You mentioned binding, so I gather it is finished? Did you use batting? Did you machine quilt it?

Crumbs are really small scraps. I tend to not save anything smaller than 1 1/2"x3" & 2x2" squares. I sew these together as my leaders and enders for all of my other sewing and the blocks grow in no time. Orphan blocks are left over blocks from other projects. I seem to create lots of these testing colors and block designs.

Yes this is a finished quilt. It has batting and no I was not brave enough to try out FMQ over all those seams, so I tied it. The binding was made from the leftovers of 5 other quilts.

Now THAT is a scrappy quilt! I love it! Tell the truth--do you still have some scraps left over?

OH YEAH! Sad to say, I only lowered the level in my scrap basket about 8 inches. I'm already working on another. They multiply like crazy.

What a great scrappy! I'm with you - I like to look back at different fabrics and remember what I made with it. To me, it makes a quilt extra "special".
