I used to work for a 100 year old lady and she did crazy quilts, also nearly blind. What her daughrter did was to tear big chunks of old sheets that were still good, but not used anymore into the same size. Then the lady took pieces of fabric and sewed them to the sheet. She put it on just as you did and turned it over and stitched them down (three seams-1 time) and then the daughter took them and trimmed them and when she had enough she sewed them together and put a backing on it. They were then given to the great grandchildren, so they had something she had made. She lived to be 103 yr old but had to go to nursing home for the last 1 1/2 yr of her life. Went completely blind and had to have someone around all the time to help her. My neighbor also made one like this and I have some I started, but I have some stiff interfacing that I am sewing mine to. I bought a huge roll for $10 at an auction sale and I know I will never use it all either.

I love crazy quilts and this process sounds like fun. Your blocks are awesome and you have inspired me to try this with my scraps!
