    Here's my newly finished quilt top, using the crumb blocks I made. (And keep making!) :lol: The original mini blocks are 4x4" unfinished. I used 4 to make a 7 1/4" unfinished block ( there is more cutaway for squaring up, due to the small size of the crumbs). Then I sewed the blocks into 8 piece columns. Basically, each column is 7 1/4" wide, and about 56" tall. I will do the same, Sashiko-style stitching on this that I did on my last one, and I may use a flannel piece for the back. It will be a WARM quilt, as it is already heavy, due to all the little pieces.
