I am just stepping in to agree that there are indeed no rules in quilting and especially in crazy quilts. I believe the Victorian ladies were using the crazy quilt to show off their fine stitches, am I right? I don't have any fine stitches so I shan't do a crazy quilt for at least another 20 years. :roll: Meanwhile I will enjoy everyone elses. Be sure to post those pictures everyone!
"sweet"??? "little"??? ole, yeah I can agree and witht he quilters, but that sweet and little is a whole lotta out of my range at 5'8" and sweet is not a word my husband applies to me, especially when he wants food and I tell him "as soon as I finish this...block, sash, pinning, etc etc. lol lol
To the point of this post,
I have old scarves from my days in the '80s, dresses from the '70s, '80s, & '90s that are of that silky type fabrics. Lace from the wedding dress sewing days, and lots of fun threads for embroidery, I work a little when I'm bored with the current project and I allow my grands to cut odd size pieces for it. They are all wondering who's going to get it when it's done, but who really thinks I'll every BE done?? not me, unless I can get 8 quilts out of the piecing. lol lol
