    Crazy Quilt 4 square Practice Block

    This is a current project I am working on. I have always wanted to make a crazy quilt and I am learning to now. I went out and quickly bought some fabric pieces to make these. I made the best of what I could find without spending too much time for a practice block. I am taking a class on Craftsy. This is going to be a four square block and for each square we learn a different way to sew the pieces. The one on the left is made with straight edge pieces and the one on the right is a curved edged. The other two will be curved edge as well but two different ways to do it. After I get them done, we then embellish with embellishments items and will use embroidery thread and learn different stitches. All I have so far is what is laying above the blocks but I have more to get.

    I cannot wait to get to the embellishments and learning the different stitches!

    After all four squares are completed (with embellishments added), I then sew them together to make a four square block and then put an edging around it. I may frame it if it comes out ok.

              It may give people the idea that I'm bright and cheerful all the time....

                  Thank you Bob! Yes, if it turns out well, I am going to hang it or maybe put it in a frame.

                        Thank you! I can't wait for the embillishment either! I do love the rich jewel tones. Although, I love all kinds of colors and looks.

                          Thank you! I tend to gravitate to curves too! I think I am gaining a liking for some straight lined angeled looks as well...like the New York Beauty. That is funny regarding "what number" the crazy quilt is on your list. I am a newbie and I am already starting to do that!
