    Sidelights - great ideas for efficiency. I love my Stripology ruler. I don’t know that I would ever do a crumb quilt, but Karen Brown absolutely did an extraordinary job on hers.

    Sidelights is a wonderful quilt. Karen Brown is the master of the crumbs! I love my stripology ruler. I use it carefully. I’ve created a crumb or to by not paying attention. 🤦‍♀️

    Karen's crumb quilt is awesome. After originally watching her video, I found some adding machine tape (it's getting hard to find), and it's definitely on my to-do list. I work on it when I want a break from another project. And I love my Stripology ruler!

    That Sidelights quilt top is GORGEOUS! Thanks for the tip on the stripology ruler. I've done crumb quilts, but I follow your advice and use a 2 color theme. (Otherwise my OCD would be a nightmare. LOL)

    Karen't crumb quilt is indeed fantastic. I tried to do the crumb thing with paper but lost interest early on. Thanks for the reminder to quilt efficiently. So many quilts to do, so little time.

    Sidelights. Thanks for the efficiency hint. It took a while but I also finally started stacking those pieces on a design board already played out as needed for the final block. Suggest now a show about efficient sewing.

    Since the Polish word for "grandmother" is "babcia", I wonder if Edita Sitar was actually making granny square blocks.

    • @shawnaleewhitney6630
      @shawnaleewhitney6630 2 месяца назад

      Good point. The block definitely looks like a granny square.

    • @theopinionatedquilter
      @theopinionatedquilter  2 месяца назад +1

      I am sure you are correct, it does look like a granny square.

  • @beckypetersen2680
    @beckypetersen2680 2 месяца назад

    Wow - you really do have a lot of those tops to give away! Beautiful top (but don't need it)....and I also am looking for ways to increase efficiency. I had to laugh at her Babcia Square as it is just a little TATW block modified - almost like a granny square but the other direction. I watched her video at how to make it. I had already planned on making the quilt top. Of course, her color choice/s is the thing that makes it absolutely spectacular...as she seems to have a real knack for choosing those warm colors to put together!

    Sidelights I don't keep crumbs,there are too many large pieces of fabric calling to me in my sewing room. I am working on gathering pieces for your perfect scrap quilt by cutting up scraps after I complete a project. We will see how long it takes to become a quilt

    I’ve noticed that many patterns don’t give instructions for what I would consider a more efficient way of doing things. I think this is often because they want to give the customer the most flexibility in what fabric they are using and how to arrange those fabrics. For example, if I want to make a sawtooth star with all the points the same color, I would use the 4-at-a-time method. But if I wanted to make them 4 different colors, I would use a one-at-a-time method. In your example, Edyta may be anticipating that some people may be using scraps to make the quilt, rather than a fat quarter bundle. I would greatly appreciate patterns having a section at the end that describes more efficient construction alternatives if they exist. For me, this would add a lot of value to a pattern because it’s knowledge I could use int he future for other quilts. The other thing I notice in some patterns is that there will be extra seams that could be eliminated using a better construction method.

      I always reengineer patterns. Optimum methods to include eradicating seams (FG v Hst, diamond rectangles v triangle in square….) I see many talented makers use inefficient methods. Grounded learning the best way to become an independent minded sel sufficient quilters.

    Looks like the link to Karen Brown didn’t make it into the comments but if you search scrap strips to splendor just get it done quilts you will find Karen’s video. Her video on how to do crumb piecing on the strips is called scrap fabric-how to use every small scrap and crumb.
