Did anyone see this site about making the Crazy Quilt?

It probably is something everyone but me has already read, but I thought I would share just in case.

Sorry I wasn't more help. May I suggest you take a class, or read a book about crazy quilts. LOL, Cecelia :-)

I have some step by step instructions posted on this website.
I hope it will help.

When I sent an earllier I mentioned newspaper ink might rub off if used for a base in crazy quilt squares. Today I learned that if the papers ironed on both sides it sets the ink. (English Butlers would iron their Masters newspapers so they wouldn't get ink on their hands) Of course, we can have our Bulter iron our newspapers). I got the information, along with this one, if newspapers are stacked for 3 weeks the ink is set. Oh well, the Butler is on vacation. The Site for the information was the Quilting Connection an email I receive every month. It's has a extension from Quilters World. When I get her e-mail address I'll send it on,, LOL Cecelia

Hi, I'm back, Sandra L. Hatch is the Editor of Quilter's world and the e-mail comes every 3 weeks. The contact is: [email protected]. Ok I hope that helps. Cecelia

Been looking for a job for the butler. Thanks for the tip. :lol:

Ruth,

By now you have probably already staarted and/or finished your Crazy Quilt, but if not, you mighht check our the "equilltpatterns.com" site. They have a patttern for a Stained Glass Crazy Quilt. I am making it Just a little larger as a graduation present for my grandaughter, and so far it's looking good. The way it goes together it does not require a foundation piece. Easy as the dickens.

Good Luck!

My first crazy quilt was made out of my Daddy's neckties. It turned out very nice and pleased my Mother greatly. Then my grandson requested one and I made his rather small. Now another grandson has put in his order for a Queen Size which I pray I'll live long enough to complete it. My younger brother met his death a few years ago in a tragic car accident and I have all his beautiful ties which I've been unable to cut up. Now I feel I'm able to do this since I have a mission to fulfill a promise to my grandson who is entering law school soon and hopefully, the quilt will be completed for his graduation! rk

get your grandson to cough up one of his own ties for each year of high school , college, and law school. use them in the border to "tie" together the generations.

yeah ... i know it's a painful pun but i just couldn't resist!

:wink:

I was wandering around the intenet recently, and found the quilter's cache (www.quilterscache.com) There were explicit instructions for a crazy quilt block that appeared simple, so I tried it. It was great! :D The method involves the foundation block, and has instructions on what to do to cover the block.

Good luck on you crazy quilt!
