Hi, from Wales UK, I love your quilts and watching your you tube videos! Watch out for those crumbs though !Our studio has been closed for 13 months due to covid, so I'm quilting at home. Crumbs are my new obsession, I colour sort mine and am way up in double figures making quilted tote bags. Leftovers get used in bottle carriers.thanks for sharing,quilting hugs from Wales xx
When I realized the amount of crumbs and scraps that I had left over after 35 years of collecting them I decided that was just too much fabric to throw away. I spent the last two weeks ironing them out and cutting them to specific precut sizes such as 5 inch square, two and a half inch squares and two and a half inch strips. Anything smaller I cut into 4 in length and will be making strips 4 inches wide to make something like string quilting. So far I'm just finishing up cutting and from the amount that I have shut down I should be able to make in the neighborhood 5 quilts that are full size and three or four lap quilts. Honestly I'll be glad to be done with them.
Hi Pat - I am an expat Canadian living in New Zealand and I bought some fabric from a quilter on a local destash site. I set it aside for 6 months and pulled it out to use it for a quilt that I am working on and by strange coincidence, it is one of yours! It's called Old Blooms from 2003 and it's a lovely olive green with beige flowers with purple trim and green stems. I love it and your tutorials. Keep it up. Cheers from down unda! 😊
I love making crumb blocks. They are definitely mindless sewing cause anything goes. Plus I love the idea of using the crumbs rather than throw them away. Saves $$ and is a warm quilt.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the bonus project for the Home Is Block 16. I'm going to start making squares in the sizes and make a scrappy quilt. Thank you for all your inspiration and ideas!
I love the crumb blocks! I would make bags to store the quilt in. If the quilt needs repairs, you would have the coordinating fabric right there. Thank you for your videos, I've been mostly crocheting in the last few years, but you really make me want to get back into quilting and complete my wips!
Scrappy is scrappy, sew them together for the new babies family to have a picnic quilt or as a travel quilt. We carry a quilt to use in the hotel instead of theirs
I love the crumb blocks. They do not have to be the same color family. That adds interest and appeal to the whole quilt. Use a navy or black or red or brown, something that is the same to sash and border and they will look very happy together. I do a lot of scrap blocks and I really do not worry about what family color scheme they are in. It looks good when you get done. Black or navy is my favorite for sashing. Have fun.!!!
Love crumb blocks and hearing more about your crumb blocks, Pat! I have been doing them since the pandemic started. MIne become small quilts and allows me to practice machine sewn binding and the wavy line stitch for quilting. Keep sharing the crumbs! They are delicious!!
Your crumb blocks remind me of my grandmother. She would say during the depression “we use everything. No matter how small.” And she did till she passed. She would use clothes as well as fabric from anything to make quilts, she called blankets,that were for warmth not for show to clothes for grandkids and dolls. I still have much of what she had made us. Still feel the love she put in.
I am looking forward to seeing what you make with your crumb blocks. I started putting my leftovers in a drawer and it is pretty full now. Whatever I do will be a miss-mash since I didn’t keep them separated by projects. Thanks for visiting with me today.💕
I finished this morning to cut my Tilda fabric to make a warm spot quilt, I consider 20 blocks and sashing. So excited to do that. And that fabrics is wonderful. 💪💪
I made some crumb blocks awhile back. I didn’t like what I ended up with. As a whole block. So I cut some solid half square triangles and also cute the crumb blocks into half square triangles. Put some sashing and cornerstones around them and made a table topper. It actually turned out better than I thought. A baby quilt was another idea too. But I’m not doing more. I would rather spend my time on other blocks, rather than crumbs. Love yours! Love everything you do Pat!
Pat, you are amazing! How many hours are in your day, I think you have more than the average person LOL!!!Wish I could get so much done! Enjoy watching every day and be inspired, thank you so much! Just received some of your fabric and it is just beautiful! Thanks again for all you do.
Oh, and I am doing crumb blocks thanks to you! Love seeing what you're doing with them. One of our morning group suggested doing the Mind the Gap quilt in Jolly Bar Book 3 using the crumb blocks as the colored fabric. I am leaning that way....mine are super scrappy!
I am loving watching your crumbs grow back into new cookies. lol. My crumbs are sorted by color and when I just need some relatively mindless sewing I grab one and just start sewing two pieces together for a bunch of two sizes, then add a third, etc. on my pressing mat I have a 6-1/2 in square marked out and aim for about that size. When it gets there, I trim and staystitch the block. I plan on using them in a friendship star quilt.
The first crumb blocks I made were completely scrappy blocks which I joined by red sashing to unify and made a quilt. Now I'm saving my crumbs by color in ziplock bags. I sew like colors together to make new fabric I will use in other projects.
I made my one and only crumb blocks into a quilt with leftover mask-making fabrics. Then I tied it together with a common novelty fabric sashing. I like the idea of sort by colors so much better than what I did. Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing your crumb block progress. It reminds me of my grandmother using any piece of fabric she could get her hands on. I lived with her most of my life and she was a great scrap quilter. Keep up the crumb block ideas when you make your videos. I love watching you.
I think it is fascinating that in just a few months you have accumulated 28 blocks from scraps! Please keep us posted. That is a LOT of fabric to just throw away. I think I need to rethink my scraps. 😉💫
Love the crumb blocks. I started making them last month and was surprised how much I enjoy the process. The quilting I normally do is so structured and these are a complete departure. They are fun and creative.
I found you by searching for crumbs. I'm a fan. I made string blocks at the beginning of the pandemic to generate crumbs. If you end up uninspired - I'm in MD so I could stop by and take them off your hands.
Diagonal pattern if using all crumb blocks in one quilt, maybe. Each diagonal row would be same color family. Enjoying you sharing your thought process!
I love the idea of crumb blocks! It’s really going back to the idea of “nothing goes to waste”. It’s so easy for us now, to quilt any fabric, any pattern or color, but I’m sure the first quilts made were truly just bits and pieces of whatever fabric quilters could find. Think of the flour sacks our grandmothers might have used for quilts. It’s also a history of all the quilts we’ve made, sort of an album of fabric. I love the idea and think these are great, picnic, road trip or just curl up, cozy quilts.
I love making crumb blocks.. They are like a palette cleanser to me. I don't mind the big bag of scraps. Actually when I want to sew but don't want to plan or count I just pick up scraps and sew them together mindlessly and love it.
I've been making crumb blocks for a few years now. I have a basket for my crumbs and when it gets full, I sew. There are times when I just want to sew but don't want to really think about the 1/4" or matching seams or getting perfect points. I've made 2 crumb quilts so far from my blocks.
I love this "home is" series quilt-along. For the next quilt along will you make man quilt the same asymmetrical size as "Home is" in the camouflage range of colors. I am making the home-is for my mom and would love a man camouflage version to make for my step-dad. These would be there Christmas presents.
I love seeing all the things you are doing and watching your progress! It'll be interesting to see what you wind up doing with the crumb blocks - the color schemes are great!
Yes to the crumb blocks! With the Pandemic months, I found a love for making scrap quilts and think your blocks are just the cutest. They are a whole new level of creativity. ❤️💚💙
💖💖💖 All your morning shoes. I watch them every morning and gives me inspiration. I finally got all my Sewocialites blocks caught up. My next goal is to make all Your Home Is blocks in Patriotic fabric which I think would be a beautiful quilt. As with the crumb blocks. I have a lot of those and need to get busy. How fun would it be to set up a sewing station outside by the pool and sew in the sun all day. I need to try to figure this one out to see if it’s possible. Happy Quilting from Virginia Beach 🌞🌞
Have seen other quilts made from crumb blocks and love the idea. Have seen appliqué quilts made from crumb blocks that were really great but I still haven’t put any blocks together yet😄. This is inspiring though.
That dark block is striking! I agree that the lighter block looks better in your quilt though. Crumb blocks are cool. I like to see what others do with them, but they’re not my thing to make right now. I know a lot can be done with the blocks, but it’s just too much for my brain to keep track of, and the last thing I want is more “stuff” so I do toss the strips and crumbs that I can’t cut into whatever scrappy size I need for my stash.
I love the crumb blocks. I have started following suit. I love hidden treasures block. I wish I could get just the pattern on the kit. I'm not a fan of kits. I live hearing about crumb blocks. I live hearing about your cross stitch. I love that you change your mind on the hexagons. The project talks to you and says let's do this instead of that. I love that.
Yes love the the crumb chatter and I am making them with each project. I recieve my For the love of Quilting magazine and on the cover was a quilt made from your Morrison Park fabric. I am sure this is no surprise to you, but was exciting for me. I love the Morrison Park fabric line.
I like the crumb blocks. I haven’t started yet- bogged down with other things. What about a wave of color blocks from dark to light across a quilt? That way you could still do your blocks like your doing associated with the quilts you’re working on, but you could group them later on to coordinate across a quilt. Of course, it would still depend on their colors, but it might work if you had a plan in the back of your mind as you sew the crumbs together throughout the 6 months.
I taught my mom how to use scraps to make crumb blocks one year when she stayed with me. I’ll have to find the picture. If I want to make some for the backing of the quilt or will have enough to make a pillow or a throw or table runner or a lap quilt or to used to make cross stitch bags. Like using for bags or cutting into small square for scrap quilts. Have fun!
Hi Pat I love your crumb chat! I use crumb blocks and orphan blocks to make charity row quilts that are about 40 x 60. It's pretty easy to accumulate a 40" row! I divide them into groupings (like autumn or murky or perky or primar colors) and sew enough rows to make a top. I hope someone can use this idea. It works for me!
I am super excited to see what you finally decide to do with your crumb blocks. Great idea...sew as you go. I, too, would not be inspired by a “bag” of crumbs.
Love your crumb blocks. I have doing them for years. I found that you can mix lots of colors and styles of fabrics if you use sashing . I have even sliced leftover or rejected blocks into smaller pieces and used them as the starting point for a crumb block. If it takes a long time to make enough blocks for a quilt, who cares! It is just fun making them.
Crumb blocks look great. You design creative is expected in each one. One of best thing is keeping coordinated projects together. Congratulations on a great work and great idea. Thanks. I have keep mine separated but have not started yet til I finish the qt.
I love your idea of doing the crumb block as you go. I am overloaded with small pieces I just can't throw away, so I'm working on this daunting task of making crumb blocks with them. Very time consuming when you have SO MANY!! Thanks for the idea!
I'm slowly stitching crumb blocks. My pieces are a little larger than yours. I've noticed I hate them until I cut them to size. Right now they're 6.5 x 9.5 but I may cut to 6.5. I'm using random pieces in each block so there's no color story as yet. If I don't have one when I am ready to make the quilt, I may go with sashing to bring in some color logic. We'll see. I was watching you with the blue blocks and realized Norm wasn't there. "Norm! Norm! Where are you buddy? Oh...over there." Whew! :)
You could make mug rugs with crumb blocks, or donate a stack of blocks to an organization or Senior Center to use. I like the crumb blocks! I like hearing about them & the designs.
Love the crumb blocks, and yes I have been doing them for about a year now. There is so many ways to use them and I love having the blocks ready to make quick projects like table runners, fun scrappy borders, pieced backing on some quilts, and even full quilts out of. I did a full red quilt years ago with scraps which could have been entirely of crumbs. So I guess, only quilters can love crumbs. LOL
I love your block for Home is.... I really want to start that quilt. I like your crumb blocks too. I hadn't thought of doing them for each project. I started doing the ones for Friendship Bracelet.

that is a massive project, good for you to tackle it. This is enough for me
LOVE the crumb blocks. They would make some pretty baby quilts. I want to do some and make a picnic quilt. Thanks for sharing!

that is a LONG blast from the past. it was my very first fabric line/. I hope you finally make it happy and use it in a quilt!
I love making crumb blocks. They are definitely mindless sewing cause anything goes. Plus I love the idea of using the crumbs rather than throw them away. Saves $$ and is a warm quilt.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the bonus project for the Home Is Block 16. I'm going to start making squares in the sizes and make a scrappy quilt. Thank you for all your inspiration and ideas!
I was an original member of the VQM and have visited many times.
I was cutting my 'stash of crumbs' ... just cleaning them up so I can sit and sew for 30 min a day ... thanks for the 'crumb chatter'!
I love the crumb blocks! I would make bags to store the quilt in. If the quilt needs repairs, you would have the coordinating fabric right there. Thank you for your videos, I've been mostly crocheting in the last few years, but you really make me want to get back into quilting and complete my wips!
Love the crumb chatter! It’s like a “bonus quilt” made up blocks of the leftover pieces. Great idea and it looks like fun!
I have never heard of a crumb block. I am sewing some up and it is a challenge trying to put everything together. I love a challenge. Thank you Pat.
Scrappy is scrappy, sew them together for the new babies family to have a picnic quilt or as a travel quilt. We carry a quilt to use in the hotel instead of theirs
Light background is better choice for the quilt. Make a pillow out of the dark background.
Fun video Pat. I've been organizing my scraps :) love this quilt :)

Love crumb blocks and hearing more about your crumb blocks, Pat! I have been doing them since the pandemic started. MIne become small quilts and allows me to practice machine sewn binding and the wavy line stitch for quilting. Keep sharing the crumbs! They are delicious!!
You could use them for 'afterquilts.' The backing for you projects. I love it! You counted 10 Easter blocks, that's almost enough for another quilt.
Yes, I started the crumb blocks too. This will give me extra donation quilts for my local foster care program.
Your crumb blocks remind me of my grandmother. She would say during the depression “we use everything. No matter how small.” And she did till she passed.

I still have much of what she had made us. Still feel the love she put in.
Love crumbs.
@@wilburlitwiller ❤️
Yes I do crumb blocks. Especially when I don’t want to concentrate on a specific project but just sew randomly to relax. But it does take time.
I am looking forward to seeing what you make with your crumb blocks. I started putting my leftovers in a drawer and it is pretty full now. Whatever I do will be a miss-mash since I didn’t keep them separated by projects. Thanks for visiting with me today.💕
I was able to snag the flag quilt kit! So excited!🇺🇸

Love the crumb blocks! I do those with all the quilts I work on and my friend adds more to my tub. Too much fun! Hugzzz from Montana.
Oh - it's block Wednesday!! Woo hoo!! So excited to add another block to my Home Is...and I ❤️ the Treasure Hunt block!!!!

Yes! Live this block, I can see a full quilt just with that block.

I like that thought, about the fabric scrap book of sorts
I love making crumb blocks.. They are like a palette cleanser to me. I don't mind the big bag of scraps. Actually when I want to sew but don't want to plan or count I just pick up scraps and sew them together mindlessly and love it.
Love the crumb blocks...... Love you....
I love blue 👍👏🥰💙

The crumb blocks are great. The ones that don't work with anything would make great trivets or pot holders.
I love using up crumbs, Crumb chatter is fun!
I love this "home is" series quilt-along. For the next quilt along will you make man quilt the same asymmetrical size as "Home is" in the camouflage range of colors. I am making the home-is for my mom and would love a man camouflage version to make for my step-dad. These would be there Christmas presents.
you can do any of my quilts in that fabric .. i use fabrics I love in my quilts you do the same!
Bonnie Hunter calls the two large blocks in comparison, garlic knot blocks. Thanks for sharing all that you do.
The right side is all dark so go with the light! I love the dark one better though too.
I love seeing all the things you are doing and watching your progress! It'll be interesting to see what you wind up doing with the crumb blocks - the color schemes are great!
Yes love crumb block sewing. Have made a couple quilt tops doing that. I usually mix it really scrappy but have one christmas reds and greens started.
Yes to the crumb blocks! With the Pandemic months, I found a love for making scrap quilts and think your blocks are just the cutest. They are a whole new level of creativity. ❤️💚💙
It’s interesting to watch what’s going on with the crumb blocks. I think we all wonder what to do with them. So, I’ll stay with you on this one. 👍
I love seeing your crumb blocks!

I think the key is to sew the crumbs as you go, so many people get buried under scraps, sometimes too small to do anything with, like less than 1"
I love the crumb blocks. I have started following suit. I love hidden treasures block. I wish I could get just the pattern on the kit. I'm not a fan of kits. I live hearing about crumb blocks.

I love the Crumb Chatter and seeing your progress. I want to see more lol.
I am inspired to try crumbs. I’m a scrappy quilter so might like it.

Pat Love seeing your crumb squares and can’t wait to see your finished project!!!
Yes I like seeing the crumb blocks, I need to get mine started. Actually I like seeing all that you do. Your a great motivator!!! 😀
I tend to accumelate my crumbs so it will be very scrappy 😃Gisela in Sweden
I enjoy some crumb quilting I've been using on back of my quilts. It's fun. I call it playing
Your crumb blocks are like a journal of your projects. I think it could make an interesting quilt together. Setting strips could pull it together.
love the crumb idea want to start doing it ... please keep it up .. want more
Hi Pat I love your crumb chat! I use crumb blocks and orphan blocks to make charity row quilts that are about 40 x 60. It's pretty easy to accumulate a 40" row! I divide them into groupings (like autumn or murky or perky or primar colors) and sew enough rows to make a top. I hope someone can use this idea. It works for me!
Love the crumbs!
Love, love, love the talks about using up all of my “crumbs”. 💕
Love your crumb blocks!
Yes Pat, love that you are showing the crumb blocks. I like them but haven't tried it yet.
I am super excited to see what you finally decide to do with your crumb blocks. Great idea...sew as you go. I, too, would not be inspired by a “bag” of crumbs.
I love the crumb blocks. That’s what I need to do too. I have lots of crumbs. Thank you!!!
I love the crumb blocks. I mix and match fabrics and make quilts from them.
Love your talks.
Hooray, Confident Stitch! Fat quarters are the only precut I like.
Yes great idea with the Crumb blocks
love it, please keep them coming
The crumb blocks seem cool. I might start making them.
Love your crumb blocks. I have doing them for years. I found that you can mix lots of colors and styles of fabrics if you use sashing . I have even sliced leftover or rejected blocks into smaller pieces and used them as the starting point for a crumb block. If it takes a long time to make enough blocks for a quilt, who cares! It is just fun making them.
Crumb blocks look great. You design creative is expected in each one. One of best thing is keeping coordinated projects together. Congratulations on a great work and great idea. Thanks. I have keep mine separated but have not started yet til I finish the qt.
Use the crumb blocks on the backing!
I love your idea of doing the crumb block as you go. I am overloaded with small pieces I just can't throw away, so I'm working on this daunting task of making crumb blocks with them. Very time consuming when you have SO MANY!! Thanks for the idea!
I have a stack of crumbs from my last 2 projects - I keep moving them around my studio. - time to get stitching!
Enjoy every minute of it all!!!
Thank you!
I'm slowly stitching crumb blocks. My pieces are a little larger than yours. I've noticed I hate them until I cut them to size. Right now they're 6.5 x 9.5 but I may cut to 6.5. I'm using random pieces in each block so there's no color story as yet. If I don't have one when I am ready to make the quilt, I may go with sashing to bring in some color logic. We'll see. I was watching you with the blue blocks and realized Norm wasn't there. "Norm! Norm! Where are you buddy? Oh...over there." Whew! :)
I love the crumb/scrap blocks and hearing the updates on keeping your project scraps under control. So satisfying!
Love talking about crumb blocks...it really appeals to my sense of "using up".
You could make mug rugs with crumb blocks, or donate a stack of blocks to an organization or Senior Center to use. I like the crumb blocks! I like hearing about them & the designs.
I love crumb blocks. I don’t have a garage, basement, or shed. We have to be picky about what we keep in our 1000 square foot house
I love the crumb blocks! I really find it so much fun to sit and sew them myself. It’s nice to not think about precision and math!
Love the crumb blocks, and yes I have been doing them for about a year now. There is so many ways to use them and I love having the blocks ready to make quick projects like table runners, fun scrappy borders, pieced backing on some quilts, and even full quilts out of.

The crumb blocks are so pretty. Enjoyed your talk.
I love your block for Home is.... I really want to start that quilt. I like your crumb blocks too. I hadn't thought of doing them for each project. I started doing the ones for Friendship Bracelet.
I’m enjoying crumbs too. I would like to think my grandma would be proud of my quilts. She’s no longer here to see my stuff.
