Crazy Quilting
Crazy Quilting is done by stitching scraps of velvets, silks, cottons, satins and
other fine fabrics onto a foundation fabric. The fabrics are various shapes.
The fabric edges are then embellished with decorative stitches, often done with
decorative threads. This technique is popular and can be used in wearable art,
home decorator projects and more.
