What beautiful little babies. They would make a wonderful quilt for your bed.

Yeah I'd love to have them! Thank you so much. I'll PM you with my address.

That's a great tutorial! The one I saw this on is here: http://quiltville.com/crumbs.shtml They're similar, but I like how your link tells you how to deal with strips without cutting 'em up right away.

Thanks for the comments guys. They are really fun to make. I started with just using scraps as leaders and enders while I was working on other things... and then got hooked! It is a lot of work, but I'm not on deadline since it's just for us.

ranger, I'd love to see pix of your crumb-work if you have any. I also work on these when I just have a few minutes to sew or am frustrated with projects. It's a good break and I feel all resourceful using up every bit of fabric.
