| sewing seams on crazy patch with the flip and sew method |
I just love the random and carefree way of piecing crazy patch blocks. I haven't done it for many years and I am realizing that I miss doing this style of work. As of this week I now have 3 blue crazy blocks. I think I'd like to do something special in a crazy block for each color of the month in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Wouldn't it be fabulous to have a set of blocks at the end of the year in a dozen different color ways?

I've been gathering up any Accu-Cut snowflake dies I can find around my school and at my friends home and school. Next I will check with my quilting neighbor. Yes, two lucky people I know happen to have the studio cutter by Accu-Quilt. I also have access to the smaller model at my school. I have cut about 7 wool snowflakes using 3 different dies. I don't think I'm done yet! Every place I look they have a slightly different cutter, so I'm getting plenty of variety.
I've got a busy weekend of sewing planned. I will also sew during the Packers - Bears game on Sunday. GO PACKERS!
I will make posts to update you on my blue scrap progress.

The snowflake looks nice on the blue background. You should make snowflake blocks, it will look pretty.

I like crazy patches, too. And you have nice blue fabrics.
I love crazy patches, especially in such gorgeous colors as these blues. What a fun way to spend a cold weekend, leading up to that big game! Go Packers!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm enjoying working on the scrap challenge with my sister using my paper scraps! I enjoyed scrolling through your blog and seeing some of your beautiful quilting creations.
A friend cut some of those snowflakes for me and I keep thinking I should put them on a scrappy blue wallhanging/table runner/something for this challenge. It looks great on yours.
Nice collection of gorgeous blue fabrics. I also really like crazy patches - by the end of the year you will have a very pretty colourful quilt.
I love the contrast of the snowflake on the blue. Great job!
What delicious looking blue scraps you have:) I love your idea of a rainbow crazy block quilt. Those snowflakes look so beautiful on the blue crazy block.
