A while back I found some packets of blocks in a basket on my sewing table. In one of the packets were these leftover blocks from previous projects. The blocks were a few 4.5 inches square, 5.5 inches square, and 6.5 inches square measurements. Today I added some strips to the smaller blocks to make them 6.5 inches square then I added them to my crumb block bin. These little blocks have been shuffled around on my sewing table for a few weeks. I decided that today would be the day I would work with them and make them measure 6.5 inches square so they would work well with my other crumb blocks.
As I was going through my crumb blocks bin I found several groupings of blocks with notes attached to them. I guess the last time I had them out at our LAFS meeting some ladies pulled the blocks with a common color or fabric into groupings. I laughed as I sorted through these blocks. I was revisiting some of the fabrics that I had used in these blocks and also who might have given me the fabric in some of the blocks. It was like visiting with old friends.
I also have sewn together two baby quilts this week, one a pink one and one a blue one. When someone comes over who can hold up these quilts I will get pictures of them to post. I am waiting for a friend to let me know what gender her daughter-in-law's baby is so I can hold on to either the pink one or the blue one. If she decides to wait until the baby is born, then I guess I need to hold on to them both until November!
Happy Quilting

Your crumb blocks are so fun! What a good idea to bring them all up to the same size - more useful that way. Yes, they're like a memory quilt, aren't they? Fun to remember who gave the to you, or where you bought them or even what quilt you made with those fabrics.
Can't wait to see the pix of the baby quilts. It sounds like you've been busy!
