I made three more of those for a total of nine, using all the big slabs I had put together.
Knowing that nine of these would make about a 30 inch square, and wanting to make a small baby quilt that would finish about 36 inches square, I started adding strips of gray and little crumb blocks around the outside.
And here's where this little project stands now. I just need to sew the rows together for a very colorful finish!

Wow, that little foray into your scrap crumbs turned out cute and bright! Enjoy the warm weather :-)
Oh I love this layout, so pretty and clever! Diann, you have so many good ideas!
You are so creative! I love the blocks and colors, so perfect against that wonderful Grunge. I see some orange HSTs photo-bombing there in the corner. ;)
What a wonderful idea! The grey really makes the blocks POP! I love it! Have a great day!
love all those colors with the gray
Your slabs are looking great with that gray for sure hugs, Julierose
What a great way to use those crumb slabs! They look great with the grey grunge, and the grey will hide baby messiness better than a white background would.
the border really makes it pop
That is SEW super cute, Diann!! LOVE the way you chose to expand the design into the borders to bring the quilt up to size. Good thinking!
LOVE. IT. !!! a great, creative and different use of your slabs. (and the grey is pretty fantastic, too!)
Oh how cute is that turning out! Makes me wish I had my scraps available to me right now!
A super good idea for slab blocks! Do you recall the name of Gray Grunge! Or is it just gray? I haven’t purchased much grunge, but I do like the looks of it. I don’t think my local quilt store has it!
Well, how fun is that?! It will make a sweet little baby quilt. Nice!
Cute use of crumbs. I like how the grey really makes those colors pop.
Gray is so "in" right now and the colors pop! Great use of scraps.
What a great quilt for a little!!! So many colors and patterns to explore!
That works! Very clever use of the small crumb blocks for this quilt. Your in the home stretch now!
Ooh, how pretty! The crumb blocks look like stained glass. Great idea to make small blocks for the edges.
Oh what a fun little quilt!! I like how the grey makes all the colors happy!
You definitely put those crumbs to good use!
Great job! Love the gray with the brights. Some little baby is going to love it!
Brilliant border idea Diann. I love it! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Love those pops of color with the grey. Very colorful and fun.
Very cute! Must get my crumb blocks out from last years RSC. Your plan makes great sense to me! Wonderful quilt.
