something that is really popular now are bed runners, that is just a thought, or if you have a fireplace use as a mantel cover at Christmas, they are really pretty

Yeah! I found another purple one that I had "started"....that would make 4, if I can just make myself find the time to finish them. With 4, I am leaning toward making a small crazy quilt throw with adding other blocks made of taffeta, velvet, etc. to make it large enough. I have always ABSOLITELY loved the old crazy quilts with all the embellishments. That's why I started these, and then I got all involved with regular quilting and bought a LA, which consumes most of my time. But, I am a very disciplined person. So, I think if I "make" so many minutes/hr per night to work on these, I think I'll make it!! Thanks for all your responses...loved every one of them!!! IF I see this is not going to happen, then I'm gonna frame a couple of them...make a pillow with another one. But, I really want the crazy quilt. :)

cmagee84: Could you post your ongoing crazy quilt blocks? I love CQ and would love to see yours.

misoop: Your CQ blocks are beautiful. Are the all hand pieced as well as the embroidery? Love the variation in fabrics and the stitching. Whatever you do, display them for everyone to enjoy. They are too nice to keep in hiding.

Arrange them vertically or horizontally with sashing in between and have a wall hanging - would look great in bedroom/bathroom/or whereever.
