Crazy Quilt Madness
August 21st, 2010. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.At the last metting of our sewing guild, small plastic bags of fabric scraps were passed around to us with a challenge of using them to make 9″x9″ crazy quilt blocks for a charity quilt. This is what my haul looked like right after being removed from the bag.
The next picture is what I have after ironing it all.
The colors didn’t come out very true as I was taking the photos at night using the flash. Also, I need to practice a lot with my camera.
I haven’t started piecing the blocks yet, but I did spend quality time going through all my trims, laces and ribbons. I’ve decided that I might have enough scraps for four blocks, but if not, I can always add more. Right now I’m thinking that I will make a block 18″x18″ and then cut it down into four after I’m finished.
I don’t know a lot about quilting yet. This is my first venture into the quilting world. Am I being too ambitious? Should I just make four individual blocks or will the one large block work? I hope it won’t become overwhelming because of the size.
I need input from all you accomplished quilters out there, please.
