Crazy Quilts Quilting Crafts

Crazy Quilts

Crazy Quilts were the Victorian needlewoman's scrapbook. All her memories and mementos were put into fabric and thread and treasured for generations to come. Modern crazy quilts are often made of scrap fabrics, often cotten rather than the elegant fabric scraps that were once used by the Victorian needlewomen.
