Crazy patchwork block is done

I have completed my block and now I am wondering what to make with it. I know there will not be any more of this design made so there won't be a quilt made. I will be searching Pinterest for ideas.


I have spent hours stitching on beads. I am going crazy and just want to keep adding them.  I have to stop. I have really enjoyed putting this block together.
So here it is... Do you think there should be any areas filled. I have to straighten the block and stitch fabric borders around it. Then I will decide if anything needs to fill the corners. I know I have gone close to some of the edges. I will deal with that as I stitch on my borders. Fingers crossed.

This is so pretty, Jo. Well done. I know what you mean about not wanting to stop when attaching beads. I get like that with parole hand quilting. I wonder what you will make with this lovely piece of sewing?

Oh wow! Very pretty. All the stitching takes a lot of time, but it was definitely worth the effort.

You have done a beautiful block Jo. Crazy is very sddictive but so very relaxing at the same time - and it gives you such a feeling of satisfaction from your own 'creativity'!!!

Your Block is beautiful Jo, I would frame it in a cream Vintage style frame, that is if you are not going to make more for a Crazy Quilt.
Cheers R .

Rosalie's idea sounds good, in a pretty frame it would look amazing.

Very pretty, love all the detailed stitching. After all that hard work it needs to be made into something you'll either look at or use every day.
