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.
This can also be the world's most advanced I Spy quilt. hahaha ...... paw prints
A 1 inch santa
A 2" snowman. looking for a 1/2" light green triangle...why, there's one right there.
A chick....there is also a dog and a pig and i think a cow in this quilt somewhere. more leftovers from something.
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.
