I have done quite a bit of beading on crazy quilts. My favorite motif is dragonflies. I've also done spiders and a little beaded frog. I also use them a lot to accent embroidery (little ones look great in vines made of feather stitches) and as centers for ribbon roses and other flowers. Beading can be a bit addictive, once you get started and if you Google "crazy quilt beading," you will probably find lots of gorgeous examples.
