No batting in a crazy quilt it is heavy enough. You can use a heaver fabric on the back.

I always seem to work myself into a space where I can go on with the machine stitching and have to stitch two sides down by hand.

Very Pretty

aw, it reminds me of my grandma, she use to do crazy quilt. Has a charm all its own.

Those are beautiful. I have some velvet from an aunt's stash, and you just gave me some ideas. :lol: :idea:

Your Christmas stocking is an absolute work of art. I'm not wild about an entire quilt done with crazy quilting ...... I don't know, just seems too "busy" for my liking. But I very much enjoy seeing small projects done in crazy quilting. Seeing what you've made tempts me to want to give it a try. However, a large part of what makes your stuff so very special is your embroidery. Marvelous!

I adore Crazy Quilting. I made myself a lovely one from many
materials, and lined it with jade poly. I had seen one in an antique
shop, it wasn't in the best of conditions, and in the end, all I would
have had was a poorly kept lap quilt for $89. So did it myself with
yard sale material!!

My then 11 year old granddaughter loved it a lot and had me teach
her so she could make herself a CQ pillow. Now an RN, she says she
still has it and is proud of the comments she gets on it.

Wow, you are very inspirational to me. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful work!! I have fabric for foundation piecing that I want to crazy quilt. I am not sure if you do the fancy stitches before or after it is quilted or, is the fancy stitches the quilting part.
