I love your joy of sharing what you are doing with us. It seems to make you so happy and your happiness gets through me every time. I cannot listen to you without having a big smile on my face…that is how you make me feel! Thank you so much for that!
These are really sweet. I agree with your choice to use one colourway per block. I’m not usually a fan of random mixed up colour, so these are a perfect block for me.
Love, love, LOVE this idea! My scraps are getting out of control and weighing me down (hindering my creativity), and this looks like the perfect project for me. Thanks for sharing this great video with us! 🥰
I rarely keep tiny scraps, so I never saw a crumb quilt that would work for me. I DO keep lots of varying width strips, and so this block will be just perfect! Can't wait to see your finished project.
Crumb blocks are just THE MOST fun to make! No plan, no pattern, NO PROBLEM! If I have no crumbs (yeah, right!) I find some large scraps, put them on the cutting mat and 'slash' them with the rotary cutter...Instant crumbs. 🤭😁.
Turned out great. 😅 scraps or crumbs sewing like this is so much fun. I can just sit and sew no points to match. The seams can be little wide and it is ok. It is fun to just see the end block. Each is unique. Thanks
I so love your fabrics....I have made many crumb/string blocks. I do not use foundation for piecing them ninety five percent of the time. I just have a square ruler laying near by to help me achieve the size I want. I would call yours string blocks...but they are yours and you can call them what you want...it is all using scraps that we won't use in planned quilt blocks. (Mine I call crumbs and string blocks to myself, but just crumb blocks when writing about them..because I do use little pieces and strips) And I even made one quilt I called my chunk quilt. A lot of my crumbs and strings, are scraps I bought and would be hard to catergorize as any one color, but I sure love crumb blocks made with one color. I cannot wait to see this finished.
Rose, Thank you for sharing. I really think these are more string/scrap blocks versus crumbs. I really thought I had crumbs in my scrap bins but I did not.
I think this is going to come out spectacular. I love each block being the same color family, makes a nice bold cheerful block. I'd think of this a more of a string quilt (using scrap strips) rather than a crumb quilt. The bits you cut off of each strip I think of those small irregularly shaped pieces as crumbs, personally I would much rather not work with crumbs, I think strips are much more versatile and easier to work with compared to crumbs. It might be fun to try different shapes in the middle of each block, hexagons might be fun.
If the blocks were a little smaller this would make a great wall hanging for a preschool or kindergarten class to teach the variations in color (pastel pink, light pink, medium, dark, etc. Also patterns: polka dots, stripes, plaids, print verses solid, etc. if you did a facing binding you would already have the back ready for a dowel to be a wall hanging. This would be a good service project.
This looks like so much fun. I am a beginner & my stash is starting to grow. I was thinking of using some jelly roll & honey bun pieces too ! Thank you for this tutorial. Can’t wait to see your finished project ! 😊
I love this block so much and I especially love that you used the same color in the center of each one to have something that brings them all together!
Loved the video and the blocks. Gave me some great ideas for my next crumb/scrappy quilt! Please show your finished quilt. It will be such a happy one.
@@thesimplequilter7499 I sew the crumbs into 3" wide pieces then sew them onto 2.5" wide strips of thin paper. Those crumb strips then become the center of keyhole blocks.
Well, you are definitely MAKING some crumbs with the cut off strips! I have a box of fabrics that I'm classifying as 'strips' that are like yours. My crumbs are much smaller. I haven't figured out what to do with them yet. Love your blocks!
Liz, Give on of these a try to see if you like it...I really did enjoy making each one!! If those little pieces are crumbs, then I will stick with strings, scraps! Lol! I would like to get it done some day!! LOL!!!
Lynn, Please be sure to let me know how you like making this block. You can even post your finished block on my Facebook group called "The Simple Quilter's Community Showcase". I would love to see it!
@@trudyward9113 I am not sure yet. I may not do a border and just do a one color binding. I will probably see how it will look with a sashing and a border to… any additional ideas?
Would love to see your finished quilt! Love those blocks
Thank you! I hope to finish it but it may take me a bit!!!

You are so welcome!
You are so welcome!
Looks like a fun scrap buster. Can't wait to see your layout!
You and me both!
Great idea. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Thank you!
👏👏👏 I look forward to the progress!
❤️😀
Yes! Thank you!
I love your block! What a great way to use up scraps!
Thanks so much!
Very cute & I can’t wait to see the finished quilt
Thanks!
Love it, Michelle❤. Thanks for your video. You are enjoyable to watch. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Beautiful. I love the idea of the constant center. Great video.
Thank you! That is an old tip/trick for helping to make scrap quilts come together!
These are really sweet. I agree with your choice to use one colourway per block. I’m not usually a fan of random mixed up colour, so these are a perfect block for me.
Thanks so much! 😊
Been making these for several months , love them!
Awesome!!!
Love, love, LOVE this idea! My scraps are getting out of control and weighing me down (hindering my creativity), and this looks like the perfect project for me. Thanks for sharing this great video with us! 🥰
Kerry, You need to give one a try!!!
Those are so cute!! Thanks for the idea Michelle!
You are so welcome! These really are fun to make!

You will have to give this a try and let me know what you think!!!
Love the blocks. Can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Great blocks 👍
Thank you!
What a fun block! Love the colors.
It is such a fun block!
These are so beautiful! I wanted to make a string quilt, but I think I like your scrappy blocks so much better!
Thank you so much! At least give one block a try to see if you enjoy making it!
Crumb blocks are just THE MOST fun to make! No plan, no pattern, NO PROBLEM! If I have no crumbs (yeah, right!) I find some large scraps, put them on the cutting mat and 'slash' them with the rotary cutter...Instant crumbs. 🤭😁.
Good to know!

I think that is why I enjoyed making these blocks so much!!! Each one was a little different!!!
This is a vey sweet and simple block and I love having each block it's own color way. Thanks. Nice Video.
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
This is such a pretty block and it looks like a lot of fun to make. Your scraps are fabulous.
Thank you!
Great ideas!

Rose, Thank you for sharing. I really think these are more string/scrap blocks versus crumbs. I really thought I had crumbs in my scrap bins but I did not.
Love this and will be doing it thanks for sharing.
Enjoy!!!
Great idea. Either use a colorway or go all scrappy😊
Either way will work!
Nice blocks! I have made several scrappy crumb quilts & love making them! Such fun & freeing! Blocks made out of your own ideas.
Yes!!
I love crumb quilts they are so fun
Would you consider this a crumb quilt? Or do the pieces need to be smaller?

Hexagons are a great idea! I like the idea of a string/scrap quilt. I do not save tiny pieces...I thought I did but I don't.
I would really like to see the finished quilt. Thank you for the video 😊
I first have to finish all the blocks! I will try!
Fun blocks..
For sure!!!
Beautiful blocks, love it. Please make a video on how you will put them together 👍🌺
I am going to try; however, I have quite a few more blocks to make!!!
I love doing scrap quilts. I have used crumbs but they are more tedious. Yours will be beautiful with all the bright colors.
I think this may be a scrap versus crumb quilt...not sure I want to use any smaller pieces!!
My favorite kind of block.
Super fun!!!
These blocks are beautiful and So Springy!! I do not like scrappy quilts, but this "controlled scrappy" is for me!!😊 THANKS for sharing this idea.😊😊😊
Glad you like them! I an anxious to make a purple one!!!
If the blocks were a little smaller this would make a great wall hanging for a preschool or kindergarten class to teach the variations in color (pastel pink, light pink, medium, dark, etc. Also patterns: polka dots, stripes, plaids, print verses solid, etc. if you did a facing binding you would already have the back ready for a dowel to be a wall hanging.

Go for it!
Beautiful, and a great idea! (I would call this a string quilt since they are all strips.)
Thank you! It could be considered a string quilt I guess...
Thank you. This looks like a fun project.
It is!
Love those blocks. I will be making these.
Excellent!!
I love this block so much and I especially love that you used the same color in the center of each one to have something that brings them all together!
Thanks Fallon! I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed making each block. I couldn't wait to see how each one turned out!
Love this, so happy!
Yes!
This is definitely on my list. What a great idea. Could we please see your finished quilt? I can't wait.
Yes, when I get it done! It may be awhile!
Fabulous!
Thank you!
I love this block, maybe doing some pretty, colorful ones like yours will help get me out of my sewing funk!
Kathi, Give one a try! It maybe just what you need!! I couldn't wait to see how each one looked finished!!!
Loved the video and the blocks. Gave me some great ideas for my next crumb/scrappy quilt! Please show your finished quilt. It will be such a happy one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love these
Thank you Rae!!!! Thanks for always watching my videos Rae!!!
Now you have crumbs with what you’ve trimmed off when making the 11” block!
Someone else mentioned that...a crumb quilt is now becoming less desirable! Lol! I may have to stick with scraps and strings!
@@thesimplequilter7499 I sew the crumbs into 3" wide pieces then sew them onto 2.5" wide strips of thin paper. Those crumb strips then become the center of keyhole blocks.

Would love to see the quilt from these blocks
I hope to finish it...just have to make the rest of the blocks first!!!
I really like. I use sheets from the second hand stores for the foundation because I can buy them for a lot less than muslin.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!!
Would love to see the finished quilt.
It may be awhile...I have to make more blocks first!!!
...well, maybe if not a Crumb Quilt per se..... you should call this a Morsel Quilt Pattern!
Love it! So fun! Love this type of block.
Love your title!!!
Oh these do look like fun. Great way to get those scraps under control. Thanks for sharing this great idea! Kathy
You are so welcome!
Beautiful blocks, thanks for sharing. Subscribed.
Thank you for watching and subscribing! Welcome to my channel!
Good Afternoon to you. Beautiful blocks with all the pretty colors,I just love them. Happy sewing and quilting to you and enjoy.❤️😀🧵🪡✂️👗
Thank you Faith!
I was just thinking i am in the mood for a scrappy quilt. This would be a great qayg quilt!
It's a fun one!
Love, love, love these blocks you made! I’m going to try these today! 💗
Lynn, Please be sure to let me know how you like making this block. You can even post your finished block on my Facebook group called "The Simple Quilter's Community Showcase". I would love to see it!
@@thesimplequilter7499 Ah, I’ll join your FB group! I’m using grandchildren’s outgrown me-mades for quilts, so this method will be awesome. Thanks. 😘
I love this idea for using scraps! Making each block colorful is so pretty. I can't wait to see the whole quilt! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
@@thesimplequilter7499 When you put the quilt together, would you use a plain border and multi-color binding?
@@trudyward9113 I am not sure yet. I may not do a border and just do a one color binding. I will probably see how it will look with a sashing and a border to… any additional ideas?
❤🎉
Thank you!
Reminds me of the duckworth quilts
I will have to look that up! I don’t know what that is!!
I think crumbs are more of what you are trimming off. These blocks are more scraps but pretty and should use up your scraps quickly.
I think you are right!!
What a cute looking and fun block idea!! Where do you buy your muslin?
I ordered some from Fat Quarter Shop because I had a gift card!
These do look like a lot of fun. I need to make a quilt for one of my granddaughters and this one will make her happy. Do you starch your blocks?
I did no pre starch this fabric. My scraps aren’t starched. I usually do prestarch but not with these scraps. I did use Best Press.
Hope you show us how you will join and quilt them.
I hope to; however, I have a bunch more blocks to make first!!!
Would like to see finished quilt 😊
I still have a ways to go!!
Please show your finished quilt -- thank you!
I will!
Is there a reason you used fabric for foundation or could you use paper.
You can use paper. I just didn’t want to tear off the paper off and I wanted the stabilization to remain.
Where did you order muslin? What kind of muslin?
I just used some white fabric I had.
How can I send you a photo of a quilt block?
