I often get emails that ask basic questions about crazy quilting and how to go about it. Another landed in my inbox yesterday. I thought I would post links to resources online that answer many of the basics today. In response to questions on what my process was I ran a series of posts that covered many of the main steps is developing a crazy quilt block. In order they are:
Sourcing Crazy quilting materials
A response to questions about design in Crazy Quilting
Tips for Crazy quilting seam embellishment
Transferring designs to fabric
Crazy quilt embellishment with Silk Ribbon
Brazilian embroidery in Crazy Quilting
Raised embroidery in Crazy Quilting
Embellishing crazy quilt blocks
During the assembly of the Katrina All that Jazz Quilts Annie of Annies Crazy World meticulously assembled the quilts and blogged in detai, the process. For anyone who wants to know about assembling a crazy quilt this series gives a detailed blow by blow demonstration on how it was done.
The perma links in order:
Part 1- Assembling a crazy quilt
Part 2 – Trimming blocks to size
Part 3 – How to square a block
Part 4 – How to stitch the blocks together
Part 5 – Joining pairs of blocks together
ONE – the conclusion to part 5
Part 7 – More about attaching borders
Part 10 – preparing the quilt for adding the real backing
Another resource that is not to be missed is CQ Mag Online as it is an ezine produced and maintained by the crazy quilt online community. I also put together this list of crazy quilting resources online that are worth browsing. It’s always worth browsing the posts in the crazy quilting category for general tips and leads to other sites of interest to crazy quilters and other crazy quilters online.
I hope this list helps anyone who is embarking upon a crazy quilt or a crazy quilted project.
