I love everything you did you make it very simple to understand. A lot of times I watch a teaching channel and it’s confusing so I really appreciate your methods. Thank you again.😊
This is a great scrap star block. I'm going to make a few. Have to say....yes, I have sewn from the center point of a star to make sure the seams match perfectly, and then flip it around to go the other direction. It works! Happy Mothers Day 2022 (the date I'm watching this video) to you Tracy!...God bless you.
Lovely block, thank you for the inspiration and instruction! To get my seams to match, I skip the pins (they never work for me) and use glue stick instead. Just a tiny dab of glue at every seam I want to match is all it takes. Elmer's school glue stick is relatively inexpensive and works perfectly; no need to buy special glue for fabric. And it'll wash right out. It's been a total game changer for me.
I’ve been wanting to try crumb quilting, and love the idea of a star. Thank you for the clear instructions. I’ve learned to quilt by watching UA-cam videos!
love this scrappy star. I sew quilt tops when I'm not longarming. that's why I have so many started. well here goes another start up quilt top. lol thank you a lot though!!!
I've used that method of starting in the middle of the block to line up the center seams on many occasions. Have done it for years and it works for me every time. Glad to see someone else has found this to be helpful as well!
My sewing friend sent this to me today. I like it. I can see doing this because, though I don't care a lot for crumb quilt, I like order. So, your controlled chaos is perfect for me simply because of the stars. Thanks.
Thank you for this great tutorial. You are so easy to watch with your clear diction and easy to follow steps. I'm looking forward to watching more of you & your super channel
You are my quilting queen. You have such wonderful clear instructions and practical ideas. Now I can keep all my scraps and still quilt. Thank you so much for your videos. 🎉
You know that feeling you get internally when you’re really excited about something and you feel it bubbling up? Yeah, that happened to me when viewing this video! You’re doing exactly what I have been aiming for. TY for the details. I can’t wait to get back to my sewing table.
I never thought I would want to crumb quilt, but I am inspired now. I think I will start putting smaller leftover fabric together a little at a time. I absolutely LOVE that star block. April
Really cool quilt design. I have OCD and I was thinking a while back, why don't people color code their fabric when making scrap quilts. It would be so pleasing to the eye. 👁️ I do it and I do it with my thread and bindings...lol it makes me crazy not to. I organize my fabric by type and color code within that type...lol I know I'm such a freak. But here u are and it is very pleasing to the eye I must say. I love how u sewed all the scraps together in each color scheme. I didn't think to do it that way. Really awesome. 👍
Thanks so much for this tutorials l especially liked the lack of music and time wasting showing us and us having to listen to the machine 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I’m going to try this scrappy quilt method. It’s brilliant 🥰 enjoy your day
(This is Linda, Mike’s wife) I love the color you use for all your quilt blocks. You have such a good eye for color. I didn’t see one, but do you have a video on how you choose the right colors and texture designs for your blocks?
Thank you for your kind words LInda💛 I don't have a video on fabric choices yet. I sort of go with what "looks right" to my eye....not sure if I could teach that...but I will definitely think on it...thank you for the idea Linda🌸
I love yhis block! Thank you so much for the tutorial! BTW, I have always sewn my points from the middle out. I'm a self-taught quilter so I didn't ever learn not to. Whether it's right or wrong it works for me. Take care and keep up the great videos!
Such a lovely block. Especially its made from scraps! I have never made a crumb quilt before but this has inspired me to make a star 🌟 quilt. I have started pressing my scraps and will put them into colours then put those together, cut them out and hey presto one beautiful quilt top. Many many, many thanks. 😊
I LOVE your quilt ideas! And I love string quilts! I’ve made one for my guest bed but I want to make another one and what a nice idea that makes such a pretty quilt! However that will be after I finish my cathedral windows quilt I’ve started after watching your video 😍 I’m loving it it’s so pretty! I did make a change though instead of connecting squares with a zigzag I’m using just a straight stitch on the inside to sew them together which eliminates me having to stitch by hand the 4 points that meet in the middle😉 I’m also working on a sewing machine cover for one of the new machines I purchased that came without a hard or plastic cover! It’s only a backup machine for my backup 😂 but I wanted a cover for it which is turning out so lovely. Keep up the good work! I’m loving it!🥰
Your teaching is really awesome. So clear and exact. I love this star. I'm making a star quilt. Can't wait to get to this one! Its gonna be awhile. Thank you Tracey!!
I've wanted to do crumb blocks,but my brain tries to organize the chaos in everything. So I have a hard time with anything scrappy. So this block is brilliant for me. Thank you!
I have recently become enamored with crumb quilting but wasn't sure where I wanted to go with the created pieces. The colored scrappy stars are beautiful! This is definitely on the "must do" list! Thank you!
I love this, a true scrappy! Beautiful. I love taking a day and just sew my scraps into fabric. Not in the same colors, so my stars will be really mixed. White isn’t in my fabric very often but it’s going to be awesome. Thank you.
Anita Grossman Solomon uses the technique of starting in the middle to sew blocks together where you want that center seam perfect. It’s a great technique!
I loved that lamb fabric you used. Low and behold, yesterday I went to Hobby Lobby and there in the clearance fabric was a 1.25 remnant for $3...I love happy finds!!!
Thanks for a great and easy to understand tutorial!! Love your block!! What a fun way to use scraps that we all either love or hate lol I am one that sews like you. I go from the middle out to ensure my seams to match. I just don't tell no one lol Happy Quilting!
this is beautiful. lovely idea. im not a big crumb quilter but i think this technique would be great for a large baby quilt star like someone else mentioned. thank you for sharing your design ❤️
Beautiful! Thanks for the great instructions. I've been wanting to try crumb quilting and your instructions give me the inspiration to start. Thank you.
Great tutorial and such a fun quilt and wonderful way to use up scraps. In particularly when you came in close, there are fabric designs that made this even more interesting.
Thank you, for this video. I still have lots of scraps; and, I have never thought of sewing my scraps together to their like colors only. This is a wonderful idea. That star block you made is beautiful, and one of a kind. When I am sewing my scraps together, I forget about a lot of things and feel at ease. It really is odd how I don't remember some of the scraps I am sewing together from my own stash. Plase stay safe.
Hello there, I really liked this idea of using your left over fabrics to make the crumb blocks, regarding piecing the last seam starting from the center I have seen this done before by Editha Sitar from Laundry Basket Quilts, so it works great.
These blocks look like so much fun--I'm going to put on my to-do list for the new year. Always have so many scraps and I already organize them by color, so this will be perfect. Thank you for sharing! Always love watching your videos.
Nice, Tracy! I like that you took a common quilt block project and put you different spin on it. I like all the different shades of the same color families. Very, very cool! Can't wait to see what you come up with next time!!! 👍
Edyta Sitar, of Laundry Basket quilts, uses the same method joining her mid sections of her eight pointed stars except she starts about an inch out from the center. Works well.
I Love everything about these star blocks, so pretty 💖💜💖🥰
Thank you Chris. They are even prettier in person🤩
I made my husband a scrappy quilt. It is my favorite quilt out of the 70 or so I have made.
I love everything you did you make it very simple to understand. A lot of times I watch a teaching channel and it’s confusing so I really appreciate your methods. Thank you again.😊
Stunning string star quilt. Thank you for sharing.
Just love this colorful quilt. TFS
Спасибо огромное ! Смотрю и восхищаюсь вами и вашими работами !
I love the look of this crumb quilt
Watching again 😁
You're the best!🎉
I agree with you about the clapper.
This is really cool...I have lots of 4.5 “ square crumb quilt squares but they’re not at all the same color. Next time, I’ll try organizing chaos.
This is a great scrap star block. I'm going to make a few. Have to say....yes, I have sewn from the center point of a star to make sure the seams match perfectly, and then flip it around to go the other direction. It works!

*_Us quilters are ALWAYS keeping busy Ann !lol😂_*

Yes and it really does help too Susan✅
Sometimes when making clothes, the technique makes it so much more precise.
My sewing friend sent this to me today. I like it. I can see doing this because, though I don't care a lot for crumb quilt, I like order. So, your controlled chaos is perfect for me simply because of the stars. Thanks.

*_Yes! Black background would work great!!!✅_*
I never thought I would want to crumb quilt, but I am inspired now. I think I will start putting smaller leftover fabric together a little at a time. I absolutely LOVE that star block.

Your idea is one of the most appealing ideas for scrap use that I have seen demonstrated! Keep your ideas coming! Thanks.
Thank you! Will do!
Awesome!! Love scrappy star.
I do the same thing to match points; sew one direction from point to end and repeat!!!

*_I agree Dori....all the different shades of the same color with different prints draws the eyes in.🤓 👀⭐_*
Such a lovely, colourful, big block. Thanks for demonstrating all the steps so clearly. Will be watching more as I’ve just subscribed. 🌻
*_Thank you for the kind feedback 🤓🌈and thanks for subscribing ⭐_*
Edyta Sitar, of Laundry Basket quilts, uses the same method joining her mid sections of her eight pointed stars except she starts about an inch out from the center. Works well.
*_Great to hear someone else uses that technique...I've never heard of quilters doing it but it certainly makes sense to me ✅_*
Love it. Ann from Va.
Thank you🌟🌈💜
Looks look you used a lot of brights. I love your final result o just wonder how it woll look not using brights.
I am going to make this. It will be my first crumb block.
Well, that just makes me smile. Loved it. ❤️
*_Makes me smile too Lynn!🤓_*
This is beautiful!!
Thank you so much 🌈
Thank you for this video, I found it very helpful as a beginner to quilting. Are you able to show how to bind the finished quilt please?
*_Great suggestion!✅_*
