That is wonderful. It is neat you are doing it with your Mom. The ones I have seen always have lots of embellishment with embrodery. Keep going, it will be a beautiful quilt.

No, it isn't too much, you can never have enough decoration on a crazy quilt. BTW, it looks great!

The crazier the better!! It's beautiful!

goodness gracious me oh my - so much detail it's hard to pick a favorite block (got to be the tulips for me)

You never can put too much - go 'crazy' & enjoy time spent with your mom.

sewgray 01-26-2011 01:39 PM

No it's not too much. i don't think you can put too much on a crazy quilt.

Very pretty!

It's beautiful and what great memories the two of you are making.

I've become a strong believer in 'making memories'. Before my DM passed away I asked her all sorts of questions: favorite color, favorite bird, favorite flower, favorite meal, favorite actor, favorite song, all time favorite movie, etc.

Maybe I should think about adding embroidery of some of those things to the t-shirt quilt I plan to make with her shirts. I could name it "Miss Rose's Crazy T". LOL (Her name was Rose ... favorite flower? nope, carnations!)

Thanks for sharing!

xsquilter 01-26-2011 02:38 PM

It's wonderful! Beautiful! What a treat to have someone to quilt/embroider with!

That is beautiful. It is not too much.

quiltsRfun 01-26-2011 03:20 PM

It's beautiful and not at all too much. It seems that with crazy quilts you can do as much or as little as you'd like.

Jeanniejo 01-26-2011 03:21 PM

Wow !! Impressive !!

buckeyed 01-26-2011 03:22 PM

Beautiful quilt

maryb119 01-26-2011 03:35 PM

It's perfect!!! I love the colors.

ontheriver 01-26-2011 03:50 PM

You should do it. great idea with the t-shirts. I am enjoying spending time with mom, and it is great watching her go through books and everything for ideas and patterns. I haven't seen her so excited in a long time. Keeps her busy and her mind occupied while creating memories I will have long after she is gone. Thanks to all for the great input, it is greatly appreciated.

You can never put too much on a crazy quilt!!! Looks wonderful!!! :thumbup: What a terrific project for the two of you to do together! :wink:
