Crumb Quilt - #29 September

I have had this crumb quilt quilted for a while.  I just needed to put the binding on to have it completed and off of the to do list.

I used a solid for the most visible part of the binding and a flannel for the piped part of the binding.  I thought the flannel would slip and slide too much to be the most visible part of the binding.  It seemed to work out fine to use flannel for the piping.

Although it was a long time ago, I do remember that I did not trim after each seam when I was created the four and a half unfinished crumb squares.  That made bulky seams in the blocks.  The quilting machine would bounce around the bulk because the hopping foot is only set so high.  Since learning that, I have been trimming more of the excess out from behind the crumb blocks.  Although I haven't gotten anything with this small of crumbs to the quilting machine lately, hopefully it will work better.

I took this quilt for show n tell at the Quilt By Association guild last night.  Although I like the crumb quilts, I do not think they are show stoppers.  But guild members were very kind and said nice things about my crumb quilt.  Maybe they were just impressed that I brought a show n tell item!
