If you go to page 3 of this thread you’ll see some 4” crumb blocks I’ve made. You can google crumb quilts and find some great pictures of completed crumb quilts. Hope this helps. :-P

Hi, it's not a quilt made of crumbs. On this board there was someone that made a tote bag out of crumbs, it was soooo cute. I believe she fused the small pieces and when she had enough fused she made a bag and added rick rack, buttons etc. I hope the person that made this will respond so we all can see this again.
Thanks

Thank you for explaining what crumb quilts and S&C quilts are. I don't have much fabric as yet, but hope to be able to build my stash at some point.

I save my scraps as I cut, in a large flip top trash can. When the trash can is full the plastic liner goes under the cutting table. Now tell me why I do that - fabric is expensive but I don't like working with little pieces that are all wrinkled. Stopping in the middle of my fun new project to trim and stack just isn't going to happen. When my Mom died her last project I found was sewing all kinds of little squares of her scraps together. I will probably add some of mine one day to make a larger quilt. We use very diferent fabrics. My S & DIL will just give it a toss. I'll have to donate it. None of my brothers understood the little patches but I did. . .

Here’s a tutorial she did on crumb quilts. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-6951-1.htm

Anything smaller than a 2x2 is not worth saving, unless you want to make a postage stamp quilt... (which I don't..) Diana.

If the color is good, I will save strips of 3/4" wide (and, they don't have to be much longer than two inches, either). I save as much as I can and have the added blessing of knowing someone who takes real scraps and puts them in beds for puppies and kittens at a pet shelter. <wave>
