I started this quilt project in 2016
as part of that year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
At long last, it is completely finished.
Colorful Crumbs measures 48" wide x 56" long.
Here it is looking from the other end.
The quilting motifs were inspired by photos in
Cindy Griselda's Artful Improv book.
If you look closely at the Baptist Fans in the colorful rows,
you can see that I started with the green row
but shifted to my own more curvy version in the other rows.
I also started out using a ruler for the black and white rows
with linear stitching -- but that lasted for 1.5 rows.
I put the ruler away and went with
what Angela Walters calls "straight-ish" lines.
They seemed to fit the scrappy nature of the quilt
more than the precise ruler-guided lines.
The backing fabric came from Sew Many Ideas in Jackson, TN.
I bought it long before I knew how I'd use it -
just because it was such a bright and happy mix of colors.
Needless to say, I am delighted to have this one completed.

p.s. for some unknown reason,
NONE of yesterday's comments

hopefully Google/Blogger fix this problem ASAP.

A gorgeous quilt, front to back. Love all the little scraps combined into strips. And the quilting is super. Thanks for sharing.

I love how you put this quilt together with the white and black fabric in between the rows. It looks so great that way. Congrats on a wonderful finish!!
Lovely colour, as always, but funnily enough the first thing I thought was how much I liked your curvy quilting!
A riot of color, both front and back. LOVE it!!!
Wonderful finish! Those little bits together into strips, so special and unique. Well done!!
Another beauty, Julie. I love all of the texture and color. And I haven't gotten any comments emailed, either. Not sure how to respond to people! I really hope they fix this soon.
Awesome scrap buster quilt. You did an excellent job with the quilting too as I love the more method. ;^)
I am having the same problem with not getting comments to come in to my email. Glad I'm not the only one! Your scrappy crumbs quilt is beautiful!

Your quilt turned out lovely.
Lovely quilt! Glad you finished it.
Thanks, Terri!
Thank you -- I like the mix of black and whites -- a little unexpected but it definitely works.
Thanks, Kaja -- I like the curvier BF look better the more I look at it.
Thanks, Joy -- it is definitely a fun quilt.
Thanks, Ivani -- lots of good memories in some of those little bits.
Thanks, Mari -- seems LOTS of us are having the comments/email problem.
Thank you, Chantal -- there's a bit more quilting thread on this one than I'd like but it works for this quilt and I learned a lot by doing it.
Thanks, Diane -- lots of us are having issues with the comments/email.
Thanks, Frederique -- I agree about "nearly straight' and "straight-ish" lines.
Thanks, Karen -- it makes me smile, too.
Thanks, Kathy -- This one is a rainbow quilt and then some!
Thanks, Susan -- hard not to love this one since it is just SO happy.
Thanks, Pamela!
Thanks, Linda -- I always intended to finish it. It just took longer than I expected to get around to the quilting part.
Your colorful quilts are always a cheerful sight. All those little crumbs came together perfectly.
How wonderful to see it completely finished! I love this bright, happy, scrappy quilt with Baptist fans and straightish lines. I'm also not receiving my comments via email. If you figure out how to fix that, please let us all know how!
Love the quilt Julie and your quilting! I'm having the same problem re comment notification so going back to embedded in order to not miss comments.
An amazing accomplishment! I love this RSC quilt! Makes me want to run over to my scrap boxes and start sewing!
Thanks, Kyle - I like that the crumbs are out where they can be used and enjoyed.
Thank you, Louise! I understand Blogger is working on a solution -- ALL of us will be glad when they release it.
Thanks, Maureen -- embedded won't necessarily help. Blogger has a bigger issue related to the GDPR changes.
Wow - thanks, Kathy. GREAT comment!
