Crazy Quilting (aka Crazy Patchwork)

...used to be a means to use up what was in the scrap bin. Ladies would use all types of fabric in these patchwork blankets, and showcase their embroidery skills at the same time. The results are quite stunning! If you're unfamiliar with them, Wikipedia has a decent description, and of course, googling them will give you many images.

About This Swap:

• use a 12.5" square of fabric (your choice), and applique onto that overlapping or abbutting pieces of scrap fabric - either by hand or machine
• please use a minimum of five distinct fabrics, and if you can, try to include some different textures - pieces should be irregular in shape (i.e., no actual pattern)
• adorn your work - you can go with the traditional hand-embroidery, or choose to machine embroidery, or apply other embellishments like lace, ribbon, etc
• make two squares - one for each of two partners
