I have gotten my March crazy quilt section together. this is the one i warned you about....you might need sunglasses...it's red.
I'm having a good time with these sections. it uses a lot of scraps....and also creates a lot of smaller scraps. sigh!!
Here are all the individual blocks....left to right....top to bottom. i had a piece of dark purple large fringe...so it had to go in the corner. the piece on the right that has green, light purple and orange is a silk tie. and there is a bit of purple trim to the right of that.
This has some little red picot trim in the top left corner and a piece of white lace with red flowers on the bottom right. the bottom left orange piece is almost like a shag carpet..LOL..it came from a child's sweater found in a thrift store...and the darker piece in the middle is a corduroy. i love the gold piece in the middle. that bright red and white piece might be out of place but i figure it will get lost in the whole quilt...i hope.
This one has a bit of red rickrack in the top right corner and a piece of red lace doily in the bottom right. more of that gold floral in the middle. the orange and red stripe next to the gold is a flannel. and the bottom left corner got some red lace. all the laces were dyed to go into this quilt.
The pink piece in the middle is silk. there are brown trims in the top right corner and left corner. the bottom left corner has a marroon and light blue trim but it is kind of hard to see. it is next to the marroon corduroy.
And this is the middle that i have shown you earlier. i did add a piece of marroon fabric over some of the corner on the top left...it seemed too large and bright. and then i added a piece of red doily over it.
This one didn't get much trim...just a wide piece of red lace at the bottom left. that little yellowish gold piece in the middle has a spider web with spiders on it....but unfortunately it was a small piece so doesn't show up a lot. the gold next to that is an upholstery fabric that is kind of velour. feels good. LOL
The top left here has a stretchy brown ruffle with variegated crochet on the end. and a bronze color trim down the right side and more red lace on the bottom left. and another piece of that bright red and white.
This one has a red and green stripe ribbon on the top left. toward the bottom in the middle, just above the three leaves is a piece of orange netting. inside of it i placed a bunch of white beads. i closed the opening with the 3 flocked leaves. the orange and red geometric on the right is an upholstery fabric. i like the red flower in the middle on the orange background...that piece is in this section 2 or 3 times.
That brown and white dot is a fuzzy piece of something. LOL i found a child's coat in a thrift store and cut it up. it is soft and nice to feel. more red lace at the bottom and red trim in the top right corner. the yellow bisecting the piece about the middle is a narrow ribbon.
And there you have it....my March section of the crazy quilt journal project. i was a bit concerned that i wouldn't have enough reds but it turned out ok once i added orange and some pink and brown.
My April block is going to be green.....at least a bit calmer. LOL
I have almost given up piecing traditional quilts. the crazy quilt blocks and selvages just talk to me more....in fact they scream at me.
Gotta go quilt now....talk to ya
Later
