Modern Crumbs - 38 x 48
Around the time I was finishing up the Flora's Fans quilt I actually said out loud at a guild meeting that I would not make any more crumb blocks. Within 2 weeks I was sewing together the feedsack scraps into crumb blocks....as usual!

I took my inspiration from the modern quilts and set my crumb blocks into blocks using old sugar sack fabrics. I had picked up a stack of old sugar sacks from eBay or somewhere and was just waiting for the perfect project. I love the faded prints from the sacks mixed in with the feed sack blocks. I quilted this one with parallel straight lines. This is going to be my TV quilt. It's the perfect size to drape over my legs without getting hung up in the ottoman or in the way of whatever project pile I have nearby.
