This is a close up of one of the blocks. The fancy stitching is all done with yarn and the whole quilt is 'tied'.

Auction Find

I found this quilt at the auction the other night and decided I had to have it. I have always been intrigued by the crazy quilts . I have not made one yet myself and I don't own any others. This one is pieced (appliqued curved) with mainly flannels and wools with some cottons. The cotton prints look very old and I do not believe them to be reproduction. The batting is strange and I am guessing it's wool. I would not call the batting lumpy but it has thick and thin spots and the quilt is extremely heavy for it's size.
