My crumb containers were overflowing from scraps generated from several quilts. I spent the last week sewing them together. My last set of crumbs ended up in my Hexie Crumble quilt. This time around I lumped similar colors together: black, gold, purple, orange, red, brown, green, blue and cream. Some fabric doesn't fit into a single category the scrap already had different colors sewn together, so I have some multi-colored patches, too. Right now the green and multi-colored ones are biggest.
I had no idea I'd made so much. Laid out together it would make a good sized wall hanging or a small throw quilt. I need to start thinking about how to use these pieces and how big of a quilt to make with them. So many possibilities!

I love crumb blocks - yours are a lot of fun, Sally! I bet they are interesting to look at up close. I'll enjoy seeing how you decide to use them!
ReplyDeleteHave never dabbled in crumbs but they always look therapeutic!
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, you certainly had lots of crumb fabric. This could make a very nice quilt, whether you put it together now or wait for more crumb blocks. Thanks so much for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteYou have been very busy, Sally!!! Your blocks are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing scraps used to make fun projects. It's amazing how all these different fabrics all seem to work so well together.
ReplyDeleteSally your crumb fabric is lovely! I’m using crumb blocks now for a project. It’s so much fun using what other think is waste to create fabric for new projects! Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday. Hope you’ve had a wonderful week and made lots more progress on your projects. 😉 Carol
ReplyDeleteSally, you take the satisfaction of using up materials to the highest level. Looking forward to seeing where all these crumbly compilations end up. Congratulations on your ribbons at the fair - I'm happy, but not surprised, to see my favorite citrus slices with a blue :)
ReplyDeleteI wish my scraps looked that well together. I look forward to seeing what you do with these blocks.
ReplyDeleteI can not for the life of me figure out how to sew the scraps and have so many lines different ways. That's why I cut the squares in half to make half square triangles.
ReplyDeleteLove all those blocks! that had to feel good to get all of those scraps organized
