I don't have the backing on yet and may wait a bit on that part, but here is the top.
There is no hand or machine embroidery at all in this project (although I did sneak one M & S Schmalberg butterfly into the center block with machine applique.) The Pretty Crazy pattern is supposed to give you any option you want for approaching your crazy quilt, especially for newbies.
I would love it if you all gave this a try so I can see what you do with it!

Hi Allie!
I've been MIA for about 2 months traveling to CA and TX but am so happy to finally be home. Look what happens when I go away - you create another beauty. I love this pretty just the way it is!
Now to get back to my blogging and sewing .... my fingers are getting itchy!
Hugs!
Having been with you for a few years now, I can legitimately claim that you are truly a master now of piecing a crazy quilt...blending colors beautifully to give a unified composition when viewed from far away. I know this was something that challenged you when you moved from Crazy for Flowers to Spring CQ...but the more of these quickie quilts you do...the more I can see how that piecing mastery have become second nature to you...you probably don't even think about it too much anymore.
Mastery.
Love, Grasshopper.
This is a great technique for smaller CQ projects as well, like pillows , purses etc!! I am going to try it for a bag that I am going to make for myself with my own surface designed fabrics- sort of a ultra modern take on CQ! I will keep you informed!!!
I love all of the pops of red in this piece!!! That little floral trim that you said was Simplicity- where can I get some????
I totally agree with our dear friend Grasshopper!~!!
I like the little touches of pink that pop out at you. Very nice job Allie.
Hugs
