I’m an absolute beginner quilter, and I love this video! I love that you showed and explained everything step by step and very clear. This will be a perfect project for all my sewing scraps. 🧡
The newspaper is key. When yu try this type of random piecing, like crazy quilting, without a tear away foundation, over running the piece underneath becomes an issue, but by being able to tear away and trim, well, it makes all the difference. Thanks so much for the video.
If you use interfacing instead of paper for the foundation, you can leave the interfacing in place - which would give more stability to the block when it is incorporated into the final project, whilst adding a little bit more weight.
The paper does need to come off at some point. Some people keep it on until it gets sewn into a quilt. I prefer to take mine off right away. Hope that helps

Great tutorial. Thank you. I am confused about one thing (I’m a quilting newbie, sorry.) What did you do with the paper on the back? Did you leave it there or did you pull it out? Thanks.

I’m 2 min in and I feel like I’ve already learned so much!
I wasxlooking for improv videos. I came upon yours. Great video! Explained very well. Thank-you.

How fun! I go back and forth between saving crumbs and getting overwhelmed and tossing them. This looks like a more sensible way to use them.
They used to call those little scraps cabbage!

I love this! This is exactly how I do mine, except is use a fabric foundation; and love the results!! I think I’ll give the paper a try. TFS!
Really cute block…like the idea of using a 5-sided piece to begin with…makes it much more interesting.. ..
This was a fantastic video. I learned so much from you and now I’m going to make some blocks out of my scraps! Thank you!!!
Well happy scrapping!!
I could listen to you talk all day, Rana!
That is a neat idea to stitch two longer pieces together that are different patterns to make one piece to add. I like that and I like your video.
Thanks!
My fave way to use my scraps! The orange block looks so beautiful 🤩
Very pretty block
Wow! I''ve never seen this done before! I'm so excited to try! Thanks!
Thank you, this was just the thing I need to do with my scraps.
Love those colors my colors
Always wanted to Learn
So cute. Just found you. Thanks.
Welcome!
This is a great idea! Thank you!!
Great tutorial thx a bunch!!!
Wonderful. Thank-you.
💗💗💗
👍👍👍
Very nice
This was too good. One question may seem silly though. Do you just pull out the base paper when done?
yep, just tear the paper away!
Thank you

Great video, thanks. Do you keep the paper on the back?
I keep the paper attached until I’m ready to use the block in a quilt. That way it doesn’t get damaged or become distorted.

What sewing machine are you using here? It looks like you are not cutting any threads after each piece.
You're right, this machine has a built in thread cutter. The brand is Babylock, and the model is Jane.
I’m interested in the Buffalo pattern. Is there a tutorial for it?
Thanks for the Video. One more question: How big are the smallest scraps?
The narrowest scrap I will use us 1" wide.

Yes, remove it after the block has been completed.

Loved this but I wonder, what size foundation do you normally work on?
All sizes!
Hello, I enjoyed this. It was on my feed! I have a question- what brand are your scissors, they look really nice?! ❤️😀
They are Ginghers, and you are right about them being very nice!
Thank you, I’m going to buy scissors and not sure which brand or where to purchase🤔
