What is the story?
This regularly published series aims to illustrate and document the hand embroidered seams, embellishments and decorations on my crazy quilt I dropped the button box. All articles are categorised in the projects under Crazy Quilt details which enables readers to browse back through the series.
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.

I appreciate this post very much. I love the feel and look of Chenille, but I am always at odds on how to use it. Threading it through material always ends in disaster for me. I love good ideas for using it. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful work:)
