Very true, but if you already have the rolls of paper it's a good way to use them. My parents had one of those adding machines from back in the "olden" days. When I visited I dug around the desk and found a roll.
I've used fabric and telephone books as foundation also. It's all in what you have around the house handy.
You don't have to use foundation at all if you don't want to. It just makes it more sturdy as you put it all together. I take the papers off after I get the quilt put together one evening while watching TV.

besides the fact that there is no embroidery stitches over the seams, it seems that crumb is the same as crazy?? I thought crumbs were bits of fab to small to sew w/seams so were put onto a foundation and either fancy sewed all over or even covered with a piece of tulle and then sewed over using various emb. stitches....not as a full quilt, but rather a decorative thing. So what is this technique called....thanks......

BTW there was no need to type it all in ... I just cut and pasted it into the browser and was there.
Then cut and pasted it here, so you had the hot link.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures. I've been reading about this method for some time, but it took these great pictures for me to get some motivation! I'm off to finally do some sewing after a bit of a slump.
