I have gotten more done than I thought I had…I’m not terribly crazy about my color choices for this Grandmother’s Choice BOW. I am going fabric shopping Thursday, to see if I can find some fabrics to add. My fabric choices just blend too much for my taste.
I actually have all of the blocks completed except for about 8 more. After that, I will begin to embellish them…the fun part.
My crumb block quilt! Now this was fun! I purposely left off the borders on two sides, but am now considering putting “broken borders” on those two sides-sporadic chunks of crumb blocks and the tan border fabric. I will make that final decision very soon.
Hey! I know those kids!
I agree…Grandma needs some pizzazz. Think Madelyn… 🙂
Yeah…this gramma still has teeth and can swallow. Not ready for bland. lol
any suggestions? other than starting over? lol
Gold maybe?
You mean cheddar? lol
No….I mean gold…little more yellow. Although I love me some cheddar!
Alright. I will see what I can find. The blocks all look the same. 😦
Adorable children.

awe…thank you. I love my grand babies.
I have one rose among all the thorns (as my gramma once said about her first great granddaughter).
Love your Crumb Quilt! How will you embellish the blocks? This whole ’embellished crumbs’ business is intriguing… lol
Those kiddos are cute! 🙂
Well…the Keepsake quilt will be embellished with her ruffles and buttons and bows and other trims pulled from Kate’s baby clothes. And I will be doing some embroidery stitches on those too.
The crumb quilt (the quilt with the tan border) could be embellished too but I plan on donating the quilt to me and my sister’s Veteran’s quilt project. I will likely just stipple on that one because of the many tiny seams.
I got the idea from a blog called Quiltville’s Quips and Snips. Bonnie does scrap quilts. Has great ideas and shares a lot. And she has a mystery quilt beginning Nov 23rd. Called Easy Street.
Looks like you have been very busy. I bet those little ones provide lots of extra challenges. Great work!
Thanks. I need to begin to prioritize some though. I have too many projects in too many stages.
Amen! I hear you. That’s exactly the status of my projects. Waaaaay too many in progress. It’s fun though. 🙂
Looking good!
Love your crumb quilt – your border idea is what I am sorta thinking about for my Modern Monday quilt.
Kids are adorable!
I love to make the crumb blocks. I don’t like to be wasteful at $10-$12 a yard, right?
or at $24/meter as it is here in Australia.
