Crumb Quilt Free Patterns
1. Crumb Colorful Heart Quilt
Create Whimsy’s heart-shaped crumb quilt is a good way to bring together small pieces of fabric that may be too short for other projects. You can combine different colors and prints to build the heart without worrying about matching every piece.
2. Crumb Quilt Mug Mat
Instead of making a full-size quilt, use the crumb technique on a smaller project like this mug mat from Crafty Staci. Small fabric scraps are joined together to create the patchwork surface, so you don’t need large cuts of fabric.
3. Quilted Placemats
Becky from Patchwork Posse uses crumb-style patchwork to make these placemats from leftover fabric. Since each section can contain different colors and prints, you can mix pieces from several old projects in one place.
4. Crumb Quilt Heart Ornament
This free Aunt Em’s Quilts pattern turns crumb-pieced fabric into a small heart-shaped ornament. You can use it as a cute key charm or zipper pull. A video tutorial is available to show you how to make it.
5. Scrap Fabric Mug Rug
Here’s another mind-blowing quilt project from Becky’s collection. It’s a customizable mug rug, so you can arrange the colors around a particular theme or simply use whatever pieces you have on hand.
