Someone on this site actually inspired me to try the "Crumb" blocks, LOL, is that right? I think that is what she called it but I can't remember who. Sorry. Anyway I sashed with a dark color to sort of calm it down and tied rather than quilted. It is a true utility quilt. I would take it on a picnic or to the beach. But not a quilt show. It sure is snuggley warm on these cool fall evenings. A lot of fun to make.

Looks great! I think it could be in a show.

Very nice - I make a lot of tops for Linus using "crumb" blocks. Only once did I go through the efford to make sashing but it truly does add to the quilt.

I love making crumb squares but haven't put them together as a quilt yet because I was wondering how sashing would look. I like the way the sashing looks on yours so NOW I can finish my Crumb quilt. It's pretty addicting, isn't it?

It is a very nice quilt. The sashing sets off the blocks and just makes it extra special.

SO pretty! That dark sashing does add some quietness to the crumb blocks. Hmmm - - - where are my crumb squares? :D

wolfkitty 10-14-2011 03:32 PM

I like the dark sashing. It gives it a nice touch! Nice work!

very pretty!!

Thanks Trish, I learned about this "crazy" method right here. If you type CRUMB BLOCK TUTORIAL into the search option it will link to a pdf tutorial. It is basically the flip and sew method. super easy. I used decorative stitches that are options on my machine on some of the seams to give it more of a crazy quilt look. Have fun.

I love your quilt. Very pretty. Crumbs are so much fun.

Trish88 10-14-2011 04:59 PM

Nana....I came back to see your picture of the quilt....when attaching the blocks did you just do in the ditch and are you or can you add embellishment to this quilt...hmmm maybe not I guess it would take away from the whole idea of the quilt crummy lol.....thx ever so much again.....I found the directions its a whole lot like crazy quilting from what I can see....Trish

It has a mosaic look, I think it is beautiful...I would be so proud to hang that one over my couch =) We definitely need more of the quilts you can actually USE, rather than the ones that are too pretty to touch.
