My DH once me to make him a crazy quilt. I always go by a pattern when I make a quilt so I showed him pictures of what it would look like. He doesn't like the fact that you can see that each crazy block was trimmed into a square and then sewn together. The crazy quilt he remembers from his childhood seemed more like just one large piece of fabric made from odd shaped scraps with no seams where the blocks were joined together. I know I am not describing this clearly, hopefully someone will understand what I'm trying to say.


Does anyone know how to make a crazy quilt so that you don't see the seams where the individual blocks are sewn together? I have looked at pics of vintage crazy quilts and in most of them, you can see where the blocks are joined. Occasionally I will find a pic where you can't see where the blocks were joined but I can't see how they achieved this effect.
Any ideas?
