Scrappy Colorwash Crumb Quilt
 

My bags of crumbs were overflowing so I figured it was time to do something with them besides a Wallhanging or pillow etc…so, I just started making crumb fabrics using each bag of color….When I though I had enough, I cut blocks from those and did a Colorwash layout. With the scraps of crumb fabrics, I cut 2” sashing and creating transitioning strips. I must have auditioned every color for a solid border and none looked right…decided to continue and extend the colors to the border. Kind of a neat effect, I think. Anywhooo…my husband thought this turned out cool saying, “I really like that” so I made a drawstring bag for the quilt and put it in his truck for emergency blanket. lol.. I was going to donate it but when Hubbie really likes a quilt, I keep it…. Picture of the fabrics created are included if you were curious…

Scrappy isn't usually for me, but this one is fantastic. What a great use of all the colors.

That is one Fab quilt! Love the border you did too!!!

What a great way to use your scraps!

You are a better person than I. I can't save all those little pieces, because unlike you I would never use them. Kudos to you for turning them into a fabulous and colorful quilt! It makes me wish I was as industrious as you.

I like the way you did yours....thinking I should try something like that too. I made "My Monster Quilt" using scraps, but never touched my scrap string skinny pieces and used them the way you have. Oh, you've given me a winter incentive!!

well done! really lovely. a vehicle quilt for emergencies was part of the recent Conquer Your Scraps summit, if you are part of that group you should share this project!

That is absolutely beautiful!! Wish my scraps were as organized as yours!

That really uses lots of small pieces, great job!.

Love it. It's always in my mind to dig into the scraps I have but I never do.
