I keep thinking I should do some on it and maybe some day I'll ad some buttons and lace to it, too. Don't believe for a minute sashing should go on a crazy quilt - it distracts from the crazy - if your blocks are too much alike, shift them a quarter turn rather than sash them. The embroidery will serve somewhat as sashing anyway. If you want to add to your crazy quilt do something crazy like make a few blocks out of old silk neck ties to slip in randomly. You may also find some thing at a thrift store in silk that would lend itself to your quilt. It IS a crazy quilt so let your imagination roll.
