Wild West Crazy
An assortment of bandana handkerchiefs in red, white and blue was the inspiration for my first full crazy quilt (2008). A few of the red bandanas belonged to my father and others I picked-up on various travels. So not only was this my first crazy quilt but it is very sentimental. The squares were decorated in lace, vintage and new, buttons, ribbons, some embroidery, rick-rack and yo-yos. I did not use a lot of embellishment on this piece because I thought I might put it on a bed. Once I finished it I decided it was only going on the wall as it was to special for daily use.
10.5" X 11". The batting is 80/20. The quilt is tied with white ribbons as well as some machine quilting. A blue chambray was used for the backing.
Happy 4th of July to all my US followers!
Happy a wonderful day everyone!
