Back in February i showed you the crumb top that i had pieced....with 4,979 pieces. here is the post with all the particulars. http://www.brunerwoman.blogspot.com/2012/02/crumb-quilt-top-is-pieced.html
I have it quilted....woohoo! i didn't want it to lay around in the cabinet forever and had a free couple of days on the machine....so i got it out and finished it up. that sucker is large.
There were many months of making 5" blocks with very small pieces.
I am so happy to have this all finished.
I quilted it with a variegated King Tut thread...in fact ran out of thread about a foot from the bottom and just switched to another variegated and you can't really tell the difference. i used the clamshell designs from Quiltazoid to quilt it. And i ran out of green thread on the bottom, too so just used another green.
This was really a 'use it up' quilt.....fabric pieces, thread, batting, and even backing. i started out piecing fat quarters for the back and soon ran out of those.....so then cut some that were 18"x17" and used those for every other row. the backing has 33 different fabrics....more stash busting. this is the top of the backing..
And this is the bottom of the backing. for the binding i just cut strips that were left over from the backing.
I am still saving the little pieces that i have left over from projects but won't be piecing another crumb quilt any time soon. but i feel one in my future.....later....much...
