HI Jeannie. Hey, no fair teasing us with the 'unusual things happening' statement. Give, girl. What's up?
OK, I am a quilter. A crazy quilt is just that -- crazy. It has no pattern. You just cut pieces of material into any shape you want, then sew them together. Keep doing that until it gets as big as you want it. Then cut the sides even so you don't have any strange shapes hanging out.
Many quilters sew their shapes until they have about 10 or 12 inches then cut them into squares, and then sew those squares together.
For the traditional crazy quilt, the ladies would embroider over all the seams, using a lot of different fancy embroidery stitches. Like this:
This embroidery is done using the fancy stitches on your sewing machine.
The traditional method is to use squares of muslin, then sew your shapes onto these squares.
If you google "How To Make A Crazy Quilt", you will get tons of sites that give you instructions.
