I honestly love low volume fabrics but didn't even realize they were low volume....ha! A scrappy low volume quilt would be an awesome project to see!!!!
I just discovered your channel and I love your funny and bubbly personality! You are fun and easy to watch, you’re totally relatable and I love your tutorials - they are very well explained. Thanks for your scrap-inspiration today, it’s just the kick in the butt I need to tackle my scraps. I would love a tutorial on a crumb quilt.
oh my, is that a stash of yarn on your shelves ?? talk about it soon. would love to see more of that. it seems like crafters have multiple things we like to do. While i too have a yarn stash, i have begun quilting now that i am retired and am addicted to buying fabric and dreaming of finished projects. thanks for the great ideas and great directions for project.
Yes! I used to be primarily a knitter before I started quilting. I do some spinning as well :). I agree, most crafters seems to do many things-especially with quilting since it isn’t the most portable hobby ever :)
I don’t have that many scraps but I love English paper piecing and recently bought an accuquilt with EPP dies that cut 1 inch pieces so I will save my scraps for that!
I am not good at the really free form crumb quilting - right now I start with a long strip and sew other scraps to it and kind of go from there with a log cabin type of quarter turn. I am never particularly pleased with the results. My fabrics are a little older and have a ton of men's shirting scraps so they are not bright and colorful. I am thinking of color picking a little before I start sewing next time. Not everything has to be bright but maybe if I like the fabrics together to begin with I will be more pleased with the results. I would be very pleased to see a crumb quilting video. Thank you.
I think low volume plus a rainbow would be wonderful. Maybe diagonal string blocks with a color on one side and low volume on the other. So many lay-out possibilities. (New subscriber here!)
Welcome! That would be a lot of fun! I agree on the layouts--those little diagonal string blocks are so fun and quick to make and you can do so much with them.
I thought my one scrap bin was too many scraps. I try to keep the amount I have on hand contained to this one large bin by making 4-5 scrap quilts every year.
Low volume is style of fabric. It’s usually a white or cream fabric with a small print on it. Here are some google image results that are probably better than my poor explanation! www.google.com/search?q=low+volume+quilt&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS787US787&hl=en-US&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALeKk01xvOEpNVytTFbx-QSGE7X1Zfpsgg:1595009624258&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOvMTw8dTqAhUQP60KHYgqBu8Q_AUoAnoECA0QAg&biw=414&bih=622
Hmmm 🤔 I’m not sure what you mean. “Strings”. What is that? I’m pretty sure it’s not what I know as ‘strings’. In Australia, strings are the twangy bits on a ‘stringed’ instrument. Or lengths of string, ie a type of thin spaghetti like twine mostly made from jute. I can’t imagine using strings in quilting, as I understand what that means So I’m thinking your ‘strings’ refers to fabric strips. If I’m wrong please tell Oh ok. I just got to the part of the video where you say what you consider is a string Now I just have to fit that knowledge in my brain 🤪 because it seems really really weird right now. We speak English but there are differences.
Hello, I would like to see you make a string quilt with lots of different colours please. I am really enjoying your channel, I only found it 2 weeks ago. Thanks for all the great scrap management ideas. I have a few tubs to get organized.
I blame you for the 3 day journey of scrap trimming. Before you, I blithely stuck it in a box to “deal with later” now, I trim them as I go and I have obliterated the scrap bins!
"I know you have them, too. You cannot hide them from me!" LOL -- Would love to see a low volume crumb or string quilt with pops of color. Also, low volume fabrics are something I don't seem to have much of in my stash. Any tips on what to consider when adding low volume to your stash? Do you try to just stick with W.O.W. or ivory or light prints or . . .?
I can't wait to do another string quilt!! and I really need to tackle those low volumes again! As for shopping, I wish I had great advice--I have a lot of low volumes I don't even know how to use since I just buy things I like without thinking! I do try to stick to white whites or gray whites instead of creams but theres always a few that sneak it anyway. I do tend to use a lot of text prints, so I'm always on the lookout for those!
Hello! Just found you and watched your scrap cutting video, then saw this one pop up. Excellent information & very helpful! I'm a new quilter & just beginning to run into scrap management issues. It's great to learn how to cut & sort from the start, more scrap management tips, please! Thank for putting this video together. I'd love to see a scrappy rainbow color wash quilt!
Im watching this video 3 years after posting, but I’d love to see you make a black and white (black/grey and low volume) quilt project. Your color choices are super vibrant and happy, but perhaps something that you don’t normally gravitate towards/challenging?
I love scrap quilting. I would say, everything would decide would depend on the availability of sewing time. The layer cake fabric would be a speedy project. As you go smaller fabric more time will be needed to complete the project. I am for a strip quilt project because I have such a quilt on "round to it list".
I cut into standard sizes that I have patterns for. Then I have a bin of small pieces - generally less than 2" wide. I see the small pieces together to get a 10 inch square. I pair that with a white 10 inch square and make 4 half square triangles. I make Chevron quilts with the half square triangles.
I have all my scraps in bags to I’m going to start making out of them to donate. I’m new to your channel God bless you and your family I just started a channel
I would love to see pictures of the scrap quilts you already finished. I would love to make one but there are too many projects to choose from, I cannot decide.
I would like to see you do a wonky log cabin square to show me how to do it. I've seen some other videos but I really like the way that you teach thank you very much for your videos 🙂🌺
I love your video about scrap management so much that I just spent about three days organizing my scraps similar to the way you did! It opened up so many possibilities! I tend to look first at the size and love precuts, so when I organized I did so by size, making as many precuts as I could. I finished my organization today! Thank you so much for your inspiration! I love your channel!
Any type or color would be great but I'd love some ideas for what to do with the layer cake squares. I'm trying to cut up my excess yardage into usable sizes and need to branch out beyond making jelly rolls.
I love seeing how everyone organizes their scraps. Your rainbow order is beautiful on your carts. I mostly cut strings of various widths. When I’m trimming scraps I also like to cut out a couple Dresden blades and hexies. If I can I sometimes cut enough hexies for a flower but scrappy flowers are fun too. I’ve tried the ziploc baggie storage system and It does not work for me. I like to dig through my scraps and grab what calls my name. With the bags I end up with a huge mess that then needs to be cleaned up. Cleaning is not much fun. I’ve been using the colorful plastic shoe boxes from the Dollar Tree and it’s been working really well for me. If I make a mess It stays contained in the bin but it’s also quick and easy to clean up when I’m done. I would love to see a low volume crumb project with splashes of color but anything scrappy would be fun to watch.
I’ve started so many epp flower/other shape quilts and never make it very far! I just don’t have the patience for a long term project like that as much as I love the look.
I would love to see you to make a strings quilt from low volume strings. It could be any color, but a single color and volume. Not just all pinks but all hot pinks. A low volume with all whites with light minimal prints. I’ve wanted to do a quilt like this myself, but can’t get excited over a pattern. It would be awesome if you could give me some ideas
Thank you for these videos. I just inherited 18 tubs of fabric from a quilter who can’t quilt anymore. I am a little overwhelmed on who to organize it all. I probably have 20 UFO’s from her. Do a crumb quilt.
Hi there I just discovered this channel, I’m making a string quilt, it’s hard to imagine how many quilts you can make without really making a dent in your scrap collection.
Be sure to tell me what kind of scrap quilt pattern you'd like to see! I'm excited to dig into the piles of tiny pieces!
Tiny Orchard Quilts I would like to see a string scrap quilt thank you God bless you and your family
I dare you! Gradient Rainbow-color 'franken' Crazy Quilt using blocks with all 4 sizes (cakes, charms, strips, crumbs)! Love your rainbows.
Log cabin, please.
I honestly love low volume fabrics but didn't even realize they were low volume....ha! A scrappy low volume quilt would be an awesome project to see!!!!
How about a Temperature Quilt?

Very helpful and interesting! Thank you.
I’d like you to make a small Crumb quilt tutorial. ❤️
Definitely a crumb quilt. Rainbow in color. Hello from NJ.
I don’t have that many scraps but I love English paper piecing and recently bought an accuquilt with EPP dies that cut 1 inch pieces so I will save my scraps for that!
I would love to see a crumb quilt. Thanks!
I’m working on one now!! ❤️

Second time watching this. Still great and always a good reminder.
QASG string quilt, solid, bright rainbow quilt. Thanks fo your tutorial!
Great video
I’m so glad I found your channel!
Me too!! I hope you enjoy it :)
I would love to see a low volume crumb quilt ♥️ by the way I love your hair like this
Crumb quilt please. The ones I’ve done are totally chaotic so some kind of color scheme would be nice!
What is the smallest piece you keep?
I loved your blueberry crumble quilt. I’d like to see you make a crumb quilt in purple or mustard yellow/gold.
I keep anything over about an inch. :) mustard is definitely a favorite of mine!!
I suggest using your pink 10” shares to make a large quilt - very scrappy
I think low volume plus a rainbow would be wonderful. Maybe diagonal string blocks with a color on one side and low volume on the other. So many lay-out possibilities. (New subscriber here!)
Welcome! That would be a lot of fun! I agree on the layouts--those little diagonal string blocks are so fun and quick to make and you can do so much with them.
I thought my one scrap bin was too many scraps. I try to keep the amount I have on hand contained to this one large bin by making 4-5 scrap quilts every year.
I vote string quilt with many colors!
I haven't made a rainbow quilt in a while! that could be fun!
What is a “low-volume” quilt?
Low volume is style of fabric. It’s usually a white or cream fabric with a small print on it. Here are some google image results that are probably better than my poor explanation!
www.google.com/search?q=low+volume+quilt&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS787US787&hl=en-US&prmd=sivn&sxsrf=ALeKk01xvOEpNVytTFbx-QSGE7X1Zfpsgg:1595009624258&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOvMTw8dTqAhUQP60KHYgqBu8Q_AUoAnoECA0QAg&biw=414&bih=622

how about a string quilt

crumb, please -- pink/red
How about a colorful quilt made with 10” squares AND low volume strings.
That’s a fun challenge!! ❤️
I sew my crumbs together as I sew to make bigger pieces. then turn them into pouches and animal scarfs.
That’s a fun idea! Definitely less daunting than an entire quilt top!

I would like yo see a low volume colored quilt. You may choose to add some color as well. But I would be curious to how you use the scraps.
A colorful string quilt would be fun! I’m super interested in how you’d use your crumbs for a project as well!

Thanks for watching! A color wash quilt sounds AMAZING!
Would love a layer-cake friendly quilt! And impressive organization!! 🧵❤️

I’d love to see anything you make with scraps but a layer cake one would be good. Love watching you, thanks for your videos.
Layer cakes are such useful precut sizes! I'll definitely add that to my list of quilts to make :)
I love scrap quilting. I would say, everything would decide would depend on the availability of sewing time. The layer cake fabric would be a speedy project. As you go smaller fabric more time will be needed to complete the project. I am for a strip quilt project because I have such a quilt on "round to it list".
As a new quilter, what is low volume scraps? They appear to me to be very high volume! 😂
Thanks for the definition! Enjoy your videos!
How about a string quilt with a same- color crumb-quilt pillow?
I cut into standard sizes that I have patterns for. Then I have a bin of small pieces - generally less than 2" wide. I see the small pieces together to get a 10 inch square. I pair that with a white 10 inch square and make 4 half square triangles. I make Chevron quilts with the half square triangles.
I have all my scraps in bags to I’m going to start making out of them to donate. I’m new to your channel God bless you and your family I just started a channel
Welcome! And yay for a new channel! Its been a really fun journey so far!
Tiny Orchard Quilts Thank you 🙏 I’m trying I enjoy doing the channel
I have a lot of 4 inches, charm pack and layer cakes, all different colour but don’t know what to do with them!! If you have an idea, I will be happy.
I like how you organize. Please show an example of what you have made with scraps in the past so we can be more willing to follow your example.
I love purple green yellow and black and white. Using crumbs or strips.
Are they true crumbs if they’re planned by color? I love the mad crazy colors you get when it’s totally random.
I would love to see pictures of the scrap quilts you already finished. I would love to make one but there are too many projects to choose from, I cannot decide.
Hello, I love your videos. Please make a crumb quilt, I'm not sure how to make one.
I would like to see you do a wonky log cabin square to show me how to do it. I've seen some other videos but I really like the way that you teach thank you very much for your videos 🙂🌺
Megan you are so adorable and I really miss hearing from you. I hope all is well with you and your family.
Really enjoy watching your videos. I recently made a crumb quilt. It was so much fun. I would like to see you make a string quilt.
Can you please show what these scrap quilts are. Crumb, etc
How do you store your big rolls of batting, and your batting scraps?
I want to make a scrappy string hot pad or pot holder that includes selvage edges.
Thanks for all the great ideas. Can you tell me what is a low volume quilt?
Thanks for this video! Love it. I’ve spent the first days of this new year sorting scraps using your advice. Thank you!
It's been a year. Can you make a recap video of the scrap projects you made this past year?
I would like to see a project with your 5” scraps. 😊
I challenge you to use up all of your fabric before buying more.
String Quilt & Low volume and any colors
Love your videos. What do. you mean by low-volume?
I’d love to see baby quilts using any size of your scraps.
Where are you? You are missed! I hope you are well!
Can you please send the link to scrap management.
My scraps are cut into squares and placed in bins by size.
I would like to see what you could make with the charms.
Show us your favorite choice please.
What is a pattern for crumbs?

Hey beautiful. I would like to see what you make from crumbs. I have a bunch left over from making masks and need ideas. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Crumb scraps
Improv scrappy quilts are my favorite. Less cutting and planning with more ah ha! moments as the random magic shows itself.
crumb quilt
Thank you for these videos. I just inherited 18 tubs of fabric from a quilter who can’t quilt anymore. I am a little overwhelmed on who to organize it all. I probably have 20 UFO’s from her.
Do a crumb quilt.
Love your videos! So inspirational. I have NOT been saving my scraps, but I’m going to start now!
Fantastic!!
Really loved your video about how to organize scraps it was very helpful Thank you so much. ❤
Hi there I just discovered this channel, I’m making a string quilt, it’s hard to imagine how many quilts you can make without really making a dent in your scrap collection.
I’d love to try a scrappy Boston Commons quilt
I need to go look that up!!
