Having been fascinated by Crazy Quilts forever, I gave it a shot. It is easy and it frees ones creative side, but talk about labor intensive!!! Just in the decorative stitches, mind you. I wanted really elaborate. After I realized I wasn't going to live long enough to finish a quilt (I figured at least 100 years), I decided to make a Christmas stocking out of it. No pics, I gave it to a friend for Christmas, but it turned out beautiful. And I actually got it done. No, it is not still a UFO lurking in the recesses of my sewing room. If a Crazy Quilt seems overwhelming to any of you , consider a smaller project.
