I can't believe I haven't tried this before. Although I will probably do the design on paper, buy the design by the hard is rather expensive...NICE but a little expensive.
Here the patter we used and then a sample of how it turned out. Sorry for the blurry pic, took it with my phone at work. :)
miholmes---just finished the last crazy blocks for a queen size today. Didn't have a pattern. Just put on whatever and whichever. No 2 alike. I then went over each seam with a decorative stitch as you see in the old-time crazy quilts. Am sashing with black. Makes each block really stand out. It is fun, but with all the extra stitching it does get a bit boring. Now to finish it. Good luck with yours. I like that pattern??? though. I have one similar from an old magazing. Have fun. Marge
Where did you take your class? West Side Sewing?
