Making fabric out of pieces has become my absolute passion! It’s fun to watch others techniques making crumb quilts! I am loving this method you’re showing. I do a long strip and sew pieces on making for a mosaic of very small pieces. I sew…. Cut…… sew…. lol! It’s so much cheaper than therapy as all my friends save their scraps for me! Most of my quilts are donations which makes my heart dance! ❤
These are my favorite videos, other peoples scraps and crumbs. Love it. Those all stripes in one direction, I’ll cut them into 2” , 3” strips for even scrappier
Looks like simple, comfortable sewing of nothing into something. Very soothing and exciting to see fabric come out of what some throw away. Great share 😊
This is also my favorite block making! Spent 3 hours pressing, next is cut one side straight. These are really scrappy blocks. Sometimes I even have triangles! Anything over 1 1/2 inch is fair game😊
That ruler is awesome when doing french braid sections, you can cut straignt edge, turn and get a 45°, out of a 2 1/2" e.g. strip, lay 2 strips right sides together for equal numbers of left and right side pieces. The angles go outside to get a section with no cut offs. Decide on a size and cut out a scrappy quilt? Separate your left and rights into 2 piles,,,, Get sewing and cut sections to length later... sew the last triangle at the bottom section of the first one with partial seams. Have fun!
selvages usually do not shrink. The rest of the cotton fabric shrinks 1% to 5% depending on the quality. You trim the selvage cause it does not shrink so it would create wrinkles or puckers in the end product
I mostly agree with WhereWendy, but I have seen Selvages shrink more than the rest of the fabric in some brands. When you really, really need that extra fabric in the selvage, you can nip the selvage in the seam allowance at a 90 degree angle from the seam to break the ‘seal’, I do this every 1/2” or so. This prevents the selvages from rippling in the quilt. As a long arm quilters, I sometimes have the nip the selvages when customers bring backings with the selvage still on in the seam for the back of a quilt, but the seam allowance is too small to lose that fabric.
Just found your channel because I always like seeing what others do with scraps. Sadly, im not finding the continuation I thought you said would come "next month"?
Working on it now, unexpected delays. So sorry. It is almost done. I am having fun with it, but very surprised how complex the sewing is with so many different shapes and sizes. It is really looking great.
I do a lot of EPP sewing so this means I have a lot of different shapes with my left overs m not all straight edged . How would you prepare these as with all sides. Ding cut it means pieces could be very small to sew
You can use “inchies”. Meaning anything an inch or larger. I cut to have straight edges. Currently working on a real scrappy to make one large sheet of fabric. I am then thinking of cutting it into squares bordering the squares and putting them back together on point.
That sounds good . I have tonight just finished an 11 month project EPP with hexies . There were over 3000 hexies in the quilt , which measures 7x 7 ft. It is very heavy I must say . I put wadding behind each hexie rather than one big piece at the end . I had to take it to a long arm quilter for get it quilted as it was both to heavy for me to move about and to sew easy. It is very colourful . I did it in liberty fabric mainly. And it’s mainly shades of pink . . The two ladies that quilted it for me both loved it. I have tonight just finished the bias binding around the edges . The ladies kindly sewed one side in for me , and I have just finished it by hand . It turned out nicer than I expected . I would like to try your method for something different. So will make that my next project . I have plenty of small pieces of material . Sorry in my original message have. O idea what ding is , thst must be auto correct so sorry . I will keep watching your channel for more ideas . Thank you again

Yes, I like to put them on point too. Excellent fun
My favorite kind of quilting. No planning and no stress.
Yes, just fun 🤩
Thank you for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the method i use to do my quits, pouches, placemats, etc....thanks for sharing your techniques...
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching my friend

Thank you! 😊
I can do this for hours. It's like getting 'free' fabric
Me too. And me too🎊🎉🎊
This is also my favorite block making! Spent 3 hours pressing, next is cut one side straight. These are really scrappy blocks. Sometimes I even have triangles! Anything over 1 1/2 inch is fair game😊
Yes! I am excited. I use larger pieces first then cut them up and add little ones. Happy sewing
Awesome and true. Thank you my friend
Greetings from New Zealand. This is wonderful, you just got started and got on with it. I love that.
Wow, thank you. Welcome 🤗
I love making scrappy blocks. very fun and relaxing to stitch. They usually wind up being dog blankets or similar.
Oh cool! Yes, lots of fun and ideas

Thank you, thank you. Incredible rulers. Happy quilting
I love this too! cant wait to use up my scraps.
Yay! Thank you!
I was told to remove the salvages because when washed they shrink. Do you agree?

@@WhereWendyCreatesclipping the selvage solves all rebukes of its use.
@@notesfromleisa-land very true
