“The projects are easy (not to mention fun) . . . Beginners or experienced quilters will love 9-Patch Pizzazz. It’s a keeper for your quilt book library.” —Armchair Interviews

They’ll never believe you made it in a day! Talk about bang for the buck: combining a special fabric with a few easy nine-patches yields captivating quilts ranging from sassy to sophisticated. You’ll get hooked on this technique! Judy provides sixteen different layouts for unlimited project potential.

A beginner book without that “beginner look!”
It’s been called the “potato chip quilt”—no one can make just one
Use your favorite fabrics including large-scale, novelty, and panels

“Most quilts only use three or four fabrics and only squares and rectangles are used in their design but the results look much more complex than that would suggest . . . The choice of fabrics and design guidelines at the beginning of the book are well illustrated, simple to comprehend and can be adapted to produce quilts of any size . . . The six projects given in the second part are for small quilts which can be used as large wall-hangings or lap quilts.” —Popular Patchwork

“A great way to use large scale fabrics, and it’s also a design that leaves a lot of room for your own sense of color and artistic layouts.” —Quilting . . . for the Rest of Us

"Circle Pizzazz" is Judy Sisneros' 4th book and the most original one yet. She started with the old traditional block "snake trail" - recut the block and added pieces - getting a new original block. Acrylic templates (5 pieces) are available on her website, to individuals and shops.

Judy's first memory of sewing is making a rag doll and doll clothes as a child. She took her first sewing lessons in 1964 but didn't start quilting until 1987. Her first quilting lessons were through the local adult school. After a move to California's far north coast, she began making landscape quilts.

Her first book, Simply Landscapes, was published in 1994. Her second book, the best-seller "9-Patch Pizzazz: Fast, Fun & Finished in a Day", was published in 2006, followed by "Rectangle Pizzazz" in 2008, both from C&T Publishing.

Judy loves teaching and feels fortunate to be making a living doing something she loves. Judy tries to add a new workshop every year because so many of her students are repeat customers. She is available to teach and lecture nationwide. Her love of people, travel, and fabric makes her an enthusiastic teacher! Kits are available for purchase in many workshops. Visit her website at www.judysisneros.com. She lives in Rocklin, California, near Sacramento.

9-Patch Pizzazz

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

The subtitle of this quilt design pattern book says it all - "Fast, fun and finished in a day." Well, I'm not sure about that last, but the designs are really fast and fun - and the finished quilt can be very interesting depending on the fabrics you use and how you use them - the book gives great suggestions in that regard. Also, the instructions are clear and easy to follow.

This is a good book for beginning quilters who have some knowledge of quilt-making basics because of the clear and easy instructions and because they can come up with an interesting and unique quilt. But, because of the latter, it's also fun for experienced quilters. Plenty of suggestions for them to go off "on their own" for a more challenging project.

9-Patch Pizzazz

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2008

This book offers a "formula" for creating interesting looking quilts that make use of your fabric stash, especially those fabrics that you are reluctant to cut. You can use larger pattterned fabrics as focal pieces and add coordinating fabrics in the 9-patch blocks for additional visual interest without detracting from the focal fabric. "Oriental Flight" pictured on the cover, gives the look of a watercolor-style quilt without having to cut so many tiny pieces. After viewing quilts made by students in a 9-Patch Pizzazz class at a quilt shop in Austin, TX, I am glad that I purchased this book. Clear directions and many close-up color photos.

Great book for the quilters library.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

For fast, easy quilts this is a good pattern book. It uses large scale prints or even panels with 9 patches to make some very nice quilts. I have used it several times and I am glad I have it close at hand. I typically make complicated quilts for myself and quilts like this for others. The quilts look complicated but they are not. Great book for the quilters library.

A "Must Read" for Beginning Quilters

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

For those beginning quilters out there, such as myself, this book is a must for overcoming the thousand and one rules that keep us from ever starting. In this book, the rules are embedded in the formula and the results are phenomenal and individualistic. Try it for yourself. For me, it's just what I needed.

Fast, FUN & finished in a day - just like title says!!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2008

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book thinking it would give me ideas for a gazillion 9 patches I acquired during recent yr long exchange. It didn't work for that but opened up a whole new avenue for using some BIG PRINT fabrics I had NO IDEA what to do with. My only suggestion is to carefully watch directional pieces & remember where they go. Silly me, counted needing 6 rectangles so that's what I fussy cut not paying attention to fact that SOME of them were vertical & some horizontal. Lots of fabric so no worry. Really fun, whimsical cow/farmyard quilt when finished. I can't wait to make more! I truly enjoyed the book & look forward to getting her Rectangle Pizzazz very soon. Just a note....I'm a new quilter & found the book VERY EASY to follow. Hope this is helpful...happy quilting!

The Answer For All Those Novelty Fabrics!

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

I love all those fun fabrics. Never buying the entire collection, only the the special ones I can't restist, then what? A stash full of fabrics that are destined to be border fabrics, snowballs, or setting blocks, how boring! I've made two quilts using this book with stunning results. One was a charity quilt with rave reviews! Following Judy's suggestions is a breeze. She makes recommendations on coordinating fabrics and even provides you with the do's and don'ts examples. You make the choice.

With over 35 years sewing experience, 15 years as a quilter, I didn't think I would gain much from this book. Was I wrong! This is a "sleeper", the kind of book you look at, then go back to and continue to learn something each time. Well worth investing in for your personal library.

Inspiring

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

I like this book mainly for the inspiring photos of completed projects. It would be impossible for anyone to exactly duplicate anything in this book but that is not the point. Start with a large print and, starting with her suggested templates and contrasting or coordinating prints, use your design wall and PLAY! Looked at this with KU access. Will probably purchase the e-book.

Ordered this book after borrowing a friend’s and decided I wanted my own copy. The book I received was pristine and shipping was fast! Used books on Amazon is the way to go in my opinion!

This book has many unique, beautiful quilts in it. The instructions are awesome. The author has truly unique construction methods. I feel I will make something from this book when I want a true challenge. The quilts that she recommends for beginners, uh, I can't imagine a beginner being able to accomplish them.
