    Rules? You think there are rules?
    Silly woman!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

    I've done a few crumbs inspired by threads like these. Most of my crumbs truly are crumbs ... teeny tiny itsy bitsy pieces put together.
    Wouldn't it be wise to add some sort of straight-grain strip (like a sashing) around the crumb block once it's cut down? I would think they would stretch too much otherwise.

    Just asking because I'm about ready to lighten my crumbs pile.

    I’ve seen them done both ways and both are beautiful. The reason I will add sashing to mine is because they will be a QAYG. Another option is to sew them to a foundation if you are more comfortable this way.

    I'm a little confused as to exactly what is a crumb quilt block.

    They look like crazy quilt blocks to me, so what is the difference?

    Is it that they are all one type of fabric and have no added embroidery/embellishments? Or ...?

    Crumb is just another fashionable word for crazy, not much difference, but you are right about no embellishments usually, but no rules to it, just do what you want to use up all those awkward bits left over :-D

    Wouldn't take much of one of those to make a dolly quilt for a DD or DGD...and be adorable!! :)

    "You are crumb!" just doesn't have the same ring to it....
