    Default Looking for batik crumb ideas

    Does anyone have a photo of what you have created using batik crumbs? I have a large bag begging to be sewn. Thank you!

    This one is on my someday list for my itty bitty pieces. I have a mixture of regular cottons and batiks that I plan to use.

    How small is a crumb....that you can use in quilting?
    I think I am throwing a lot of "crumbs" out?

    I keep everything 1 1/2 inch and bigger. Smaller than that goes into to shelter pet beds. I throw very little away.

    Here are some ideas of what to do with crumb size fabrics.

    I also am with Mike's girl. I make my dog beds from crumbs and polyester batting scraps.

    Sorry,no photo...I took lots of batik crumbs...randomly sewed together until big enough for quilt block...sashed them and used for a border on a bedspread. The center of the bedspread was a quiltop my kid made that she didn't get quilted.

    This would make a good quilt for odd size crumbs. It is called Bottled Rainbows
