Someone on this site actually inspired me to try the "Crumb" blocks, LOL, is that right? I think that is what she called it but I can't remember who. Sorry. Anyway I sashed with a dark color to sort of calm it down and tied rather than quilted. It is a true utility quilt. I would take it on a picnic or to the beach. But not a quilt show. It sure is snuggley warm on these cool fall evenings. A lot of fun to make.
