I've made blocks but have yet to join them together into anything. It is more like one of those "on-going" projects...kinda like string blocks. I make them when my scrap bins start getting too full.

I'm more likely though to make fabric for Mile a Minute than for Crumbs - probably because it's more familiar to me .

I look at these as free quilts- made from garbage that I would have thrown away!
I sew my crumbs together by color, forming new pieces of fabric that is yellow,blue,green,pink,red purple etc
then I cut them in to triangles and use abackground fabric to make HST units.
here are some pics of my units the black ones are 2 1/2" and the white ones are 3 1/4"
and also a pic of a queen size quilt top waiting to be quilted
hope this helps for the overall effect
These are not UGLY quilts!

I think Mile-a-Minute starts with a strip and you add small pieces to it. (put the strip down face up and put scraps face down and sew...cut and add on.
Crumbs start and continue to use smaller - odd shaped pieces.
I'll try to find links by searching.
