Love your quilt and especially love how you put snowball blocks in there. I think it breaks up the crumb blocks and makes it look lovely.

You did a great job in salvaging a problem project. The quilt has an antique look to it. Your daughter knows a treasure when she sees one.

What a great and ingenious save. I really like the twisted snowball blocks, as that really brings it all together.

This is awesome. I'm glad you added the snowball blocks, genius.

Here is the twisted snowball block:

I am not a creative crumb maker. I found some paper-pieced ideas and copied them onto that clear "wash away" film with a black sharpie. Then I paper pieced the crumbs on to the film. Then washed it away. I hate tearing paper off crumb blocks. I am so lazy.

Here is one of the many boxes of winding ways orphans:

No, I sewed 5 rows together (about 20") by 120". Added batting (22" x 124"), added backing by splitting a 124" of quilting fabric on the fold line to get 2 pieces of backing 22" x 124". Then I sandwiched this section and quilted it on my sashiko machine. I washed and dried each section in my laundry machines. Then sewed each of the 6 sections together.....by sewing the tops together, trimming the batting to match, and handsewing the backing to cover the seam and match the backing. ( a little more complicated than that, but I don't want to bore you with the details). But I did not sew the pieces onto batting or backing. It looked like a regular flimsey, just in strips so I could handle this king sized monster). But thanks for asking......Jane Q
