I occasionally enjoy working with a crazy quilt format. There are no points to match; using up a lot of scraps; using colors and embellishments as I feel like it; and, best of all, no expectations! Perfect for the New Year 2024.
THE STATS: Crazy Times, 2024, 29"x29", Foundation pieced, Machine pieced, Machine quilted.
Additionally, the different techniques I included were miniature quilt blocks, buttons, ribbons, Broderie Perse, thread painting, raw edge applique, wool applique, hand drawings, computer- generated words, and machine embroidery.
My original plan was not to put a border on it, but a quilt this crazy needed something to corral it in. Plus, I was dealing with so many bias edges. By designing it on the diagonal, I was constantly dealing with hypotenuse measurements; Pythagoras became my closest friend!
