I love your quilt. It reminds me of the quilt I had as a kid - no sashing at all on any I ever had.

I like crazy quilts, and I think you have done a really nice job, and It is very pretty! If you are thinking about sashing, I would try different fabrics to see what looks best.

That's why they call it a 'crazy quilt' - when making one, I follow no specific rules. I like your execution. Your blocks make me happy!! Try some dark contrast sashing in between to make your color choices pop and I think you've got a real winner!! Just have fun with it!!

This quilt will not have embellishments as it will be used on a bed. In the old days embellishments were used on wall hangins or just throws that were draped over a setee or couch. I will do one some day with the embellishments but I can still could incorpprate some lace ina few blocks if i want. I would if i had some but atm i dont have any lace etc. Can you beleive this? A seamstress with no lace???? UGH oh well is the way it goes sometimes.

What are you using as a stabilizer? I used muslin for mine and stitched in the ditch and used no sashing or borders. It's your quilt and it is beautiful.

Just wanted to say that your blocks are awesome; have tried to do a crazy quilt several times and I just can't get the hang of it for some reason. Don't know why, but would like to keep trying. No help on this, but wanted to say you have inspired me.

like i said it is my way and i seen a video on you tube by a guy called heathworld. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx7QM...t4hzYm_SlnMBDQ He has 4 videos out and is how i kinda learned from him. He makes it easy. So all i do is i have my color choices ina basket next to me, then i start with 3-4 different kinds of pieces i like to use. I use a rotery cutter and cut what i want or just use a triangle piece or strip and lay it . I take 2nd piece of choice and turn over one edge-iron it and lay on a raw edge of number 1 piece, then set my machine to the fancy stitch of choice and stitch it in place. I usually do 3-4 pieces layout before i stitch so i have the layout. This is how i do it until it reaches a bit larger than my desired square which mine are 8 inch squares once squared off. This way is so simple for me and i can use lots of scrappys i have collected of all shapes n sizes. It works for me.

Your fabric choices give it lots of texture and a fun look. I too, agree that black sashing would make it pop and show off the blocks, but many people don't use sashing at all. Have fun with it and you will be happy. Be sure to post a pic of the finished product

Honestly when I was a little girl, I had constant ear aches. In those days you stayed in bed. I spent many times tracing and retracing my bedspread designs. Every time you look at a square, you see something different.
I also make scrappy quilts.
