I joined the CQJP2015 project in an attempt to get back to at least a flavor of crazy quilting in my work. Each month I will make a 8" Crazy quilt circle using a mother of pearl button as a focal point. 

 I have been watching  Gerry Krueger's blog and have been inspired watching her as she made her 8"squares and assembled her materials for CQJP2015 .  
I love this suitcase that a friend gave me.  She took it to college with her in 1962. I like to use it when I start a project to keep all the fabrics I think I might use together.  

I also gathered "some"  laces, trims, and of course feathers etc to have on hand.

I love crazy quilting but I love tambour work more.  My background will be black organza that I will layer with other fabrics and laces.
I have not shown you the sequins and beads that are overflowing their respective containers.

 I have been experimenting and trying to get the CQ feel.

Have to wait until later in January for before the unveiling the first Circle of 2015.
Hoping you all had a wonderful Holiday and wishing you all a very Happy New Year!!

    The mother of pearl pieces look gorgeous - great focal point for CQ projects for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

    Love the mother of pearl also... You must do a butterfly on one of yours like the one you sent me.

    I adore mother of pearl, its a wonderful focal point at any timed.
    Will you piece the circles onto a backing or have them as individual pieces?

    You could have just sewn the things as arranged in your photos and had a pretty crazy quilt!
