Well, since I've already admitted that I don't know how to do Crazy Quilt seams...but am trying...I will show you my crazy quilt art block, contributed to a dear cyber friend in a block swap.
You will note that it does not have any finished seams...that's because I didn't know how to do them. So glad that my friend gave me complete license to use my imagination and create this fairy wonder world. Very few embroidery stitches were used, and all are very basic...french knot, straight, daisy, and fishbone. I did simple spider-web roses and iris in silk ribbon (really, you don't get any easier than these).
I was very happy with the composition and the theme carries well, I think. Especially for my very first full-size (12 inches) crazy quilt block. My friend seems happy to be the owner now...and that is all I was hoping for.

This block is so incredible, i have never seen a block like this, i am used to the CQ blocks and this is so different and beautiful! I'd be happy if you got my name next time! ;)
Beautiful! I love the path going down the garden!
I thought I commented on the is block before. Um, maybe I did on the message board. Well it deserves another comment. It is beautiful. You look all over and things just pop out. The little fairy in the corner, the little angel/fairy behind the flowers and the cute cat. Gorgeous!
It's very pretty. Seams aren't everything. =) You did a beautiful job on it.
