i teach a class on crazy quilting. the biggest problem for some people is to just pick a strip of 'any' color and start sewing to the foundation. last time i let everyone pick all the strips for their block, put them in a paper bag and then give it to the person next to them. you would have thought i'd asked them to cut off their dominant arm!!! At least they wern't obsessing over colors any more. I love crazy quilts b/c you don't have to cut out, match, etc..... just pick a strip & sew and b/4 you know it you have enough blocks to make a quilt. i don't 'do' coordinating well - it's a chore for me. plus - all my family ever did was strip pieced quilts. maybe it's inherited. 'ya think??
