    I love that you found a use for the shreds and trimmings of fabric projects. I've always thrown mine away because I didn't think they'd ever have any use, but now I want to try the scrappy birds nest on interfacing idea.

    I did like the square that included the blue fabric. I know it wasn’t what you were going for, but the camera ( and I) thought it looked good. What a creative idea you are working. Bravo!

    Very colorful and fun! I’m going to try to make a quilt for my autistic grandson! Thank you for the video and also to the one woman who made a comment that suggested using tulle over the one stringy block to hold it in tact. I think I might use bright, colorful metallic threads too.

      Good luck with the quilt for your grandson, should be a fun quilt to make! I really need to get back to making more of these fidget quilt blocks. I got side tracked on other projects for a bit.

    Like the end result of the fused fabrics!

    I do these for nursing homes and Veterans homes but they have more tactile blocks. Strings, beads, buttons, cuffs from shirts and anything that I can attach firmly. Must make them to be washed and dried often. I use flannels, corduroy and polyester fabrics.

    Using tulle over it and then sewing is the way to go I have been doing this technique for years children love to run their fingers around it ! Keep up the good work😍😇

      I would love to try this with a layer of tulle. Maybe even ripping the tulle in parts would look cool.

    Wonderfully creative way to use those unusable scraps! I would prefer to see the small rectangles in a vertical column on a larger piece of batik, more so for an art piece.

    • @mostlyquilts1386
      @mostlyquilts1386  3 роки тому +1

      Ya, it feels more art piece to me too. Thanks for your input!

    • @PossumLady8262

      My autistic grandson likes order…lol, so I would definitely place the rectangles in neat rows.

    I think the concept here is texture and movement. Color and design are secondary to tactile function. Knubby fabrics could be utilized also. You also need washability if its really to be handled a lot.

    Years ago, I watched a video similar to your idea, using a tulle to cover the bits of fabric, then sewn...BUT then the tulle ironed off, leaving a neat creation! Also, I believe one is to not use water or steam when using fusible...but that could be also the 'type' of fusible... love your little squares!

      I really want to try tulle. Perhaps I’ll do that for episode three.

    Make fold those narrow trimming to make tabs and sew on edge of something. Fidget tabs

    My friend makes those for nursing homes. She puts zippers on it, many things and they are on the soft fabric she makes pray blankets out of.

    To prevent the risk of your iron sticking to the interfacing, use a pressing cloth, piece of scrap fabric or silicone pressing mat.

    If you add tule over the top it works great.

    You need a Teflon sheet to protect your iron.
