Here is an interesting article about CQ. From what I could see, the sewing method was often using a paper foundation. The embroidery is listed as a form of embellishment along with things added to the top after the basic fabric was sewn together. Apparently, just like today, there were many ways to go crazy - lol

I just tried my first time at crazy quilting. Not as easy as I thought it would be. Everything was going well until I got out toward the edges, and then I was having a problem getting all my raw edges covered . Lots of picking out black thread on dark fine wale cordoroy! It was fun doing it, and I made two 18 inch squares, and another one to get ready. I plan to use the fabric I made for a purse.
