    Thanks everyone for your lovely comments again :D

    Peel and Rox17, you just have to go for it...and trust me there are LOTS of bloopers on this quilt..BUT I have to say, you don't notice them unless you get your nose about 6" away from the quilt...now that is not a normal viewing position is it??? :lol:

    [quote=Izy]Here is my crazy/crumb quilt that will go to my son and his girlfriend for christmas....AND I went for it..and free motioned, what fun!! It only took two afternoons to do the meandering and another hour to do the border in a smaller stipple :D

    There are a few 'hiccups' where panic set in when I realised I was getting too close to another line of stitching, but what the heck, it's my first real attempt and only my 4th quilt (the biggest!!), and as you will see it has been 'approved' by the quilt inspector!! :D

    Is that the quilt inspectors cute "widdle head" we see on left side of the bed? :D Love that quilt!

    It's been so long since I created this topic, I just had to go back through the pictures to see...and YES that is Sasha peaking from the side..BUT if you scroll down through the first page, you will see additional closeups of the blocks AND Sasha at her best, sprawled all over the quilt LOL!!

    Thanks for your lovely comments

    Haha..I never do things by half... BUT I did quilt it in two halves diagonally!! It's been three years since I made this quilt, but it is enjoying a revival due to recent interest in my crumb block tutorial which is under the Tutorial section if anyone would like to download it
