    Yes, I keep a stack of crumb blocks going in various stages of completion. They are mindless! Gives me a feeling of squeezing every cent worth of $ spent for fabric! Love making these little guys!

    Am heading for a wall-hanging with an applique flower on each block to kinda calm it down. At least that's what's in my head right now. Will post if ever completed!

    Nice! The circles are excellent for these blocks! Also, your applique is perfect! Please post the final 'product'. I'd love to see it.

    there are crazy quilts like Victorian crazy quilts with silk, velvet, etc. And then there are cotton crazy quilts which are like crumb quilts.

    here is an antique one I used to have.

    I do crumbs as leaders and enders when I'm working on other projects do I'm always doing a crumb quilt.

    Love that dragon fly. I'd never thought of that before. You guys are so creative.

    ptquilts, It's beautiful and I like the scalloped edges. I'll never forget the 1st crazy quilt I saw in person. It was backed with black velvet.
