Saturday Crumbs

Okay, I've made 24 of these blocks for the Crumb-Along quilt (about 18 in the last 24 hours) and I'm seriously hooked.  I need to stop now, though, because I'm bleary-eyed and I need to deal with real life for awhile.  I kept putting more tree blocks in there because they look nice and are easy to do, and I like the star blocks even if they're a little more work, and there are several free-form log-cabinish blocks in there, and some odd patches made with leftover HSTs and abandoned projects.  Amazing how they all seem to blend together.  At this rate, I might even catch up with the quilt-along.  But my sewing area is a royal mess!

This is a messy project, and I bet my mess will beat you all! The arrow/tree blocks are my favourites in your quilt.

I like those tree blocks, though some of them look like arrow to me (which is what I like about them). I like the directional movement they give to the quilt. I think I need to add some to my quilt top.
