the original crazy quilt

The whole quilt...almost.

Some pictures to show the amazing details.

There is a feather stitch and a flower stitch in this pic.

Just look at all of the different stitches in this one pic.

The orange block has a flower stitch at the base of it.

A better pic. of the flower stitch.

My mother inherited a crazy quilt from her grandmother Runkle. I remember looking at it as a child and seeing the different embroidery stitches, and wondering how they were done. It intrigued me that you can take different shaped pieces of fabric, and stitch them together and make a beautiful quilt out of them. So I wanted to share pictures of where my inspiration came from to make my own crazy quilt.
