With the weather outside this morning being windy and cooler I decided to spend the morning on another set of crumb quilting squares. I discovered two long strips of squares (2.5") which were obviously coordinating but not exactly the same so I decided to add what I could to make another set of six squares. I started by dismantling the strips into the closest measure to ten inches, the final size I wanted for my finished squares. Next, I cut strips from a piece of a green fabric which featured a country side landscape with flowers and animals and stitched them onto one side of six of the 10+ strips. I then, stitched another piece of the original ones next to it. I needed to add about 4" to what I had so I could trim out a 10" square. I dug through my little stash of crumb scraps and found the brown and pink floral fabric of which I had enough to add a strip to each of the pieces I had already stitched together. I then played with what was remaining of the original strips deconstructing and adding a floral pink fabric to make up the 4" that I needed. I trimmed them all to 10" and have another set of six squares for quilting with. It is interesting to me that this set also has a pink and green theme with brown thrown in as well. These ones look much more quilted because of the originals strips I started with. Therese
