That's what got me thinking and yes I have been saving all those crazy "little" pieces. I'd love to see another crumb quilt if anyone can post a pic. The pinwheels were so cute.
Type in scrap quilts (in search) and you will find lots of them. This is the thread I started with a picture right at the top. Not hard to use tiny pieces when they actually started out as part of something bigger. <wave> |

They are addicting - I don't know HOW to stop...there's so much more fabric scraps in my bins! LOL My Blocks vary in the sizes of the pieces they contain. Some 5" blocks have lots of little pieces (I must have been really creative) and others only have 5 wider pieces (must have been tired). I've kept the pieces that are too small for me in another bin. I have other things to work on now :) 8-) |

I like to make a some crumb blocks from each quilt I make. Haven't made enough yet for a quilt, but it will be very scrappy when I get enough, and I like scrappy !

I love some of the pictures I have seen but I've never tried it.

This is what I do when I don't have a particular project in mind. I spread a bunch of crumbs on a piece of scrap batting, add a large scrap of fabric to the back, and practice my free motion quilting with partial spools of thread. I cut out circles, applique some fussy cut flowers, and zigzag the edges. Ouila! Coasters.

Oh my goodness! What a cool idea and not so intimidating as the huge bags of scraps lurking in the closet. I thank you for sharing this idea and the picture which really helps!
