What sizes are crumb I have not work with them but have see them on the site. what size and what they are using them for?
|
I think personally, everybodies crumbs are different. but to me.... anything under 2 - 3 inches is a crumb
|
I consider crumbs to be .5 inch to less than 2in sq..
and 3x3 up to less than a fq I consider scraps... Everyone will be different as some can work with smaller sizes and others like me cant.. |

You can make crumbs in different sizes. The smaller they are the crumbier (is that a word?) they are. If you make them larger, say 12” then there are more strips and it doesn’t look as crumby.
Here is a tutorial from Izzy http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-6951-1.htm Here is a link to large crumbs I made http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-110341-1.htm Here is a picture of some 4” crumbs I made. 4" crumbs [ATTACH=CONFIG]191179[/ATTACH] |
I use used dryer sheets and sew my crumbs on it. I call it making fabric. Scrap Happy I love your blocks :thumbup:

Thanks you for your help. I have been working with crumb for years and call them scrape. here is some of my crumb prog. I just finshed for my young es son and two I'm working on for christmas for two more of my sons. Again thank for the help.

I don't use any of these methods. I cut small squares of fabric and piece the scraps on those like piecing on paper. I just leave the fabric and the strange fabrics and odd seams are reinforced by the backing fabric.

I am allergic to dryer sheets, so what could I use instead?
