I was cleaning today and came across Grandma's Crazy Patch quilt which she made about 50 years ago. The blocks are 14" and all made with silk scraps. I imagine Grandma was given a box of scraps from someone. I know she wouldn't have gone out and bought them. To me, this is what crazy patch is all about. I wish she was still here to know that I finally got the quilting bug, too. That's her old treadle machine in my avatar.
(Sorry, it's a bit wrinkled but I'm afraid to iron it.)

Lovely

That is so beautiful! You lucky girl!

Cherish it forever. Beautiful!!

How beautiful. Looks brand new. Would love to have that on my bed. Is it quilted?

It is still stunning after all this time. What a great treasure.

Very pretty!

Beautiful!

It's quilted with an embroidery stitch. I don't know the name of this stitch, but she used in in almost all of her quilts. Here's a photo. Does anyone know the name of the stitch?

Wow, that is gorgeous! I love the colors and the embroidery.
Is that what they call a "feather" stitch?
