There are some beautiful quilts made out of 1 1/2 sq.in.
It is the same amount of tlhread as if you will sew anything else.

I like to cut small squares (about 4 inches) of some fabric that I don't think is good enough, or pretty enough for the top of a quilt. That is my background. I use the sew and flip method to use up my crumbs and cover them. Makes really cute doll quilts, potholders, book covers, change purses, candle mats, etc. etc. The two layers gives enough body for lots of things where you like a little extra body.

Your blocks look good. I've made one crumb block to try the method out. I made it 6 inches. Somebody gave me a small bag of scraps so I used them to try this out.

Hi mlaceruby
How do you make your squares, do you make scappy squares and then cut them? I've been quilting a while, but still learning. :)

mlaceruby

yes just keep adding crumbs then cut to your desired block size

Thanks for your help. Love your quilt.

This is beautiful. I have done a scrappy quilt like this so it is just a smaller version. This is something I will try. Thanks

This is a fabulous thread topic. I have several bags of scraps and I really need to get busy and try this. Oh dear...guess it will just have to go at the end of the list. Loved all the pictures and they really helped inspire me. Thanks everyone!

What great folks you are to take the time to post some pictures showing your terrific work! I'm very excited to dig into a "crumb" quilt soon after seeing the results! Thanks!
