Over the past couple of weekends I assembled my 56 crazy quilt blocks into a quilt top. These are the blocks I pieced last summer of 2008. After I had made a few blocks last summer I decided to keep all the fabrics in medium to dark fancy fabrics. (I have another set of blocks I made that are all light to medium blocks.)
All the seams of the blocks are embellished with hand embroidery stitches using black, gold, red and burgandy vintage silk button hole twist. The bed in this pictures is a queen size and the blocks just cover the top. I am going to hand stitch a fly stitch over all the seams of the quilt top where all the blocks were sewn together using the burgandy silk button hole twist. The picture above with the hoop is where I've began stitching the seams of the pieced quilt top.
The binding of the quilt will be burgandy. This quilt top will probally be hand tied when its put together.
