Crazy Quilt or Traditional Block Quilt?


I’m 20 and I’m going to make my very first quilt. I have dreamt about doing one for years now. I cannot decide which type of quilt to make. Which do you think will be easier for a beginner? The type of block quilt I want to make is without a pattern and with unique materials, not one block the same. Is quilting easier than it looks too?

Crazy quilts were immensely popular in the late 1800′s as a way of showing off women’s needlework skills. They are heavily embellished with embroidery, lace, buttons, etc. Crazy quilts are not as easy as they may appear. It requires real planning to assemble crazy quilt blocks. Instead, I’d recommend starting with something a little easier. It doesn’t have to be a traditional block, but you could incorporate the freeform appearance of crazy quilts with the modern fabrics and styles of today’s quilts.
