Decided I really need to get back to working on this...been years since I started it..will be fairly small as I want it large enough just to put on the end of my bed

OMG Sue!! that is absolutely beautiful!!! I love the soft colors and the details. How could you NOT work on it for three years? I'd love being able to do work like that, I'm not good at "seeing" ideas, so my stuff always looks plain. Please post the finished throw so I can dream it is on my bed.

Wow that is beautiful, lots of work to that! Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks....I really must keep at it and get it finished up

Wow, that is beautiful! Love the soft colors

That is the prettiest crazy quilt I've seen! I love the soft colors! Beautiful!

I love it!

That is so pretty. How big is it now? Is the embroidery done on machine or hand?

What a gorgeous quilt! I love the light colors and the lace in it. It is so dainty looking. I have always wanted to do a crazy quilt, but never thought of doing it in those shades.

It is beautiful. Now I can't wait to start collecting the material and lace to make one. What an inspiration. I am not great at embroidery, but get by.

You did a fantastic job!

Can't wait to see the finished job. Please don't let it take so long!:)

I can't wait!

Keep up the wonderful work and thanks for sharing! :) :)

Lovely!

It is done by hand...lol that is why it is taking me so long maybe...but really it is one of those things I just pick up now and then to work on

Great job! I love it.

Oh so pretty. Really like your soft colors. It looks so romantic.

Thats beautiful...I love anything with embroidery on it!

Thanks...anyone do punch needle embroidery? I love doing that and it worked well on this quilt too ... it can be done in nice quilt blocks and made into ornaments too...make nice gifts at holiday time

Not familair with punch needle embroidery. What is it, and how is it done?

Punch needle is really just making lots of loops with a special needle and floss ..basically..you fill in your design with the color you want and making these loops...here is a pic of some I have done

Beautiful like Spring! :lol:

Sue,
I am so glad you decided to finish it!! I have always loved the victorian look in the crazy quilts! Yours is going to be smashing!

Ditter

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh it is soooooooooo delicate and resembles beautiful Victorian flavor of gentle creativity from long ago - we would all love to see your complete project and will forever pine over your beautiful work of art!

I am glad you showed this to us. I really want to make a crazy quilt someday and am saving things to put on one, lace and so on. I love the colors and designs in yours. It gives me more incentive after seeing how beautiful yours is. Great quilt.

Very pretty and good for you getting it done. I know how much work these are. I got hooked after making a table runner. I've done round robins, dolls and charity project. I have been working on a Christmas skirt for over a year!
