"How to Make an American Quilt" by Whitney Otto is a must-read for crafty book lovers. It is filled with gushy romance, old-fashioned betrayal, sibling rivalry and lots of needle-on-fabric action. A sewing circle dives into a marathon session to finish a "crazy quilt" for a young woman who's about to wed (yet is tempted to sleep with another man). You don't have to make a full-on California king covering, but a Mini Collage Quilt will do just fine. Round up all your scraps and use them to make a small wall hanging to proudly display in your home.
