Moose girl - just came back for a closer look - I was in a rush before as I had to get the kids off the bus! I downloaded your pics so I could have a REALLY good look; :-D

The first one is with ties right? I like the kind of simple craziness of it, if you know what I mean - that you embellished the seaams with the same stitch. I think the holiday one is beautiful! I like the 'crazy' stocking and all the lace. How are you going to join the blocks together? I've been thinking about this and wondering if it would be nice to put a really skinny sashing, like a 1/4" then quilt through that with a zigzag or herringbone. I know crazy quilts weren't quilted traditionally but I thought this might work if I use a really stable batting as my blocks are only 6" square? What do you think? Of course, I'm probably years away from THAT stage, the time it's taking to embellish one block! Fun though! I made a fish last night out of chain stitch - didn't plan to, it just evolved! :-D I love your dragonfly on the third one BTW - might have to copy! ;-)
