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.

So bright and cheerful, wonderful scrappy quilt

I so love this quilt, and may just try this method to rid myself of all my left-overs. The method I was using just takes so long to make one block.

Inspired. Hmmmmm.

That is a really cool quilt! Glad it's not leaving the family!

I like crumb quilts and your scraps are so so pretty to make one. My scraps consist mostly of QOV fabrics.

Amazing! Great color arrangement in your quilt. Well done!

So fun! I love the colorwash quilts that are so popular right now. You've done a great job putting yours together.

So fun! I love the colorwash quilts that are so popular right now. You've done a great job putting yours together. Do you quilt on your DSM?

I really enjoyed seeing your quilt! I have enough scraps to make a zillion of them! I like how you organized the colors Well done!

So pretty! I love the striped binding

Oh, I so love this...I had not thought of doing this with crumbs...and I fool with crumbs all the time. This is wonderful.

Love your crumb quilt and the border! I just love scrappy. And you did great in color blocks.

What a terrific use of scraps! When I think of how many potential quilts I threw away before I started saving scraps, it make me sick. Yours is a great creation!

Great use of crumbs, Teen! I love the color wash effect.

That is simply wonderful. No wonder he liked it. You are amazing with this creation and scraps!

I'm glad this thread got bumped up. I've decided I like this quilt so much, I'm going to put it on the inspiration wall. I'd love to do this a use up more of my scraps!

Hey, Teen...love it.
When I look at the pics, the first one of the blocks had me saying...OK..nice...
But, put them together and WOW!
May just have to give this a try one of these days.

This is fantastic, Teen! I have never done something like this, but I may have to attempt it some day. Isn't it nice when one of our loved ones really appreciates something we do? It's beautiful.

Leslie

I can't even figure out how you did this but it came out amazing! I love the color segregation and extending it to the border. Great work!

Love scrappy and your quilt is fantastic! The border really sets it off I think. Great job.

I have never made a scrappy quilt as I have never really been into scrappy... but this one is amazing and gorgeous and it inspires me!

Hugs

Love your quilt! Isn't playing with crumbs fun and frugal at the same time? I hadn't thought of this layout but it's a definite keeper.

What is 'Conquer Your Scraps Summit'? Sounds interesting.

Beautiful! I love scraps, and I'm one who saves everything that's big enough for another seam.
