Great video...never thought of magazine paper...and I have a ton of old mags. I will die under an avalanche of scraps if I don't get going and this fits the bill. My son says I am the oldest hippie he knows. Also a retired art teacher, so this is greatly satisfying in all areas. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome
Tell your son I am the oldest hippie at 77
@@brendasweeney2806 Hahaha...gotcha beat at 78....
Im a 58 year young hippie with a 20 yr old granddaughter . She swears she was at Woodstock. 😂😂 She would love a quilt like this.
I have a friend who gave me a great tip by using dryer sheets as the backing and stabilizer. I made a beautiful library bag using it and the bag smells great!
That's a great idea!
I personally hate removing the paper, so I prefer using fabric instead of paper ( muslin is good) or scrapping directly on a thin piece of batting. Just my preference. I love watching this process and always pick up a tip or two. Thanks!
You are so welcome. You can sew right on a stabilizer fabric, but I find that if you are joining panels together, the seams get way too bulky. If you are just making one panel, yes, sew directly onto a stabilizer fabric.
My thoughts exactly. Maybe an old sheet or old shirt
I use used dryer sheets. They smell nice too.
I use old washed-out sheets or odd scraps of interfacing
My grandmother did this for what she called "crazy quilts." She used muslin fabric instead of paper or using a stabilizer. I have a box of completed squares, so I will be looking to see what I can make with them (as I already have a quilt from her).😊
love crazy quilts!
If you'll start with the center piece having 5 sides, (cut one corner off to make 5 sides), it will give you a different angle of your scrappy blocks.
I use the paper phonebooks that still come to my house. It's super thin. I've also done this without a paper or with an old sheet or ugly fabric. Sometimes the reverse side of fabrics will add to your fabric scrap choices.
You can also use black and make stained glass look.
I just found your channel, woohoo. Being able to subscribe is an honor and a blessing. Having comments for others tips is priceless.

You are so welcome and thanks for sharing
Thank you Jan ! I always wanted to make a crazy quilt and couldn’t wrap my head around it . Doing the smaller blocks would definitely make it easier. Thank you again. 😊
You are so welcome
I want to thank you for sharing this. I've sewed for over 46 yrs n never seen this. I'm having so much fun with this . I'm making a quilt n doing some blocks like this. Thanks for sharing❤
You are so welcome!
Ohmygouda !!!...I spent the afternoon playing with your instructions...what fun...some of the smaller pieces I cut away will make a great middle, and it didn't bother me to toss some of the cuttings. Heavy sigh of relief...this is gonna make a heckofa piece of fabric....
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes.
I love your cookie jar for holding scraps. They are goodies!
Yes, I watch out for them at thrift and tag sales
Good idea using stabilizer when making scrappy fabric. Thanks, Jan
You are so welcome!
Really pretty. I love “scrappy”. I especially love the different angles in the block. Thank you for the tips
You are so welcome
Loved watching all those scraps turn into something lovely. Thank you for sharing.❤
You are so welcome
Thank you for the magazine paper trick. I am just getting into the scappy look. I love it! Love your videos.❤
Thanks. You are so kind
I've used dryer sheets and mad a beautiful quilt for my grandson.
That’s such a great idea, I’d have never thought of that!!
thanks for sharing
Thank you! I am going to try this! I love the idea of using a magazine for the paper! Thank you! I love your teaching style! ❤️
Thank you so much!
Love this! I love sewing, but sometimes I don't have the brain capacity for a big project or I'm in a project rut. These scrappys are addicting and fun!!! I have a giant (12x24") bag of scraps, so I can make lots of scrappy squares for a future project. 😍
Awesome! Have fun!
Great tutorial, thanks Jan 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Děkuji za ukázku, jste moc šikovná.
Really enjoyed watching and learning new ideas.
Love this. I dont use backing or paper. I just sew one big piece. Then cut it down as i need. Then use backing later.
That's great
That's how I would it I think it's a waste of fabric. Now that I know I'm not alone I think I will start sewing my scraps together
Thank you so much Jan, I really really enjoyed watching you create those fabric scrap squares that we can use for lots of different projects. I think they’re really cute and adorable too and I can see how addictive they will be once I start working with them. Your tutorials are very helpful and so useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks. You are so kind. Be safe and well Mags!
I so enjoyed this tutorial, thank you. Very nice block. I love it.
You are so welcome
I love scrappy quilts❤
Thank you Jan! What a great project idea to add to my list. Love it!
You are so welcome
Oh my, I was expecting this to become a big quilt and my mind was racing about how to balance the colors and prints. Now my mind is bursting with small projects to make, and even using this idea as a decorative element on linens, clothing, etc. Great, thank you!
You are so welcome. Stay tuned I'll be posting some ways you can use the panels shortly.
Jan, I always enjoy your videos!!!
Keep on keeping on and Thank You
🥰❤️😀
Thanks. You are so kind
Great tutorial, Jan. Look forward to inventive projects for this delightful fabric.
Thanks. You are so kind!
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.💖
You are so welcome
I have a crazy quilt on my wall full of scrap fabrics. This is nice!
that's wonderful.
Another great little project. Thank you again!
You are so welcome!
Jan this is a great video so informative. You made it so easy. Thanks for your wonderful guidance. ❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
I LOVED this tutorial! Learned a lot! Thank you! 😊
You are so welcome
Love scrappy quilting. Plan to add to a canvas bag.
What a great idea.
This looks like so much fun! I really like that the panels can be made in small blocks of time, not to mention that clearing out some scraps will help declutter my sewing space. Off to find some old magazines!! 😊
Let me know how it goes.
Thanx for the lovely idea to use scrap cloth to get beautiful outcome!!
You are so welcome
Thank you! Great tips from all!
You are so welcome
Love the way you use paper but I use squares of material the same way. Usually an old sheet cut up to the size needed
I have used a thin batting as well..love the way these quilts look when the squares are all joined together
Way to go 😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. Happy quilting
Thank you!
Thank you lovely video, great way to use scrap fabrics ❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you very much! This helps me to figure out how to piece together fabric for a crazy quilt purse!
Oh that will be fun!
I have used this process on yoke on my daughters dresses and fronts of a-line skirts for me. Sew Much Fun!! 😊
That is awesome! I bet that is so cute!
It's amazing how a few pieces of scraps can make something so nice, I made some ovengloves and was quite impressed with myself 😂 ❤
What a great idea!
A wonderful video. Your demonstration was so helpful and your calm, reassuring American accent helps me understand perfectly. Thank you so much from Catherine in France
Thanks. You are so kind
Love your videos Jan. You always have practical advice and clear explanations. I sewed your quilted scrappy pouch. and it turned out so cute.
Wonderful!
Thanks. You are so kind
This was so much fun to watch. I think I will work on a scrappy project tomorrow. Your colors went so well together. Thank you!
You are so welcome
This will be useful. You do great crafts and are very easy to listen to👍
Thanks. You are so kind
Never seen this before. I'm going to try this. You did a great job. And I love all the colors. Thanks so much for sharing. Love it❤
Thanks so much 😊
Suggest you make your stitch length a bit shorter, it makes tearing paper off much easier. Thanks Jan. This will be a great way to teach my 9 year old granddaughter how to use machine using my scraps. 🎉
Thanks for sharing. I'm going to do that.
I’ve been doing this for the past week. Mindless sewing and I love it! I’ve made a notebook cover and have two more on in the process of being made. I’d love to try the zippered pouch next and thought about pot holders and oversized casserole hot pads. I’m getting a great start on birthday gifts for friends. I’d love some more ides for things to make.
Stay tuned, I'll be posting a video this week.
I have done this type of thing numerous times and no need for paper or any base for that matter. Just sew the pieces together and lay a ruler on and trim to desired size.
Tks so much jan for sharing your quilt ideas. Can't wait to sart on them.
You are so welcome! Let me know how it goes
❤ Love your technique.

Thank you. I really enjoyed watching your video. Gave me a lot of ideas to do with my scrap material.

This is fun. I have used newsprint paper, it tears away easily, its very inexpensive. I don't buy many magazines lately, too expensive.
This gave me ideas. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊

Wow, I am new to patchwork and playing with fabrics, this video has given me a whole set of new ideas. I have subscribed, I don’t often do so!
Wonderful and thank you!
Thank you for this! I've been quilting for a year, diligently saving all my scraps but had no idea how to piece them together without going mad... I've been wanting to make "remembrance" panels using the scraps from quilts I made as gifts, then can make a super scrappy quilt for myself with them.
You are so welcome!
I loved watching this
Thank you!
Neat! I'll definitely have to try this.
let me know how it goes

So glad I watched this video!! Thank you!!! My dad passed away 4 years ago and I made memory pillows from 9 of his button down shirts. I kept every piece of scraps from his shirts. I am going to make a cell phone bag for his 95 year old sister so she always has her phone and still has a bit of memory of her brother. Thanks again!!!!!!❤
What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.
I do this without using paper foundation but it’s a great idea!
Yes, many do.
Really greate creation idea thank you 🙏🏻
Most welcome 😊
So beautiful ❤ would like to try
You've got this.
I've done this kind of scrap sewing before but used muslin for a backing. I like the idea of using paper. It makes for less bulk in the quilt.
I agree.
You had me at 'hippie' and 'artist.' I am looking forward to all your videos.
LOL Glad you found me.
Thank you great job
You are so welcome!
I've been wondering how this is done - thanks for this!!
You bet!
