Wonderful scrappy!!

I love this. I so want to make an old fashioned crazy quilt complete with embroidery and lace. Did you paper piece this, have a pattern or just wing it?

No pattern here. Can't see it, but each seam is finished off with fancy stitching. Son was just here and showed me (again) how to get the picture moved. Wonder how long I'll remember this time!!!!! Duh!

Very pretty,love the black sashing.

This is lovely. A combination of my two favorite types of quilt, scrappy and crazy. Did you just wing it or work from a pattern?

Maggie_1963 02-22-2011 05:00 PM

Love it! I am just going crazy over crazy quilts! Another member mentioned quiltville.com on the board the other day, i visited and am in awe! Can't wait to try the patterns, lots of free ones!

Beautiful. It must be time consuming, but, it is very beautiful. Just remember " Scraps begets scraps, which begets scraps..." Have fun!

Time consuming--yes. Blocks for the queen in progress took at least 2 wks. The fancy stitching took the greater part of it. But, it was fun. Helped the scrap pile and still have a garbage bag left.

What a clever use of scraps. It looks great. Thank you for sharing.

theresa.redington 02-23-2011 03:37 AM

Love your crazy, scrappy quilt!

kriscraft99 02-23-2011 03:39 AM

love it!! It is so bright and happy and I like the sashing between each block.

I've got a baby wipes container that I've been filling with scraps so I can make one of these.

Do you sew a piece under the shashing, like you do under the squares as you make it?

No, but wish I had. Also, I did not use batting.

dove 02-23-2011 04:28 AM

very nice...the black really brings out all of the beautiful colors.

Whitney60 02-23-2011 04:42 AM

It's beautiful! Is this "quilt as you go" and paper piecing? Thanks for sharing.

jeanequilts 02-23-2011 04:44 AM

The black sashing really makes the colors "pop"! Beautiful!

Kaye-Kaye 02-23-2011 04:48 AM

Just regular fmq on home machine. Not pp, just stick hand in pile of scraps and whatever comes out is it. Fun, fun, fun.

damaquilts 02-23-2011 05:06 AM

Love it but then again I made one last year very similar except more black since I made the blocks all different sizes.
