    Repeat after me - "No one will know there is anything wrong with it if I don't tell them."

    You made a great quilt. I love the occasional sunflowers in the green. They really brighten it up.

    Where did you get the pattern?

    It may be krazy but it looks great.

    This is really pretty. I love crazy quilts. The colors are great. Are you going to tie it or quilt it?

    And now the fun question - are you going to embroider over the seams? You could pick up some of the color from the sunflowers and spread it around.

    Stitching in the ditch is a form of quilting it. There are a lot of things on youtube on crazy quilting. Some people embroider designs and stitch appliques and stuff on them. With something like your quilt, the trick would be to do a little on each block, instead of trying to do a lot on one block and then going on to the next one. That way if you hated doing it, you could stop and it would look like that was the way you had planned it to be.

    This lady has a wonderful crazy quilt site.
    http://www.pintangle.com/journal/cat...-quilt-details
    if you go down the page you'll see a batch of numbers, those are all links to different blocks. but if you take a peek you'll see that you can add ribbon, lace, buttons, appliques or maybe your name and a date on a block and it all totals up to make the quilt uniquely yours.

    Cris....

    I think your uptake on your quilt is a hoot.
    I love the colors and the flowers bring out the greens.
    Good job..
