My first try at crumb blocks were not to my liking. but FDIL loved them! The ugly quilt sits on her bed, she loves it. At her wedding shower she was showing pics of the bedroom furniture her parents bought them. the quilt was on the bed. Her BFF said to me- I love that quilt, can you make another one? I laughed- it really doesn't look ugly at all.
Keep going- those blocks will look fantastic when you're done!
