Basic Crazy Quilt Class

This is the model for the class block.
For this month's Friday Night Sew In, I decided to work on a small project for a free online Basic Crazy Quilt class. It isn't the greatest timing given how much work I have into the Snake River log cabin quilt, but I'll have to get back to it soon. This is just a bit of a crazy detour.

I am winging this block a bit as I don't have the embroidery templates, but I'm treating this as a learning project and if I decide this is a style I'm interested in pursuing, I'll invest in more tools. 











Or I may just decide to start finishing the seams with my fancy sewing machine stitches. I found this really beautiful design that I may decide to try, though since I don't have that exact machine I would have to improvise with stitches my machine does have.

Anyway, thanks for dropping in. If you'd like to see what everyone else was up to for the Friday Night Sew In, drop by Wendy's blog.

    Interesting to see that you are using machine stitches for your embellishment. I must go and have a look at your link. xx

      This block I actually did with hand-stitches, as the instructor requires. But I am thinking about trying that other machine-sewn crazy quilt project.

      Yeah, me too. I'm excited now to make a lap quilt after I finish the class project. I ordered some templates so the embroidery will be easier, but now I have to wait for them (impatiently).

    That looks so pretty, crazy patch looks like such a fun way to use scraps of fabric and play with embroidery. It will be interesting to see how yours goes!
