Here's a crazy quilt block featuring one of my favorite postcards from my personal collection. It's FF111 from my
Vintage Postcard CD.
Print the
block directly onto
computer printer fabric with your inkjet printer, then use it as the foundation for your crazy quilt block with the center image already in place.
To use this foundation pattern, align the edge of your fabric with the dotted line and sew on the straight line. Flip the fabric over and press toward the dotted line.
Stitch two pieces of fabric together (1-1, 1-2 and 2-1, 2-2 and 3-1, 3-2). Treat as one piece of fabric for 1, 2 and 3. Stitch two pieces of fabric together (4-1, 4-2 and 4-3, 4-4) then sew those two pieces together. Treat as one piece of fabric for 4.
Piece the block, then embellish it with
threads, trims, ribbons and beads.
This block is for my friend, Diane Haigh. Last year when I needed help during my husband's illness, Diane was always there with friendship, information and support. She is an invaluable friend to me.
Thank you, Diane. I will always remember your kindness and caring.
