How to Crumb Quilt for Beginners:
Step 1
Get a good combination of strips, trimmed pieces, and smaller pieces of fabric, then lay out the longest strip you have horizontally on your work surface, and place a row of assorted square or vertical rectangles on top of the strip.
Step 2
One by one, bring the fabric down and over the strip so their right sides are facing, then pin them in place, and stitch them together making sure to remove the pins as you go. Keep adding more pieces until you reach the end of the strip, then cut them apart using a ruler for more precision, and press them open.
Step 3
Make a different set of crumb strips using different colors, then sub-cut them into strips with straight edges, and press them open. Combine the two sets of strips using the same piecing method, then match the pieces of similar width, and keep adding pieces until you get the desired size.
