Always wanted to make crumb blocks. These are chunk blocks.

For 17 years, I have saved all scraps from 2" square and up. Crumb blocks have always looked like fun, so I just tried some. Boy, oh boy, they ARE fun!! I used just recently made scraps on top of the pile, so it's mostly from Talk-About Books, so in strips and rectangles. The pieces are nowhere near crumb in size, so I'm making chunk blocks! :o I whipped nine together yesterday and cut them to 9.5". I decided to sash them with white on white to really make the block POP! It's 35" square, so perfect for my early May grandbaby (#1) to lay on for a nap. I'll quilt and bind (bright yellow) during my next break.
Here it is with a few close-ups. |
The colors are so bright and using the white really sets off the blocks! Congratulations on becoming a 1st time Grandma. You will love it!

Nice! I'm working on crumbs right now but I like yours better.
|
Very darling quilt!
|
That is great. I love the way you have "grouped" your scraps.
|
your quilt is beautiful-nice and full of happy colors
|
I did group them--it was definitely not a "pull a scrap out of a paper bag and no matter what it is, sew it on" situation. LOL
|
I like your idea a lot - just think how much time the baby will spend looking at the blocks just to make sense of them!
|
Great chunk blocks! What fun quilt that will be for the baby to grow with. Love all the different fabrics. The chicken fabric is great!
|
