Hello everyone!
We all have scraps in boxes and bins, don't we? Tell me if you don't have scraps! I am no exception! I find it very hard to throw pieces that actually can be used. I cut squares in sizes from 1.5 up to 5 inches. I have done pretty well with 1.5 and 2.5 inches, but the other sizes are still in boxes.
For some years, I have saved HST's, 1.5 inches strips, error and leftover blocks. The idea was to make a scrappy HST quilt, but.... I love HST quilts, they are beautiful, but for me, I'm not a big fan of piecing HST's, I find it rather boring.
This is my first attempt on crumb quilting. I started out with that small cow panel (top right). This piece is made up of 3 rectangle blocks, each measuring 15.5 x 24.5 inches.
I had so much fun making these blocks! Love seeing some of my 'old' fabric again and turn them into a new quilt!
HAPPY QUILTING!

Those look like so much fun! I love scrappy projects, too!
Your crumb blocks are awesome! I'm working on old HSTs too and finding fabric I thought was long gone. It's so fun to see it again. Bonus, it cleans up the bin too. Got to love that! Enjoy! ;^)
This is looking great. What a smart way to use those scraps and left overs.
Now that looks like fun!!! What a super creative way to use up your scraps.
I love it! scrappy and improvised!
