Is the main difference that crazy quilt blocks are foundation pieced, while crumb quilt blocks are not?
Thanks,
I think the main difference is that crazy quilts give quilters the opportunity to show off their beautiful stitching skills and add a lot of pretty embelleshments. They are awesome quilts. A crumb quilt can be foundation pieced, or not. It's personal preference or what you want for a particular quilt.
