| Thank you all!!
This is my new favorite for scrappy, crazy quilts. It works best with a foundation. This makes it semi-qayg.
I used thermore batting for that. I lsat under the quilt this evening with a plan to bind the top. I was asleep almost immediately. | |

| Since my main machine is in the shop, my flimsies are piling up.
I saw a scrappy quilt somewhere and said I'd like to do that, then could not find it again. It used 2 blocks. The 16 square block is an old standard. The other one was some sort of X. I played around with several ideas, then came up with this one.
My DH calls scrappy quilts REAL quilts, so he really likes this. | |

| For some reason your pic isn't here Marynel? I went to your album and it's in there. I really like that one. It's a perfect quilt for using a lot of scraps. I really like the red you've used. Freddy Moran says red is a neutral. I dunno about neutral..but it does look nice with a lot of colors. |

| CC, I had not thought of that, but it fits.
I did most of another baby scrappy top today, pix later. I have one seam to redo and the border to add. | |

| My DH always loves a scrappy quilt, but I like this one more than most. I had a lot of fun making it, now I have to figure out where it belongs.
DH always says that my charity quilts should be scrappy BEFORE I make them, then afterwards says, "This is too good to be a give away." I don't think he really has the concept of charity. I keep telling him a charity quilt is a gift to God and should be done with that in mind. After all, I don't want to give trash to God. | |

| Thank you. If you decide to make a crazy quilt, I suggest you start with one of Judith Baker Montano's book on the subject. I gave mine away because I didn't want to be in competition with a guild sister who is making one when she is in town (She lives in Mexico a large part of the time, having been a Mexican child film star.) Maybe I will rethink that decision.

| Oh Lovely Marynel, love your fabric colours. I altered the topic title to include Crazy quilts, I think you put it in the right place and its good to see this topic come up again, maybe we will see some other scrappy quilt pics put here soon? _________________ "My will is mine.....I shall not make it soft for you" Aeschylus, Agamemnon

| I Love crazy quilts. When I was in the guild there was a lady who specialized in them. Oh , they were to die for but so heavy you could hardly hold them up. All velvets , heavy fabrics etc that she had collected for years.And she was a very skilful embroiderer plus she also had a very large stash of old laces etc. I always wanted to make one and had a large stash that had taken me years to collect . Silks , satins , velvets etc. Lost the lot. I think that is one of the successes of them is to have that large stash which does take so long. The nice fabrics play as big a part a sthe embellishment We used to haunt second hand places but they no longer have these types of fabrics as modern people don't wear them. Pity . My dream now is to downsize and maybe one day make a Christmas Tree skirt . I did make a wall hanging type one for a friend about 15 years ago using lighter fabrics...satins, silks , taffetas etc I used to have several Judith Montano books but now only have one Crazy Quilt Odyssey ans am not over keen on it. I don't think I would bother to buy another , there is so much to see for free on the internet .Unlike you Marynel I like the ones with buttons , charms etc on them . Also special bits of ribbons , laces, sequins etc. To my eyes the ones that are embroidery only get a bit boring as there is lots of repetition of stitches n them , although the one I made my friend was embroidery only |
