Crumbs!!!

A little blurry, but at nite the light is bad.  What do you think of my crumb blocks.  I want to put sashing between them, otherwise they mush too much.  So I am testing sashing.  From left to right: red, purple, black with navy below it, and yellow.  I think I might go with the navy, since I have a bunch of 1 1/2 inch strips already cut the scrap box. Just thought of lime green.  Will try tomorrow when the light is much better.  There will be one more row down the side and then borders.  Just ran out of room on this table cloth design wall.  I have to pin everything on or they start falling off when I add new ones to it.  Do you see the 16 patch black and white check in the middle?  That is left from a border of a Christmas wall hanging that I really need to get quilted.  There are 9 patches left over from RRCB, Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt last Nov.  Wonder what her new mystery will look like.  We will have to wait and see.  The first clue goes up on her blog Nov. 18. Check out Bonnies Blog if you want a mystery that will turn out great.  I have done 3.

Happy Quilting,

Crumb Along

What is this??  Jo over at Jo's Country Junction is hosting a crumb along.  She is showing how to make different crumb blocks.  Something new every Tuesday.  I got a late start, so just got the first week finished and started on the 2nd week.  The first week was Flying Geese.  I used bonus half square triangle to make my wonky geese.  Then just built the block up so I could square it up to 6 1/2 inches, which is the size of the ruler I am using.  This is very freeing, because you dont worry about matching seams.  The "Crumb" are left overs and scraps", dont throw it way, crumb it.  LOL

The next ones are Wonky Stars.  I used the dregs of my 2 inch squares to make these.  I day dregs, because I have been using these up on other projects.  May have to cut some more from the larger scraps.  I need some lites.  I really like these.

Next is a heart block, I will work on that this afternoon.

Happy Quilting,

Vicki
