Error Corrected in Newly Uploaded Pattern - Crazy Patch
if you have downloaded your free Crazy Patch pattern for the Legacy Quilt prior to 6/29/2017, please note:
The crazy patches should be trimmed to 7” so they finish each at 6.5”. The previous pattern stated to trim them to 6” which is not correct. Many thanks to an avid quilter who caught the mistake.
In the event you created your crazy patch blocks and trimmed them to 6.5”, then I would suggest putting on a 1.5” border instead of a 1” border and then it will come out to 15.5” unfinished - 15” finished.
Apologies for not catching the mistake.

The Crazy Patch - AKA Rebel Patch block is the sixth block for the Legacy Quilt Club.
Laura's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane was a prolific author and journalist, and both women were accomplished with the needle and in handwork. Several Ingalls-Wilder handmade crazy quilts are displayed at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home & Museum in Mansfield, MO, where the "Little House" books were written.
In 1961 Rose wrote a childhood memory of crazy quilts:
"Crazy quilt," my grandmothers called the hap-hazard mosaic, with slight respect, but my young aunts (Laura's sisters Carrie and Grace) made 'crazy-quilt throws' of scraps of silk and velvet, embroidering them and feather stitching the seams. These elegant "throws" were draped on pianos to Queen Victoria's taste. Today they are quaintly interesting; I wouldn't throw one away, but I would not call it patchwork. True patchwork is designed; it has meaning in every line. ~ Rose Wilder Lane, Woman's Day Book of American Needlework, Ch. 5 "Patchwork"
