Amanda Jean of Crazy Mom Quilts has posted a tutorial for making this fierce quilted Christmas Tree skirt. I love the trend toward white in quilting of all kinds. But it’s especially good in this application – it will really make the tree pop. See the tute. And thank you so much for sharing, Amanda Jean!

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, crazy quilts were extremely popular. They were made from materials of various shapes and sewn onto foundation cloths before being embellished with embroidered designs. Silk satins and velvets were used in the most ornate crazy quilts, in addition to lavish embroidery featuring flowers and animals. Some memory quilts were produced using random objects such as scraps of clothing (to preserve a family history). The term “crazy” was first used in the “Cultivator and Country Gentleman” in 1878 with regard to embroidery designs of irregular shapes and proportions. The Japanese craze for intentionally cracking porcelain glazes was especially relevant.
