Crazy Quilt Journal Project...top done!

There is an online crazy quilt project being done this year....each month you make a crazy quilt block and submit it online. i am done early....and, of course, i had to be an over-achiever and made 9 blocks each month. one was extensively embellished and the other 8...not so much....just seam embellishments and some buttons and beads...maybe some embroidery. i finished all the blocks for the year and pieced them all into a top....sheesh that sucker is heavy.

Set 10x11 blocks....blocks finished at 9 1/2"...so top is now 95x104 1/2".  what a quilting job that will be.

Some blocks are extensively embellished and some not so much.

This was a fun project...and although i think i won't do any more crazy quilting for a while....i do have a white/cream crazy quilt ongoing....a couple dozen blocks are already done. and i have an idea for another crazy quilt....my brain just won't stop.  anyone know how to clone themselves?....i need an assistant.

I hope to get this quilted sooner rather than...

Piecemakers calendar quilt 2002 - middle section II

And...the last installment of this quilt. the bottom of the middle section.

Did not Brenda do a fabulous job? she plans to enter it in the fair....so i hope she wins a prize. it seems like an easy win to me. i'm glad she let me help her out a bit by doing some quilting on it for her.

Here you go..

Brenda tells me a giant spider will live in this web.

Mr. snowman is pinned to the side so he doesn't come to harm in rolling.

Wish you could see this in person. my pics do not do it justice. it is mind blowing. a great years work....a tremendous job....let's hear it for Brenda.    yay!!!!

This took me all day....now i have to go rest....see you..

Piecemakers calendar quilt 2002 - middle section

Now we have the middle section of this quilt. it is as large as 4 monthly blocks. there are lots of pics, so i am doing this one in 2 entries. it is a sassafras tree and represents all 4 seasons on one tree.

First the top...

Little fuzzy nest

Spider awaiting his prey

Gotta love watermelon

More of the fuzzy flowers that i love. Brenda says she incorporated things into this middle block that were in the monthly blocks.....so things match.

One more entry to go....for the bottom half of this block.

Cheeky little racoon

Sweet cardinal

This largish piece was glued on and i worried about it surviving the rolling of the quilt....but no problem.

This candle is pinned sideways so it wouldn't get damaged in the rolling.
