Marsha gave me a shoebox full of scraps about year ago. I put them together, aiming for 6 1/2 in. chunks. It was difficult to actually stop sewing little bits together! Lots of fun - I wish I'd not used the cornerstone in the sashing, but live and learn - those busy blocks like "plain" sashing better. This is about 44" x 58" It finished up so quickly, I already gave it back to Marsha. Go ahead, give this crumb block thing a try! I sorted the scraps into mostly red, white and blues.
Today, I'm making Christmas Trees, ala Jordon Fabrics, on YouTube. To make use of a nice clean, tidy area, I put up a big table in my family room -- now I can mess up that space quite well! Hope I get some Holiday items finished soon.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I love your crumb quilt with the cornerstones. Great use of scraps.
ReplyDeleteShow us your Christmas trees.
Have a great week, Elaine.
Love your crumb block quilt. The red inner border brings everything together nicely so I wouldn't worry too much about the cornerstones. I made my sashing as crumbly as the blocks because it asked for it. You can see it here

You can also see the mess I made, lol.
Take care. Enjoy! ;^)
Love those crumbs... it is so much fun to make them, as you say, and goes together fast. Nice way to be thrifty too!
ReplyDeleteA fun post, Elaine--from your crumb blocks made quickly, to setting up another table to mess up that space, too. LOL Love it all!
