I love it! Should be called "Stress Free" sewing! Thank you! 👍🏻
I agree Chrissy. :)
Cabbage, crumbs, scraps....whatever we call them, this is a fabulous idea for using them! I'm new to sewing so don't have much of a crumb stash, but I will start saving every scrap to make a quilt like this! What a fantastic and beautiful use of even the smallest bit of fabric! So glad I came across this!
You are going to have such fun using up your stash as it grows. You never quite know how your finished piece is going to look.
Thanks for this. I have saved lots of scraps and sometimes I just feel the need to sit down and sew something easy with no particular project in mind. This is the perfect pastime to do as a refresher between more challenging projects. I love how you've sorted into colour groups. That makes the final fabrics so pretty.
Thank you Gillian. It's such a fun and relaxing thing to do, I really enjoy crumb quilting.
Your explanation, video and easy way of doing things is excellent. Thank you for making a terrific video.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊
wow! I never thought that you can sew little pieces and make a quilt like this. Thanks so much for making a video to show us a wonderful technique to make a quilt!
This is such fun to do.
beautifull :-) :-)
my english is not good, but my eyes see what you are doing - thank you for showing :-)
I just found your video and I'm loving it. Looks like so much fun.
Excellent tutorial! The simple instructions are very helpful, not drowning, but not too loose. Thank you. Off to start a crumb something!
Thank you. Happy crumbing 😃
I love doing this. It is so fun!!! So glad to see different techniques like using long pieces for chaining. Would love to see actual quilts made with crumbs.
"I LOVE AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS METHOD "!!! I all but thought I was going crazy cause I saw this once as a Child and NOBODY has ever heard of this !!! " Thank You sooo much for the inspiration to "LOOSE Myself" sweing away !!!
Much easier to understand after watching your demonstration.
I started doing this awhile ago...it is addicting! I was going to slowly build a quilt...sort of a memory quilt for all the projects I've ever done but just had a thought that placemats might be a better way to go. The grandkids would get a kick out of finding scraps of their quilts in each one. Sort of an I Spy deal!
That is a brilliant idea, I love it and so will the grandkids. :)
This is the BEST tutorial on crumb quilting I have ever seen....thank you so very much for sharing
Thank you for your lovely comment Janet. This is such fun to do, you never know just what you are going to get :)
@@alandacraft I’m grateful that I am stand your accent I live in Alaska. k I Grew up on the East coast
understand hehe
This is one of my favourite things to do. I don't make quilts, but I make zipper bags and fabric baskets etc and they all look terrific made from scrappy fabric. Tote bags too look amazing. Thanks for this
Thank you for your comment 😊. Those are great ideas, and I agree, there is so much you can do with crumb quilt pieces.
Absolutely love it! Best improvisational quilt ever. I knew I'd been saving scraps for something.
Thank you Gillian, so happy you liked it. It's such fun to do and it certainly is a great way to use up those scraps that none of us can part with. :)
Love it!!! I've held on to a ton of scraps for years that I had no idea what to do with until now. Thank you.
This is just so much fun to do, and the results look great. Enjoy.
I just started doing this during the weekend... mindless fun sewing... using scraps...how lovely! my 10 year old granddaughter took to it, first time sewing!
That's excellent to hear Melissa. It's so good to see youngsters taking to quilting, and I'm guessing she loves the no rules aspect. I find this so relaxing to do :)
i love it no rules! just do what you like.
Thank you I know now how to sew all those scraps pieces that I have. You explain everything on how to do it. Thanks Again,
Glad it was helpful, Audrey. Crumb quilting is such fun to play around with.
Thank you for this tutorial! It's the first crumble quilt tutorial that actually made sense to me! Can't wait to try it out!
You are going to love how it all comes together Barbara. I love using up my scraps this way. :)
This is a new way of sewing crumb blocks for me. I can't wait to try it out. It's one of my favorite 'between' projects activities. Or if I need inspiration before picking a new project. It's very addictive and a great way to use up scraps and crumbs. I like to make mine into quilts for charities. Thanks for this new technique.
That's a lovely idea Karen. Making quilts for charities is such a worthwhile cause. 🙂
I've just started learning to quilt, what a revelation! Love the jazz, punk, anarchic effect!
... using a traditional, Victorian sewing concept 😉
Hi from France. Yes it's easier to sew pieces together than in one block
Only made a toddler bed quilt before. Now I want to try this.
Thank you ! I love this and will be using this method for a special quilt for one of my wonderful sisters. I love your no fuss way...love from across the ditch! 🥰💕
Awesome, Alison, your sister will love it. Crumb quilting is such a great way to use up your scrappy bits. 😊
Love this! Thank you!
Thank you. Enjoyed and learned.
thank you so much Alanda. i can see that you have a beautiful heart as your quilts. i need this tutorial badly since a have a bulk of fabric scraps. :)
Thank you for your lovely comment Ayaran.You are going to have so much fun using this technique. And it will certainly help to reduce that scrap stash. :)
Your ability to visualize is amazing! My eyes don't work like that! TYFS
Thank you. I’ve been trying to use up bits of fabric by making crazy patchwork. This looks even more exciting!
This is so much fun Teresa. I love seeing how the new fabric piece comes together. :)
I’ve been saving lots of crumbs! I’ll have to try this. Thank you from Oregon
Excellent Loretta and maybe you can share your crumb project on the website when you get it done. This is such a fun way to use up those scrappy bits. :)
Great tutorial. Thank you. 😊
I love it! Thanks for sharing. The projects you made with them are adorable!
Thank you Sandra. This is such a fun way to use up those scrappy bits of fabric.
I really enjoy your tutorials. Easy to follow and get right sewing. I appreciate that so much.
Thank you 😊
This technique is great for when you want to sew and not have to concentrate much (what I call mindless sewing). Obviously it's great for using up scraps. Love your tutorials.
lol. Iove that 'mindless sewing'. That's exactly what it is. I find it so relaxing to do. Thank you Cindy.
I call that "therapy sewing"!! Sometimes I want to enjoy the zen of working in colour and the soothing act of creation without taxing a tired brain...making crumb blocks and strip sets fits the bill!
Cindy McFarland
I love this and the outcome is beautiful
Thanks Tarnikia. It really is such fun to do and a great way to use up scraps.
I love it. No matching corners. Awesome. You sewing machine looks like mine. Thank you for showing this.

I discovered Crumb quilting the other day and so happy as I had gone through my stash and created a LOT of scraps during the initial mask making frenzy . Yours is such a lovely detailed tutorial with great ideas ( love the long strip use ) . Subscribed!
That's great to hear Wendy. You can use your crumb quilting in so many lovely projects. Here are some projects that our readers have done using crumb quilting www.alandacraft.com/?s=crumb+quilting
Thank you so much Alanda, I really really love 💕 this. It’s so helpful and useful, and I really really love 💕 how you worked all the odd bits and pieces and you really really managed to get a brilliant bloke. xxx Mags
Thanks Mags. I just love crumb quilting it is so relaxing and so much fun to do. You never quite know what you are going to end up with.
Love this creativity. Giving us the rule to match straight edges, is great! Thank you. 😊
These are so much fun to do Eileen. It's a great way to use up those scraps . :)
I'm glad I watched this. You gave me some ideas that I can really use. Thank you!
Excellent 🙂. This is such fun and a great way to use up your stash, plus the crumb quilting pieces can be used in so many projects.
I love this! Just went through my scrap bin. Going to try make a small lap quilt.
Have fun!
I have so many scraps and have been trying to use them up, but I am a very organized sewer so was getting very frustrated. This method is fabulous and will save me so much time. Going to give it a bash and hopefully see a dent in the scrap boxes I have. Thank you so much for making it sound so easy
I find it a great way to use up those scrappy bits, Amelia.. It's easy and fun to do. I hope you see a dent in that scrap stash before too long :)
I love this! I must try it out!
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm planning on making a whole patchwork fabric using this technique for a scrappy apron!
You will love how these scraps come together. I love the idea of making an apron. Perhaps you would like to share some photos on the website when you finish it. Here is a link if you are interested www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
I just tried this for the first time tonight, inspired by your way of doing it. Thanks!
Excellent Tanya. Crumb quilting really is fun.
I am challenged by scrappy quilting. Thanks for sharing, your blocks are beautiful
It is really so easy Roxane. I love it because I don't have to think too much about what I am doing. Just find two straight edges, sew them together and trim.
Очень красиво! Спасибо!
Love your tips and quilts you make thanks
The blocks look very nice , I'm going to give it a try.👍🤩
Just about to try this using some of my scraps. Quite excited as to how it's going to turn up.
This is so much fun to do, and you never know just what you are going to end up with. Enjoy :)
Great tutorial TFS
I really like your directions
Thank you Anetha 😊
That's fantastic! You have inspired me. I'm going to make about 12 squares, keeping to the same colours family and then checkerboard them with white, en pointe. This will be made into a baby quilt.
That sounds awesome. If you'd like to share the final result, you can do so here - www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
My bag of weird little scraps has been growing, and I knew there had to be something I could do other than throwing them away. Thanks so much for this! It's an excellent technique.
It's amazing how quickly those scrap stashes grow. That's because we never know when we just might need that teeny tiny piece of fabric. This is fun to do and I love seeing the new fabric come together. Enjoy. :)
Thanks for sharing ...what a great idea. Greetings from Canada!
Thank you Sandra from Canada. :) I love this way of using up scraps. I find it fun and therapeutic.
Great idea & tutorial.
Thank you Anne. :)
Thanks so much for this easy to follow tutorial. I can’t wait to give this a try!
This is so much fun to do and it's a great way to use up those scraps.
I lke your quilt have plenty of scraps will give it a go
J'adore Love.
Wow ! Thanks for that, it gives an awesome result, and no wastage 😍😍
You are most welcome. A scrap has to be very, very small to miss out on a place in my projects. 😄
Thank YOU! Your video is quite helpful to me. Good Job!
Glad to hear that!
I love this, too! I hope mine come out as arty as yours. Very fun idea!
You are going to love playing around with your scraps Barbara. You can see some examples of our Reader Projects using crumb quilting, here is the link www.alandacraft.com/?s=crumb+quilting
Thanks so much.
You showed it very clearly, thank you! I think I willd try to do this.
I hope you do give it a go. It is so much fun and really addictive. I just love seeing what turns out. :)
Alanda Craft I agree - very addictive!
I'd love to see a video about using crumbs successfully. I don't like the busyness of most crumb quilts but i love the use of cool colours and unifying sashing in this. I wonder if there are other tricks i didn't notice which helps to tie these together.
Had to laugh cuz you were cutting the crumbs into crumbs😂. But i love your technique of small onto a strip. Good video ❤
😂 Yep, crazy I know.
WOW now that is a different kind of quilt I must say. I think it may drive me batty trying to sew it together. I would be so confused. But thanks for sharing. I sure enjoyed watching you sew it.
Give it a go Tammy, you will be surprised at how much fun it is. There are no rules other than joining two pieces of fabric together along a straight edge. :)
thank you for your idea for crumb quilting,it is the best so far
I'm glad you like it 😃
Honestly can't wait to try this! I've never quilted so I'm not sure what I'll use it for. Probably just regular fabric when it gets big enough, lol
It's just so much fun to do Reece. Cushion covers, and pot mitts would be a couple of projects, or make up some squares to make a quilt.
Great idea!
This is a fun way to use up those scrappy bits of fabric. 😊
tq for the sharing
VERY NICE.
Good idea
Easy tutorial. Thanks!
You're welcome!

It looks like a Picasso painting. I love this so much. It’s looks very modern art-ish.
Yours are my favorite quilting videos. I made my first quilt using your strip quilt video. Now I’m making a 9 patch quit. I can’t wait until I have enough scraps (one day) to do this one. Thanks for what you do. I probably would have never attempted quilting with out your channel. :)
Thank you for such awesome feedback Ashlee. :) I hadn't looked at this from an artists point of view, but you are so right these pieces do look very much like modern art. We would love to see photos of you quilts on the website, here is the link if you are interested. www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/.
Those are very beautiful!!!
And so easy to make Lucille. It's also lots of fun to do. :)
@@alandacraft i love these projects,i will make one too
wow beautiful
Thank you. I hope you give it a try, it is such fun to do. :)
Obrigada!
Mais uma técnica incrível!!!
Thank you 😊
Ah ha! I like the tip for long pieces. Also joining the two at a time and the join them. Thank you for sharing.
You are most welcome 😊. I love crumb quilting. It's so relaxing and fun to do.
Muito abençoado o seu trabalho Aladra.
Thank you Maria 😊
Отличный вариант использования обрезков. Я тоже так делаю.
Well done :)
Thank you 🙂
Can't wait to collect scraps! :)
I knew I was saving all my tiny scraps for a reason lol
LOL. It's ridiculous the amount of scraps we end up with. But nothing goes to waste, which is a good thing 😊
Also I have lots of scrapes (crumbs), I want to sew them together to fairly large pieces, then cut aprons for my Christmas gifts this year to my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. All sizes!! The guys as well as the girls, they all love to cook!!
That sounds like a great idea Liz. I would love to see some photos when you have made them. Here is a link if you would like to share some with us www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/
Love love love💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love love❤️👌
No
Good idea , the best technique . Thanks a lot ! ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
This is fun to do. You never quite know what you are going to end up with and it helps reduce that fabric stash.
Nice Quilt, I would have left the mistake too. I just bought some AWESOME material you had on sale at your shop. I can't wait till it gets here so I can admire it. :)
Not sure if you have left this comment on the right channel Sue. We don't sell fabric in our store.
No entiendo el idioma pero me quedo muy clara la tecnica muy hermoso improvisacion y creatividad en el diseño gracias saludos desde chile
Gracias, María. Estoy feliz de que hayas podido seguir los pasos. Encantado de saber de ti en Chile. (Thank you google translate)😀
I did this with all my flannel bits. It’s amazing and fun.
Oh I would love to see some photos of how they look Cindy. It is such fun to do. Here is a link if you would like to share www.alandacraft.com/submit-your-project/ 😀
I had a little trouble with photo but got it and you should have it shortly.
All good Cindy. The post is up on the website, FB and Pinterest. Thank you. Your crumb quilt looks great.😃
Thank you for the idea.👏👍🙋♀️❤👍👈
Happy you like it Celestte. I'm a hoarder so it's great to have a way of using up those little bits and pieces of fabric.
Muito bacana essa técnica e vou tentar fazer com uns retalhos que tenho aqui. Beijos 😘
This is a great way to use up your scrappy bits. :)
I love this demo I hope I’m gonna be able to do this but I’ve got to get some crumbs I don’t have any
Maybe you can pick up a bag of fabric scraps from a sewing store or op shop. Crumb quilting is a lot of fun and easy to do. You are going to love it Dorothy.
This was a great video, I am thinking of using it to make a white wedding dress quilt with three fabrics to go with it. I am not sure if I want to do it in blocks or build the whole quilt with it!!
That sounds like a fun project.
Brasil Rio de Janeiro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Glad you like this technique Eunice.
YOU would be great to show how to make patterns from clothes we LOVE, without having to tear them apart !!! "Creating our own patterns"!!! "God bless You"!!!
I love the look of your crumb quilts because of how you group your colors! Gives it good coordination and a restful sense of rhythm amongst the chaos.
This may sound dumb, but I really want to make something like this but I'm a new sewer and don't have any scraps yet. It would seem odd to cut up large yardage into random crumbs, wouldn't it? Do you know any tips for starting from large pieces and working them down into crumbs... other than just throwing them into a chipper/shredder, I mean?
Thank you for your lovely comment Marialla. lol, a chipper is definately out of the question. You could always buy an eight of a yard of fabric and cut them into strips to make a start. Or you could start working on some smaller projects and start building up your fabric stash. We have quite a few small projects on the website. www.alandacraft.com/category/sewing-projects/quick-projects/
I am new to sewing and love collecting the scraps. The more videos I watch, the more I believe some of my frustrations with sewing may be due to the age of my machine - a ‘66 singer. In this video I loved how quick it was for you to sew two pieces together and then realized you don’t have to hold the two bits of thread at the beginning. What did the buttons you pressed at the end do?
I have a really old machine that I still use. One thing you can do before starting to sew your scraps together is to take a small piece of fabric and sew on that before feeding in your fabric. This stops the birdnesting that can sometimes occur when you start to sew.
