Description
Dress up your bed with a little bit of luxe to warm up those chilly nights. Inspired by Victorian crazy patch quilts, this modern interpretation uses decorative and utility stitches to paint elegant black satin and velvet with splashes of color. A simple “stack and slash” piecing technique creates the crazy patchwork design.
