January is red month...red blocks

Yesterday, I worked on red blocks. I pulled out my red scraps and and made some little 9 patches and one string block. 

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.
