Hello! This crazy quilt design was inspired by a crazy quilt my Great-Great-Great-Grandmother "Mam" and her daughter Josy created from 1900 to1902.
Josy's granddaughter, my Grandma June, divided up the quilt and framed
the pieces for her children and grandchildren along with photos of the
original creators and two successive generations of daughters. A family
heirloom to be sure. I got to thinking about how it would make a
wonderful scrapbook paper, or junk journal page. Being an artist myself,
I decided to create this piece inspired by the crazy quilt, its
stitches, and embroidery. I have also included the original completion
date of "1902" and my initials (AP) for posterity. I hope you like
these, and they can add some nostalgia to your own sentimental projects. You can purchase and download the
files in my Etsy shop or amyperrotti.com

Above are photos of crafts I made with the Crazy Quilt design layouts. The first is a Junk Journal page I made with one of the 8.5" x 11" landscape
(horizontal) layouts as a background (it only took half a sheet). The
second photo is a tin I upcycled with one of the vertical layouts. The
third photo is two 4" x 5" note cards I made with an 8" x 10" layout
(cut in half and then folded in half). The fourth photo is a small gift I
wrapped with another 8.5" x 11" layout. I printed the layouts on Vellum Bristol Premium cardstock because it has a texture that gives the
design a fabric like look, which worked well with the crazy quilt
design. You can read more about my Crazy Quilt printable in my Etsy shop and at amyperrotti.com
