This treasure was found at the Brimfield Antique Show & Flea Market this year. I'm planning to make a giant pillow as a Christmas gift this year. The back will be a beautiful paisley tapestry fabric left over from a cushion I covered a few years ago.
This crazy quilt square is one of several. My daughter in law , Janel, who is also a quilter / crafter, has the other half of the set. All hand stitched. If you click on the picture you'll get much better detail. Whomever made these had an incredible talent! I haven't decided what to do with them yet, so any suggestions would be welcome........I keep taking them out and staring at them and rearranging them, they are so magnificent!
I love that you woke up at 5:00 am to sew!! That is so inspiring :) i wish we could be quilting together!!! I am so excited to see what you do with your crazy quilt squares :) I can't wait!!! Did you see my quilt journal on my blog?
ReplyDeleteYes!! And I love it!! I'm so gonna copy cat your idea. I never thought of just making my own....great idea! You're so right that the other one is too small to do our quilting any justice.
ReplyDeleteI think the crazy pieced blocks are just meant to be looked at and loved. Kind of like old pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou may be right Wanda. It will have to be a special project to warrant using these for.
ReplyDeletei looooove the snowflake fabrics momma... They are fantabulous! I need a new tote I think :) Or a quilted jacket for my bear hehe
