Crazy with Cotton
Victorian "crazy quilts" are usually associated with luxurious fabrics such as velvets and silks; cotton crazy quilts came later and their history has not been well documented. This work is about having a good time making story or theme quilts using the crazy-quilt technique and picture fabrics. Theme ideas include dinosaurs, sports, hobbies, animals, weddings, birthdays, children, and even a flower fantasy replete with floral prints. The idea is to collect fabrics depicting your subject and to create a unique quilt. Leone leads the reader step-by-step through the process, from choosing the fabric to labeling the quilt. She also includes a section on using this technique to get children interested in quilting.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
