    That is a very pretty block. It amazes me sometimes how a quilter can make something beautiful out of a pile of scraps :)

    That may definately help, I could have several adult beverages and maybe I would master the crazy quilt process. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Any suggestions?

    Ahhhhh - love the circles. Did you do something like paper piecing?

    No, just sewed those little pieces by hand onto a 12 inch square. It was fun!

    I never thought of that! It would be a good project for watching TV and would certainly use up all my little left over applique scraps. I must try it. Looks like you embroideried over the seams too. I love doing that.

    I try to match things too well, and like things to line up, soooo crazy quilts are not for me. If it is too frustrating, you may want to try something else with the small peices. maybe foundation peiecing
