About a year ago - I had some leftover blocks from one of Cynthia's Block drives for her Hospice Quilts.... and they just had to be used!!!
I have been trying to adopt a "If you pull the fabric, You must use the fabric" Policy around here. Eh - I am 80/20 in the positive... so its sort of working!
Instead of putting those leftover crumby blocks into a scrap pile I built a quilt!
and now... that quilt got some quilting - and! Is bound!!
I did make a few boo boos along the way - and get a measurement or two wrong - but you know what? I had fun and I like how it looks!!! Oh - and it is a finish - so there is that going for me haha!!
I actually had a really good time quilting this and imagining that it would look like what I saw in my head ...
So how has your week been? Any progress or Finishes to report???

Each round with a different quilting design? Why? Because you are such a show-off :-D Handsome finish! Love it.
I love, love, love this layout, and that you used up your crumb blocks! This is definitely an inspiration for me to use some of my crumb slabs...sometime, soon-ish!
Fabulous finish on the brown crumb rail fence quilt. I love the variety of quilting motifs in each round. The quilting on the large light box looks playful and sure it is gorgeous close up.
what a great way to use crumb blocks and the quilting was fun to see
Such a striking layout for this one. I really like the asymmetrical look. The quilting works very well too. Great ideas!!
That is a neat design! I love the turquoise and brown together. Your policy about using up the scraps that are left out sounds like a good idea!
You sound very disciplined in your sewing room to me. How great to use these blocks and create such a wonderful quilt. I also love those sewing lines you added. Another beauty, Alycia!
sCRUMBptious!
The quilting is fantastic! And I always get excited when I see a quilt that uses brown so beautifully. Congratulations on the finish (including binding)!!
Spectacular quilting - really enhances this quilt. I like your policy about using fabric that you've pulled, but I don't think I could ever achieve your success rate, haha.
What a great quilt you've completed. I really enjoyed looking at all of the wonderful designs you put into it.

Great design and wonderful quilting. That's a good policy. Hope you can keep it up.
I love all the different quilting patterns used. It adds a barrier between each round. It's fun to look at. Love the layout too. It is very inspirational on how to use crumb blocks. Awesome job! ;^)
What fun quilting designs! The turquoise and brown are great compatible colors. It is a great finish!!!!
Exquisite!!!!
Wow! Scrappy blocks, brown, cool setting, over the top quilting--yes, it ticks all the boxes! Wonderful quilt!
What a fabulous way to use up crumbs! Love all your play in quilting the rounds. It looks like you had fun and the best part is the finish! Well done Alycia!
