Crazy quilt questions
I recently saw a thread about crazy quilts and now I've got the itch to do one. It'll be way in the future and I'll be able to use lots of my stash, but I can't get my brain wrapped around how to do some things.
1) Do I need to make the blocks on a foundation? What are the benefits of making a block on a foundation? Will it be significantly stiffer if I make a block on a foundation square? Must a foundation be fabric or can wash away stabilizer be used?
2) Once the squares are sewn together, how is a crazy quilt quilted? I'm at a loss.....I've seen oodles of YouTube videos about block construction but almost nothing about what to do after that.
3) I'm interested in learning about crazy quilts done using my DSM and it's decorative stitches AND using a pattern for my embroidery machine. Are there any good books out there that describe crazy quilt construction and techniques for both methods? I've seen patterns by Molly Mine that look very good and I'd like to know if anyone has used them.
