YouTube Improv: Crumb Quilting Adventure - 3

I'm continuing with making crumb pieces that will eventually turn into blocks following Darlene's directions.

Crumb Quilting Adventure - Making More Crumb Quilt Blocks | Ep. 3


Notes:
  • Sew two strips together and then add that to pieces
  • Add partly done sections to each other
  • If the piece is longer, then just add the length that is needed.  After sewing cut off the extra.
  • Move the piece of fabric so not as much of the larger fabric is showing or/and sew fabric to the piece and then cut so you end up with a two-piece unit of fabric. Try to plan these cuts so you end up with a usable piece of fabric.
  • You just need one straight edge to join - use the straight edge as the sewing guide.
  • When doing the final trim with the ruler, watch where the seams at the edge are and try to plan so you end up with a piece large enough to use in another block.





Here are three of the blocks Darlene finished and shared on episode 3.





And another view after I did more joining:





Now I'm going to work on getting some of the larger pieces of fabric so they are smaller.  Here are my first two blocks:


Moving on to episode 4 in Darlene's Crumb Quilting Adventure Series!
