Crumb Blocks

These are 4 big blocks/panels, each approx 10 x 12 in.  Pieces were all pulled quickly from my "trash", and sewed together with little plan nor thought.  I DID straighten out edges as needed, and pressed as I went.   Most pieces are from a recent quilt, still in process.  Some pieces were left larger than others, part of my plan.  Hopefully I'll get this project made up soon.  

These crumb blocks took 1 hr. and 20 minutes.  Great fun, do give it a try.  The floor is a mess.

    I am doing this too. My red scrap bin has yielded three quilts with reds, one big one with pinks, and is still one third full. It is a little bin 12 x 12 x 15! And now all the pinks are in piles, cool pinks in one area and warm orange-pinks in the other. Little pieces up to longer strips. The plan is log cabin roughly, making squares of 5-6 inches then narrow sashing. I believe you - this is fun. Not too much thinking. My pink quilt is ready to sandwich, a purple one is on the machine, doggy one and big brown scrappy waiting to be sandwiched. I'm starting to feel like a personal assistant would be welcome! Thanks dear Elaine for being an encouragement!

    in my experience, the messier the floor, the more fun that was enjoyed...lol

    I have made two crumb quilts. Used up a ton, but now probably have 3 times that many crumbs waiting for use. Mine are mostly shirts as they have so many odd pieces left over after deboning a shirt (I liken it to deboning a turkey). I am eager to see what you do with these. You do such interesting pieces.

    Fun, messy especially, is good for the soul. And your quilt slab looks great!

    Such cheerful colors for your crumb quilt! Good for you! (And glad to hear that your paper work is going through finally.)

    Crumb piecing can be fun indeed! Your current batch of scraps is very cheerful -- I like the turquoise/red check on the right.

    Looks like a lot of fun putting that together, and I like how much purple is involved. :)
