    I have'nt done any crazy quilting, but after looking at yours, I think I may have to give it a try. Your blocks are beautiful.

    Your work is wonderful. I love crazy quilting but as you said, it is time comsuming. I make a few pieces...and end up making a pillow or something small so that I can go on to another project. I love doing hand work though.

    about twelve years ago I made crazy quilt vests for my DD, DDIL, and three little DGDs for Christmas. I used pastel silks etc. and embelished them. I wish I had pictures of them. I love your blocks. I have materials to make some CQ pillows. I just may have to get started on them.

    Oh wow! I can't imagine what the entire quilt is going to look like. The blocks you have pictured are fabulous. Please let us see more.

    Those are amazing blocks. I can see why they would take a long time to do, but they are beautiful. Be sure to post photos once you get the whole quilt done.

    Your blocks are just gorgeous and you have put a lot of work into them. I think some of these "specialities" do require a little more talent and you certainly have it in bucket loads!

    Beautiful work. Is this going to be a wall hanging? Looks too fancy for a bed.
