😭 ❓ARE SCRAPS RUINING YOUR QUILTING❓ 😭 | FAST STRING QUILT | STRIPS | Beginner Quilt Tutorial

- Опубліковано 13 лип 2024
- Welcome! Do you DREAD 🙀 working on a scrap 🧵 project? I really like sewing with scraps ..... USUALLY! Sometimes I even enjoy CRUMBS (gasp) ! But not today. Today was definitely NOT that day. I had a large bin full of strips from when I finished off a LOT of quilts about three months ago. Strips came from the backing being trimmed down when I squared up the quilts before binding them. I had a some jelly roll strip leftovers from other projects. SO MANY STRIPS. And I was just OVER it. These prints and patterns, and even my pretty old sheet leftovers couldn't make me smile. In fact I felt like CRYING! I had been seeing these TOO LONG! Seriously friends, I considered just pitching the bin contents into the trash! Me!? The Recycle Upcycle Reuse It Lady? Yes, even me. I was tempted.
Join me as I got into this project and experienced a complete 180 degree change in my outlook! Talk about an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!
THIS IS A GREAT BEGINNER PROJECT WITH ALMOST NO MEASURING, ALMOST NO TRIMMING, AND ALMOST NO PRESSING! I hope you use this idea to have some FUN with your scraps! This quilt top finished to 56 inches by 78 inches. ⏰ MY TOTAL PROJECT TIME ABOUT 8 HOURS. ⏰
For easily separating when chain piecing, I love the Blade Saver. Just make sure you get the right size for your old blades. www.missouriquiltco.com/searc... -

Thanks! Love this Quilt and leftover strip idea!! ❤
Good morning, Jeannie! ☀This quilt made me so happy! I think it's bright and cheerful and will make some kiddo smile too! I appreciate your support of my channel very much! Have a wonderful day! ☀
I really love your videos and stash busting quilts! Maybe you could change up the background music?
These quilts are way more interesting and appealing to me anyways, than the more 'organized' or structured quilts we often buy as patterns!!! I still like them but I prefer scrappy one of a kinds!!
Me too! ☀️☀️
me too.
Me too
Bravo! Great job!
Thank you very much!☀️
Like you there are many times I don’t like what I’m doing, but after regrouping and making a decision, once I have a few done, it usually makes me happy. If not, I trudge on and complete it - someone in my family or friends will always claim it.
So true and a great reminder.
So true! Thanks! ☀️☀️
Wow what a beautiful surprise. You've given me hope for my tub of strips!
Oh that’s great! ☀️
Wow that is just beautiful !! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Cheers!☀️
Wowwwww!
Thanks! ☀️
It’s just beautiful! Maybe JUST WHAT I NEEDED to get the juices flowing again.
Thanks for the inspiration
You are so welcome!☀️
Awesome. I wasn't too keen on the amount of that yellow and green fabric, but in the end, it worked out fabulously!!!
Thank you! That yellow green was an old sheet set! I’ve made some really pretty things from it. And now it’s ALL Gone! 😂☀️☀️☀️
@@ladyjane3660 I agree! This one is my favorite from that set to date: ua-cam.com/video/hVAJmYVnqq8/v-deo.html
I absolutely 💯 love quilts like this. The solid sashing is what brings it all together. Brilliant idea for the borders.
Simply Marvellous 🙋♀️🇨🇦
Thanks so much! 😊
So glad i found you... i'm retired using up a lifetime of scraps and fabrics... your idea of sorting into colorways is what i have found makes the nicest scrap quilts... This idea of using the tube method has given me a whole new outlook... Thank You!
Wonderful! ☀️. My mind was blown the first time I learned about strip tubes! ☀️
So much fun!❤️
Yes! ☀️
Great project. Thank you!!
Glad you like it!☀️
You made some lovely lemonade , outta that pile of lemons.
Ha! Thank you! ☀️☀️
It's a cute quilt top. I love how cheerful it is.
Thanks! ☀️
I love that a beautiful quilt came from scraps! 💗 If in the future, you have scraps and you really don't want to deal with them, please consider giving them away or donating them to someone that really enjoys quilting but is limited on supplies. Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦅
Oh thank you!☀️☀️☀️
Quilting Guilds have all levels of quilters that would love scraps/crumbs. We have a couple of scrap vampires in our Guild. 😊
Great job
@@maryanne2500 Thanks! ☀
It really turned out scrapfantastic!😂❤❤❤
I thank you! ☀️
I love scrappy string quilts - this one is wonderful
Thanks! ☀️
Turned out beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful and true to the spirit of quilting to use what you already have. A very soothing thing I do after working is spend 20-30 minutes making 6x6 string blocks. Someday I will have enough to make a bed quilt for myself and be able to look at it and remember what the fabric was originally for. It'll take me years but that's ok!
That is Wonderful! Thanks! ☀️☀️☀️
Hi Annette! A lady gave me what ended up to be 8 or 9 boxes of fabric. I recently went through ALL, yes ALL of my fabric and scraps. I had it everywhere, in my craft room, otherwise known as my bedroom, (most of my dresser droors have sewing supplies in them, not clothes), fabric in my spare bedroom, fabric in my living room, fabric under my bed, and in my closet. I got rid of 4 boxes of fabric that as you said, I had used several times, and jsut wasn't using anymore. I gave it to my boss. She has 3 girls and I hope they use it someday. I had to get over worrying weather they would use it or not, I didn't want it anyways. I am hoping it will help me enjoy going forward from here! I am taking a break from buying fabric from thrift stores. It is hard to resist but so far so good! Thank you for the video! The quilt came out very nice.
Thank you!!! ☀️
Nice job! As quilters & at the price of fabric we cannot afford to waste any fabric. I try to turn all my leftover fabric into other projects using even small pieces for crumb quilting & the tiny pieces go into pillow cases for dog or cat beds. Some of my favorite projects are from scraps & crumbs! Love your finished project! 😊
I do the same for our furry friends. 😂😂 I hide mine behind my couch until I can’t hide anymore, then off to the ARL
Thank you!☀️
Bonjour. Beaucoup de travail et un super résultat qui sublime les chutes disparates… bravo ! Régine🇫🇷👩🌾
Régine ! Merci beaucoup ! ☀️
I subscribed! Love, love how beautiful your quilt top turned out😘
Thank you so much!☀️
I've really enjoyed watching you incorporate the green and yellow sheet in your projects. Thanks for your tutorials.
Glad you like them!☀️
You turned trash into treasure! Great job!
Yes! Thank you!☀️
Wow 🤩 This is really amazing 😁 All from strips of scraps of fabric that might have been thrown away. You must be so, so pleased that you didn’t give up 😃 Thanks so much for sharing 👍 Hope this has inspired everyone to tackle their scraps 👏👏🇬🇧
Aww, thanks so much for your comment! I’m hoping it’s inspiring too! ☀️☀️☀️
Love a scrappy quilt - well done for sticking with it - fab result Vx
Thanks so much!☀️
I really enjoyed your video; I especially loved how you cut out the blocks using the tube method to make each square. I have seen other methods making the strip piecing by sewing strips on a piece of square muslin first.
But your idea is brilliant!!
As I watched your video, I couldn’t believe you at first didn’t like working with your scraps. I love scrappy quilts!! I love building blocks by sewing together my bits of scraps, and love the way it all works together.
I was very happy that by the end of your video, you are now a convert and enjoyed making your beautiful scrappy quilt,
It is gorgeous!!
Thanks for sharing your process!
☀️ Thank you so much! I do love scraps. Just that this bunch had been around too long! WAY too long! haha. I'm reinvigorated now and ready to dive into more scrap projects! ☀️
@@sunbeamfabricartI was homeless with my 2 children 6 and 3 years old, at a point. I would have been so grateful to have any scraps. I would not care what they looked like. I learned a good lesson during homelessness, to be grateful and not petty.
You can't have enough quilts and blankets. No matter what they look like, someone homeless in zero degrees will see a king's quilt.
@@jodeesmith1685 That is exactly why I keep them, and keep making quilts out of them to donate! (Even when I get overwhelmed!) I have been very very poor at times, but thank goodness never homeless. I did live in an attic once with no heat. We have some great organizations in my area that I am so honored to assist with my quilts. ☀🧵
You ertainly not alne on the way you felt as I am there right now myself. So glad to see you did something with them and it turned out great. You inspired me
Yes! Thank you!☀️☀️
Amazing what a beautiful quilt out of scraps ❤
It really is! ☀️. Thank you!
Wow. That was a lot of fabric and basically you have a fabulous “free” quilt,
Indeed! Thank you! ☀️
Omgosh, I can totally relate to how you felt about your scraps! I really had a good laugh listening to you talk about not wanting to make anything with them, and your quilt top turned out REALLY BEAUTIFUL! I’m glad you persevered through this process and I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the scraps from this quilt! ❤
Thank you so much!☀️☀️☀️
Wow that’s truly beautiful. It looks fresh because of all the yellows green fabric. White was a good choice too.
@@bella-bee Thanks! People either love or hate that old sheet in yellow/green! I have made a BUNCH of projects with it and I love it! ☀. But it's now almost all gone. Just the remnants from this project (triangle ends) to use up and it will all be gone! ☀
Congratulations 🎉 The quilt top is beautiful. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
You’re welcome 😊
💞It's nice to see that there are regular shapes in your work, I believe it shows that these pieces that are being used are truly left over or scraps. perfect lines can discourage people. ( you show that one can put together a masterpiece with pieces.( what patients you have)🏆🙋👍 Priceless!
"thank you for your share" 👩🌻🐕
So true! You do not have to measure starch trim or anything, to just start sewing some scraps together! Have fun!
Well, what a great lesson! Thanks for filming, Annette. The piano key border makes the quilt sing! ⚘️
Thank you! Glad you liked it! ☀️
That is a gorgeous quilt top. Would love to see you finish it!
☀️ Thanks! I love it too!
Excellent work ! So rewarding !😊
Thank you so much 😀
A spectacular save for a bunch of scrappy strips. That must make you sit back and smile!!!!!
It does make me smile! THANK YOU! ☀️
This turned out so very beautiful. I am glad you tackled it. You made a great piece of art, from scratch/ scraps. Im very impressed. You made it look fun. Congratulations 🎉👏 you did it! Thank you for sharing this with us.😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it!☀️☀️
Annette👏👏👏 awesome. It’s really pretty. It’s so amazing how ugh, ugh, ugh it’s irritating me- turned out to be:
I Love It🥰 you go girl, thanks for conquering your challenge and giving us inspiration. ❤️😀
It was brutal, and then it was WOW! Fabric is amazing 🤩☀️☀️☀️. Thank you 😊
It was really fun to watch your process. I found myself trying to guess which direction you would go with this project. At first I thought you were doing something akin to a "Jelly Roll Race" but I love your solution to that big ol' scrap pile!
So glad you enjoyed! ☀️
What a neat way of making string blocks - I'll be trying this method out for sure! Thank you for your great video and what a pretty quilt!
Thanks so much! ☀️
Your quilt is a work of art. I think of a modern art display at a fancy gallery.
Aww, thank you so much! ☀️
Wow, I love your process and your finished quilt top. It's gorgeous. What a great way to do string quilting! Well done you, as they say across the pond.
Thank you so much! ☀️
Gorgeous result! Ohmigosh though, I have always been a big proponent of you do you, you are the boss of your own quilt, etc; but I found myself muttering press, press, PRESS!!!! as you worked with those wrinkled scraps. Lol, had no idea I had a thing about ironing til I watched this video.
Ha! Thank you! ☀️☀️☀️
I watched to start with because we all have been at this point at some time. I love playing with scraps but often don’t know where to go so just muddle around. This shows us we are not the only one with these feelings and we don’t have to be in love with a project. The fact is even though it isn’t bringing us joy it might or we can always change direction or make and donate. I often forget to sort my fabric into color piles. That changes up your block quite a lot. We can even cut our blocks or strips up multiple ways. Thanks for sharing. By the way love how you incorporated an additional use of your yellow sheet. It blends quite well and sort of ties the blocks together even the piano keyboard. Loved it.
Thanks so much!!! I did love that sheet set. But also…really REALLY glad it’s all gone!! ☀️☀️☀️
Really looks good
Thanks! ☀️
Hello Annette! I love you videos and enjoy your quilts, but I really love your music. Thanks for reminding me of this song. I had forgotten about it and you have brought it back into my life all along with your lovely quilts. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
What a great job! You didn't give up. I love your finished quilt. You have inspired me to do the same.
Thank you! 😊
I love Bonnie Hunter and Brenda from Mt Scrapmore. Scraps are amazing, and the quilts are so interesting.
I agree! ☀️
I make string blocks almost continuously and crumb blocks constantly. When I have enough to start sewing together, then the blocks begin to turn into something.
Awesome! ☀️☀️
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you!!☀️☀️
You’re amazing, love the quilt top. Great job!
Thank you so much!☀️
Oooh WOWWWW! I absolutely love your idea and outcome!!! I’m inspired again to do something with my scraps!!!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! Go for it!
I love your honesty on hating the strips! 😂
Indeed! ⭐️🤣
What a gorgeous "end product" from annoying scraps...like the story of "The Ugly Duckling"!
Thanks! ☀️
Our local guild will have a swap day where everyone brings a bag of scraps and we swap. Sometimes we look at them, other times it's just a straight swap, sight unseen. I like it because I often get fabric I would never consider buying myself. And it keeps me from getting sick of the same old fabric that NEVER seems to go away.
That sounds so fun! I like mystery boxes for the same reason!
Wow what a great finish! Bravo.
Thank you very much!☀️
One of the tips you gave me was: Separate scraps according to size/length .... I had been pondering that, but until I saw your video, I had not convinced myself that it would actually accomplish anything! (And, sometimes, life and living gets between a concept and reality) ...
I think one of the things that convinced me of the efficiency of separating by size and then (well, you know better than I what you do) ... it was something I noticed that you did ... almost every project you do has a basic color at regular intervals ... (That, I suppose, is enough control for me, because as soon as I notice that concept .... Katy bar the door! I have been off and running.).
☀️. Yes indeed, that is a SUPER TIME SAVER in the long run! ☀️. And maybe you picked up on my method of NOT ironing or cutting everything perfectly when dealing with scraps!. I'm not about perfection when working with scraps, but mostly having FUN and getting things done! ☀️.
@@sunbeamfabricart most people think in "perfection" mode immediately ... the rotary cutter is a great equalizer when scrap quilting, I have found ... definitely.
I felt the same as you at first, not sure that this quilt would be at all pretty, but WOW! What a gorgeous quilt you ended up with!!!
Thanks so much! ☀️❤️
I love scraps!
Ditto! ☀️☀️☀️ (most of the time 😂)
Well done 👍 😊
Thank you! Cheers!☀️
Good for you😊. I know what you mean about having scraps taking over your space. I know you must of done a happy dance when it was completed. When I saw the conglomerate of the pile I thought negative thoughts. But you actually achieved a bright happy quilt. “Job well done”!
Yes! Thank you so much!
What a great surprise. I was doubtful in the beginning too.
You and me both! ☀️. Thank you!
Love it! The keyboard border is wonderful.
Thank you so much! ☀️
I really like your scrappy design!!
Thank you so much! ☀️
What a great quilt! I also love scrappy quilts and I especially like the piano key border!
Thanks so much!
❤
Thanks!
You were brave to work with all that bias. Strip blocks not always my favorite but I like how yours looks. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much!
Brilliant and inspiring! Thank You❤
You are so welcome! ☀️
Amazing. This quilt is so serendipitous and watching you process this project is quite inspiring.
Well done and thanks for sharing. Love from Maine.
Thank you so much!☀️☀️☀️
Sounds like a quilt to donate
Most likely! I donate a lot of my quilts. ☀️☀️
I truly admire your tenacity and the blocks are lovely. I recently donated a small tub of red, white, blue strips to a donation center. Last year I had made two projects from these fabrics, most of which I had inherited. This year I made 9 string block hot pads from those same fabrics. After that, I was done with them. Hopefully the leftovers will be a "treasure" to someone else. Your Quilt is gorgeous!
Thank you so very much! ☀️
FANTASTIC TUTORIAL, MANY THANKS FOR THE LESSON!😊😊
My pleasure! 👍🏼✨
This is beautiful. I was wondering what you were going to make. I love this. It brings the original reason for making patchwork quilts . They were made using scraps of any small pieces of fabric the maker could get their hands on. I find it a bit frustrating when I look at quilt makers using fresh new reams of expensive fabric, instead of using what you have on hand.
Thanks for your very clear video. 👍
Thank you so much!
It’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspiring me
You are so welcome! ☀️
Thank you for the reminder that the ugliest scraps can be turned into a beautiful quilt.
Absolutely!! ☀️
Wowee that is a fantastic result, beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Love the end result. How inspiring ! Thanks for the inspiration.
You are so welcome! ☀️
Absolutely awesone!
Thank you! ☀️
Love it. You ended up with a very nice surprise
I think so too!☀️☀️☀️
That’s gorgeous.
Thank you! ☀️
I've passed mine on to the local primary school - they love them.
That's great!
I love your strips too!
I wasn't to fond of the first log cabin block either. The patterns and fabrics just didn't sing to me. However, once you decided to strip the scraps and go from there...pure magic!! 🤩✨
Thank you!
Brilliant
Thank you! ☀️
turned out beautiful! love the blanket!
Thanks so much!
Love it too. You got it
Thank you!
Looks great, we'll done. Enjoyed watching x
Thanks so much 😊
Great video! Thank you for sharing your thought process/decision making process! This is a beautiful quilt!
Thank you so much! ☀️
It is beautiful. I liked your process. I have some scraps I need to tackle.
Go for it! ☀️
Yayyyyy! It’s lovely!
Thanks! ☀️🧵
I love scraps, you can make all kinds of things with scraps
Me too! Love Scraps!
Lovely
Aww thanks ☀️
It's gorgeous!!!
Thank you!
I think this would make a wonderful backing for a quilt making it reverseable.
Awesome!
Terrific!
Thanks! 😊
I love this.
Thanks ! ☀️☀️
If you put that first square into a crumb quilt into a quilt top, it would blend perfectly!
☀️Thanks!☀️
Sewing a right side to a wrong side? Been there, done that, more than I care to remember. LOL Great quilt!
HA! More times than I would like to admit. Thank you! ☀️☀️
