first block


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


No - there is nothing special about me that I am able to participate; I jumped on the opportunity to register, and lo and behold here I am!

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

  1. Cool blocks!

    Happy 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!

    1. Yes! 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 :)

  3. My 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.

  4. There are no rules in CQ, so no one can say that this block doesn't look like a CQ block ;)
    Congratulations on your first finished block.
