Our local patchwork club, Charters Towers Patchwork and Quilters, makes a quilt or some gift for each of our members when they reach the age of 70. This lovely crazy patchwork quilt was made for Celie Moller. Several of our members were given two small pieces of fabric and asked to make a 6" crazy patchwork block using other jewell colours and to richly embelish it.
We received 32 blocks back and I made up the quilt with 6 rows of 5 blocks and sashed and bound it with black velvet.
As we had two blocks over I made the label using my block at the top and the other one at the other end of the the embroidered panel of names of the makers of the blocks.
I made the binding by joining several 2.5" strips of similar jewell fabrics - cross cut the strips at 2.5" and joined the strips to make the length required to do the binding.
It was so lovely - I really didn't want to hand it over straight away. But I am sure Celie also love it.
