I have made several crazy quilts. You can see some of them on the Pictures menu - Just a few, More quilts I have made and Even more quilts I have made.
I don't use a pattern, I start with a pentagon shape and just start adding strips and odd shapes like a log cabin. I often use prom dress that already have the beads and embroidery done on the fabric. They are a lot of fun to do. I also use the decorative stitches on the seams and always add a spider web somewhere because the Victorians considered them good luck. I wonder why?
