How to Make a One Color Crumb Quilt Block

Anything beyond these longer strips and bigger pieces is what quilters like to call crumbs. And sewing those crumbs together you can make crumb blocks.

Step 1: Sort your fabric scraps by color

I try to find pieces that are similar in size. Then line them up, right sides to right sides with a shared edge.

Step 3: Chain piece the crumbs together

I use a scant ¼” seam when I’m doing these. Learn more

When I feel like I have enough pieces together, I cut the thread.

Each time I add a crumb to another piece, I take them to my wool pressing mat and press the seams with my iron to one side. This just helps keep everything flat and easier to work with.
