I am saving the tiniest of scraps to make this with the grandkiddos:

Cool. That's something I think my 3 year old granddaughter would enjoy. Thanks.

What are crumb blocks?

These are some crumb blocks that I made with crumbs and scraps that some members of this forum sent to me. I love them!! They are 6 inch square.

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Oh, my! I have two large plastic tubs with scraps from over time. Some pieces I cut up into 5 1/2, 5, 4, 4 1/2, 3,and 2 inch squares and put in to ziplocks. Other pieces I put into the tubs. My friends and I get together in the summer and make scrap quilts from the material.Even through it isn't yardage, it is still the good material I bought!

I keep all scraps. I save the pieces smaller than 2" and do PIFs here on this site. any pieces 2" or larger, I keep in bins. I'm making a postage stamp quilt out of 2" squares; I love using my scraps for scrappy strip blocks. I love scrappy!
