I just tried crumb quilting for the first time, I am addicted!!! It is like putting together a creative jigsaw puzzle made of fabric. I have 2 UFO's that have to be done soon, but I am a crumb quilt junkie right now. Is anyone else bitten by the crumb bug? I have been saying pieces of all the projects I have been doing for the past 20 years, extra blocks, sample blocks, strips, etc. I feel so creative doing this. Any body interested in doing a crumb block monthly exchange? I am doing 6" finished blocks. I feel so "green" too right now, keeping the scraps out of the landfill (like I could throw away fabric, duh).

i am new to all the lingo for quilting. What is crumb quilt?
You make it sound inviting.

Can you post pics? Would love to see what yer talking about......

Yes please do post a picture! I've seen small crumb blocks that were made into a quilt and they are beautiful. I'm not sure where you would start! Then another one with random scrap pieces a little bigger thn the very small pieces and it was beautiful as well! There have been a few posted on the board if you do a search you will find them. I can't wait to see yours!

This is another one on my 'TO DO' list.

OMG.. I love CRUMB quilts... I am forever looking for scraps ..

hmmmmmm some of my crazy blocks look about like this... maybe I've been crumming all along and didn't know it.....
I use this method to wind down.... it is so stressfree. I mean, so what if u mess up, its not expensive fabric , no set design , no keeping things in order... I love it...

I just can't make myself throw fabric away.. even the tiniest pieces.. I save threads, clipping, dog ears, etc for stuffings and such.......

I love making crumb blocks! I have 4" & 6" blocks going. I prefer the larger blocks - my string blocks are 8" finshed - but the smaller ones are so cute! They look great as cornerstones.

Here are pictures of a crumb quilt I did last month...

love what you are all doing with the crumbs/scraps/bits of left overs...way to go....
