Well, I sat down and took a break from work today and attempted my very first crumb blocks. I think they're really cute! Maybe adding a black border all around the perimeter of each one would make them a bit bigger. I only have a 5" square to cut them. The other thing I'm learning is it would be much easier to sort via long skinny piecs vs. short stubby ones. I grabbed each one and had to trim to make them fit. I'm going to try a crazy log-cabin block next.
I did call the local hospital and spoke with the activities coordinator. She really seemed to like the idea of quilts for the geriatric department (they don't even have a peds dept because it's so small). They said there were a few quilts donated via a local church but it wasn't an 'on going' thing. Maybe God's opening this door for a reason.
Figured I'd share some pics of what I'm working on!
