love the pictures.The quilts are pretty, I can't wait to do a pin wheel now. But I challenge myself to finish what I am doing at the time before I can move on, So I don't have UFOS I don't get back to cause I lose interest then. I save everything. I don't have enough for a crumb yet but they are collecting up fast. Right noe I am sewing 1 1/2 x 2 inch scraps for a scrappy quilt. I am trying the brown bag method. I also save thread So I can make thread bowls, but I don't waste much with using feeders so that is going to take a while to collect.

I've never heard the term "crumbs" before. After reading for a while, I realized I have lots of them, mostly pieces from trimming half-square triangles. Toddlers love the play with them. My one grand-niece throws them up over her head to watch them fall around her. Pure enjoyment. She even puts them back in their containers. I have about 8 but don't always give them all to her at once. Maybe I'll make a quilt out of them for her. Glad I joined this site. I am learning continusly.

Crumbs are just fun! I agree with those of you who mentioned using every scrap (and getting your moneys worth)!
The easy thing about a crumb block is that it can be easily done when you are tired and don't want to/can't concentrate...at least this is the case with the crumb wall hanging I made! I plan to do more.

If ou are concerned about how much thread it takes to make crumb blocks, use up the odd scraps left on your bobbins, small amounts left on spools. They need to be used up too and color just doesn't matter since all the thread is on the back. Love crumb blocks!
