Crazy Quilting
Crazy Quilting Supplies from Evening Star DesignsEmbellishing Your Crazy Quilt

One of the most interesting qualities about a crazy quilt is the variety and assortment of fabrics used. By pairing many different scraps of fabric, the overall look is both eclectic and connected. When picking fabrics, just make sure that all the various fabric patterns work together on an aesthetic level. This doesn’t mean all the colors have to match, but they should definitely complement each other.
You should also make sure the same is true of the quilt fabric texture. By choosing a variety of textures, you can add even more detail and personality to the quilt. For this reason, many crazy quilters opt to mix items such as silk and velvet. This way, the sheen and shimmer of silk is placed directly next to the thick and luxurious look of velvet, creating both an interesting look and feel.
