OH my goodness, I didn't know anyone else did this with their scraps! I do this as well, separating them into brights (often by color or color scheme) and "browns". I have boxes full of finished blocks and tubs of strips & bits. I can't bear to throw lovely fabric away, even the tiniest of pieces. You're correct, making blocks in this manner is very relaxing and fulfilling. Using something most people would throw away & creating beautiful quilts brings me great contentment. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, Elaine! You made my day! I've been sewing my extra blocks into more quilts recently. I love making them, and I am trying many different set-ups.
Holy Moly, that box full of blocks is quite impressive, you must work very hard at this! I am so glad you shard this video! I have also been doing this method for quite some time, but I certainly do not have as many blocks as you! Guess I better get back to work on my blocks! Thank you again for sharing your time and talent!
I'm back for another treat for ME - such fun to see how creative you turn your scraps into beautiful quilts and fun projects. Again, thank you for the show!
Irena...You work so hard and your Quilts are amazing and beautiful. You are a Blessed woman, for sure..The Lord gives you a gift with the work of your hands. I hope your family and Dear ones appreciate all the hard work you do but surley you need to finish the boxes of squares into more beautiful quilts. I enjoyed your video and subscribed.
Thank you, Ami. It was many years ago that it became clear to me that some combinations of colors seem to clash visually. I don't have a great vocabulary to describe that however.
@@irenaswanson2075 I always think of the fabrics as lights and darks, so it doesn't matter what color. There always seem to be some "mediums" too, so that gets complicated. Decisions, decisions! Thank you for an interesting video with beautiful examples of all the things you talked about. The difference between the "bright" and the "brown" rows of blocks was so stark and interesting.
@@iforgettherestwhitman1483 , yes, darks and lights are very important in some patterns, and some day I will separate in such a way also for these remnant blocks! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Irene!!! Thank you so very much for sharing your process. You have inspired me to look at my scraps a totally different way. I can wait to get back to my stash again!
Wow! You make it sound easy and have now inspired me (at last) to try to make a quilt from the vast amount of remnants i’ve saved. Thank you...new subscriber.x
Just Beautiful. Love them all . You should be so proud to have made these lovely quilts . And they are Lovely. Thanks So Much for sharing your great talent . You and your family have a safe , happy an healthy holidays . 🎁 💒
5:38 okay, I see a big box.... okay, she says let me show you how fun this is... 😯😯😮😯😮😮😯😯 Holy smokes!! This must be really fun. Lol super AWESOME! Great video 💙🐝💙
As I said, Amazing, such beautiful work! I have always said that I would never get into patchwork/quilting. Although I realize that’s just what I am doing right now with scraps that I make bags out of. I admire people’s wonderful work but yours is really something else. I sew regularly, and have earlier, made knitted wall hangings , mostly large ones, one being 7 meters high, for official and public places. But! What am I going to do now...... such an inspiration you are! I may even have to learn the terminology..... fantastic!
Hello Irena, Thank you so much for sharing your quilts with us and explaining how you make each one. I love scrappy quilts with fabric from many other projects on it, its good to look and remember what else you made from the fabric. I am I the process of making a sewing room and I want to have a "design wall" I was very impressed with how your blocks "stuck" to your wall, could you please tell me how you made your design wall and what it is covered with. Most grateful and best wishes. Love your shopping bags too 👍👍😁
Thank you, Karen! I am glad that you like my videos! My wall has a large piece of flannel on it, with a sleeve at the top with a flat metal bar holding it all flat and with a sleeve at the bottom to keep it all tight. I tape the sides down either with clear tape or with painter's tape to prevent vertical wrinkles (vertical wrinkles are only a problem for the camera). I've had the same flannel for years. Every once in a while I vacuum it.
Brilliant. I currently sort remnants by color family. The results of my crumb quilts has not been satisfying. I'm going to change to brights and "browns." Thank you.
Thanks for this inspirational video! I am going to try separating into bright and darker colours. I would never have thought of putting my blocks on point. Do you keep whatever sizes of remnants?
Thank you, Severine, for commenting. Yes, I keep all remnants for the next remnant quilt😄. I am currently working on a fairly large quilt from ridiculously small pieces. The top is heavy with all the seam allowances in it, and beautiful! Check out my Instagram @irenaswanson page🤩
Wow you gave me something to think about girl lol i just finished one crumb now wanting to do another one after xmas also i just finished a quilt as you go with out sashing using string quilting happy with it . From Newfoundland Canada new to you
Yes, I make a lot of quilts!!! I love it! Check out my www.tubepiecing.com, my FB page facebook.com/tubepiecing/ or my Instagram feed instagram.com/irenaswanson/.
Thank you, ltsparks138! I have never sold a quilt. I have given them away and I keep many, it's been getting harder and harder to part with them :-). I love making them and I love seeing them. Some day I will finish the quilts from all the started blocks (ha!), and then I may be ready to sell a few to a good home.
Excellent teaching video!! This is a great project for charity or children’s hospital quilts…..”scrappy” are my favorite quilts. Thank you!
Thank you, Cheryl!
Think I just landed in scrap quilt heaven 🙉🙉🙉✂️✂️✂️
That is how I feel, actually, in heaven! Thank you, Julie!
What fun to watch you, continuing to pull out more inspiration, more pretty blocks, more colors - loved these few minutes I spent with you. Thank you!

Hi, Katleen, a kindred soul!!! I totally agree!
I'm back for another crumb block fix! Love to see your good color sense, and variety of delightful entertaining projects! Thanks1
Thank you, Elaine!!! I appreciate your writing!
Great ideas well explained! This shows that one doesn’t need little “crumbs” to make a scrap quilt!
Thank you, Noel!
Stunning and so creative, but what I love MOST is how YOU sorta disappear into your own quilt! Cute!
Thank you, Elaine! You made my day!
I've been sewing my extra blocks into more quilts recently. I love making them, and I am trying many different set-ups.

Wow, Susan, a 7-meter high wall hanging! Amazing! I feel super honored that you find my quilts an inspiration.
Very organized ... good presentation .... I have heard this type of block described as CRUMB BLOCKS
Thank you, Anna!
Thanks for the lovely video and "eye candy" quilts. I will be able to retire soon and I want to make lots of those blocks too.
Thank you, Jonna, for the compliments! Happy retirement and happy sewing!

Hvala, Marko! :-)

Thank you, Beverley! It sounds like you also make a lot of quilts! Isn't that fun!?
Great quilts! And you're very worksome👏👏👏
Wow, worksome, nice!
@@irenaswanson2075 sorry, wrong word: diligent😊
@@Stoffmonster467, I liked "worksome" :-)
You must cut allot of fabrics to end with so much ,love what you do to get the beautiful quilt
Yes, I make a lot of quilts!!! I love it! Check out my www.tubepiecing.com, my FB page facebook.com/tubepiecing/ or my Instagram feed instagram.com/irenaswanson/.
Wow that was a great tutorial
Thank you, Marina! It makes me happy that people like my tutorials! I try!
you may want to try sorting light and dark too. (You could have a checkerboard - mixing squares of light "blocks" and "dark" blocks.
Yes, I agree! I have thought about making light-dark gradations scrappy quilt. Some day...
I've made a quilt like that!
You are very skilllful in sewing
Thank you, Jeanette!
I love this! Do you ever sell your brown quilt tops?
Thank you, ltsparks138! I have never sold a quilt. I have given them away and I keep many, it's been getting harder and harder to part with them :-). I love making them and I love seeing them. Some day I will finish the quilts from all the started blocks (ha!), and then I may be ready to sell a few to a good home.
Thanks Irena , love your vids , sooooo inspiring . XxPat nz
Thank you, Pat! Sewing makes me happy, and it makes me happy that you find it inspiring!
When you're squaring up blocks to only trim the right side. Is that because you're right handed? If you were left handed would you trim the left side?
Hm, Never thought about handedness. I think that you are right! Great point🤩
Such a lot of work but where have all of those pieces of fabric come from?
I make a lot of quilts and clothes, and these are remnants. Check out 0:21 in the video where they come from. Thanks for writing!
Awesome but where do all your scraps come from?😀
I make all of my clothes, my husband's shirts, and lots of non-scrappy quilts. Trimmings go here :-)
Thank you!
You are welcome, J! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
Your sewing looks nice
Thank you, Jeanette. I like to make good-looking quilts for years of visual pleasure (and years of warmth). Thank you for your compliment.
Wow!
Thank you, Lindsay!!!
Amazing!
Thank you, Susan! I am glad that you like it!
