Although I think most Crackpots have seen this quilt, or at least the top, in progress, and I’m pretty sure I e-mailed everyone with photos when I had finished the top, it has not yet shown up on the blog, so here it is. It was lots of fun to make, since I really only had a pattern for the center section. After I got that much made, I decided that it wasn’t big enough, and tried lots of options for enlarging it before hitting on this one. I had hissy fits getting the large pink triangles in the 4-patch border the right size and eventually just cut them *really* big, sewed them on, and then trimmed them. Yes, Cathy, topology is hard. And of course I didn’t have quite enough of the outer border print in the right lengths, so I had to get creative with the top and bottom.
Here’s a photo of the signature Crackpot back.
As you can see, there is a label, but it is too small to read. I was about to post an enlargement of the label but then remembered our Web Mistress’s cautionery words about internet privacy, so I will e-mail the photo to you all instead.
