Okay, I'm no expert on crumb quilts, but what I think I understand is that crumb quilts are made from your small scraps of cotton fabrics. Crazy quilts on the other hand are made of a large variety of fabrics, many different textures. And are embellished with fancy stitches, ribbons, rick-rack, beads, sequins, buttons, etc. I think both are sewn on a foundation fabric, crazy quilts could have a pattern printed on the foundation or be done randomly.

Here is a picture of a few crumb blocks I’m working on. Crumb quilts are not embellished. Put on your sun glasses I work with bright colors.

Also crazy quilts have many different fabrics used, silks, cordoroys, polys, home dec, velvets, etc. Really whatever fabrics you have on hand are used.
