I love Crazy Quilts, they are real works of art. Now you can grab it when company comes, like the old Victorian ladies did. Their work was so lovely and delicate that they used them to show visitors that they were rich enough that they had time to do "workless" time for quilting a non quilt lap robe.

The women who came in to scrub the floor and do the cooking and washing and ironing and all the rest of the work around the place didn't have the time, energy or money to do such delicate handiwork, even if they did have the talent.

Is this a lap quilt or for the bed? If for the bed, WOW, you've done a marvelous and totally awesome job on such a large piece of art.
