Lobster, I have to agree with Eagle Hawk...I have made several crazy quilts, and have tied all of them. Crazy quilts are normally just the front and a backing<although I did do one with thick batting for my parents 45th wedding anniversary quilt>. Now I am not saying you can't, but going through those seams and embellishments is going to be a difficult job. I did mine mainly out of velvet, satin, silk and materials that do not take to quilting easily<You have to do different techniques with many of the "fancy fabrics" to even applique them together. What type of fabric are you using?<It is hard to tell from the picture.>
If you are adding beads, charms, buttons, etc, be sure and add them AFTER quilting. The places where you fused may make the needle "gummy". I am looking forward to seeing your result!!! Great colors. I will also echo - Only YOU can decide what advice to take to make it your quilt, so as I say to my friends - take what you like and leave the rest!
p.s. Your avatar is lovely!
