Challenge 5 of Project Quilting is themed on the historical crazy quilt concept. These quilts were for decoration instead of being used as bed coverings. They featured rich, luscious fine fabrics with fancy stitching, and other embellishments. This is my project, a 10" square candle mat. The fabrics are from Barbara Brackman's exquisite collection
Earthly Paradise, which I won a few years ago. 'Already made a rail fence quilt and a braided table runner, so these remnants worked perfectly for this project. A machine-sewn feather stitch of mustard-colored thread was used on all of the patchwork seams. Sending thanks Kim for this fun and really educational Challenge!

I never realized crazy quilts were not used. Love your take on it. Janice
Nicely done - the fabrics give it such a nice look!
Very lovely and it is good that you were able to use some leftover fabric to match your quilt!
Those beautiful scraps were enhanced by your decorative stitching and combined, they made for a lovely challenge entry, Danice!
what fun! Love your creation ;) Thanks for joining in the PQ fun!
