Yesterday's post was using the remnant pieces that were too small to make much. Today's post is about using good-sized remnant pieces.
Yes, I made a crazy quilt. I have always been intimidated by the thoughts of making a quilt. The quilts I have seen are all so beautifully calculated to orchestrate the colours and shapes into a cohesive useable art piece for home. The stitches are perfect, and the pieces line up just so beautifully. So, I never even attempted making one. However, at some point, my friend mentioned the existence of crazy quilts.
I searched crazy quilts online, and I found out it is a free form of quilting. I had to try it out with all the remnants I had accumulated up to that point that were large enough. I didn't even think about what the final picture will be - I just put the pieces together until it was large enough to be a blanket. I learned a lot of things along the way, and it was fun.
See how crazy it looks?
