    A lady in our quilting group gave me a great idea - She lays the crumbs on another piece of fabric, then zig zags over the lot in a large, wide stitch. Creates new fabric. I did this onto a 20cm wide piece of plain fabric, used it for the best coasters ever!

I am the person that will go thru the trash after classes and pull out what others have thrown away........I once found a fat quarter. My threshold is " can I make a 1" finished size. I have two friends that will use it if they can make a seam and see fabric.

I made hubby an extra long quilt from scrappy 2.5” strips for his side of the bed. I’ve been doing crumbs this year and have assembled backings to sew into vinyl-fronted project bags for my quilt bee friends. It’s so fun to see the contents of my scrap bins diminishing.

    I have three categories of scraps: big enough for solo projects, too small for solo and crumbs. The crumbs are going to be cut up more and used as stuffing!

    • @judithburke1539
      @judithburke1539 3 года назад

      Sometimes I get a random strip of fabric and start adding crumb to it. I try to make sure that I leave a little space between the crumbs so that I can cut the strip in a straight line. Then I can get another strip and add the double crumbs to that. And once again give them some space for cutting another straight edge. Keep on going until you get a large enough piece to cut into the size you want.

    I spent a good portion of my Stay at Home time this summer going through my scraps to create as many 6" crumb blocks as possible. I'm up to 49 blocks, and home to have enough to make a quilt for the twin bed in my guest room. There is something very relaxing and satisfying to have a bin filled with scraps that most people would have thrown away, and end up with so many really cool crumb blocks.

    Tiny little pieces and threads go into a small-ish flower pot out near the bird feeders in late winter. The birds collect them and incorporate them into nests. It's so much fun to be cleaning out nesting boxes in the fall, and find little pieces of last year's projects, knowing who is using which item.

      Ohhh my goodness both of you lady's just made my night!!! I thought It was just me who was "attached" to my fabric!!!! I am seriously so bad some times that I can't even use it!! I think I need HELP... But seriously I'll have a plan, pick a design or quilt pattern, buy the fabric and then when I get home and go to cut it up to sew, I can't bring myself to do it, I just can't do it....its too pretty orbim affaid I won't be able to buy more I guess...I love sewing, quilting ect, but I don't get much DONE and whenever I do start a project it's with fabrics I don't like so much, so then that raises yet another problem, Im working with fabric I'm not crazy about so it's hard to stay inspired!!! I've tried to over come this issue but haven't as of now... I think maybe it's because I love love love looking and feeling all the pretty threads and fabrics so much, and they are so very expensive for me... OK, I sound CRAZY, maybe that's why I have never say this outloud....lol.

      I often say, "lI need to live 2 more lifetimes just to use up my pretty fabrics". Well, I'm going to start using these 'jewels' right now and enjoy the results while I still can! There's no time like the present, right?! I'm sure I'll enjoy it instead of trying to live more lifetimes. Hey, once was enough for me! Here I go...I'm going to cut, then sew, sew, sew!

    Karen, would love to see a little more on using the paper strips to make the crumb strips. I've made a small quilt from crumbs and mug rugs but crumbs are everywhere and still multiplying. I am not well seasoned in this venture so am not quite getting the concept of what you did but it is beautiful.

    When piecing scraps and crumbs, I like to just finger press and topstitch. This way the pieces lie flat and I don't have to bother with ironing, just sew and relax. Yes, this uses more thread, but we all have scrap thread too.
