C.R.A.F.T. #58: Crazy Quilt

August 28, 2010 By Jamie Dorobek 7 Comments

My good friend Tori made these gorgeous patch work pillows…
they reminded me of my crazy quilt I made in high school…
 
A crazy quilt can mean a lot of things…I made one because  my wonderful canasta partner worked in an architecture office where they had LOTS and LOTS of fabric samples…one day, he saw these being thrown away…and he brought me home
4 garage bags of fabric samples!! I was H A P P Y 🙂
This quilt cost n o t h i n g !!! 
Materials: fabric scraps, a queen size sheet, serger, pins, 
sewing machine, and LOTS of patience!
This is the first “quilt” I ever made!
First, Pick a color palate…I choose nature neutral!
 
Second, Decide if you want a pattern. I decided I did NOT want a pattern…which made this part simple 🙂
 
Third, If you are using old fabric samples…most likely your edges are already serged…if not, I would serge them…at least for me and my no pattern…I had NO idea what fabric was going to end up where!
 
Fourth, pick a corner of your sheet and start sewing on the scraps! The back will not look pretty:
 
Fifth, cover your entire sheet with fabric. Now, decide how to finish your quilt.
 
Last,I decided to just finish it with a border and leave the back c r a z y ! 
It was fun to make…if you like precision…this is not for you 🙂
I tried to make my mom use my crazy quilt as the guess bedroom bedspread in high school…
 
 
I’ve thought about making it a duvet cover so the ugly back did not show.
as always, if you have questions…e-mail me: [email protected]

    I found a crazy quilt at a garage sale for $10 and have been dying to know how it was done ever since.

    It's so simple I should have guessed!

    Thanks 🙂

    They wanted to throw all this fabrics away? My heart is bleeding! I love the quilts you make out of them but I also love a lot of the fabrics itself. How many projects one could do with them…! Really cool that your friend thought of you seeing the samples 🙂
