Crazy Victorian Patchwork! (It's not all about invisible stitches)

So many of us have this false narrative that Victorians were all prim and proper and wanted nothing but invisible seams and the tiniest of stitches. But that is simply not true! And the little book I found on Victorian "Crazy Patchwork" (as so named by the author in reference to the works created) is here to inspire and delight us!
