    I read the comments about waste. Waste is in the eye of the beholder. I save my scraps, divide them into sizes (placed into zip lock bags) and have made some really crazy and whacky quilts, and sometimes they have been used to save the day. Unless you are sewing charms beside one another and making one plain square quilt, there will always be some waste, and again what one determines is waste is in the eye of the beholder.
    I see this as a new and unique application for my quilting. The possibilities for this is only limited by your imagination.
    Lastly, this is the reason there are so many patterns, just like a gazillion style of shoes. They don't always hit someone's hot button.

    • @maryjanes9463
      @maryjanes9463 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I took all my scraps too and cut them into usable pieces and placed them into containers so that I could go to them as needed, some as small as 1 1/2” squares and even made a postage stamp quilt out of them. My waste has to be smaller than 1 1/2” for me to toss, I’m not into crumb quilting so I don’t save pieces for that.

Loving the bright colours but you can go anywhere with the colour choice on this . Love it. Thank you.

    This has real paper piecing vibes - as an aside, I thought all quilting was done with scrap material and bits of paper. I thought all those 'American' style quilts were really advanced paper geometry! Then, after finally finishing a double quilt I have been making with small rectangle notelets as a template, a quilt I have been doing on and off for more than twenty years (!), I watched Donna wizz up a quilt in a matter of hours! Seriously! My second quilt, with Donna as my on line Quilting 'Auntie', took me a weekend - although the hand quilting is taking some time.
    So, thank you Donna for being a truely great teacher, Claire, England. xx

I love watching you sew all those seams, and I especially love watching you cut all that fabric for those beautiful quilts that you make! Your quilts always come out looking so beautiful! Thank you for the tip about putting a weight over my ruler when I do my cutting! That's one of the best tips I've learned from you! And "finger pressing" my seams! I've learned so much from you! Thanks, Donna and Matt, and please keep the videos coming! (Hearts to you both!)

Donna has and I for colors I never could put some colors together if I didn’t see them made up by Donna! She is amazing and I loved every item I have purchased. Matt is also amazing. Bought lots of runner precuts and other precuts. All items are perfectly cut and go to get her quickly. Thanks Donna.

  • @patl869
    @patl869 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I've watched this video several times and what comes to mind is before you put the starburst on the blocks, sew the blocks together first. Next pin or use a glue stick to put the starburst on the blocks. Make your quilt sandwich and NOW stitch the starburst on the blocks, stitch between the blocks, trim and bind.

    This is a great tutorial. I bought the pattern with the ruler last week, before I came across this. I read through the other comments about the "waste" of fabric, but I figured out a way to make the block using 2 !/2" squares, because I plan to use my stash of fabric instead of buying charm packs.

  • @allisonsanzio185
    @allisonsanzio185 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    • @lindsayschilling8707
      @lindsayschilling8707 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I use the leftover scraps, along with scraps from my stash, to make crazy quilt blocks. In a quilt I just completed, i added red prints and red solids to create a red theme which tied all the blocks together. I then sashed them with a bright Christmas red solid; the quilt is stunning; it's one of my favorite quilts. Who knew!!! Also, once you have pieced enough scraps together, you can then cut out any shape you want, squares, triangles, dresden plates, parallelograms, star points, etc. In my quilt, the unifying factor in all the blocks is red. It works, and the crazy blocks are fun and very liberating to make ❤

    • @hume6900
      @hume6900 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The other thing you could do would be to combine the scraps into blocks and replace some of your backing fabric. If there are enough scraps it could make your table runner reversible.

    • @janhughes-ij2ib
      @janhughes-ij2ib 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The blocks for 4 patch seem to be 3" sq. The wedge at the bottom appears to be 4" across. Maybe this info helps you conserve fabric. She cuts so that picked edges are off each side, as well as cutting the smaller sq from charm size.
      Pieces trimmed off using the wedge template are large enough for some other purpose, not just as waste, too.

  • @eshellebennett
    @eshellebennett 3 ปีที่แล้ว +79

    • @lindsayschilling8707
      @lindsayschilling8707 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely! You could even sew the scraps together as you would in a crazy quilt block. You can precut some of the shapes, and/or add other scraps to some of the leftovers from this block; when all sewn together, square up to get perfect blocks. I would use a contrasting fabric to make sashing between the blocks (black, red, or your favorite) to make the blocks pop! Sewing blocks like this is very freeing & fun! ❤

    I was thinking of a Christmas runner with the starburst in a variety of white on white fabrics (like a snowflake) on a Christmas fabric. I would add Insul-Bright or other insulated material with the batting so it could be used on table and double as a hot pad for family meals.

Would be fun to know how many countries are represented. Also see several requests for more in-depth explanation for off-setting backing when machine quilting. Love from the Ozarks.

    I agree with everyone that commented on the waste. Such a beautiful runner but it looks like third of the charm squares were cut off. Then almost half of the four patches was cut off again. Made me cringe. This would be great if someone could figure a way to make it with less waste.

      I do agree about the "waste". But hey you can easily stich them together to make a nice extra border or use it in the back or to make some mug rugs . There are so many options 😉

      Here is the "outside the box" way to make the quilt just as Donna did. The pattern calls for 3" squares. You could get 9 of these out of a 10" in layer cake and have only 1" inch of waste per layer cake.

  • @deeparanade5731

    Great close-up video, very tight, thanks! If some don't want to deal with leftovers, consider making a pet pillow to donate to a rescue shelter. It's a great child's beginner sewing project, learning basic terminology, how to sew a line, turn corners, invert, fill and close off. Pillows can be used for soft bedding. At least it's something.

    Like many others, I'm bothered by the sheer waste from this very attractive pattern. I'd draw it out on paper, cut it, then use the bits to draft patterns to cut so there'd be no waste. I have a dresden template so I'd get the angles correct without difficulty. I do enjoy your videos! You're so pleasant and calm and your camera angles make clips that are clear and helpful. Thanks!

      I am new to the quick piece method. Why not cut your own sqares rather than cut down the 5 inches blocks? So much waste. Sure one can sew the itty bitty scraps together, but life is too short. Donna is the best quilting instrucor. She’s precise, articulate, fast, and fun to watch. Wish I lived close enough to visit the shop. I’d probably disappear until the rescue dogs found me!

      Not only the waste- the amount of work! Instructions are great as usual, just not for me. So small, it would take so long to do anything other than a runner or doilies (spelling 🤷) neither are my cup of tea. Again without watching this video it would be tougher.

    To cause less waste, I would use yardage or scraps and measure the template to see if I could use smaller squares. Charm squares are actually pretty expensive per square inch of fabric, and that seems like a tremendous waste of expensive fabric to cut off that much.

    Beautiful! I'm assuming the 'crooked' backing is so that you are sewing on the Bias for easier quilting? Always fun to watch new techniques, even if I am not going to make the pattern. Including templates needed, in patterns, is a great idea. ... and yes...! I was expecting the 'wastage' comments...and it is true, esp. with the cost now, in Canada, for quilting fabrics...remember: we are making only THREE starbursts here..not a whole quilt...so you are not using/wasting a ton of fabric!... but there are ways around this: fussy cut your scraps, or sew scraps together to make a crumb quilt, or use yardage instead of charms... This was a lot of fun to watch!
