One Last Set of Jump Start Fabric Packs

My husband suggested I make up a few more packs for my upcoming lecture tomorrow, just in case there are a lot of ladies there and there is a bigger demand than I've anticipated....it would be disappointing if there weren't enough for everyone who wants one.
I am thinking of these almost like party favors!
Anyway, I made a set of 8 more, all alike to save time. Whatever does not sell will eventually go on a website that is in the mulling over stage...stay tuned...

That floral is a vintage Waverly home decorator fabric that I snagged off Ebay several years ago. Fortunately I bought a big enough chunk to spare some!

Sample Block, More Added



I just can't leave well enough alone here...!
But I had the idea that I could use the little leftover scraps from piecing my Jump Start Fabric Pack block...I wanted to show a few things: that sane quilting techniques can be incorporated into crazy quilting, too; in this case, fusing and machine applique. Using the piecing fabrics this way adds additional harmony to the block. Trim can be treated like fabric, not just used in a line. And yes, you can add elements by machine, placing them between patches and over hand-work, too!
I think it is important for Newbies especially to get the message that anything and everything is fair game in crazy quilting.
I could keep going on the block but I really must stop!
