I think that you did a very nice job with your selections and execution of your stitching. I might have used a darker fabric such as black for the sashing instead of the gold/tan fabric. But that is minor and if your happy with your work, I am certainly not going to go against your choices.

Very pretty! I think I would cut 1 inch black sashing to go between the squares. I find a narrow sash that ends up being 1/2 inch wide, gives the intricate blocks a place for all their seam allowances to go into the sashing. The small sashing also end up feeling the same weight as the fancy squares because of the seam allowances meeting under the sashing. Black narrow sashing would make your fancy blocks look like stain glass windows. Of course that is just my opinion and you may have a different idea to finish them.

I think you have done a nice job on your blocks. Many times people add bits of lace and doilies -- but each crazy quilt is what the maker wants it to be! I've been collecting vintage embroidery -- I want to use those pieces somewhere in the crazy quilt pieces. How big are you going to make your quilt? Are you going to use sashing? Borders? How the heck are you going to quilt it?

My Mom made a crazy quilt this way. Of course her blocks were the size of cloth diapers which she used as batting.
I never found out where that quilt ended up after my parents divorced.
You did an excellent job on yours. I really like it.
