Rest easy little ones--lots of good folk to care for you!
Fantastic Jan. We are all so proud of you. First one done and it's a beauty! I love those corner blocks! Oh and nag away at us who are eating your dust. I know I will need cheering all the way to the finish line for sure.
Carrie my cousin uses 3 strands of embroidery floss and making an X through the layers; threads the needle through the batting layer about a hand width away; comes up and makes another X. Continues across the quilt until it is done. There is no telltale tie as in tying a quilt. It might be just the stitch for this beautiful crazy quilt.
Here's a link:

This one doesn't make an "X"

I just googled tying quilts with an "X" .
