Crumb Stars- Second Draft

This is the fabric I really want to use for my crumb quilt- it's the Japanese import cotton from SF that I mentioned in my last post about this project. I only have a yard of it so I have to make the smallest size, 40x48 inches.  That's still a decent throw size for me so that's ok.

I like this one a lot better than the solid navy; the geometric pattern is subtle enough to provide some texture and interest without competing with the crumb blocks. So I went ahead and cut up the yard into the strips I need. Feeling confident!

I may also be done making crumb blocks for this project; I have about 31 made and need 76 diamonds for the project but I can often re-stitch the scraps from a block into new blocks. That's the beauty and the curse of crumb quilting; it's a constantly renewable resource, but you can never use it up. Lol.
