Yay! It's Kristin! Always happy to see you've put up a new video!!!! This is such a pretty block 🌻 Can't wait to see the QAYG method you use for this one 😊
Love this for using up scraps! While I was watching I realized if did reverse order on the sewing… starting where you stopped… you could raise up the one petal, start underneath it a little and after following around, you’d end up at the bottom corner. Then you only have ends to trim at that one last spot. Thanks for sharing this! 💚
I have a bunch of jeans to cut up and I just made approximately 100 scrap single color blocks during a recent bout with Covid so this will be perfect for me!
Just wanted to say, I found your channel about 3 weeks ago. I really like the way you are flexible with your quilting (No Rules). That's how I quilt. I call it "get 'er done"
I really love this scrappy orange peel block! I also love the denim background. It was fun to see how you used color coded scrappy blocks. I got so many ideas! Now I must get an accuquilt! ❤️
Oh Kristen, I really like your idea using the fabric scraps with the denim!! I have quite a bit of denim to use and scraps, so I've picked another one of your videos on denim to make a couple quilts from. Your quilt is going to be so pretty! Can't wait to see the next video. Love your videos, they give me inspiration! Thanks!!
This is gorgeous and so simple. Our guild in Canada had a sustainability speaker on Monday! This is perfect as it uses denim as a base, scraps and crumb blocks for the fabric, no fusible! And our guild is also starting to feature the Accuquilt cutter at our maker space at our library. Can’t wait for part 2!
@@ScrapFabricLove I’m at the AQS show in Grand Rapids this week and there is an AccuQuilt booth. They had the orange peel die and I bought it. And then showed her your design! She loved it. Tomorrow I’m taking a workshop with Pam Heller from AccuQuilt and I will be sure to show her too!
I've been wanting to make an orange peel quilt for a long time. You've inspired me to add this beautiful quilt to my "to-do list". I'm ordering the Accuquilt die ASAP! It's so cool when you do you!😊
Thanks! I would say - although I didn’t use fusible you probably should! I’ve had a couple stitches come loose after too many goes in the spin cycle of the washing machine 🤦🏼♀️
I started to watch your video,, stopped 1 minute in, and I dug out my orange peel template that I bought this summer at Missouri Star. I love the double petals. If I ever know I will meet you, I will bring a fresh orange, and demstrate why it is called an orange peel template. It's the best/easiest way to peel an orange. 😉 Thank you for this video.
Oh yes I definitely want to see this orange peeling method! I knew there must have been a reason for the name but I could certainly never peel an orange into that shape 😂!
Thank You for this video I like the orange peel design, it looks nice on your denim background squares. Looking forward to seeing how you do the quilt as you go and finishing up at this quilt.
Gorgeous ❤ I just bought the accuquilt go and some dies..this will be my first attempt at using it. I can't wait to see how my orange peel quilt turns out Thank you for your videos..they are so inspiring!
❤❤ wow, what a great idea to use up fabric pieces. I do have an orange peel template and have never used it, now I will. Thanks for another great idea especially the raw edge sewing!!!!
Thank you for the great video! I'm looking forward to seeing the QAYG part too. I'm doing a hand applique butterfly project. I knew I didn't want the feel of fusible and I wanted a slight raised effect. I used light woven non-fusible interfacing and the stitch and flip method to get turned edges. Then I basted the shapes with washable school glue about 3/8" in from the edge. That leaves a soft edge for the hand stitching and burying my thread tails. The glue basting will wash away.
Your project sounds fab and also sounds like you have way more patience than me 😂. I’ve never had the patience to do much in the way of hand sewing - it always looks gorgeous when other folk do it though!
Nice idea! I'm always looking for ways to use my scraps. I have several crumb blocks that I could use for this. I started making them years ago and decided I wasn't feeling it. And of course I have buckets of scraps.
I made a similar quilt recently. I did use fusible. I found that even with the fusible if I stitched too close to the edge it frayed and pulled out from the stitching after I washed it. Maybe my fusible wasn’t adhered well enough? I don’t know. At any rate it was very scrappy. I love how it turned out. Mine were singe orange peels. I love this look of the double peels on each block. Thank you for the ideas.
I’m sure your quilt is gorgeous. Not sure what happened with your fusible. I’m going to add a bit of extra quilting in the next video so 🤞🏻 my seams don’t pop!
I also love the crumb block petals! I have an orange peel quilt started in blues and white. Actually just got it out today and was looking at it. Packed it back away!! Your way looks much easier. Mine has interfacing on the back of each piece. 😢
There are so many ways to do orange peels. I did consider the interfacing way but it was just too many extra steps for the mood I was in! I’m sure yours is lovely and will be worth the extra effort. 💕
Great video, thank you. I have not tried appliqué before but your video is so encouraging maybe I will try. You asked why the design is called orange peel. Could it have anything to do with how one peels an orange. I remember by grandmother (born 1900) always took a knife and scored the orange all the way along and then a second scoring right angles giving four orange peel segments. I do not know anyone today who peels an orange that way. An orange quarter will also give you the same shape of peel. Only an idea.
Yes people do quilt denim on a long arm and I have two but I’ve had issues with stretch and puckering with denim on a long arm. I like to do my denim quilts QAYG. There is a quilt construction video just out this Monday that shows how I put this one together and quilted it.
I’ve been cutting up blue jeans since watching your awesome video! Regarding the jeans that have more stretch to them - did you find it necessary to use a stabilizer on those? Or did you just use them as they are? Do you pay attention to the direction of the weave of the jeans? Thank you for sharing - you are sew creative❤❤❤
Hi! Most of the jeans I reuse have at least a bit of stretch and I don’t do anything different. Doing it a block at a time kind of stabilises it on its own if that makes sense? Also no - I don’t pay attention to weave. I am just not that detail oriented a quilter 😂
I have this die and love this variation. I also have a bunch of crumb blocks with tons of seams that would probably work well on a denim base. Question re quilting with denim: do you only use old style cotton denim or do you use the kind with spandex and some stretch as well? It seems like most of the denim I come across has some spandex in it and I was wondering how it sews up.
I use all kinds. If you quilt it down in blocks like this it works fine for me but many folk would add interfacing to the stretch kind to ward off any issues. I always suggest experimenting with what feels easier/less stressful for you. The answer tends to be different for different folk!
@@ScrapFabricLove Thanks tor the quick reply! I definitely will give it a shot. I have some old jeans I can cut and give it a go. I don’t stress over quilting- I like to play! I enjoy your videos because you use that same kind of approach, enjoying and acknowledging that it is a process and we grow along the way!
Dang cute ))) I have made and orange peel before with red peels on red/teensy yellow print. It was a nuisance to sew the curve pieces so haven't done another. This is 100% ok to overstitch close to the edges. Double petals is very nice )))). I can put this on the "next" list... which is getting longer and longer. hahaha
I love the look of this block. You have totally inspired me with this tutorial. I just signed up to be a subscriber and I’m looking forward to your next video.❤
Have you made an orange peel quilt before? What colors did you use?
Lovely scrap busting idea...think I'll QAG individual blocks until I have enough for a Project Linus quilt. Ta again. X ❤
Fab! Love that your making it for project Linus!
Yes I have in a Black and White quilt for my son
I haven’t, but now I will!!
LOVE the double petal idea... Brilliant
Thanks!
That looks so cute! The Acuquilt might have to go on my Christmas wish list lol
That would be super cute with ragged applique, and maybe or maybe not ragged seams. Great inspiration video!
That is such a pretty block, I love the effect you get when you use a scrappy block to cut out your petals 😍
Thanks!
So pretty! I love that you used crumb blocks for some of the petals.
Thanks so much!
Yay! It's Kristin! Always happy to see you've put up a new video!!!! This is such a pretty block 🌻 Can't wait to see the QAYG method you use for this one 😊
Aw thanks so much!
Clever, simple and pretty! Way to go thinking outside the traditional block. Love it.
Thanks so much!
❤i agree...so glad i found her
I’ve an orange peel template & have spent a lot of time looking at it! I like the “raggedy” edges of appliqué! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve wanted to make an orange peel quilt for ages too and just haven’t got round to it until now!
Love this for using up scraps!

Cool! Yes of course do it in whatever direction you like!
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your Orange Peel quilt design. Beautiful!
Wow thanks so much! 💕

I don't usually like true scrappy - I'm more of a controlled scrappy person, but these blocks are just beautiful! Adding this to my to do list!
Me too! I struggle with mixing colours usually even with scraps! Trying to push myself!
I really love this scrappy orange peel block! I also love the denim background. It was fun to see how you used color coded scrappy blocks. I got so many ideas! Now I must get an accuquilt! ❤️

Awesome tutorial! Love the scrappy look! Thank you for sharing! 💕
Thanks so much!
A really lovely block when the 4 blocks are together it is stunning
Thanks!
i love when you make denim projects. love the use of the scraps with the orange peels.

Neverseen the orange used like this. Love it. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
I absolutely love quilting with denim and am now living the double orange peel! Pretty sure there will be one of these in my future!
Fab! Glad you liked it!
Love this and the crum blocks makes it even better, now i need the orange peel dies😂, thx for sharing can't wait for the next video
Thanks!
Oh man. Now I need ANOTHER die. Love this. Thank you.
😂 glad you liked it!
Sew beautiful! Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
Thanks!
Love your quilt! Never did an orange peel before. Going to try this. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
This is sooo cute! Great job! *running to my scraps and asking husband for old jeans…*
Husbands are such a good source of sewing material…mine rips his trousers in the most ridiculous places - no idea how he does it!
Like you, I love straight stitching.
Great idea! This will be a beautiful quilt!!
Thank you!
These would look really good as a bag, i have a lot of jeans to cut up and the size is perfect for them. Thanks for sharing 😊

Very beautiful and so unique!
Thanks !
Love your blocks. Have thought a lot about doing a appliqué quilt but have not yet done anything about it. You have definitely inspired me.
Aw fab! So glad you liked it. Appliqué is so fun and easy once you get started. Hope you enjoy when you do!
I L❤VE it! So simple and SOOO beautiful!
Thanks!
Really pretty! Thanks for sharing. ❤

SEW super cute, Kristen!!! I've got MSQC templates, but haven't made a quilt from them. Too many UFOs and squirrels!
Too many projects for all of us!
What’s a squirrel?
@@annablock8037 Any project that wasn't on your list, but you suddenly HAVE to make. :o))
Really love the block , thanks, it’s easy too. I just don’t have the accuquilt yet.
You don’t need the Accuquilt it just speeds up cutting the shapes that’s all. You can use a cheaper orange peel acrylic template to get the shapes.
Very cute
Thanks!

All our next lists are too long! Have fun when you get to this one!
This seems to be primarily an advert for the orange peel crumb block !!
Not sure what that means?
This is really cool! I like this! If I try I’ll just find a free template to trace the shapes. Accuquilt die is too pricy for me right now😢
Totally get it! Any orange peel template will work just fine!
Lindo!!
I see leaves too 😂
What is the machine you are using to cut the orange peels and where can I purchase one? Thank you
It’s an Accuquilt- there is a link in the description box of the video to the website where you can buy them.
Does the denim make the quilt really heavy?
It’s heavier than a cotton quilt for sure but I like that little bit of extra weight and I don’t find it super bulky myself.
I love the look of this block. You have totally inspired me with this tutorial. I just signed up to be a subscriber and I’m looking forward to your next video.❤
