"Crazy Eights" Quilt Is Completed
I made this "Crazy Eights" quilt from my never diminishing bucket of 2 1/2" squares. The pattern came from Fons and Porter's Favorite Quilts, Summer 2014, designed by Debra Finan. I quilted it with straight diagonal lines. The back is made from 8 1/2" wide strips of beige/cream/tan fabrics. I call this method a "poor man's backing". It's a good way to use up odds and ends.
