"blueberry crumble" - a quilt top

A little crumb progress over the past few days,
totally inspired by @afullenglish and @laurie3.14








With this next batch of 10" blocks,
I started to experiment a bit more with my fabric choices & combos.
I mixed in mum's old bright pink apron,
a shirt from Mr D., and a shirting remnant from Leeanne from quiltmekiwi





Then I made up a few more blocks, slightly more restrained in colours, to scatter around the quilt



30 crumb blocks made and joined up together, 
 "blueberry crumble" quilt top done . . .




Linking up with Cyndy for 'oh scrap' here @ quiltingismorefunthanhousework
and with Kelly for 'needle and thread Thursday' here @myquiltinfatuation

Until next time, Linda

  4. This is so fun. I love the first picture with the yellow vase. It reminds me of some of the works and colors of Henri Matisse and some of the other impressionist painters. Here is one of my favorite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_in_a_Purple_Coat
