    I think that is a great idea Krystyna, and it gives me time to perfect my crazy style for next year. I am an 'amateur' compared to some of the gorgeous quilts that have been shown this month.

    Moonrise, beautiful and the dragonfly was awesome!
    Sulabug, what a delightful rainbow crazy!

    While we might have designated May as crazy quilt month, don't forget to get your AAQI quilts in to LeslieFrost! I need to finish mine fast!

    QuiltingKrazy, thank you for posting all of the individual photos of each richly embellished square of your gorgeous crazy quilt.

    Sulabug, outstanding!! Each square is a like a class in how to embellish. You set the bar really high.

    Oh Wow! I love all of the quilts that have come in! The embellishment on these is just astounding! I hope we can add all of the quilts to the gallery in the group so we can easily view them all over and over again!

    I received my DQ from DebbyG yesterday! I had such a fun month with Debby, this group is filled with some really wonderful women!

    Here is the quilt from Debby - I love the colors, the style, the quilting! The quilting is amazing! and she sent along some really cool goodies! She sent some nippers, an Amish crazy quilt pattern and a mini paper piece pattern! Thank you so much Debby! and Thank you Krystyna for setting this up!

    Now on to the pics!

    This isn't a doll quilt, but I wanted to share it because it has been influenced and inspired by the doll quilt swaps! This is the quilt I made for my guild's quilt challenge in June. The theme is 2 color quilts ...having just done this in April in the DQ swap, I used the same palette I used for Almonds quilt and also used the same folded flowers I used in Almonds quilt. I was thinking of trying a scalloped edge, since I had never done one before and then I saw Moonrise's binding treatment on her crazy quilt!!!! I had to try it, since it mirrored the cathedral windows! I hand sewed the folds to match the windows and I love how it came out! I am think about adding some embroidery embellishment in the binding - seeing all of the incredible embroidery this month I want to try more!!!!

    I hope people don't mind me sharing a non-swap quilt, but I am really excited by how much this group is influencing and inspiring my quilts!
