Crumb quilt top started in 2011 is now pieced!!!
Ta-da!!! My crumb quilt top is finally put together! It takes a while to get enough variety in crumbs to get 49 6.5" squares! I have alternated them with simple wonky blocks. FYI, the picture is really washed out. To get a better feel for the colors (sort of), look at the close-ups. The quilt measures 66" x 54". I'm only going to add a binding - no borders.
Picture 1 is the entire quilt. Picture 2 is the year I started the quilt, 2011. The third picture is the block with my initials, CH. I've included a few close-ups and some with a ruler. Look at all those small half square triangles!!! I always claim I don't do them and, to be honest, I sewed the triangles together, trimed them and didn't really pay much mind if they were prefect.
If I were to make another crumb quilt, I would make the blocks smaller. I have lots of little pieces, but not as many big. Maybe 4" squares would be more practical.
Can you tell my favorite color is blue?
