A question for you crumb users
#95
Here are some blocks I've done with crumbs. As you can see, some of my "crumbs" are pretty big. Just depends on how patient I feel on a given day.
The square in a square blocks are actually done crazy quilt style, on a foundation of ugly fabric, but you could do it with crumbs.
The blue block was made after I made a miniature sampler with blue and white, and wanted to get rid of most of the small bits that were leftover.

I've got a crumb quilt as shown going myself, but I also have a box of stings from squaring up blocks that I keep for pillow stuffing. It makes a very firm pillow and is great for making a neck pillow.Instead of a thread bag I throw that over the fence where there are a lot of trees with birds nesting.

I save all my strings in a big plastic container that used to hold pretzels. I actually use my strings more often than I use crumbs. I really enjoy string piecing. But somehow, my strings accumulate at a much faster rate than I can use them. I think they actually breed in there or something. When I make something with strings, it barely makes a dent.
ETA - by strings, I mean the strips 1" or wider. Okay, maybe 3/4" or wider.
