Pretty in Patchwork - A Baker's Dozen of Visual Delights

This is not my first post on patchwork and crazy quilts and frankly I'm kind of obsessed with it so this probably won't be my last. Today I have a round up of some of my favorite posts on the topic and few gems I found on other blogs. Learn how to make patchwork Scottie dog toys and ping pong ball necklaces. Ever thought about recovering your chair in patchwork or doing a patchwork wallpaper treatment?


Fabric scraps and spent rolls of tape make for lovely bracelets.


Treehugger asks the question: can patchwork actually look cool? I could have told em the answer to that a long time ago (hells to the yes).


I j'dore patchwork home decor and once did a round-up of a few of my favorite things. I'd do very bad things for those couches.


Thanks Craft Zine for pointing out these adorable Patchwork Scottie Dogs by Denyse Schmidt.


Prize ribbons and crazy quilts, it seems like a match made in heaven to me.


Craft Zine to the rescue yet again for pointing out this amazing patchwork rug showcasing an embroidery collection by Ester Mokka.


Patchwork looks just as good on a couch as it does on your body. Just read my post about patchwork from couture to crafty.


Ping Pong Balls are one of my favorite crafty mediums. Sometimes you just can't find beads big enough and you have to improvise. They look great given the crazy quilt treatment.


This wonderful patchwork ironing board cover over at 33 Stitches is enough to make me actually want to iron.


Wanna make your own Patchwork Vegas Show Pony Necklace? I know, I know that is kind of like asking if a wild bear poops in the woods.


Ever considered patchwork doilies? Sure they mostly come in white, but that is nothing some fabric dye and a little creativity can't fix.


Ya, ya I know these Nike shoes designed by Liberty are from 2009, but that does not make me love them any less. I already have two pairs of high tops I rarely wear because I am too lazy to do all the lacing, but if I thought for one minute I'd wear these shoes they would be mine!


Pint Sized Patchwork is here! Take the quilting craze to the kiddos with this fun jacket (easy to make for adults too).
