This is part of a crazy quilt project I started years and years ago. I had made abut 8 of these blocks, intending to do the seams with the embroidery stitches on my machine. After I had done most of the stitches, I didn't like the feel so I painstakingly unpicked them and dismantled the quilt.
I went to Fabricland and bought fabrics which contained blue and other colours and made separate crazy quilt blocks, using the additional colours in the borders to inform my embellishment colour choices.
While searching for something in my stash, I cam across this unfinished block. I also came across a sleeveless cotton blouse Inbal had left behind. I decided to make a shidduch.
I will now (starting December 15, 2024) embellish with some of the below.
December 19, 2024 - Finished (with triangle corners on back for hanging).
I really enjoyed this one, auditioning the reds, blues and beige/peaches. The fabrics are mostly from wedding dresses and the findings I have accumulated along the way. I find that I really like embellished crazy quilt. Shaking hands, however, do not make for easy needle threading.
