12½ inch block
My fascination with crumbs continue. Remember that pile of what I really call crumbs that was leftover from the last block?
Yep, used a bunch of them in this block. I had seen the idea of using adding machine tape to paper piece strips. However, I wanted my strips to be different widths to use smaller pieces. So I winged it without the paper then trimmed edges so I could sew the strips together. The block grew until I could trim out a 12½ inch block.
It is odd that I had bought at a yard sale about 4 rolls of adding machine tape for about 25¢ each with no real purpose in mind.

Now I AM getting down mostly to a pile of threads that will have to go inside a pillow!
