Whoever would like to have some of my crumbs, please PM me. I consider anything under 2" square a crumb, as I don't have the patience to work with tiny bits. I just threw out out a bunch in my great purge of the sewing room. I'd feel better sending an envelope of them to someone who'd appreciate them.

This is a crumb quilt I made about 6 years ago. There are many small pieces and I stitched them on this way and that way until I had a block about 6 1/2 inches. It is one of my favorite quilts and I am planning to make another one.[ATTACH=CONFIG]607262[/ATTACH]

Apologies,
I have only now seen the responses to my photo. Yes, there are nine 6" squares sewn together, to make i big square. The sashing is how I did the Quilt As You Go. I will try to find the method for joining all the small pieces together. I think my pieces were smaller than suggested.

It looks like you have sewn nine 6" squares together and then added a small sashing in between?
I'm very inspired because I save everything and sort by size. This might put a bit of dent in the "under 1 1/2" basket.

Apologies for delay in reply. I did not think anyone would comment on it. The quilt is made as you describe; nine 6" blocks joined to make a large block. The sashing is added at the 'Quilt As You Go' method. I cannot find/remember exactly how I did it, but some were so small that used paper as a foundation. I was very pleased at the result. Attached is a photo of the back. The photo looks small, but I cannot seem to get the size right!!

No idea how 3 copies of the blooming photo have attached to my post. Apologies.
