Ta-Da!! after 18 months and a couple spools of thread....the crumb top is complete...it MIGHT get quilted next month...or not.
I've been saving all my tiny pieces and when i got a bowl full....i sit and chain stitch them all together and make 5" blocks.
I had about 510 blocks but wound up not using them all. it grew pretty quickly.
I wish i knew how many different fabrics are in here....but i don't have that info. probably hundreds.
I added a 5 inch border so i could put 4 more blocks in the corners.
For you statisticians:
95 x 108 inches
set 19 x 22 blocks
total blocks used = 432
block size = 5" square
least number of pieces in a block = 5
most pieces in a block = 26
average number of pieces per row = 223
total number of pieces = 4,979
And i have about 70 blocks left over to start the next crumb quilt. which will be....much..
