How to Make A Crumb Quilt From Fabric Scraps

I just LOVE quilts and especially this one!  If you’re anything like me, I just hate to throw away fabric scraps.  I found this quilt tutorial and was glad I hung onto them!  I don’t have to buy any fabric!  I just knew that there was a reason I kept these scraps!  I have a drawer in my sewing room where I throw all small pieces that might normally be thrown away. This drawer holds things like the triangles I snip off when joining lengths of binding on the diagonal…..little pieces left from rotary cutting that are too small to be a strip, square, or rectangle…end pieces of seamed “strip sets” where I couldn’t get another “complete” unit out of them….Anything too short to be considered a “string”.

I live in Texas and it’s scorching hot outside, so it seemed like a pretty good day to sit in the basement and play with my sewing machine!  As I went through some of my fabrics it took me down memory lane, since many of my scraps are from clothes I made for my little girl and now she’s all grown up and gone.  I’m so sentimental!
