I've always loved crazy quilts, because they say so much about the person who made them. You can put so many little details into them and the colors and embroidery can really reflect what you like. I've seen some amazing ones in antique stores, but they're always either very old and worn or very expensive. I've only made three small quilts. Two were wall hangings, and one a baby quilt. But I've always wanted to make a bed quilt. So my goal is to have the top of this quilt finished by 2015. Not necessarily the embroidery... we'll see when we get there. (I've also been inspired by Kelsie's new quilt)
I've made 9 blocks so far, and I have 21 to go!
Please tell me this block looks like a tree... It didn't turn out as well as I hoped. But I'm going to outline it more with the embroidery.
this block is supposed to resemble a grassy hill with blue sky behind it. I plan to embroider houses (from my books) on it :D

The color scheme of this block revolved around this fabric. I love it!
And this block was inspired by my obsession with the Wizard of Oz.
I'm looking forward to when I can do the embroidery, because I suspect that will be the best part... I'll be posting quilting updates and pictures of new blocks that I make,
Thanks for reading <3
