I think that is a great idea Krystyna, and it gives me time to perfect my crazy style for next year. I am an 'amateur' compared to some of the gorgeous quilts that have been shown this month.

Moonrise, beautiful and the dragonfly was awesome!
Sulabug, what a delightful rainbow crazy!

While we might have designated May as crazy quilt month, don't forget to get your AAQI quilts in to LeslieFrost! I need to finish mine fast!

You gotta click on each little picture to see the detail up close!
QuiltingKrazy, thank you for posting all of the individual photos of each richly embellished square of your gorgeous crazy quilt.

Sulabug, outstanding!! Each square is a like a class in how to embellish. You set the bar really high.

Oh Wow! I love all of the quilts that have come in! The embellishment on these is just astounding! I hope we can add all of the quilts to the gallery in the group so we can easily view them all over and over again!

I received my DQ from DebbyG yesterday! I had such a fun month with Debby, this group is filled with some really wonderful women!

Here is the quilt from Debby - I love the colors, the style, the quilting! The quilting is amazing! and she sent along some really cool goodies! She sent some nippers, an Amish crazy quilt pattern and a mini paper piece pattern! Thank you so much Debby! and Thank you Krystyna for setting this up!

Now on to the pics!

This isn't a doll quilt, but I wanted to share it because it has been influenced and inspired by the doll quilt swaps! This is the quilt I made for my guild's quilt challenge in June. The theme is 2 color quilts ...having just done this in April in the DQ swap, I used the same palette I used for Almonds quilt and also used the same folded flowers I used in Almonds quilt. I was thinking of trying a scalloped edge, since I had never done one before and then I saw Moonrise's binding treatment on her crazy quilt!!!! I had to try it, since it mirrored the cathedral windows! I hand sewed the folds to match the windows and I love how it came out! I am think about adding some embroidery embellishment in the binding - seeing all of the incredible embroidery this month I want to try more!!!!

I hope people don't mind me sharing a non-swap quilt, but I am really excited by how much this group is influencing and inspiring my quilts!
