I've spent the last week or so making stacks of 2, 3 and 4-inch squares as well as stitching together lots of crumbs from a year's worth of sewing projects. Much of that was from Winter Stars. I made a nice stack of crumb pieces simply from that quilt's fabric.
I also have a quite a stack of cut pieces from that quilt - there's a few diamond pieces and lots of background triangles. I stitched one block together before I realized I had enough pieces to make a wall hanging from the leftover pieces. I've been throwing the pieces on the wall to see what design I can come up with. I have three parameters: use up as much of the pre-cut fabric as possible, minimize the number of new cut pieces (I had kaleidoscope fabric laid out but not yet cut), and do not pull apart the finished block.
Should be interesting to see what the design wall looks like in a few days. What do you think?

Interesting black and white squares. I live your sticking them on the wall process.

This project is very interesting! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
ReplyDeleteThose are fun! I love crumb blocks, but have never made any in those colors. It will be fun to see what you do with these!
ReplyDeleteLove your crumb blocks in those colors. If it had been me, and if I had enough fabric, I think I had put the diamond stars in the center and crumb blocks around it. There are so many possibilities and I'm looking forward to see progress.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these black and whites

It's going to be great. Love how it's looking so far. Different designs, different shades of black, gray, and white. Awesome

How great to use up old crumbs. And all that cutting, my! These colours you've chosen are wonderful together. And I like that you want to keep that finished block as is. It's a beauty. Happy Stitching from me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to use up those leftover bits and pieces. I can’t wait to see the progress you’ve made this week. Thank you for sharing on To Do Tuesday. I think there is something so elegant when you make a black/white quilt (or any other 2 colour quilt). 😁
