  1. I have just discovered this series about the crazy quilt. I am not a quilter, but I just wanted to tell you how incredibly inspirational I find your work. Thank you for putting this online!

    I could not get the line to Block #5 to work, but I would love to see the article if you could point me to it.

    Thanks,

    Carole
