Ruth, there has been lots of wonderful suggestions, some which I have seen, some which I need to check out. I am working on a crib sized crazy quilt right now for my nephew's baby due in April. A book that I have been looking at religiously is "The Magic of Crazy Quilting". It goes into the embellishments quite well. The baby blanket is all one big size, not a series of 12X12 (or whatever) squares. It is also cowboy themed. Hope to have it finished in the next week. Maybe I may share a picture when done. 8)
