Here's an interesting article on Etsy about the origins and history of crazy quilting. No wonder I like it so much - its origins are Japanese. ^_^

Bonus: Also linked from the article above, a piece about Japanese Boro: "Literally translated as rags or scraps of cloth, the term boro is also used to describe clothes and household items which have been patched-up and repaired many times. Once clothing was made, it would be maintained throughout the owner’s lifetime, or perhaps even longer."

How fascinating! I love crazy quilts too, so this was a really neat read.

I just stumbled across it while I was looking at crazy quilt photos on the internet. (I swear, it's better than porn at times. Although not quite as good as cute animal photos, but close.)

Glad you liked it!
