ok am i understanding about what frabic i can use on a crazy quilt does that mean i am able to use any kind cotton silk velvet..............thank

The old, traditional crazy quilts used all kinds of scraps, fabrics, fabric labels from cigarettes and campaigns, signatures and dates embroidered in, also a ton of all kinds of other embroidery stitches to hold them together. I am not an expert, just going off of what I have seen and read. Have fun! :-)

Sure! Just remember some is more difficult to press with an iron. I think velvet and silk always look so pretty in a crazy quilt. Share pictures when you are finished.

Yes, you've got it.

If you use a muslin foundation you can use any fabric you want. The muslin makes it stable so you don't have to worry about grain lines either.

I'm with Scissor Queen, use a foundation and use any fabric you like. The more the better, make it personal. I have made silks, velvets, cotton and wool crazy quilts. and have mixed most of these in one crazy quilt. I also used old costume jewelry of my Mom's to decorate one of the quilts.
Go for it...have fun...be adventurous...remember it's for fun not brain surgery!

I cheated when I did my CQ..I used all diff Paper Piecings which worked out great...and all types of fabric...but my favorite fabric is the velvet. In fact I found a large piece in an antique shop which I used as the back
