what is a crazy quilt and how is it made?
A crazy quilt is usually a "scrap" quilt, meaning that it's made from lots of different fabrics. It also isn't made with regular "blocks" pieced with precise "patches" or shapes of fabric, which are then set in some kind of grid. It often also has various bits of embroidery work on or between the individual pieces to decorate it more (they were originally made just to easily use up any leftover fabric a family had).
Here are lots of pics:

The concept is sometimes applied to a particular block too, like the "log cabin" block... here's an example of a "crazy log cabin" block (or a "wonky log cabin"), for example:
