I have begun the challenge of making a crazy quilt block each month for this year, 2013. I have never made a crazy quilt block before, and did not even know what a crazy quilt was...
so I did a bit of research, and then jumped in
Having fought the urge to redo the entire block, I have posted this up and can move on to the next block. This first block does not really look like a crazy quilt block (from what I can tell from looking at other CQ blocks) but I am learning. Everyone starts somewhere, right?! :D might as well start right where you are -
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
john 6:29
Cool blocks!
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting!
I thought of you the other day... I made some fur bunny appliques to list on Artfire and I thought "OK Kippy slide in the bag" I laughed out loud when I thought that! LOL
{{hugs}}
Hope you are doing great!

a good block Kippy, so we are both new to this crazy world, think we are enjoying it . do like tat you have put a Bible quote in it, I hope to use one on one of my blocks too
ReplyDeleteYes! thank you Margaret! I am understanding how it helped you to have all the blocks done at once, and then setting about embellishing - I my try to do that as well :)
DeleteMy Mothers definition of a crazy block was using up odd shaped bits of fabric mixing and matching different textures weights and embellishing the seams and some of the larger plain fabric. So I think it is what you want it to be. I love every ones as we all have our own interpretation on things. Yours is fabulous. Well done.
ReplyDeletethank you Pippa! your definition (from Mom) is what I thought - I like that definition :) thank you very much!
DeleteThere are no rules in CQ, so no one can say that this block doesn't look like a CQ block ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your first finished block.
