Here's a site that I've bookmarked on embroidery stitches. Have fun!!!

thank you sewcrafty

Madquilter has right idea. Start in the middle and work your way out. If you want blocks square up and start next.

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 want to learn to do this also, thanks for the thread

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.
