How to Make and Embellish Crazy Patchwork Blocks with Lynda Faires
(Show 2003) Lynda Faires takes Crazy Quilting to a whole new level with beautiful fabrics and machine stitches. Using Dupioni silk, Lynda shares her method for avoiding awkward corners or Y-seams when creating a crazy patchwork block. The magic happens when luscious threads, Rick Rack, and ribbons are combined along with machine stitches to create interest and depth. Lynda says the results are simply stunning and achievable by any quilter. Alex takes the guesswork out of selecting fabrics by using a color wheel tool.
