How to make a Crazy Quilt

This is a great quilt to make for beginners. You can use any fabric you want so long as it is all of similar weight and type. (example, use all denim, dont mix denim with stretch velvet or thin polyester) The recommended fabric for most quilts is 100% cotton, which can be either hand dyed batik fabric, or just cartoon cotton prints.

@richfincm It's a Kenmore Ultrastitch 12. Its a much older machine. Its circa 1975-ish? She had to get her tension replaced, but she's a good ol' machine. I've been slowly sprucing her up with stickers and bindi gems. If you want suggestions on machines, just send me a message and I can send suggestions.

What brand and model machine is that? Looks like a nice one. Nice crazy quilt, too. Thanks. :)

@MEStephKJV I think thats something I might have to try as my next project, after the hexagon and selvedge quilts I'm working on

This is a neat technique. The lack of perfection needed to accomplish something that looks nice makes it good for anyone, really. I like it because I love to use up all the little bits and pieces. :-)

If you want a neater look try doing this basic method onto foundation pieces which you can later join by whatever method you like. I've done both strips and squares on lightweight muslin. They turned out quite well, though I've not finished the quilt. :-/

@gothictany73 My kitty is a brat. She bites me for attention when Im on the phone, and hogs the camera when Im trying to do videos.

This was so great and I enjoyed watching you cut the pieces and the way you explain everything is so clear! Plus I love how fun you make it look! :)

I love your KittyCat too! Yay for the love of Black Kittys!!! oxox
