I've been posting about my Swoon blocks but I've also been working on crumb blocks. For some reason, I thought I had made quite a few but in reality, I've only made 3! I was working on these blocks when I had to pack up my sewing room. Now that my sewing room is renovated, I got out my blue fabric and made another crumb block. These are great to work on while making Swoon blocks.
You might be able to see that some fabric from Swoon is in this part of the crumb block. This block is fairly easy. I just put enough scraps together to from 1/4 of the finished block. Then, I add a blue strip on an angle. That's it! You make 4 and sew them together. They measure finished 12" square. Easy Peasy! And I'm actually using up scraps! This is a fun block to make. I'm not sure what I want the final size to be but I think I have a lot left to make!!
Oh those are really neat--what fun...a nice break from Swooning ;)))

Thanks, Julierose! I like using my leftover pieces from Swoon and making my crumb blocks. It makes the crumbs easier to sew together.
DeleteI would love to make crumb blocks but can't really get my head around the process...I know that sounds weird. I love the blue strip that adds some consistency.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna! There are lots of ways to make crumb blocks. You could start it like a log cabin block with a little square and just add to it. You could start on a triangle. Just add strips and square up once it's larger. You get the hang of it once you make a few of them. It's not as hard as it sounds.
DeleteThanks for the guidance, Rosemary!
