yes I want to make a scrap quilt and yes I save scraps. But I also crazy quilt, which uses the scraps. I also make crafts and journal covers with scraps. Not all quilters just quilt. I have also made material out of scraps and they make beautiful pillows. I know its beyond scrap quilting but I enjoy doing all of these. right now Im doing hexi needle books out of scraps and old clothing that is still usable. I enjoy just using the fabric to see what I can create....so much fun.
I am totally with you. I find that crumb quilting is a stress buster. I don't even care what comes of them but I do use them to practice free-hand quilting. My mom actually loves them and requests crumbs in table toppers, purses etc. I also like the randomness of sizes. I'm sorry, but everything 2.5 in squares is boring.
I'm definitely a Wannabe! I've made a grand total of 3 quilts in my life; and I hate to throw away anything that could conceivably be used. Some day I will have enough scraps to make a beautiful scrap quilt! That's gonna take a few more finished projects...
I am a scrap wanna be. I’ve started cutting up my scraps into sizes from 1” to 5”. I’m keeping them in baskets organized by color. Can’t wait to start a quilt. I came upon Lori Holt recently and became hooked on wanting to do scrappy. Then I found you! Love you both. I love your videos and projects.
I am a scrap queen. And last year your organizing by color and size really helped me. I like to be able to pull the scraps by color.. I like doing organized scrap quilts, but I also like the mindless activity of crumb or scribble quits with the little pieces. My big problem now is to go and use up those orphan blocks.
I love the analogy to vegetable scraps...I save 1.5, 2 ,2.5 and 3.5strips
This is the best video ever on dealing with scraps and helping quilters figure out their IQ. I have always felt guilty because scraps are
overwhelming to me whereas many of my quilting buddies are doing magical quilting projects with them. Your comments were liberating to me!!
I love making crumb quilts! I also follow Lori Holt's scrap system and scrap buster videos. The smaller bits I put into a fleece "pillow case" like shape and make into pet beds. You should make a crumb quilt as a monthly sew a-long! Thanks for everything you do, you have made my quilting world a wonderful place to be!
I’m a guilt scrap quilter. I feel guilty about those scraps and so I make a scrap quilt and give it to charity.
Hi Pat...I have tons of scraps. I am currently making my third scrap quilt using coordinated colors for each block. I haven't had a good storage system for my scraps; but I intend to create one, using your suggestions. For now, I am keeping those coordinated fabric groups together in small bundles to make other scrap quilts without having to go through the time-consuming process of choosing colors all over again. Once my scrap collection whittles down, I'll cut everything left over into pre-cut sizes. For me, it is a relief to use up my scraps before starting a quilt with new fabrics. I sure enjoy your teaching style and your creative, fun spirit!
I’m an occasional scrapper. I make a couple scrappy quilts per year, and keep only the precut sizes. The trick for me is to make sure that I don’t have more scraps than my bins will hold. If they start getting to be too much, I stop the non-scrappy projects and start a scrappy one to get it back under control.
I cannot imagine ever getting rid of any fabric that I have. I’m hooked. I’m eyeing women’s dresses and tops thinking ohh I’d love that material.
I have made way to many scrap quilts and 2021 is the year of no scrap quilts. Giving myself a break from them. I packaged up scraps and gave them to charity. Feel a weight taken off me and know they will be doing good for the less fortunate. Now I can concentrate on what I want to do. Great video. Thanks
I have never made a scrap quilt, but have always wanted to. After seeing your checkerboard quilts recently, I gathered my scraps together and for the last two days have been salvaging 2-1/2" squares out of the tangle. Thanks for the idea! Now my scraps are neat, organized, and ready to go. Now if I can just figure out what to do with the incorrectly cut strip sets that came from one of the first quilts I made! Still perfectly good fabric (lots of it). They just were cut a smidge too short for what was needed.
This was a great chat. Thank you for helping me give myself permission to let my scraps go! ☺️
Yes!!!! I love making scrap anything & Everything!
I'm a scrap queen. They are easy, minimal measuring and the colors don't care who they sit next to.
I'm an occasional scrap quilter. The most beloved one I made was for my daughter....it was a nickel quilt patter "Four Patches and Friends". I used scraps of colors and neutrals - a lot of them, as she wanted a king size quilt. Finished size was 105" square. So bright and colorful.
I love scrap quilts. I have fabric from at least 20 years ago. I do make quilts from coordinating fabric also and use my yardage to put some coordination in the quilt. I have found that if I buy yardage off the bolt, I always buy least 1/2 yard so I can cut into a layer cake if need be. I sort by yardage, colored scraps, fat quarters by color or collection, jelly strips, 10 in squares, 5 inch squares, and 2 1/2 inch squares. I just started collecting small bits in a container for crumb blocks. I blame that on Pat. Thank you, Pat. I love putting to use all my scraps.
Definitely scrap queen. I only make scrap quilts. The more fabrics the better. I store my fabrics by color.
I'm not a professed scrap quilter. I am a scrap saver. I cannot throw out scraps. I have 2 x 2 in , 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 in , 4 in, 5 in, and an odd size scrap tote. My granddaughter, at age 14, made a 9-patch of 4 in scraps as her first quilt and repeated through out the process that she loves scraps. So this tells me my time is not wasted in creating this variety of scraps. Nice to know a Scrap Queen.
I’m definitely the scrap Queen lol. I love scraps and make mostly scrap quilts. Crumbs are my favourite 🤣. I know some people think I’m nuts. It makes my heart happy 🥰🥰
This is cool. I am an occasional scrapper…but I love the idea of many different fabrics all together
I am the occasional scrapper, I am in the process of making two tops, right now using my scraps, mostly because I have to get them under CONTROL.. I keep those sizes as well, the pre cut sizes, they are easier to work with for sure. I sew them in the middle of my regular projects..I keep them mostly in clear bins labeled as to what they are.. So I don't have to go crazy looking for what I need.. I do love these topics, I think they are helping us all corral our scraps.. The scrappy projects are wonderful as well..
1. Yes
2. At least 12 baby quilts and at least 3 lap quilts-all for humanitarian aid
3. I sorted by fabric for baby quilts (cotton and flannel), then by color (boys and girls). Next step, sort by size.
Sounds like I’m a Scrap Queen!
I’m a queen 👸, 95% of my quilts are scrappy backed - love the crumbs
I wished I watched this video before I made my first scrappy quilt. The mountains of little pieces overwhelmed me & I have come to realise I prefer coordinating prints for my projects. I now only keep 2.5" squares but no more 1.5" squares. The scrappy quilt I've made will be gifted.
I am an occasional scrapper I purchase fabric by only a handful of designers so my fabrics all tend to work together. Sometimes I start a quilt with a fat quarter bundle if a particular collection but often I go straight to my scraps and fat quarter collection to make a quilt
I am a wanna be scrap quilter. I’ve planned to make quilts for years and have not made one yet. I have the fabric but can’t get started. Life always gets in the way. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You can do it!
I am the scrap queen. I really feel like a fabric recycling fabric queen.
I make controlled scrappy quilts. The fabrics must coordinate with each other. When the top is done I use the leftover fabric in the backing and sometimes the binding.
All the time I love scrap quilts. Have just made 14 for a children's hospital.
I've never made a scrap quilt. I began making The Splendid Sampler with scraps. I set that project aside and began making specific projects. I still consider that project A UFO, because I've yet to pick it back up and work on it, though the intentions have been there. I've produced so many more scraps since that project started!! Last year when you did the scrap organization, I meant to get in my studio and organize my scraps. Ugh... meant to and didn't. I've got so many bins of scraps now, I'm overwhelmed. So, I must create a management system to get my scraps in a useable state!
I love scraps quilts with all kinds of fabric from left let over fabric.
I do all kinds of quilts and all sizes. I just have 2 bags for scraps, one for solids and one for prints. Then when I started quilting projects (pot holders etc. ) my scraps were seasonal so that needed its own bin. With applique baby quilts, I use precuts. Its all the different types of quilts that I've made, my scraps grew. So of course I love scrap quilts.
Thanks, Pat! I'm an occasional scrapper. This video was very informative. I'm actually trying to organize my fabric and scraps now.
I'm a Queen Scrapper! Love, love, love.
I tend toward scrap queen. I find it very relaxing and freeing because I'm not worried about making a mistake, running out, and wasting fabric. It's just scraps! But I do need to get more organized...
Hi Pat, You should add Jolly Bar cuts (5" x 10") to your list of scrap cuts to save. The Jolly Bar books are great for using up this size of scrap.
Our LQS, pre covid, used to bag up useful scraps and sell them for $5. The proceeds would go to charity. A win win as far as I'm concerned.
Pat, you make me smile every morning!🙂
Our group keeps our little pieces and use to fill pillowcases to create dog or cat beds to donate to animal shelters.
Great discussion of scraps. I make a lot of scrap quilts, but I don’t do scrap quilts exclusively. I need to start a system like yours. I believe I would use more that way.
it helps to have a purpose and then have the fabric organized to meet that goal/purpose
I’m a squeezer ! I buy fabric for a specific quilt. Then when I’m done, I try to squeeze out one more project like a table runner or wall hanging before I move on to another quilt.I also feel like my quilt scraps are too different in style, colors, etc. to go together.
I’m a squeezer too! Coasters, placemats, mug rugs, wall hangings, etc. with my leftover projects fabrics.
Love the photos. It was fun to see the area. Love your quilt videos. Now I shall look forward to seeing your photos in addition to your quilts.
Thanks Pat.
I have made three queen sized scrap quilts using mostly 2 1/2 inch squares and strips. These three quilts went to auction for a fund raiser. One brought $350.00, one brought $500.00, and one brought in $450.00. I was happy with those bids.
wonderful!
I have on made one scrap quilt and that was a baby quilt. This video has given me incentive to organize my scraps. Right now I have 4 bins of scraps that are just put into the bin as they are. My granddaughters love going through the bins to pick out fabric to sew something. They are 8 and 11. I will start cutting them into 2 1/2” and 5” squares. Will be soooo much neater.
Love your videos Pat
thank you!!
I love the spiral bound ones because they lay flat.
🤔 I am a Scrap Queen 👑, I love making scrap Quilt's. I have a system of sorting, and store them in the plastic shoe boxes .
I am an occasional scrapper currently working on Traffic Jam. I am also working on cutting and sorting and organizing my scraps.
Love, love, love this video! Scrap quilts are my passion. Thank you for the ideas.
So much fun! Thank you for posting this video!
I would happily pay a few dollars for a baggie of waste triangles - they are so fun to use! Whenever I see bags of sample squares that the quilt shop gets - I buy them all! You don't need a big piece of fabric when you are cutting hexgons that finish to 5/8 inch or your squares finish to 1/4 inch!
Very useful video, thank you for taking the time to help us through allllll our scraps! We love you too!
Excellent program today. Thank you. I realized I am a scrape wannabe, thinking I was an occasional and maybe I'm really a dreamer. Good to realize but sad for me because I LOVE scrape quilts, always have. I've only made a couple in 15 years. I also have the 'money guilt' you talked about. I think I'll cut some into squares and strips and throw the rest away.
you will enjoy the freedom!
I love making quilts. Some even though they are a particular pattern they are still scrappy. My favorite is the blocks made on paper from MSQC. You get a lot of squares in one package. I have done three quilts using that method and it is a neat way to use up scraps. I start with a 2" white strips, but you could start with any width or color. I just make all of mine white and put them on the diagonal from corner to corner. Then as I have a scrap long enough to make the next strip I add it. Even those little triangles can be used when you get to the last strip. They blocks look a little funky when you first sew them together, but when you trim the edges they are very pretty. You don't have to use the same color strip in the middle of each block, but it does make a neat design when you sew them all together.
I'm a scrap queen through and through. Save all the leftovers AND dumpster dive at quilting get togethers. I have my scraps sorted by size but after more than 36 years I never thought to sort my patterns by size until just recently. Duh! Now when a bin of a certain size gets too full I just grab my 3 ring binder with the patterns using that size, pick a pattern and start sewing.
So enjoyed. Thank you.💖
I’m a scrap dreamer. Thanks for the tips ❤️
Very helpful. Never thought about it this way.
I use Lori Holt’s scrap processing sizes. I process the straggly edges when I finish a project and put in a bowl and later sort them one evening a week.
I save all scraps and they are organized. I have made three queen sized scrap quilts that were given as a fund raiser. The first quilt, 9 years ago went for $350.00. The second scrap quilt went for $550.00. The third one is still being bid on and is at $575.00 with another month to go. All scraps, even the backing. I can’t believe they went for what they did. It was/is fun to watch the bidding.
I loved this video! even I’m new quilting, I now have a big bag full with scraps, so now you gave me the tips to cut in sizes and keep them organized. I hope I can find a super easy Patern to use all my scraps. Thank you Pat!
I love scrap quilts because you use the fabric you have. I accuately look for the scrap quilt patterns..
Excellent info for me this morning! I have moved into the stage of occasional scrap quilter. Just picked up my rainbow quilt (2020) from the quilter and have finished another top that echoes pieces of fabrics I have used in quilts. Am suddenly loving the look that says home, comfort, and free creativity. Thank you.
I make many scrap quilts. I make others too, but as a quilter reared on the idea that quilts were made from leftover sewing fabric and “good” recycled fabric I am a die-hard scrap user 😁.
Terrific session!
Thanks for the info. Just starting to save my scraps so I can start on the right foot. Thanks Pat you do inspire the creative ideas in us.
Love scrap quilts, right now I am working on a string quilt.
Love today's chat, thank you!! I am a Occasional Queen to in between.
Pat, A great organizer system for cutting and storing scraps.
Blessings❣️❣️❣️❣️
Thanks for the hints. I am an occassional scrap quilt maker. I like the suggestion of saving precut sizes.
I am so a scrap queen! Lately I have been just dumping large amounts of scraps ( or part/yardages)into an Ikea bag to give away. If I haven't touched that basket or pile in over a year ,and I am not looking at what is in it because I would want to keep something, I dump it all into a bag and close it so not to look at it again. Eventually it is leaving here. I need to gain control of all my fabric because it has taken over my peace of mind and orderliness.
Really enjoyed todays video. I love doing scrap quilts
Occasional scrapper, today was informative. Thanks Pat.
Adore this breakdown. So honest and thoughtful. Great tips! Thank you
Just found out how much I love scrappy improv quilting.
Great video! Got me thinking about which direction I wanna go with scraps.
Wonderful topic. And excellent advice.
Occasional crumb quilt, when my bin gets full, I decide on what color I have the most of and do blocks.
Loved your breakdown of quilting types! I’m definitely a dreamer..... plus my ASG group is gifted with fabrics all the time. Thanks for the sorting and storage ideas. It really helped.
Great talk today!
I like the bag idea is good.
I'm an occasional scrapper. I am building up scraps to make a checker board quilt. Love the ones you have made! 😃
I am a scrap queen. Just love them. I have made many all kinds. I save many sizes of squares and strips. Thanks Pat I love your videos. 🥰
A utility cart with drawers works well for sewing notions and as a scrap system. And also has wheels for easy movement.
Love this discussion!!!! I always learn so much from you. I need to organize by size. Thanks
I am definitely a Scrap Queen. I always joke that I will die with all my beautiful yardage intact because I'm always playing with my scraps. Every time I go to a guild meeting someone gives me a baggie of batik scraps - love them!
I recently retired and need to organize my scrapes. Thank you for your tips!
Thank you I'm a want -abee scrapp quilter. I am looking forward to now getting scraps organised
Very interesting! As it happens I just started cutting up scraps yesterday. I also started one box of varied width and length strips as I like string quilts. Thanks!
This was a very helpful video for me. I now know I'm an Occasional Scrapper. Good to know and it helps me with my fabric collection - and what I can really do with the my fabric. Clear eyed and guilt free about my scraps now! Thanks!
I’ve only made one, and it was wonderful. I made a kingsize tulip quilt for my MIL. She loves purple, so I dug out every purple I had!
I am a dreamer. Think scrap quilts are beautiful but have not had the courage to attempt one of my own yet. Your info today was helpful as I do save many of my scraps.
I get scraps from my older sister alot and cut them into different size squares and sew them together by 4's or 9 patch quilts. Whatever I have left over I cut into 2 inch squares. I then use them to sew potholders.
Right now, I'm a scrap queen...I love scrap quilts and have made quite a few. I think you make more scrap quilts than you think you do, because you have all those bins of leftover fabric that you use for various projects.
I really enjoyed today’s chat an learnt something new about scrapes and very interested in doing a quilt. I have just started one. Thanks.
Good discussion, and it gave me some good things to think about. I have never made a scrap quilt, but have definitely saved many scraps, with the plan to do one "someday." So you have left me with things to consider. Very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for your great video! I’m definitely a scrap want to be. I collect them just need to do something with them. Thank you for the tips so very helpful.
I also have been following Bonnie Hunter. I love, love, love scrap quilts!
Definitely a Scrap Queen!
