Difficult to explain but if you set yourself some limits on a project sometimes you can experience it. Not in this case. I was responding to a number of comments/posts saying something to the effect that "I thought I had to...". There truly are no rules in crazy quilting; which in itself can be stifling because you don't have a base to start from. But it also frees you to try anything.

Jude, "...when people group things they stop asking questions." That's a very good point! I hadn't thought of it that way before. thanks for commenting!

By the way, I am a sane quilter rather than a crazy one, (though many people will question that statement) and the rules there are made so you know what to break! aha! a subversive quilter... the best kind! :-) thanks for commenting!

Sharon, I'm wondering if people get so used to all the rules in sane quilting, that we think there ARE rules in crazy quilting? It could be one reason anyway... and my thanks to both of you for commenting! Susan, your response made me laugh :-) You are so right on!

It's just whatever I feel like doing, which includes machine piecing. I machine-piece curves, too. I lop stuff off and add something else. I do all the stitching and the beading because I *like* it. It's fun! It satisfies my need to create beautiful things. I also make quilts. I need both! We don’t need no stinkin’ rules! It’s just whatever I feel like doing, which includes machine piecing.
