Very nice, Krystyna! I love the binding! Is it trim? The colors and design are very cool!

I used organza ribbon on my binding, cotton didn't seem to fit on this one .

Love seeing where everyone is going with this!

Krystyna

Thanks, everyone. The binding is actually ribbon sewn on front and back and then sewn together at the edge. I really wish I could have quilted it, but it seems to hold together well without. Here's another corner. I think I might tack parts of it down.

too late! krystyna! sorry! but i'm excited! oh, yeah, you know most crazy quilts are not quilted, they're tied, so that would be appropriate. truth be told, yours is tied, too, well, some anyway.
louise-- snowshoes do seem to have that siamese whiney, talkative streak. but they are also very sweet and friendly.

was gonna say the same thing K~ they are usually tied instead of quilted and I was gonna tie Teresa's but I like the way it looks without tying...yours looks great as it is

Really? DQ are tied, not quilted? I did not know that! Or just CRAZY quilts??

brenda21

most crazy quilts are tied cause of all the embellishments....hard to quilt around all of it.

nancia

crazy quilts. of course, there is always the option of tying or quilting with any quilt. doll quilts included. most of us on this swap quilt them either because we can or because we're learning how.

You would think that with all of the fabric in this house that I could find one piece that is the correct color for this cq backing....oh well, guess I have to go to LQS tomorrow

Oh, well I have learned something new today!

I used muslin. Figured the front was fancy enough.
