You will need:

muslin & calico... click here for yardages
This is my personal favorite quilt pattern ...ACH ...what a misnomer! There isn't really a pattern, it's just a way of doing patchwork.... AND what a great quilt to work on in the Fall!! ...all the colors! ...not to mention using up all those scraps!! Please abide by the Terms and Conditions of use! :o)

**Constructing the Block**

Unlike other quilts we have done so far, a "Crazy Quilt" is worked over a background square. I recommend a good quality Muslin for this. For a single Block, you will need a 12½"Square. click at left for twin/full/queen/king sized quilts. You can adapt them easily by adding or subtracting rows of blocks...

The instructions and pattern here, therefore, are for you to learn the  METHOD of crazy quilting ....I show a pattern simply for illustration purposes ...you won't need a pattern once you get the hang of it!

Cut your muslin into the correct number of 12-1/2" squares...

 

 

First, lay on and pin a first piece...right side up...if you like...you may baste it around the outside edges, but within a 1/4" seam allowance...
