After playing with green scraps this week I'll add a pot holder made with two 8.5" green crumb blocks made last week, two scrappy batik 6" x 10" mug rugs and two 8.5" crumb blocks that I'll turn into a pot holder next week. I added some colorful crumbs from precious months to make these blocks.
My crumb blocks are made by sewing scrappy crumbs on four 2.5" x 8.5" pieces of paper with a very narrow stitch width. After the strips are trimmed and the paper removed, I sew them together to make the crumb block. I make two blocks for each pot holder.
To see what others made with their green scraps, go here Saturday morning.
I finished piecing the tumblers cut from scraps during the 2013 RSC and they are now a tumbler quilt top. I've also pieced the backing. Hopefully I'll find time to start quilting it next week.

Your method of 'crumb' piecing is a perfect way to manage those scraps with a lovely finish.
Pretty green crumbs! I can't wait to see your tumbler quilt!
Lovely batik scraps. Congratulations on the tumbler quilt. Finishes are so much fun.
Your collections always look so wonderful. What do you do with all those pot holders??
Again wonderful use of greens.
You are paper piecing - just without a pattern. Hurray!
Love your placemats. I'm thinking some crumb piecing would be theraputic. I could use some therapy.
Looking forward to light blues. How about you?
Hugs
I'm always impressed that you make something out of your crumbs each week. But I must say I wonder what you do with all those pot holders. LOL
Well done on finishing off the tumblers. Let us see a photo of it soon please?
They are all so pretty, Sheila. I especially like the batik mug rugs - just beautiful
Great way to get those crumbs made into something useful. The mug rugs are lovely in the batik scraps.
Love the mug rugs. Isn't it fun to do a quick binding project? They look great.
Those crumb blocks are fun no matter what color you do them in! Kudos on getting the tumblers set into a top.
I love your batik mug rugs! And I marvel at your crumbs!
My greens will be playing into June I think. I still need to finish off a few things.Your greens are looking great- as always.
Thanks for explaining how you make your crumb blocks. Sounds simple enough for even me to try!
Such great greens - mug rugs and pot holders are ALWAYS useful!
