Crumbs!!

My Crumbs quilt finished!! Yippie...I love this scrappy story quilt.Story quilt you say? Well there are so many bits from so many different quilts that it kinda tells a story.
I finished the top back here and said I did a pieced backing made up of orphaned blocks, ninepatches and odd bits and pieces.
I wrote on the label (a left over Dresden Plate block) about the process, the fact that there are 225, 3 1/2" blocks.I also used one in each corner of the border.
Also on the label I wrote 'Can you see a car, guitar, scissor and more etc. etc...this should make it fun to look at.




Here is the back in all its glory!! I really do love this, I feel like I've truly recycled.

I think I'll have to send some pics to Bonnie Hunter...


thanks Bonnie for sharing this fabulous idea.

    Love the backing, of course the front is wonderful too! I made a crumb quilt a few years back, they are fun and grow really fast. Great idea of making it an 'I Spy' with things to search for.
