May I ask, what are "crumb blocks"?
Crumbs are the little pieces left after you cut your pieces for a block.. I only keep "crumbs that are t least 2 in. square. I really like bigger pieces, but you can use any size scrap . Some quilters use even smaller pieces! There are several tutes on crumb piecing. Check on this message board or Google crumb blocks or crumb quilts.
