If you're a quilter looking to make the most of your fabric scraps, crumb quilting offers a creative and sustainable solution. Sarah Erickson's tutorial, Crumb Quilting 101: Turning Crumbs into Quilts, provides valuable insights into transforming even the smallest fabric pieces into beautiful quilt blocks.
What is Crumb Quilting?
Crumb quilting involves sewing together small, irregular fabric scraps—often referred to as "crumbs"—to create new, usable fabric pieces. This technique not only minimizes waste but also results in unique, colorful quilt blocks that add character to any project.
Getting Started with Crumb Quilting:
To begin, gather your fabric scraps, regardless of their shape or size. Start by sewing two pieces together, then continue adding more scraps, pressing seams as you go. Once your crumb fabric reaches the desired size, you can trim it to fit your quilt design.
Creative Possibilities:
Crumb quilting allows for endless creativity. You can experiment with color combinations, fabric textures, and block layouts to create a quilt that's truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you incorporate crumb blocks into a larger quilt or create an entire quilt from crumbs, the result is a testament to resourcefulness and artistic expression.
