Hi MTS, this is my first crazy quilt block. Once I start embellishing, it is almost impossible to stop. "More is always better " to me. The hardest thing for me was the embroidery. I never liked to embroider and my knowledge of stitches....well, good thing there are books with good instructions. I also belong to a cq bee and Connie, head bee keeper is very well versed in making stitches. I tend to match colors and had to learn high contrast works much better on cq blocks. Though it is still a struggle. But I love making my blocks.
