You're right, don't wait until you have ton, then you hit burn out after a few days. What I find works best for me is to sew pieces together as I accumulate them. I use them as leaders and enders between my other projects. Just sew pieces together until you can cut out the size square you want to use. Just set them aside as they are completed and then one day you'll be surprised to see you have enough for a quilt.

I'll do 4 more blocks to finish it off. [ATTACH=CONFIG]304736[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]304732[/ATTACH]Thanks for looking and enjoying my crumb quilt! Computer is scrambling the order of my pics again. sorry.
Wow! That is fantastic. I love it.

I too have a hard time throwing away a scrap. I am getting better, but after seeing you "work of art", I may have to start saving everything. lol. Quilter 1234

Never done one of those. But I'll bet it was fun. It's hard for me to do scrappy. I want control!!
