Wow, this blew my mind! I assumed you were going to carefully lay down each piece, one by one, but then you attacked them with the rotary cutter and shoved them inside, hahahaha! The result is gorgeous and the tulle hardly visible. I’m going to rescue all the crumbs from all my bins and try this! Delightful!
Wow, I’m watching from Nova Scotia, Canada and think what you have created is terrific. At 75, I’ve decided to take sewing up again and will definitely be giving this a go. You are a wonderful teacher…..thanks so much!
I too and a Canadian, from Ontario. Hi! I have a whole huge jar of fabrics I cut up into "crumbs" and wasn't sure what to do with them. Now I know! Thank you Rachel!
Mind blown when you took the rotary cutter to the crumbs. I couldn't fathom how you would stitch them together. A very creative technique. Now I'm off to salvage my "too small" scraps from the bin and see what magic they'll make. Thank you!
I completely agree with you Linda. I wasn't sure how the bits were going to be joined either but was pleasantly surprised. Love it and can't wait to try.
Normally, I think people talk too much with their tutorials. But my goodness, you have the sweetest voice! I thoroughly enjoyed your chattering as you worked away. Thank you for the tutorial!
Her voice is the right pitch, and she has a gentle voice that's natural and quite frankly very enjoyable ❤ she would be great reading out loud books, plus there was no annoying music either to put up with. 😊 just lovely and really pleasant ☺️ ❤
This was beautifully presented. Clear instructions that were shown slowly so we could keep up. No wild back ground music which was nice to have, just nice AMSR moments. Also your speaking voice was so calm and comforting.
I BELIEVE this is the MOST easiest and PERFECT project to use scraps;esp of a collection that we love to buy, just CAN'T throw those lovely pieces away. ❤❤❤❤ Huge THANK you for your sister's creation and you sharing.
This is the prettiest and easiest way to use crumbs that I've ever seen. I try to not waste any materials when working on projects. I send my thanks to you and your thoughtful sister you made you the first one. God bless you.
I like the way you attached the binding from the front to the back, for beginners like me it helps to conceal any bloopers along the way and the corner miters (US) lay flat.
I could not have predicted how it would come out! It really is a lovely blended watercolor effect and the quilting/padding makes it just look like it's so cozy and would be wonderful to touch!
Great video. Never have I ever seen anything like this! Had to try it right away. Dropped all my other sewing and just dove into all those scraps!!! Sew fun!!!! 17:17
Love the scrap idea after watching this video, so saved everything from my cutting today, then remembered I had some scraps in the little bin in the bedroom where I do my sewing. Took all the scraps out of that bin and found the safety cap to my thread cutter/snipper that had been missing for a few days. So thankyou for this video, or I'll never have found the cap, as it would eventually have gone forever 💞
Wow! Perfect idea for Christmas gifts. I can taylor each one for each grandchild, so everyone has one that is just for them! They will love it and I will have a blast making them! Thank you for the great idea! Jean Colorado USA
Ohmygoodness! What a find! I've seen other confetti techniques, but not one as simple as this. No nonsense - just do it! Eye catching idea. Thank you so much Rachel.
That is such a great way to use up the little scraps. I loved how the bears really gave it character. Thank you for showing us how to do confetti crumb quilting Rachel. xx
Wow. I have watched videos for 6 years and I just discovered you. Your presentation is so relaxing, instructional, and encouraging. I will sit and binge watch I am sure. Thank you.
Whoo hoo. That's great. I've wondered WY I keep saving teeny tiny bits of fabric and now I know what to do with them. Will be watching more of your videos now I have found you. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous project.
Rachel you have such a soft demeanour and a pleasure to watch. Your placemat turned out so cute. You know I’m gonna have to try one for sure so easy. It’s just yeah I don’t know. I got Christmas projects. I’ll save those bits and pieces and give it a whirl. Thank you so much for sharing with us..👍❤️🙂
This is incredible. I couldn't believe you were literally using crumbs and were just stuffing them in there. And it all came out SO beautiful. Thank you for sharing - what a blessing. I can't wait to make me one or a 100.❤️❤️❤️
I was very curious when I read the title of your video. Surprise, surprise! I had no idea about this fun technique. Alas, I have thrown out so many little bits and now I am mourning their loss. The Care Bears was a touch of genius. Just subscribed.
I enjoy your project. But most of all I love to hear the stories about your shopping experiences. I might be your older viewer, but keep things going and you admit lots of projects in the works. I think we all have many projects going at one time. I now know what to do with my scraps. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
What a lovely and fun project. My plan is to make a placemat "pocket" for each granddaughter and let them stuff away to their hearts content using bits of fabric, lace, ribbon and yarn. Then I can quilt and bind to finish. Also thinking to include lettering which spells their name. Another option is they make a surprise one for each other. Or use batting, fleece or flannelette instead of foam, make loads and put together a QAYG blanket. So many wonderful options! Thank you Rachel.
You've explained something I've been struggling with for years - mitred corners with a binding! Thank you so much - beautifully described. I shall be redoing all my cat mats.
What a wonderful project. Now I know what to do with all those tiny pieces of fabric. No landfill with this project. This will make great gifts. I was thinking of using all my Christmas scraps & gifting for Christmas. Thank you for sharing.
Rachel I love this project. I can’t wait to make one! What a wonderful sister to gift one to you. I have pink organza with sparkles it will make a great gift. The quilting lines just had that magical touch. I love it! Happy stitching.
Wow, Rachel! That's brilliant. I never would've thought of doing this in a million years, but it's quite cool. These would make such great placemats and is such a great idea for those crumbs of expensive, beautiful fabrics.
Wow love how you have demonstrated this so easily to follow Love to idea of saving the bits of fabric for this project I'm new to quilting so I'll definitely use this video Thank you for sharing your skills
Thank you - Love it . I am a fabric scrooge and cant throw away even the tinest bit - Now I can make these . Thank you . I hope to watch more of your delightful videos. Great way to be frugal and reduce waste too...
Oh crumbs......that was absolutely delightful. I would never have thought to cut the pieces of material to do this this way. I can't wait to make a mat for my sewing machine which often slips about. Thank you Rachel.
I just ordered soft & stable and some large Organza bags that I can cut to use, because i didn't want to buy yards of it. I'm going to make a pad for my sewing machine to sit on..I'm so excited! Thanks for the tutorial. 😀 🌻🌞
I saw whole quilts done in confetti crumb at the Dallas Quilt Show when I was there several years ago and was amazed! They were done in like park scenes, street scenes, etc. Beautiful! Now that I'm back into quilting, I'm trying to figure out how to separate the pieces so that I can eventually try my hand at it.
Thank you for the tutorial! When you were cutting up the fabric I said out loud that looks fun, and then you added it was! That turned out so beautiful. I don’t save small scraps but looks like that’s going to change! You’re a delight to watch and listen to. Thanks for another project that will make a great gift.
I have seen this done before by an American lady, i have lots of liberty scraps and will so try making something with them with this method, thanks for the inspiration🤩
Super dramatic! A lovely tutorial with a Wowsers! end result. Would make a fun project for ornaments, stockings, etc. to hang for Christmas. Endless possibilities with whatever colorway chosen. Thank you for sharing this creative idea.
Interesting method. I use my scraps by putting them right sides together, sewing them, folding them over, finger press and add another scrap. I keep doing this until I have a large enough square. Then when I’m done them all for my project, I sandwich everything together, use fabric strips in between join them and quilt away usually using a stipple free motion stitch and bind it. They’re so pretty and satisfying. Fabric is so expensive now that I can’t stand wasting even little bits.
Great job Rachel! Love this idea for a mat under your sewing machine. I’ve made some small squares with scraps, but never used the netting over it. Definitely will be making this! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous! Have been wondering what I’m gonna do with all my little pieces that I can’t throw away. Thank you for giving me a great idea. Love it so much.
Thanks for the cute tutorial I’ll definitely have a go. It always amazes me how quilts change as the process moves on - trimming the edges, adding the boarder, etc. very pretty indeed. I also love the houses and trees quilt on your wall 😊
Wow. This is one of the most creative ways to use the fabric crumbs. I previously made two quilt blocks using crumb pieces, but laying them out one teeny tiny piece at a time. It was surprisingly relaxing at first, but given how much more I have to go...I think this is a much more efficient and fun way to do it. Thank you for this tutorial.
What a lovely idea, I save my little crumbs too. I use them as an alternative to stuff toys etc., I only save the cotton crumbs... which is what I mainly use...but others are saved to use in crafty/art work for my grandchildren. Waste not want not ❤
I was wondering why you were cutting those scraps so many times until you started putting them between the tulle (netting) and the foam. Then I thought "Well that's brilliant! LOVE this! I will definitely be trying it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I’ve just given this a go with some Liberty scraps I couldn’t bear to get rid of - just made two mug rugs to give as a housewarming pressie! Thank you for the tutorial 😁
After that tutorial I HAD to subscribe! I know there's going to be many, many great projects on here that I'll want to see! And I'm making that crumb mat today.
I’m going to give you bonus points because of your beautiful accent before I even finish watching this video 🤓. And now that I’ve watched the whole thing, I love this project! Thank you for sharing it 🌼

I have been sewing for almost 70 years and that was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen
That’s what it’s all about :)
Wow, this blew my mind! I assumed you were going to carefully lay down each piece, one by one, but then you attacked them with the rotary cutter and shoved them inside, hahahaha! The result is gorgeous and the tulle hardly visible. I’m going to rescue all the crumbs from all my bins and try this! Delightful!
🤣🤣 it was so satisfying to cut them like that and ram them in there 🤣
Me, too! How fun and charming. Thank you!
Yeah! Very clever! I loved it! ❤
Me too. I couldn’t believe you were chopping them up into tiny bit. The result is amazing. I love it, and didn’t look too difficult to do. 😀
Me too.what a clever idea and sew easy for a beginner like me😊
Wow, I’m watching from Nova Scotia, Canada and think what you have created is terrific. At 75, I’ve decided to take sewing up again and will definitely be giving this a go. You are a wonderful teacher…..thanks so much!
I too and a Canadian, from Ontario. Hi!
I have a whole huge jar of fabrics I cut up into "crumbs" and wasn't sure what to do with them. Now I know! Thank you Rachel!
I'm in Michigan and 75 and I'm going to do this, what fun. After working my 2 jobs lol
Hi from Dartmouth NS
Can you imagine HOW BEAUTIFUL in sparkly Christmas fabrics! OMG!!!
Oh Christmas scraps would be beautiful, especially sprakly that you say. Good Idea, thanks
Mind blown when you took the rotary cutter to the crumbs. I couldn't fathom how you would stitch them together.
A very creative technique. Now I'm off to salvage my "too small" scraps from the bin and see what magic they'll make. Thank you!

No. She does talk too much. Get on with it. We don’t need to be charmed.
@elaineedgar2913 thank you Elaine, don't worry.. you didn't charm us with your comment either
Her voice is the right pitch, and she has a gentle voice that's natural and quite frankly very enjoyable ❤ she would be great reading out loud books, plus there was no annoying music either to put up with. 😊 just lovely and really pleasant ☺️ ❤
Over here across the pond in the good old USA and I enjoyed listening to your tutorial. Thanks for sharing this. What a nice sister you have.
@@elaineedgar2913who peed in your cheerios? You can mute the video. Or not watch at all. Trolls are everywhere, even on quilting videos.
This was beautifully presented. Clear instructions that were shown slowly so we could keep up. No wild back ground music which was nice to have, just nice AMSR moments. Also your speaking voice was so calm and comforting.
I agree!! Her slow, clear explanations, perfect camera angles, and demonstration were so good! Makes me want to try this out NOW!
Really nice. Wish my mom was still around, she always hated to toss out even the tiniest of scraps, I think she would have loved this technique.
First, you're lovely to listen to.
Second, I've always felt so silly for saving all my tiny scraps, so thank you for justifying that for me.😊
I BELIEVE this is the MOST easiest and PERFECT project to use scraps;esp of a collection that we love to buy, just CAN'T throw those lovely pieces away. ❤❤❤❤ Huge THANK you for your sister's creation and you sharing.
This is the prettiest and easiest way to use crumbs that I've ever seen. I try to not waste any materials when working on projects. I send my thanks to you and your thoughtful sister you made you the first one. God bless you.
You and your sister earn accolades for this approach. It is just awesome.
I like the way you attached the binding from the front to the back, for beginners like me it helps to conceal any bloopers along the way and the corner miters (US) lay flat.
This is genius, I could see making a bag this way.
Absolutely!
Great video. The bag making was on one of the episodes of the 2024 The Great British sewing Bee on BBC
I could not have predicted how it would come out! It really is a lovely blended watercolor effect and the quilting/padding makes it just look like it's so cozy and would be wonderful to touch!
Great video. Never have I ever seen anything like this! Had to try it right away. Dropped all my other sewing and just dove into all those scraps!!! Sew fun!!!! 17:17
You are a natural on camera .what a great idea … I’m on it!
I LOVE that quilt of houses on the side wall!!!
Love the scrap idea after watching this video, so saved everything from my cutting today, then remembered I had some scraps in the little bin in the bedroom where I do my sewing. Took all the scraps out of that bin and found the safety cap to my thread cutter/snipper that had been missing for a few days.

Lovely! And what a thoughtful sister. I guess I’ll start saving those tiny random bits!
Now you have a project to use them for!
Wow! Perfect idea for Christmas gifts. I can taylor each one for each grandchild, so everyone has one that is just for them! They will love it and I will have a blast making them! Thank you for the great idea! Jean Colorado USA
Absolutely beautiful, Rachel! I love how you added the bears on top! Super sweet! And, the quilting is the cherry on top of the sundae!! 💟
It's a great project Rachel. I will definitely give it a go. I hate to throw out even the tiniest of scraps. Thank you.
Hello🇨🇦
Ohmygoodness! What a find! I've seen other confetti techniques, but not one as simple as this. No nonsense - just do it! Eye catching idea. Thank you so much Rachel.
I love how you tucked the Care Bears in there. It's adorable.
That is such a great way to use up the little scraps. I loved how the bears really gave it character. Thank you for showing us how to do confetti crumb quilting Rachel. xx
Wow. I have watched videos for 6 years and I just discovered you. Your presentation is so relaxing, instructional, and encouraging. I will sit and binge watch I am sure. Thank you.

Haha I thought crumbing was about sewing little pieces of fabric together. This blew my mind. ❤ thanks!
Brilliant. I loved this. Can't wait to make it once my broken wrists have healed !!!!!
Poor you. I have one broken wrist and I find it very difficult to do things. Hope that your wrists get better soon 😘Xx
At last someone has got a sewing machine like mine Husqvana they are magic. Lovely use of bits, thank you Marilyn
They really are!
I agree, love mine too
I was very curious when I read the title of your video. Surprise, surprise! I had no idea about this fun technique. Alas, I have thrown out so many little bits and now I am mourning their loss. The Care Bears was a touch of genius. Just subscribed.
You never cease to amaze me, it's just magic how you make something awesome from scraps.

I can hardly believe this! I would never have thought of using the mesh and just throwing the scraps in there! Brilliant!!
What a fun and simple project. This is going to be something I do for sure. I love the idea of a sewing machine mat.
I've been saving batik scraps for a couple of years. I'm definitely going to try this, thank you!
I just cant stop thinking about this adorable project since I stumbled across your video and I just have to thank you!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful project. All the scraps will not be wasted at all. Confetti placemat is a good idea.♥️
I’ve been cutting up all my scraps and using them in pillows. I like this idea too. Very nice.
What a brilliant idea. No glue. Looks lovely.
This is simple, amazing and beautiful
what a lovely place mat, I have a basket full of scraps sitting behind my sewing machine, now I know how to use them up. Thank you for sharing.
love all the crafts works behind you
So much fun!!! I have so many teeny scraps that I can't bear to toss. This is perfect! This would be the perfect way to make bags as well.
This is the craziest most amazing thing I’ve seen in awhile!! 😳🤩 I’m so impressed!! 💕
Rachel I love this project. I can’t wait to make one! What a wonderful sister to gift one to you. I have pink organza with sparkles it will make a great gift. The quilting lines just had that magical touch. I love it! Happy stitching.
That lamp shade caught my attention and it's so so beautiful ❤️ Just discovered your channel... Going to have a look at your videos now. Enjoy!
Wow, Rachel! That's brilliant. I never would've thought of doing this in a million years, but it's quite cool. These would make such great placemats and is such a great idea for those crumbs of expensive, beautiful fabrics.
Love this technique...so much fun and easy. I made placemats for gifting.
Really enjoyed watching this and amazed at the results. 😊
Wow love how you have demonstrated this so easily to follow
Love to idea of saving the bits of fabric for this project
I'm new to quilting so I'll definitely use this video

Such a cute and clever little mat!
Oh crumbs......that was absolutely delightful. I would never have thought to cut the pieces of material to do this this way. I can't wait to make a mat for my sewing machine which often slips about. Thank you Rachel.
This would be an adorable laptop case
I am SHOCKED! I love it. 😍
When you were putting the fabric inside the netting I really didn't think it would work, but it was lovely. Thank you for the tutorial.
I just ordered soft & stable and some large Organza bags that I can cut to use, because i didn't want to buy yards of it. I'm going to make a pad for my sewing machine to sit on..I'm so excited! Thanks for the tutorial. 😀 🌻🌞

I have seen this done before by an American lady, i have lots of liberty scraps and will so try making something with them with this method, thanks for the inspiration🤩
A wonderful new twist on crumb quilting! Awesome!
This is the BEST idea I have seen for using up scraps!! Thank you!
Fascinating. Didn't see that coming. Turns out really nice.
Thank you for sharing this. It looked so beautiful. Who doesn’t love a liberty print and to use all your scraps is amazing
Great lesson, you are clear and concise. I will try, eventually.
I was thinking: no, that’s too messy. That’s not for me…. 😳 I LOVE IT!!! I can’t wait to have time tomorrow night to sew!!!
Have fun with it!
Love it. Especially the reference to the rag market. Very clear instructions. Thanks
Super dramatic! A lovely tutorial with a Wowsers! end result. Would make a fun project for ornaments, stockings, etc. to hang for Christmas. Endless possibilities with whatever colorway chosen. Thank you for sharing this creative idea.
That’s such a clever way to use up scraps. Really lovely. 🙋🏼♀️💕
Incredible!! I'm new to quilting, and I've felt so guilty throwing away mini scraps, and now I know exactly what to save them for!!
Interesting method. I use my scraps by putting them right sides together, sewing them, folding them over, finger press and add another scrap. I keep doing this until I have a large enough square.

Absolutely gorgeous! Have been wondering what I’m gonna do with all my little pieces that I can’t throw away. Thank you for giving me a great idea. Love it so much.

I'll try to do this confetti proyect .

This is absolutely beautiful. What a fabulously clear tutorial, thank you. I cannot wait to try this.
This is really lovely. I do not do quilting of any kind but this would be great for using up small scraps. Great idea.
I was wondering why you were cutting those scraps so many times until you started putting them between the tulle (netting) and the foam. Then I thought "Well that's brilliant! LOVE this! I will definitely be trying it! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I’ve just given this a go with some Liberty scraps I couldn’t bear to get rid of - just made two mug rugs to give as a housewarming pressie! Thank you for the tutorial 😁
When you said crumbs I thought oh no. However this is so cool. I will have to save my bits and give it a go. Thanks for sharing.
Wow I have never seen anything like that. Beautiful, so beautiful.
After that tutorial I HAD to subscribe! I know there's going to be many, many great projects on here that I'll want to see! And I'm making that crumb mat today.
Que lindoooo!!!
Vou tentar.
Amiga que voz doce pra ensinar.
Thank you Rachel! I have never seen this technique before. I'm a quilter & RUclips addict. I'm thrilled to try something new.
I’m going to give you bonus points because of your beautiful accent before I even finish watching this video 🤓. And now that I’ve watched the whole thing, I love this project! Thank you for sharing it 🌼
