is there a right or wrong way of sewing crumbs??? I see one of sewing all on a strip. others sew how ever and then square them and put then all together with or without framing the squares.. hmmmmmmmmmmmm

there are no rules just go with the flow and see where it takes you

Define crumb. I have seen a quilt made from the odd shapes leftover from appliques. All sewn together any which way to create fabric & then trimmed to squares. Most of the pieces finished were about the size of my thumbnail. I know I'd never have the patience to do that.

my crumb is going to be of all sizes that i receive... Crazy Crumb........ so there may be a 3 inch square or a 1 inch or even a strip........ received some pieces already and it is interesting to see what other people sew with.

Rules? You think there are rules?
Silly woman!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I've done a few crumbs inspired by threads like these. Most of my crumbs truly are crumbs ... teeny tiny itsy bitsy pieces put together.
