Oh bless your dear sweet heart ! I am not the only one who keeps projects in progress for 32 years ! Thank you SO much ♥
Haha. Yup. Sometimes that happens. I have so many interests in different mediums. But I’m really happy it is now competed!
yes. It is easy to save projects for years and so delightful when you find time to get back to it.
Fun to see fabric colors and patterns from 35 years ago!
Yes, there were some older fabrics for sure!
I keep saying I’m going to make a quilt and you make it seem so simple! You’re a great teacher❤️
Go for it!
When I accumulate enough scraps I crazy quilt them onto batting. Then I add the back and practice free motion on them. I then donate them to the SPCA shelter for cage mats.
That’s great! Wonderful to practice and make something for the SPCA at the same time. Love it.
Patti you encourage us to make our projects pleasing as well as enjoyable & proud of our work. Thank you ❤
What a lovely comment. Thanks. I’m so glad you will make wonderful crafts along with me.
I speak a little english but I saw your program and you explain very good and nice your work crazy patchwork and I like so much. I am from Panama.
Very thanks you.
Hello from Panama!
I am glad you were able to understand the video and that you enjoyed it as well. That’s great!
Thank you so much Patti, I really really enjoyed watching you create this crazy quilt pillowcase. I really really love ❤️ how it turned out. I’m going to watch part two now. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Happy that you are enjoying the crazy quilt series.
Thank you for this! I have a customer that wants a hat that looks like a crazy quilt and I could not figure out how to do it. You have saved my sanity!
Glad I could help!
I like the technique you demonstrated. It’s different than how I’ve done it. Going to try your way on a square and SAL with you to make a pillow! Fun. Thank you, Patti. ❤
Hope you enjoy! Always many ways to do a sewing project! I say no rights or wrongs. It’s a piece of art!
I really want to make a crazy quilt. You make it look so easy! I will watch this video again before I jump in to make one.
You can do it!
Wow! I love watching you sew! So calming and relaxing! Hope you post more videos!
Thanks! More to come!
32 years! Oh my goodness! I did a crazy quilt about 20 years ago that is on my wall, but I do not remember how I did it, so I'm watching you to recall how to make another one. They are so beautiful.😊
I know crazy huh! So glad I finished it. I was just waiting for a grand daughter I guess. Enjoy getting back to crazy quilting.
Thank you very much. I now know how to do my own crazy quilt piece.
Glad I could help!
Loved it. I've always wondered how a crazy block was made without templates. There is a lot of cutting and thinking,b ut what a stash buster and what a feeling of accomplishment when you are through. Not sure I would have the patience to do a large quilt but a pillow would be just as satisfying. Looking forward to part 2, hurry up.
Part 2 has already been published.

Now I know what to do with all of my weird shaped scraps
Perfect! Enjoy your crazy quilting.
I’ve always wanted to make one of these quilts but never got around to it. Thanks for sharing
You should!
Thankyou patti for sharing.its my hearts desire to learn how toquilt.i love the way u teach.God bless.
Happy to help
You were helpful with using those scraps and I learned more with creating those lines and how to avoid thecwrong straight 😂lines or too much underlined fabric-. So clear and more understand with your teaching- Thank you and I’ll learn Part 2! yay
Thanks for your comment and I am glad that the video was helpful for you.
So much better than regiments of squares…thank you❤
Yes. I think so too. More arty looking.
Thank you for making this so clear and easy to follow! Years of collecting/now know how to start!!!!!
Yeah! Have fun putting your pieces together.
I actually counted yesterday, how many quilt tops I have made that need quilted! 61! yes 61!!! I also, have 7 large totes of all 12.5" square quilt blocks, from over the years, that I've taught classes! I'm in a PhD Masters dilemma lol
We both live busy lives! And I have many arts and crafts that I also love so I get it. Thanks for sharing. I feel much better now. Lol. Hopefully I have given you some encouragement to finish at least one of the 61 quilt tops. Oh my! That could be a fun quilt to put all those squares together into one quilt for a great keepsake of all those lovely classes you taught! Thanks for sharing!
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts You actually have given me that indeed. Thank you!
Cheers!
Greetings from Toronto Canada. Hey Laura, 61 is a great number; congratulations! Have you considered, taking one to a long arm person? We have places near where I live where you can rent space and do it yourself. Like anything else, there is a learning curve. Jordan Fabrics did a video on tying with yarn instead of sewing/quilting. It was pretty cool! Lots of support out there; you go girl! I can smell some charity quilts along the way... lovely fragrance, and lovely you!
@@carollombard1813 I usually do them myself when I have time. I'd really dont want to send them anywhere I don't know. I'm trying to find someone near me.
Amazingly beautiful and creative! I think I could do this, I’m crazy enough to make a bed quilt using this idea. Will watch the whole series ❤ thanks❗️😊
Go for it! It will be a great project. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the video. I really enjoy listening to your explanations. I agree with the poster below: you're a good teacher!
Thanks so much Claire. Glad you enjoyed my style of teaching.
And now I know how to cross stitch too. Very informative.Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Best crazy piecing tutorial I’ve seen-thanks so much ❤
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it.
Thank you so much. This helped me to see why mine were coming out looking like log cabins.
Glad I could help!
It looks confusing but I think i can get it to come out like it should it looks so beautiful I love the crazy quilts Thanks for showing
You can do it!
Thank you for sharing with us. Like your ideas.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Спасибо за понятное видео, даже для тех, кто не знает английский! 🎉
Your welcome!
I've been sewing pieces together for the past couple of days or so. Was getting a little frustrated with how the seams would never lay out flat when I went to sew them together as I sewed the pieces going in different directions. With how you're already sewing the pieces on the "base," it seems to make the seams lay flat at each end or side. I appreciate your instructions and advice on making this kind of crazy quilt "fabric." TYSM for sharing this video with us. 👍😉😍
Yes, I find using the foundation method works great. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Love your confessions. ❤
Yup. It got put on the back burner for awhile!
Great video, thank you.😊
Thanks for watching!
So well explained!!!!
Thanks so much!
Finally get it, the angles bit, showing the extended line using scissors did it. Thanks.
Yeah! Glad you got it!
Love it! Thank you!🙌💖
You are so welcome!
Great art and talent!
Thanks so much!
Hi from South Africa Patty. Wow, what a great piece of work
Hi Gail from South Africa. Glad you liked the video!
Très belle mosaïque merci pour le partage et pour toutes les explications
Translation:
Very beautiful mosaic thank you for sharing and for all the explanations
Vous êtes les bienvenus
You are very welcome
Love this and I have several pieces of the same fabric
Wonderful!
Amazing....I've got a few crazy quilts in progress myself
Thanks for watching. Enjoy sewing up your crazy quilts. They are so fun!
Enjoyed watching you make your "crazy" Quilt blocks. I tried doing a crazy quilt (50 years ago) & did I make a mess! My foundation piece was too large (36x36 inches) and it didn't lay flat...I know better now! Thank you for this video!!
Oh no! Now you can try again and have success!
Thank you so much for this video! This finally made sense to me! I've been trying and trying and you helped me get a better grip on where to start and how to keep moving! I'm using larger pieces for a blanket but I'm imagining the concept is the same?! Fingers crossed
Glad I could help! The larger the pieces the harder it gets. Smaller is easier.
Sp glad I found your channel ... or rather, your channel found me! For a long time I've wanted to do crazy quilting, but lacked the courage and right teacher. Thank you for your tutorial - you have a new subscriber ❤
You can do it! I’m glad you found me too! Enjoy making your crazy quilt!
I used old sheets. I had some very old worn ones that worked perfect.
That's great!
That's what I use too. 🙌 Bed sheets are thin enough, and yet make the block stable.
WOW!! You did that!😀. Thank you!!! for taking the time to put on this YT clinic of making a crazy quilt block. Lots of great nuggets and tips👏🏽👏🏽😊🙏🏽😊❤️. On a separate note what camera nod mic did you use? Everything was crystal clear👏🏽👏🏽
Glad you enjoyed the video. I just use my iPhone. But I adjust volume when editing in IMovie.
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome 😊thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is a great tutorial!!!!!
Thank you!
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I've made a huge pile of 7.5" scrappy blocks. I want to join them but think 2.5" sashing would be too thick. Do you think I should cut 1" strips or 1.5" strips for sashing?
I think 1” strips will be too small. By the time you sew the seam allowances there won’t be much left of the sashings. But there are no right or wrongs as far as I am concerned. It’s really what you like. If you want it to look more like a small accent border or like a matt framing your squares. I would place your sashing material on the table and place your squares on top at different widths that would be possible sashing widths and then step back and have a look. You will see what you like best.
Belíssimo seu trabalho!!

You are so welcome
Crazy quilting is my favorite. There are not many that do videos. I'm still wanting to make some rope baskets and try out your beginning knit slippers. They are on my list. I found some 17 inch foam squares and I was thinking about making a crazy quilt pouf. Have you made a pouf before??
Thanks for all your support and watching the videos. I have not made a pouf as yet but I have a knitted one on my list of to do’s. My to do list is very long. Lol.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I understand, same here.
So many crafts!
Thank you
You're welcome
This would make a really fun tote bag
That would be a fun bag for sure!

Fun fact: if you sew on your patch and flip it over to iron and discover a bit of background showing through, don't panic! Yes, you can add another patch on top or you can embroider something over it, place a piece of lace or other trim over the gap and no one will know! 💖🌞🌵😷
Very true. Thanks for your comment!
Hola , hermoso trabajo . Las telas son todas de algodón . O telas diversas . Tengo trozos de telas de : Lycra , otras con poliéster , otras de algodón . Feliz finde .

Hello, beautiful work. The fabrics are all cotton. Or various fabrics. I have pieces of fabrics: Lycra, others with polyester, others with cotton. Happy weekend.

Use any types of fabric you have. The different textures will make it even more beautiful!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! I wanted to ask you what you have on the bottom of your iron?
Your very welcome.
It’s a Teflon cover. It’s mainly used to prevent scorching on delicate fabrics. It’s been on my iron for over 30 years and I end up just leaving it on as it glides nicely over all fabrics.
Do you bring your bottom bobbin thread to the top of the fabric before stitching? Thank you for a reply in advance
No. I have never bothered to do that.
Awesome! What is on the bottom of your iron.
It’s a Teflon cover. It’s great for protecting delicate fabrics so they don’t scorch and it glides so nicely that I just keep it on all the time.
@Crafty Patti Thank you, Patti. I really like how you sew crazy quilt. I have many scrapes that I'm going to try. Your instructions are easy-to-use, and your patience and soft voice draw me in to want to follow your instructions. You make it seem so easy. Thank you again!
Thanks for the lovely comment Sherri. Much appreciated!
I flip and trim with ruler after stitch.
Lots of ways to do a crazy quilt for sure.
Hi when making a crazy quilt do you add batting in your blanket ?
I show you how to complete your crazy quilt in part 3. Here’s the video.
HOW TO FINISH CRAZY QUILT - PART 3 - Sandwich, backing, sashing, quilting & binding.
Here’s the link for you.
th-cam.com/video/kmK8EkvnL40/w-d-xo.html
I tried to sew a pillow today following the beginning step u laid out so nicely but after sewing the third piece of fabric to the foundation fabric..I got lost..
I couldn't get seem right🙃
Oh dear. Try watching the video again and something might click for you.
Bjr.Helas je ne comprends pas tout en anglais mais la vidéo me montre les mêmes problèmes auxquels je me suis trouvé confronté et comment les rectifier,c'est super! Je serais plus sereine sur le prochain projet.Je m'abonne donc à votre chaîne en espérant avoir la technique du switch dance ou moulin avec la règle spéciale pour "switcher" mille mercis.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for subscribing!
May I ask why you choose to use the muslin under your scrappy pieces? I have never used any muslin or other fabric for my crazy quilts and I’m curious what the advantage is.
I didn’t use muslin. It was unbleached cottons and scraps of other material that I had. Muslin was just a choice of another fabric you could use for your foundation.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts I understand that part. I just don’t understand the purpose of using any fabric under the scraps. So I was asking what is the purpose of the fabric you are sewing the scraps to.
It assists in making flatter and straighter seams as well as you can get a good sense of how your square is turning out as you have the foundation as a guide. I also find it easier to sew to a base than just 2 pieces of fabric together.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts thank you. I will try that technique. I have always just used the scraps because sewing to a base made it 2 pieces of fabric for the quilt top when I make a quilt. This was good information for me to try.
Hope you give it a try next time.
I was told if you do a lot of the pressing open in time it can come apart. Cant you just press to the dark side?
It really is a personal choice. It is a tradition to also add hand embroidery to the seams so there is lots of re-enforcement and is easier done and less bulk if the seams are open.
If you are not doing any embroidery than you can consider pressing to the dark side but sometimes it can create too much bulk. There are always variations on how to do things when sewing and quilting.
I think perhaps you might try a different type of needlework.
I could have shown a lot more stitches in my second video for sure. Because Oma started with the herringbone I wanted to continue in her honour.
Can't you just make them without that muslin fabric. Thank you for showing us how to do this?
You can but it really helps to have the size of the square you are making and it helps to create the design so you can see where the next shape will fit. It also helps gives you more stability for your quilt.

Hahah. Yup. It was just one of those projects that waited for my grand daughter to arrive. 😘
You are left handed so I have to concentrate extra hard to make sense. I do love your method though but my brain doesn't seem to work. (I'm suffering from brain aneurisms ....actually recovering from surgery .
Well I hope your health improves and you can enjoy making some crazy quilt squares.
@@CraftyPattiArtsCrafts Thank you. I am really enjoying your method and hope to start very soon.
Fantastic. Glad you like the method!
