I found this great pattern tutorial over at
Oh Fransson
I fell in love with the pattern and just had
to make one.
This quilt is for sale at my Etsy SHOP(click here)
I hope that you will visit.
Crazy nine patch
Because the name is "Crazy" - I thought that
I would use the left over scraps to make a
"Crazy" border.
It was quilted by a member of my Guild - The
Red Rose Quilters Guild - Kim Loar (long armer)
I just love the clam shell pattern and love the way
that the quilt came together.
One day while going through a
book about Amish Quilts; the thought
came to me "What if" I made traditional
Amish Patterns but used Wild and Crazy -
Bold fabrics???
So, I went through my stash looking for
the Wildest pattern I could find.
Once I found the fabrics; I had to decide
which Amish pattern to use. This is what
I choose:
Wild and Crazy Amish #1

Amish Bars - my version
I love black and white with red! And I really like the
way it came out - even though it may make your eyes cross.
I mitered the corners so that the pattern just flowed.
Wild and Crazy Amish #2

Wild and Crazy Amish #2
This is the Square in a Square Amish Pattern.
For the center square I used the The Stack and
Whack 4 patch technique.
I think that the colorful printed fabric is
Robert Kaufman's? and also the border?
But the light pink border is Lonni Rossi's -
I just love her fabric!
Again, I mitered the borders so that the pattern
just flowed. I really like the way this one came out!
These are just tops and have not been quilted yet.
Rest assured that I will probably do a Wild and Crazy
kind of quilt design for them.
I am planning to make a series of these.
I just love doing them and they're
so much fun!
