Crazy Crumb top
I've been working on this one since last May. I go to a retreat in Shipshewana and this was the challenge from April 2019, due this April. The pattern was copied from an antique quilt found a an Amish auction. The original was very drab, lots of browns - mine is a crazy mix of 30s reproductions, 60s calicos and Civil War fabrics! Foundation pieced on paper.
I changed the original piano key border to a dark calico, but may cut it a bit narrower before binding, it looks a bit heavy.
Sorry for the picture quality, my phone is needing to be replaced.

I think it is very pretty! You have done a great job on this one. I love your choice of fabrics too. It does give it a lot of pizzazz. This quilt makes an impression on anyone who sees it. That it is foundations pieced makes it all the more fun.
