A Crazy Winter

It is time for me to give crazy-quilting a try, so I joined in with Carli at Good Earth Quilting and will be making a crazy-quilted wallhanging along with several others.  The theme of the wallhanging is the four seasons. I started with winter. 

I have my first block sewn up and ready for stitchery and embellishment.  For the centre, I used a little piece of a favourite snowflake fabric cut in a hexagon shape.  I wish now that I would have used a larger shape as the snowflake doesnt show so well.   I surrounded that hexagon with quilting cottons, a batik and a solid all in my favourite colour, turquoise.  That colour reminds me of all the ice we had so far this winter.  Then I used some special fabrics from other projects. A polyester blouse, a piece of bridal satin, some cotton lace edging and a gold painted sheer fabric. From there, more cotton scraps and a beautiful turquoise satin from a scrap bag from a friend.  Everything in my block is a leftover from another project.  Such fun to make.  Now to get to the hand stitching.

Hope you are having a quilty day.
