Oh SusieQOH: Yes, you do want to know because they are fun also. Mind you doing strings is a little bit easier. Crumbs are your smallest pieces and of course that is subjective. I just went and got my flimsy and measured, a lot of my pieces are 3" x 2" or 1" by at the most 4". Crumbs embrace every shape but mine are almost all straight edges, I am still young at sewing so not really confident to use curves but I have tried to put in diagonals. I was given a bunch of scraps and last Christmas I was recovering from the flu. I had been working on a BOM and was afraid to continue with it as I knew I really didn't have too many brain cells active soooo, I just started putting these scraps together with nothing much in mind until I had a handful of squares and realized I should/could actually do something with them. I trimmed them to 6 1/2", used a small green and white check for sashing (1"finished) with a darker cornerstone. I have been very surprised at the response I have had, everyone likes it. I am going to try (again) to post pictures. I need to learn to do this. If you have any more questions I am happy to try to answer.

Thank you, Kelsie! Could you post a pic?

Kelsie

SusieQOH: My apologies. Surgery and life have gotten in the way. I went and got the camera out the other day and dead batteries. I did try to post before but couldn't get it to work. Busy for the next couple days but I have not forgotten.

SusieQOH

Kelsie- no worries! Hope you're on the mend. That's the important thing

This new computer does not like our camera but perhaps it will work

Kelsie

The rust border at the top will be put on all around. Can anyone tell me why Louise is sideways and how do I fix/prevent it?

SusieQOH

Kelsie, that is beautiful!!! The only thing I know is to right click and when it says view image it comes up the right way. I use a mac- not sure if it works on a PC or not.
Thanks so much for remembering to post it. I love it

Kelsie

No SusieQ it didn't give me that option.

SusieQOH has one solution which used to work for me. Now I have to right click on it. Then a box comes up that says "open in new tab" Then I have to find that new tab in the bar above, click on that and it comes in right side up.

This is another one of t he scrappy quilt blocks I want to do. I have a sit and sew coming up next week maybe this is what I will do to do up some of my scraps. I have seen some nice string quilt blocks before. Your colors are great! I love seeing someone loving my favorite colors -.
