I now have 63 blocks and counting for my
Crumbs quilt. Whenever I have a few free minutes I go and make some more and get threads all over my black skirt.
There are 12 star blocks...
...14 tree blocks (I'm seriously thinking this could be a good signature quilt for the upcoming Cedar Tree auction; just let the kids pick a light patch to sign on)...
...3 heart blocks, and the rest are all free-form, mostly log-cabin. I figure I need about 140 for a dorm-bed sized quilt, but if I get tired of making them before that I can always make a generous lap-size quilt.
Most of my little triangles come from a bag of leftovers I've been saving forever. I came close to tossing them during my last cleaning session, but I just couldn't do it. And I've been cutting up some of my failed experiments or extra blocks, too. Maybe I can give myself permission to toss them all after this project... goodness knows I've got enough new fabric I've been waiting too long to get to!

Blocks look great. Has that relaxed outdoor look with the blues, greens and trees.
They are looking wonderful. I am hoping to make my civil war blocks into a large scrappy quilt. I only have about 50 of those done. Hopefully if I can squeeze a little time in for them.
Wonderful, love all your blocks !
Very nice blocks, you have been busy! I'm way behind at the moment.
I love how this is coming along, great job! cw
