Crazy quilt with three bands of patchwork around the edging. This is unlike other crazy quilts in that is has an order to it. The long sides are made of blocks while the top and bottom of the border are stripes. In the center six traditional crazy quilt blocks with feather stitching. The backing is hot pink with visable quilting pattern (border lines, center, candlestic, anchor like shapes).
