Today, I made 4 flower blocks. I'm making this flower quilt out of the Easy Quilt magazine. I'll be working on this quilt this year and I'll be using scraps to make it. I did buy the yellow fabric for the center of the flower but I plan to use scraps for all the other flowers.
I was thinking about making some scrap blocks too. What are they called? Oh, yeah, crumbs...Do you use a foundation to make these or just start sewing crumbs together? Can you use paper or should it be fabric? I haven't done any of the crumb blocks yet but I have some crumbs that I want to try. With the cost of fabric now, I think it would be good to use up all the fabric I have.
Here's my pile of red fabrics, it didn't go down at all, so I'll be making a few more blocks out of my reds.

Wow, that's a lot of red fabric! Those flower blocks are so sweet!
Looking great!
That's a lot of lovely red, and some great blocks from it! No background on the little pieces, just sew them together and square up at the end, if you need to.
I love your collection of red blocks! Nine patches are hard to beat of course:) But those flower blocks are great. There are some great tutorials for crumb quilting. Bonnie has one(http://quiltville.com/crumbs.shtml), but I also love mile a minute blocks because they seem a little more structured and seem to go faster (http://patchworkpie.blogspot.com/2008/06/mile-minute-quilt.html). Have fun!
