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.
HA! Thats ok...! Thank you for the info. I never heard of crumb blocks. Boy I hate tossing anything away. I have a tote almost full of "crumbs"...I didn't know what I was going to do with them but now I do! Thanks munchly! :thumbup:
