I was asked to post my Crazy Quilt Blocks that are WIP's. I took a class through my guild last October. In January we started meeting once a month to work on embellishing our blocks. We call our group "The Crazy Embellishers". Meeting together, sharing ideas and ribbons, lace and beads is a great motivator. Not sure when I will finish. I plan to work on it until it "feels" complete! Right now I am just enjoying the journey!

Enjoy! :)

Thanks for sharing them with us. I am preparing some old cloth fabric to start and I am so afraid of chosing the wrong colors that I haven't started.

Thank you for the links. I will spend some time looking at them. I have several books that have been helpful, but more is always better! :)

Beautiful...love embellishment of all kinds. Crazy quilting really does have you thinking outside the box. Look forward to seeing more.

Beautiful! Someday I want to make a crazy quilt. Are you using a combination of machine and hand stitching or just one or the other?

I am using machine stitch to make the blocks, but hand stitching for the embellishing.
