I have seen one crazy quilt that was double bed size with no blocks. The quilt was started in the middle and all the crazy pieces were built around until the entire flat double sheet was covered. All the embellishments were added and a plain backing applied in the "birthing manner" previously mentioned. This was made and designed to be hung on the wall in order to display all the embellishments and creative top stiches round each attached piece. I hope to make a smaller version of this quilt and to use it as a wall hanging. They were meant to display ladies elegant dress, drapery and historic fabrics which were embellished with lace, fancy buttons and pieces of costume jewlery. The embroidery stitches were to show off the ladies creative stichery. The quilts did not have batting sice they were wall hangings and not bed quilts.
