MY THOUGHTS:   I love making crazy quilts.  But I have a problem getting started.  I can't seem to get my fabric onto the block, I usually have way to much fabric or not enough.  This is the perfect example of not enough fabric and way too many open spaces and not enough seams.
This block on the other hand has numerous pieces of fabric and lots of seams to work on.
Sharon over at Pintangle has written a book to help guide you through the process of making a Crazy Quilt block from beginning to end.  If your not quite sure how to start a Crazy Quilt block, you should get this book, Sharon has lots of info and ideas for making your Crazy Quilt look awesome!
I give this book 5.....
