🟪🟧SCRAPS STRIPS TO SPLENDOR-MAKING A KING SIZED QUILT FROM A MILLION ZILLION SCRAPS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2025
- Do you have a pile of fabric crumbs? These are those tiny pieces that are too small for other scrap projects. In previous videos I have shown you how to sew them onto adding machine tape. In this quilting video those crumbs strips will be turned into blocks and then assembled into a King sized Quilt. So stick with me and I’ll show you how to do it.
Tools I used in the video:

7⃣ YEARS IN THE MAKING. I can hardly believe that it's done. And the strips have totally transformed into a quilt. And I love a heavy quilt. Off to test drive it now. 😊
It was so satisfying to watch! Thank you!
well done!
Karen it's just stunning!! 😍, what a mammoth devotion achievement, in time, energy and careful collection of fabric memories, I'm very inspired.. I might just Start by setting myself a task of one adding machine line per month. And see where it takes me. Thank you again for your inspiration 🎉 that really is a celebration quilt 🎉
Thanks Karen my scrap box is large and I’m going to try a version of your quilt I don’t have access to paper tape however I’m going to try well done the quilt is quite an achievement it’s beautiful
Now I am 82 and I have the tape, and a lg. basket of scraps. So I have decided that when I have finished all of my ufos I will do this. LOL. Maybe this will be the one I take to the nursing home? The last project. Have a good day Karen. 🤎ya . From Texes.
That is making a lemon mousse soufflé with gold dust sprinkles out of lemons!! Stunning!
Applause! Standing Ovation! This is a quilt that tells the story of your life and is a treasure.
This is a heirloom quilt Karen. I’m in awe of your bravery to make this.
I’m surprised that my family did not stage an intervention
I so agree! An heirloom for sure!
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts THAT is hilarious! i.e. "OK Mom, that ticker tape project is getting a little bit too tickery silli-ickery for us, come on down from the mountain top and back to reality!"
Well done, Karen! Many sewists wouldn't bother keeping such small pieces of fabric, but look what you've made out of nothing at all! Imagine all of the warmth that sewists could provide if they all did this.
❤ Amen 🙏
Karen has shown how a bite at a time with persistence you can eat a whole wedding cake and create a Masterpiece! You can talk yourself out of something but you can also talk yourself into it. Just make your current goal realistic. In my 60's I bought a retaining wall "kit". Then I could not find anyone to hire. I worked on it for 15 mins at a time and now it's finished and gorgeous!
👏👏👏 way to go
😂😂😂true
WOW! 🎉
I remember when you started the adding tape strips, it was a long, long time ago. It looks brilliant you must be delighted how it’s turned out and so glad it’s finally finished. I’m sure looking at all the fabrics must bring a huge amount of memories and emotions.
It is fun to touch them all and remember where they came from
It’s a living moment quilt! ❤
❤️Absolutely fabulous scrap quilt. It resembles a stained glass window. Well done!!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Oh wow! Karen, that is truly SPECTACULAR! What an epic quilt. Your perseverance is admirable. I love all things "scrappy", from crumbs to granny squares made with yarn. This quilt epitomises the frugal aspect of quilting's humble beginnings. 🙏
Absolutely STUPENDOUS!!! From a distance, when we can see the entire quilt top, those neutral sashing strips are virtually invisible. Well done in EVERY respect! 🤗💖🎶💐
Wait, what??? You have an on-point layout chart??? How did I never find that? I’ve actually googled that because I didn’t want to have to do the math. Of course you’ve figured this out and put it together! You’re brilliant.
So gorgeous!
So many months ago, I watched some of your videos and let you inspire me to take care of all those tons of scraps, small and smaller and tiny .... And....mine is finished, too!
Thank you so much.
I love my scrap quilt!
When it dropped down in the reveal of looked like a stained glass window, so beautiful
Fantastic! I absolutely love how you assembled and finished this one! Congratulations on seeing all those crumbs through to the very end and, as always, thanks for sharing your journey ❤❤❤
I love this quilt so much. It may be my favorite of all the ones I’ve seen you make. It’s so my style! I’ve been making scrap strips for a few years, but I cut the strips from newspaper, since I didn’t have adding machine tape. I got in the habit of doing in between projects as a way to decompress with a little free-styling-no rules, no measuring, just mindless stitching, and we all know how good that feels. I’d been thinking of using them as a scrappy binding, but seeing them in your FABULOUS quilt may inspire a different direction. I’ve learned so much from you since 2021, with your incredible graphics and mathematical calculations. You could be called a Quilt Engineer. TY for taking the time to put together these exceptional videos. They are much more than entertainment. They’re a master class in the how-tos behind the creativity. 🙌
🤗🤗🤗
Hey! I know this is an older post but I was wondering how did the newspaper hold up?
@ Jolene, thanks for the question. The newspaper is all still intact, though I’ve not used any of the strips so far. I did, however, use my newspaper backed 10” scrappy squares two months ago to whip together a super-fast baby quilt for a shower the next day. Had those blocks not been ready, I’d have been out of luck. The newspaper peeled right off with no issues.
@@djlane5213 Thanks so much for the response! I really appreciate it. Never thought about it before, such a great idea. I am going to try this! Happy sewing!
Yay! I've been looking forward to you showing off the crumb strip quilt for a long time now! It's so nice!!!!
Absolutely legendary quilt! I've been watching you make the adding machine tape strips for so long. I go through phases of crafting and I recently came back to quilting, so I'm checking on all my favorite channels. Holy smokes! This is amazing!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Straight line quilting was definitely the right choice for the quilt! Absolutely gorgeous!
Picture of the top floating in the garage door: the stained glass effect is absolutely sublime!❤
The first time I hung a quilt there I was just mesmerized by the effect. Now I do it for all my quilts
The enormity of this leaves me in awe. First of all, it takes a lot of projects to get that many scraps. Then to do a king size quilt out of nothing but scraps and crumbs is monumental. Just wow.
My favorite quilt, the one that I love to snuggle under on a daily basis, is a crumb quilt made out of all my scraps. I love yours!
That is stunning. I’m hand sewing the binding on my scrap strip quilt now. You have inspired me to sew more strips and copy your design. Imitation is the highest form of flattery.
Thank you Karen for providing such beautiful inspiration
Wow! Gorgeous quilt, but what really impresses is the time, thought and persistence it represents. Thank you for sharing.
The sight of the quilt catching the sunlight was just gorgeous, like a stained glass window! Congratulations on completing this massive undertaking!❤
Yeeeah, this is great inspiration for those of us who just…can’t…let…go.
That is an amazing quilt. With the sun going through it, it almost looked like stained glass. I love the small sashing strips which helped unify it. Thanks for sharing the process with us.
This quilt is spectacular. So much hard work but now you have a treasure to put on your bed. 😊
Oh wow, Karen, this is amazing! ❤❤❤
💥STUNNING! 💥 This is a lovely make Karen!!! I always wondered if the adding machine tape would be hard to "pick" out of the fabric...happy to hear that it was an easy task for you 🤩This is a ROCKSTAR QUILT❤
Such a vibrant playful quilt Karen. Just love it.
Thank you
Wow Karen, that is sooo tremendous!!! Fabulous job!
Karen you never fail to amaze me, so impressive, inspiring and beautiful. This is why you have such a huge following. Thanks for all that you do.👍❤️🙂
How FUN to see the final product from your scraps!! It's GORGEOUS! Personally I never want to see the fabric again from my quilts so am happy to gift leftovers to others . . . .
WOW!!! Best scrap quilt I have ever seen!
All the thought that went into those stripy blocks about made my eyes cross!
But the results are stunning! Brava!
Here is a great name for this amazing quilt.......name it "WOW" !!!
This turned out BEAUTIFUL! I can only imagine the sense of accomplishment that you have when you look at Your Masterpiece. Great Job!!!!
Clearly, you are a force of nature. Such an amazing quilt, Karen.
Beautiful incredible quilt! Your work on the quilt and your work on the video is amazing, Karen. Thank you for doing what you do for the quilting community.
It was wonderful to see those crumb blocks turn into a quilt
Although the entire quilt is amazing, I think the coolest part is how you made the side and corner setting triangles. And that you made it an on point layout at all, is super cool, and I would never have even thought of that!
Thanks Karen for the info about how you sashed between the rows, it will help me the day I have enough rows to assemble. I can’t imagine how long this whole process took you. Bravo to you!❤
Wow! The "sum total" (not sorry) of your adding machine tape project is an impressive, beautiful album of your projects.
That would have been a great quilt name
What an incredible project you have finished. It was captivating to watch you transform tiny scraps to such a massive quilt. I don’t have the space, time or patience for something like that, but was totally mesmerised to watch you work. You are such an inspirational quilt tutor and presenter. Thanks Karen. 🙏🏻
I am totally blown away by your dedication to this project…what a testament to your love for this craft, and a lifetime of using your skills to bless others. It is inspiring to think of all of the projects, work and love that went into each step of this quilt. I can imagine that as you look at it and use it, you will remember times and people on your life that were meaningful and formative to who and where you are now. I hope that I can emulate this in my own quilting journey. Thank you for sharing your heart in this way!
That quilt is amazing. You did an amazing job. The sashing color blends perfectly and doesn't distract. It looks like an amazing stained glass window. I wish I had the patience for those tiny scraps.
You are truly amazing and you do amazing work! After all these years, you are still so practical, clear, and creative. ❤
OK YOU WIN !!! That's more crumbs than years and years worth. ))))) I'm on my way, but there will be lots more spacer BIG pieces in mine. Great fun !!! Can't wait to see what you come up with next. )))
It's fantastic! The .5 inch sashing divides it enough to rest your eyes and appreciate all the fabrics. Great job!
Beautiful. And, the memories make it precious and priceless.
Congratulations Karen! What a wonderful achievement, and a practical, pretty, and parsimonious (I had a bit of trouble finding a third ‘p’ word😉) heirloom which is the very basis of quilting tradition. You are a star in every way. I’m not a quilter and I love watching your creative process. ⭐️
It looks amazing and you can't see the sashing strips they just blend in . The backing is spot on too.
OMG, Karen! What a spectacular quilt! Now I know why I have been saving small crumbs and what I will do with them.
I have a very small area for sewing and quilting so I'm planning on making a baby quilt using this brilliant idea. No babies expected at this time so no rush
That is beautiful! I commend you for your dedication to finishing it! It was LOT of work! Great job!
Wow! That is so amazing! And you selected the best backing for this as well! You motivate me with every project, Karen! Thank you for sharing!
One of my favorite quilts you’ve done. Bravo. I have my own adding machine tape scrappy quilt pile in progress.
This is so fantastic, Karen! Such a labor of love and how much fun to see your past quilting projects in every square inch. Love your channel.
Karen, I LOVE THIS QUILT and how you worked through the process. Love the tips and tricks! ❤🎉
This quilt is so great! I started making register tape strips after watching your video and really enjoy the process. I have been adding them to backings and the effect is very fun.
Nice
Karen! I have been waiting for this…and it’s stunning. My very first quilt was crumb pieced because I am nuts and when I saw the previous adding machine strip video, it spoke to me. It also started a hoard of grocery store receipts, but that is another story. 😂 Your videos have taught me so much over the past few years. Thank you for helping me make the quilts that I want make.
Wow! What an accomplishment... and a beautiful quilt you have to show for all of your work. You have inspired me to start saving my crumbs. I love making scrap quilts, but this is the ultimate scrap quilt! Thanks Karen for showing us how you did this.
Thanks Nancy. It’s one of those things that’s doable one strip at a time.
That is awesome. I’m still working on making 10” blocks with my scraps. 84 done, made one charity quilt with 16 of the blocks, using a 2” black sashing and borders. Even made a pillowcase using a couple of the blocks for the edging. I’m sure I’ll get more than 300 more scrappy blocks with the scraps I have left. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Your scrap series reminds me of my grandmom's beef roast. First as a nicely sliced roast for Sunday dinner, then slices in gravy for Tuesday dinner, then hash for Friday and bones to soup for Saturday.
Gosh I love this so much.I normally am not one for completely random quilts with any and all fabrics but this just looks gorgeous. The top in the window looked like stained glass. And I love that all of the fabric memories are in there. It's like a wheres waldo of fabric! Congrats on getting it done. :)
Thank you for making quilting so accessible.
Absolutely beautiful result of years of patient sewing. I especially like your idea of the narrow sashing as a way to attach the crumb strips together. Just enough width to allow cohesion without diminishing the impact of the crumbs. Inspirational. Thanks for sharing the finished quilt.
Yes, I thought the narrow sashing strip was a really smart way to join the strips together and I like that she used the same fabric throughout for cohesion. Very nice.
You taught us something about sticking to a huge project…to the end. Thank you.
Karen, Your scrap quilt is a labor of love. So many memories in all those scraps. The quilt is simply stunning. I love that you used just one fabric design for the back. Bravo! 👏👏👏 Well done!
Love love love this quilt ! I started quilting when covid hit.....as most people did. I knew i did not want to do a patterned quilt....so i searched in youtube and you were the first that came up with the crumb quilting. i watched your videos and that's what i did, "crumb" quilting. That is all i do and just love it....i've made all kinds of bags with this crumbs and all the recipients of them have just love them also... Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us....
I loved your crumb on paper strips. So- I used a few supermarket receipts cut to length. A few hours after completing 3 I went into the sewing room and the fumes from the inks were toxic!! I used iron on paper for machine embroidery, Now I have an idea of how to use these! Thank you Karen ! Great idea!
Fabulous! And, no, I don't have the perseverance to even attempt such a feat, but I certainly admire yours!
Wow, that was just bonkers brilliant. Can't wait until I have enough scraps, or is that the wrong way to think about it (ha ha). All the best.
Looks like a stained glass window. Just loveley even from scrap. Ghanks goff sharing and inspiring this novice, raring to go. ;
Thank you
That's exactly what I thought, it looks like stained glass!
OMG, that is stunning, Karen! I just want to stare at it for hours and take it all in. What a beautiful work of art with sentimental meaning. Great work, thank you for sharing your process with us.
Wow! I've been watching you all this time! You are a force of nature! Nice to see this quilt come together. ❤
Your were probably with me for the first 10 strips 🤗🤗🤗
That quilt looks great, Karen. Through your inspiration, I have several strips on the go. Congratulations on finishing yours. 🎉❤
This is one of the most glorious quilts I’ve ever seen! You did an amazing job on it. How wonderful to have all those memories in one glorious quilt! Thank you for sharing it with us.
W. O. W. That is like the triathlon of Quilting.!! It looks fabulous Karen
Maybe even an Ultra triathlon 🤪
@@JustGetitDoneQuiltsno lie!
You rock Karen….there is no way in hell I will ever have enough scraps to make such a quilt at my age….but I love what you did!
Amazing work Karen, resulting in a fabulous quilt 👏
Oh Karen, this quilt is so beautiful and so much fun, I just love it. ❤❤❤
Whatever you decide to transition to doing, I know it will be a success, because of who you are. You are authentic and kind, and that comes through loud and clear. Do what fulfills you! I know I've thanked you before, but I need to repeat those words today. Thank you for all you have done for me and so many others!
Karen, that is an absolutely Fabulous quilt! Thank you for sharing your journey with us💖
Stunning. The thrifty side of me is in awe of your beautiful quilt. Have started strips on shopping dockets but need a lot of shopping to complete one such as yours!! Love your work, from Adelaide, South Australia, your devoted fan Helen x
Beautiful and inspirational. My crumb box is full and I need to do something. Adding machine tape was hard to find but I found some. It’s only 2 -1/2” but I’ll make it work.
It is stunning! It makes me think of stained glass, especially when the top had the sunlight behind it.
This is gorgeous! I want to do this with my scraps!
Oh wow wow wow
That shot with the light shining through the top looking like the patchwork stained glass in Lincoln Cathedral took my breath away!
Karen, that is an amazing quilt! You must be so proud, and thankful, that's it's done. Absolutely gorgeous!
I think your quilt looks stunning. Congrats on finishing this longtime project. I hope you can enjoy this quilt for many years.
I've been waiting and waiting for this beauty. It did not disappoint. You are such an inspiration!!!
Congratulations on finishing this epic quilt. It is a beauty.
I am impressed that it is actually square!
Awsome!
Dear Karen, I've been watching you and subscribed for years. This quilt is amazing! The enormity of it and your perseverance are a testimony of your expertise and bravery ❤. You go girl!!!
I love this! I am new to quilting being a bag or garment sewist so far. However, I have been working through a sampler booklet and found myself unable to dispose of the little scraps left over from cutting. This project of yours is divine: I can use these tiny bits so nothing is wasted. This makes me really happy!
I love this so much; you get the prize for perseverance and creativity.
Great job! I don’t think that I would ever finish a project like this.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow. What an achievement with all those tiny scraps. I don’t think I’m that brave to sew a quilt with mine. 👍💕💕
I really admire your patience and tenacity in making this quilt. So proud of you ! I am starting my crumbs with adding machine tape today. 👑 Joan
