This week\u2019s entry in Project Quilting<\/a> was inspired by a particular quilt called \u201eThe Crazy Quilt\u201d. You can read about the history of its formation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is something completely new for me. I have never had the opportunity to sew a quilt like this before. To be honest, I think it scares me a little. Maybe because I don\u2019t really like working with fabrics other than cotton, or maybe because of the complete and utter chaos that occurs in these quilts. I really admire all of the people that can create these works. Their creativity and patience is amazing. The quilts are beautiful and I really like them very, very much, but it\u2019s just not my cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now. I have to face this challenge head-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was very difficult for me to find the right fabrics that would be suitable to create a \u201ecrazy quilt.\u201d Cotton reings supreme in my home. A long time ago I received samples of some suede imitation pieces that ended up saving me.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hurray! I was able to complete my challenge. I decided to use them to make a bookmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found an appropriate block in the Electric Quilt 8 digital library, printed it out several times, and cut them out. Before gluing, I turned the blocks in differect directions to give off the impression that each one is different. I then glued them all together. The pattern for my bookmark was ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I prepared a strip of double-sided, non-woven fabric and glued a piece of cotton fabric to it. I removed the paper and fastened it with pins to the previously prepared pattern. Thanks to the layer of interlining on top, the cut pieces couldn\u2019t move around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then started cutting out all the individual pieces from the lining.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I arranged them on the fusible interfacing, one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In each block section I changed the color of the copied pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t plan on sewing them with a sewing machine, everything was supposed to be done by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first stage is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turned out very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now for the most difficult part, playing around with decorating it. For this I used a colorful mouline from DMC, (I had some left-overs from the time when I did embroidery) and beads that I had purchased recently that I used to create the \u201eCoral Fantasy.\u201d You can read about it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In beginning I wanted to machine the bookmark with a zigzag stitch and finish it like this, but I decided that since everything is being done by hand, then the finishing must also be done manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finished. I like it. Who knows, maybe I\u2019ll try this again someday, I just need to get rid of the rabbits first. Fur is everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n
