A Crumby Finish Up

 Well, the longarmers have come through, 

and the big crumb quilt is complete.


This quilt used up a large amount of beiges

for the lattice and large outside border.

A number of people who saw the quilt,

commented that a quilt entirely of 

beige strings would be lovely.


The low volume look is certainly attractive.

Each colour block of crumbs is 

framed by small border of gray.

Since all but a few small bits of the fabric 

was used for the block frames,


I had to scramble to find a matching gray for the binding.

My stash yielded a good match.

 The quilt was bound up at 

the last sew day of the year.


If you recall, I had to rework the framing of the blocks. 

 I'd gotten ahead of myself and edged the blocks completely 

before they were set into the quilt.


I am hoping this quilt remains a keeper.

I love how every different fold shows a different color. 


The look is really appealing and it really reinforces

my feeling that colour family blocks always look wonderful.


Did you catch a glimpse of the new floors?

Pardon Me While I Stash

 Ye,s a small treasure of legacy fabrics

A friend came into the sew morning with 

a cart in tow and we all helped her disperse the 

bounty. She was very grateful her 

quilter mom's fabric were off to be loved.

another 10 meters to the pile!
