Crumb Blocks QOV

 Every so often those scrap bins get full, so I would sit down and make crumb blocks. then! I put them in a pile. 

Remember - I am working on my piles - so I pulled that one out and was pleasantly surprised to see how many Red and Blue blocks I had... enough for a Whole - ish quilt.

Each blocks was 8 1/2 inches Square

This was the first layout - it was going to be about 56 x 72 - I typically like my QOV's to be 60 inches wide....

So I kept digging. I had started making these stars as leader/Enders - but they were 9 1/2 inches.

I laid them out to see if I even liked the idea before cutting them down.... 

This is the first idea →

I wasn't completely in love...

I kept playing and decided I liked them in a diagonal - that way it looked like it was intentional.. ( you buy that right?)

Then I trimmed the stars down to 8 1/2 inches and got to stitching

Voila - a 64 x 72 inch Quilt of Valor top. I have one Red and one Blue crumb block left. I think those are called *seeds* as you know more block may grow.... haha
