I don't follow any of the new 'rules' when making crazy quilts. I use no foundation, I don't make blocks, and I don't plan ahead except for color theme. It's the only type of 'scrap' quilt I like, so it's the only type I make.
I just start sewing pieces together, trimming as I go so I have a straight edge to join the next piece to. When the size gets hard to handle easily, I start again. Those "chunks" get joined the same way the separate scraps did. The hand embroidery on every seam stabilizes all the edges and the binding secures it all. It's quite relaxing, no worry about measurements or accurate seam allowances. No seams meet in an 'X', only in a 'T', and the whole thing flows together. It's how I learned to make them (from my mother) and it works perfectly for me. :oops:
