I have always loved the look of Crazy Quilting, so when my cousin called one day last summer and asked if I would like a quilt that my Aunt's mother had started years ago, I said yes.
What I received was several pieces of Crazy Quilting, none large enough for an actual quilt, but perfect for smaller projects, such as a wall hanging, pillow, table topper etc.
The largest is made up of 4 Quilt squares done in velvets... and the original quilter has done quite a bit of the embroidery on it that makes Crazy Quilting so special.
I would like to further embellish this one with beads and lace and such and turn it into a wall hanging for our bedroom.
The second piece is smaller, and it looks like it is made from men's ties. This one has a bit of embroidery done, but not much. I love the fan in the corner. This one I think I would complete as a table topper (not to be eaten on, of course)
The third piece is a small scrap of a piece that I think I could perhaps add to with more fancy fabric and turn into a doll quit, or a pillow..
And the fourth piece is pretty much a blank canvas...
I consider myself so blessed to have received these old patches from years gone by - I plan to treasure them for years to come...
