When I make my big crazy patch blocks, I like to use my rayon embroidery threads and machine embroider over each seam. it looks really neat!!! I have some photos at home I should look for them and post them to show you what I mean. I am making one now for Trevor for his birthday. He is a HUGE HUGE Van Halen fan. He and his good buddy went to see them in concert back in October in Toronto. They took photos of themselves at the concert and the group. So while he was at work one day, I went in on his computer, snooped around found the photos plus other photos of the band back in the 80s and printed them off onto photo transfer paper. Each photo will be in the center of each 14" block and then lots of funky crazy patch fabrics around it. Then embroider them. This will be a birthday gift for him for August.

I am also planning to make one to teach this coming September. I have made a bunch of them and looooove making them!
