Some will say that crazy quilt is done with a mixture of non cotton fabrics, satin, velvet, brocade, etc., while crumb quilting is done with cotton scraps.
But for me, I would call it what I want, start a new trend, give it your own title.
I worked in a tariff regulated world for over 20 years, so I rebel where and when I can. I do quilting for fun, I don't follow "the cardinal rules", except I do a 1/4" seam always. I prewash and don't prewash, I set, and don't set, I iron and I press. For me my little quirks lead to my individualism, and my creativity. My quilts are handmade and are not perfect. I am not a machine, my moods show in my blocks. When I make something, it is a part of me, of my every day life. So Katy, try not to worry about "labels", just please yourself. Life is short, enjoy the ride.

So does that change it to a crazy block? What are the rules?
