Sunday Morning

Resolutions?   Did you make resolutions?

I made only a few.  One was to breathe new life into this blog...  1) by posting more regularly;  and 2) by encouraging some new visitors and readers...……..  So, here we go.

I have become a CRUMB BLOCK FACTORY.

You know, you sew tiny leftover bits together, then cut out a block, then use it in a quilt.  easy-peasy.
but - - NOT QUICK...

This week several quilts from my massive inventory of crumb blocks came rolling out the end of the assembly line that is my quilty life.  I just love these little beauties, made from scraps and bits...…...

 I really find crumb blocks too busy unless they are surrounded by solids, so I sometimes border them with a 1 1/2 inch border, and then sash them, as in this BLUE CRUMBS.




DITTO IN RED CRUMBS !




Now, let's add some sparkle !!!  Cornerstones and little stars make these pop !


And - crumbs made into "Square in a Square", in tropical colors !


So fun to use up these bits - and these will soon be on their way to an organization that is gathering quilts for kids in the foster care system.  

I should hasten to say I have a lot of help.  Surprisingly, my DH likes to IRON !!!!  Woot, woot !

So, I sew up long chains of scraps or crumbs in progress, and he irons them and piles them up, and then i sew those together, and off we go til it's a 6.5 inch block.

But, don't fear, I try not to work him too hard......... because he has other duties, too, like serving as a Kitty Bed !!!!  


Well, it's a new day, and a new week - wonder if there are any tiny bits of fabric around ???

Stay warm and safe,

Kathleen

I love your ideas for the crumb blocks! I've got a pile of them, too, and keep watching for ways to set them. The crumb blocks in a square are great, and the one with the star cornerstones, too. Great finishes!

Fabulous use of Crumb Blocks!! Thanks for sharing another way to use these fun blocks. I spy bits of Light/Bright GREEN for this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Well, hello! I didn't know you had a blog. I recognized the red crumb blocks from the Stashbusters photo album. I like the green ones, too!

^^^Sheesh. Blue blocks, I mean.

You know I adore your crumb block quilts. How fun to learn that your DH does the ironing! I think I could get mine to iron, too, if he also got that kind of extravagant cat love. Alas, our kitty is too aloof for that.

I am a crumb addict as well. Thanks for the ideas you have blogged about. I have a couple hundred 8.5 blocks just waiting for use in a top. There is no end to crumbs. They multiply when you are not looking lol.

Love how you've used the crumb blocks!

Hi everyone, I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Anderson Loan Finance. Honestly, I thought it was a scam, and then I decided to make a request based on their recommendations. A few days ago, I confirmed in my personal bank account amounting to 9,000 euros, which I asked for business. This is really good news and I am so happy that I advise all those who need a real loan and who are sure to reimburse to apply through their email (text or call) +1 315-329-6320 There are sincere loan lenders!

They are able to thank you for your loan.
