I just got the Creative Grids Crazy quilt rulers yesterday. I also have a couple of dozen of the Marti Michell templates. Before ordering the Creative Grids rulers I played around with the Marti Michel rulers to see if I could come up with a combination similar to the CGCQ rulers. Couldn't quite do it. However i don't order the CGCC rulers for a traditional Crazy Quilt look. I want a more of a controlled design look. (Don't know how to word it). I want to choose four fabrics and cut about four pieces of each shape in each color and then sewing together using one of each color in each block in a coordinated way. Also thinking of buying some Stonehenge fabrics in grays and beiges and constructing a quilt to look like slate flooring. I'm thinking of sewing narrow sashing around each shape to resemble grouting. Not sure that would work or be worth the effort. Another idea I have is to use the templates to cut pieces using scraps after completing each quilt project and sewing into blocks. When I have an idea to use the blocks for whatever (bags, placemats, table runners etc) I have the blocks ready to go. And definitely plan on trying some of the many decorative stitches on my machine to quilt them.
