Free Crazy quilt block patterns
In the process of documenting the seam decorations on this quilt, as I get to each block I am diagramming it out for readers as a free crazy quilt pattern. Links to these free pattern pages are listed on the CQ details FAQ page.
Thank you, thank you. I have enjoyed the beautiful eye candy of the I dropped the button box quilt. It will be so nice to have each block highlighted and explained. I love your site, and will enjoy each segment as you post it. I love that you will be explaining each stitch. Thanks again. Suzie
