Crazy Quilt

31 05 2014

This crazy quilt evolved over many years,  as I kept adding embroidery, beading, buttons, and bows, braid, lace, and charms.  The panels were done as individual twelve-inch blocks, and it was hard to finally stop, deciding when “enough” was “enough”.  That’s the thing about crazy quilts!  I decided to join the blocks with dark green grosgrain ribbon, and back it with black velvet.  It is now a wall hanging.

A long labor of love.
