I've been wanting to start one of these forever. I make string blocks when I don't feel like making something else, but I just finished a top. Having seen your crumby, I think I am ready to get started. Thanks for the inspriation, it looks great!

I love your quilt. I don't usually like yellow and orange but in your quilt they are smashing!

You may be right...I really don't know who first call it crumb quilts. To be truthful, I had been doing this long before I had the internet. To me it is an off-shoot of string blocks.
