Sharon Boggon of Australia issued her 2020 challenge to create a crazy quilt with
2,020 items and I was hooked! Items include unique fabrics, buttons, charms, stitches, seam treatments, beads and trims.
I soon
began my response to the challenge by listing places I have lived and traveled
to, both foreign and domestic which then led to including my personal interests-
gardening, music, sewing, technology etc..
My plan was to represent these through flowers and colors.

Clouston’s Foolproof Crazy Quilting was the perfect format for my
blocks. The hexagon shapes let me tell
each story separately. The backing/
binding fabrics are different for each hexagon, so the back of the quilt is
colorful hexagons as well. As the owner of a quilt shop, I wanted to use
fabrics that I sell, mostly 100% cotton quilting fabrics mixed with batiks and
silks.
