Crumb King

This is the second crumb quilt I made in this time period....i finished piecing this one on May 10, 2015.  Back then, I was making large bed quilts...this one is 100 x 120.  a monster thing. don't ask me why....i have no idea. haha  It is so large, it won't even fit on my stand without dragging on the floor.  i have probably a dozen more large quilts in the cabinet to be quilted.

My crumb blocks back then were 5"

I put an X in each block and in the border.  I used leftover pieces for the binding.

Even the corners got a crumb block.

While I was quilting, I found little embroidery patches....here is a wreath...I also saw a candy cane and a snowman. I think these came from some tiny (1.5") designs i was embroidering many years ago and never did anything with, so they wound up in the crumb blocks.

Here is an embroidered angel. Don't you love how I just sewed around them to add them to the block. haha

And here is the snowman. I see there are bits of strings that i missed. I can't tell you how many strings I pulled while quilting this thing.

The back is a peachy colored fabric.

It wasn't quite large enough, so i had to add to it. the beige was the closest match i had.

Used Glide Bright Yellow for the top and Bottom Line Statue for the bobbin.
