Crazy Quilts
Crazy quilts became popular during the late 1800's. To make a crazy quilt, quilters sew pieces of fabric onto a plain unmarked foundation. Fancy stitching and embellishments are commonly used between patches. Velvets, satins and other lush fabrics are favorites, but crazy quilts can be made from any fabric you choose.
