I have made over 300 crumb/string blocks that will measure 3" when sewn into quilt top. I was not sure how to use these but this morning I thought about using them in a 9-patch block. I put some up on the design wall and wonder now if this is a good idea. (I would not use reproduction prints but something more modern in tone on tone or solid . I just had these in my 3 1/2" bin.) I had thought about just sashing them but the prospect of all the small sashing does not appeal to me. Any ideas or thoughts?

I already used other crumb blocks as an outside border in this quilt that I posted some time ago. Still not quilted yet though.

Gosh, these blocks are so much fun to make and before you know it, you have a huge stack of them!
