MegsAnn, I'm doing those crumb blocks too. They use up so much thread but I like doing them. They are great for those times when I want to sew but just have a short amount of time or I am too distracted to concentrate on other projects. I sit and sew these and it isn't a waste of time because they can be made into something beautiful. I do some blocks quilt-as-you-go and sometimes use them to practice free-motion quilting.
youme, thanks for the link to the tute...that's a good way to do the crumbs.
