The maker of this quilt threw caution to the wind and combined the fashionable Crazy quilt style with the simple Strippie or Bars pattern. The irregular, broken-pottery look of the strips themselves contrasts interestingly with the straight edges of the seams between them, creating a look both haphazard and neat.
