I've made several crazy quilt vests and they turned out better than I expected. I've made large crazy quilt blocks to contribute to a guild quilt.
They say once you get started making crazy quilt blocks, it's addictive. Whatever else it is, it's challenging, especially toward the end of the block.
If you have any fancy stitches on your sewing machine, they cover many seams painlesslessly. I used baby rick rack to cover seams and "wrapped" it in the curves with embroidery thread. That's a quick technique and it looks spectacular even though it requires little effort.
A friend of mine adds beads, but that's for wall hangings. Just jump in an be happy with the results.
