You are probably right and that is what I have been using. I just need to get it closer to my machine! :-)

kwhite - the blocks you are making are great. Good job.
K3n, Thanx for reminding me where the tute was - I'd misplaced that link. I have a big bag (that's getting bigger) to try scrap blocks. Someday! Or when the bag won't hold anymore??

I did cut 3.5 inch pieces of paper and found it to be easier to decide where to cut when I had that. So I just need to relax and stop over thinking the blocks. I am just so OCD about bits and pieces and want not to waste a thread.

Love the block and the embroidered kitty block is adorable. I think you did an awesome job.

K, thanks for the link, now I have something to do with those tiny scraps I don't know what to do with.

I am a relative quilting novice and have never heard of crumbing. Does it have to do with the beautiful border around your embroidery? That border frames your work beautifully!

Yes crumbing is the method of making the scrappy blocks around the center. You just take any crumb of fabric you have and sew it to another then another until you have a big enough piece to square up into a block.
