I like crazy quilting also. Yours are very pretty.

I have never tried, but you crazy quilts are lovely.

I haven't, but I hope to some day, especially after seeing yours! So beautiful and unique and creative!

These are beautiful - I love the heart. Crazy is one of my evening handwork projects too - I've only done two blocks so far and have no idea what it will end up as but I love all the ribbons, embroidery and little doodads you can include! Plus, it widens out the shopping obsession from fabric and tools! I scrounged around the house for stuff as well - buttons, beads from a broken bracelet of my daughter's, odd earings, one of DH's silk ties (I asked him first!). I also am using some non cottons, my little girl's outgrown velvet dress, some organza type stuff etc. Anything like that, I iron on to interfacing to stabilise it.

Do you piece your blocks by hand or machine? I did a couple a while ago which are 9" squares hand pieced onto a muslin foundation but found them too big to work on comfortably so they are now pinned up in my sewing room - maybe I'll make them into cushions or something. My new project is with 6" squares and I machine pieced them, no foundation. It's fun isn't it? I must pick mine up again, haven't done any since Christmas becasue I'm trying to finish a hand quilting project. Maybe I'll do some this evening! :-D

You do a wonderful job---your embroidery work is stunning!

Your work is lovely.
I love to crazy quilt. It is a good way to use up fabrics that are not suitable for most bed quilts that you just couldn't resist buying. I will admit that I only do the embroidery with my machine. It also gives me an excuse to buy those premade lacey things that look so good on a crazy quilt.

I piece my blocks by machine. I love to use lace and buttons and stitching. We have a place that sells lots of trim for sometimes .50 a yard. Love that place.

I'm a crazy quilter and I love to hand embroider so it's a great combination. My friends and I are making crazy quilted needlecases. If I knew how to put a picture into this computer and send it on I would show it to you. We call ourselves 'The Crazy Ladies."

Haven't tried yet. Got some foundation squares. Just a question before I start -- do you do batting and quilting like a regular quilt when you crazy quilt?

I have tried crazy quilting on a foundation fabric but mine dosn't look neat like yours
