My scraps are very small and odd sized so I am limited to what type of blocks I can do. I made 7 Crumb blocks, 9" in size.
I still have left a fair bit of blue scraps but at this stage I haven't decided if I do more blocks or a different project with the blue scraps. I am not using these blocks now to make into quilt top as I was planning to make more of these blocks in different colours as the challenge progresses to another colour.

I LOVE your scrappy blocks! I think a quilt with all different colored scrappy blocks like this would look fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteHi Celia, Love the crumb blocks - I am toying with the idea of saving my blocks and adding more colours as the challenge goes on.....ahhh decsions decisions!
ReplyDeleteJust a dumb question -what do you mean by a 'crumb block"?
ReplyDeleteIts a block made from any size scraps..
ReplyDeleteCheck the link on my blog to Quilville and previous postings on what I have done using this block. I have pictures of completed projects.
There is a detailed tutorial on this technique on http://www.quiltville.com/crumbs.shtml... beware, its an additive block... once you start you can't stop, that's what happened to me and I ended up with 2 quilts... but its great fun and a fantastic way to use up every piece of fabric you have and possible dislilke...
Let me know what you think !
Cheers
Celia
Your crumb blocks look great. A quilt made with different colors of these would be stunning!
ReplyDeleteI really like your crumb blocks too! I'm also going to wait until later this year to start putting together the quilt. I wanted a true rainbow quilt with all my scraps so I'm hoping to incorporate all the blocks I make in some way or another.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start with your large size crumb blocks. They look great. I just love the crazy patched look!
ReplyDeleteI'm just taking a tour of the rainbow challenge bloggers and your blocks are lovely. I too have a lot of little scraps, have decided on a small project for this month, but I might just take inspiration from your idea for future months :)
ReplyDeleteYou made some nice blocks, and if you add some more of those in different colours it will make a beautiful colourful quilt.

Olá Célia, já estive a ver com mais atenção tu és uma artista, eu ainda não domino a técnica como tu mas lá chegarei. Parabéns estes blocos em tons de azul gosto muito.
