In my experience if a foundation fabric is used for a crazy quilt it's just muslin.. and the fabrics used for the top are "dressier" things. silk,, satin, velvet, etc. I've never heard of using chiffon or organza.. I think the chiffon would be too sheer and the organza would be stiff as a board. also the ones I have seen had a backing and were quilted and so the foundation fabric was not seen.

I have made crazy quilts from after five and prom dresses. The very delicate chiffons were fused to medium Heat N Bond to make them stable. The dresses I used already had a lot of beading and embroidery on them and I incorporated that into my quilts and then when completed I added other decorations such as buttons, lace pieces, charms, etc. I also used almost all of the decorative stitches on my machine on each seam line because I don't do hand embroidery. I have a small memory quilt picture posted on Pictures and will add more pics when my daughter and I figure out why we can't add any more.
