Luvtooquilt, I love your crumb quilt.

So that's a crumb quilt. Here I have been making them for 30 years and calling them string or crazy quilts. He he. Don't ask me to post pictures, someone always grabs them as soon as they are finished.
|
Oh by the way, it's absolutely gorgeous.
|
I have been saving crumbs but haven't taken the big step to put them in a block. Kind of reminds me of crazy quilts
|
I didn't know what a crumb quilt was but it is what I used to think a quilt was. I like it. I don't know if I'll ever have the time or patience to make one but at least now I know what I'm saving all those crumbs for!

At the risk of sounding really ignorant, is a crumb quilt the same as a scrappy quilt? I have never heard that term before.
Would I be correct in assuming a crumb quilt is made from small scraps and not just extra fabric lying around?? Look forward to the enlightenment! |
Wow...its getting there!

That is exactly what I think a crumb quilt is- just as you describe. Made from very small pieces that are first sewn together to make a bigger piece of fabric compared to a scrappy one where you already have the whole fabric and cut it into pieces. Scrappy to me means a lot of different colors all mish-mashed together with no particular pattern. Just my opinion, tho. |
