CRAZY QUILT - ANATOMY OF THE DESIGN
If you love different quilting techniques to incorporate into your projects, then crazy quilt is just for you! This technique
involves several fabrics being placed as appliqués, with decorative stitches on top of the tack down seams. Crazy quilt blocks
are easy to make and add a great visual appeal and interest to the fabrics you use, even if they are rather plain. So grab your
fabric scraps bin, pick some favorite thread colors, and get crazy!
Notes:
Decorative embroidery
will run over your tack
down lines between
fabrics, covering the
raw edge with stitches.
Crazy quilts let the fabric
act as a backdrop, with
the real fun emerging in
the embroidery details.
Since several appliqués
are involved, we have
numbered the fabrics in
order of placement to
eliminate any guesswork.
