SO WHAT WAS THE "CRAZE" ABOUT CRAZY QUILTS?
The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition was a big event in Victorian society. One of the most popular exhibits was the Japanese Pavilion with its fascinating crazed ceramics and asymmetrical art. Women were eager to incorporate this new look into their quilts and with the help of popular women's magazines the making of Crazy Quilts became quite the rage. This enthusiasm over Crazy quilts continued until about 1910.
