Thank you.

Crumbs are quilts made from little pieces of fabric. Here is a link to a tutorial you might like.

I like them. I guess I misunderstood what a crumb quilt was. I
thought it was one made with tiny tiny pieces of fabrics.

Those are sure bright and cheery. Reminds me of the posters we had back in the late 60's.

kattskreations, crumbs are made of tiny pieces of fabric. Here is a link to a crumb tutorial that you might like. If you google crumb tutorials you'll find more info on them. They are a fun way to use up small scraps of fabric. Hope this helps.

Tiny is a relative term. You can use as tiny as you want; if it's too tiny for you, "get rid of it!" as Eleanor Burns would say.

Think of crumbs as leftovers. Some you keep, some you toss.
