Even MORE Scraps! ♻️ v22.02 | Use Up Scraps | Strip Quilting | Fast Quilt Projects | Quilt in a Day

- Hello friends! Are you feeling inundated with scraps? Travel along with me as I empty out my scrap drawer even more! This cute project uses 8.5" x 11" newsprint paper. We attach strips diagonally across the paper, working from the inside to the outside to cover the rectangle. After trimming, the blocks are ready to attach to create a quilt top or any other fabric project you're considering. This quilt top can potentially be completed in one day.
Options for this project:
SQUARES - if you use a square base, either paper or fabric, turning the blocks various directions can make some neat patterns; OLD SHEET - use a colorful old sheet cut into 10 inch squares for a base, and sew directly to the fabric! The time is about the same because cutting out a lot of squares is about the same as tearing off paper. RECTANGLES - if you want to have the center strip going different directions, you need to plan for that and attach center strips in opposite directions. In this video mine go the same way.
HINT - tear the paper off before sewing blocks together!
MOST OF ALL - have fun and try something new!

Love this!! I thought I was getting a handle on my scraps. Until today. Yep, found a yard sale that had a bag with 4 jelly roll bundles, and for $2.00, who could pass that up?? Not me, apparently. Now I have even MORE scraps, but this idea would work great for those new strips.
$2 ?!? Amazing! Have fun! Thanks so much! ☀️
I use an old sheet, cut up, as a base, rather than paper. It cuts out the ripping out step and gives one more layer of fabric in the quilt.
I have done that as well. My next video features fabric as the base instead of newsprint. Thank you so much for watching and. have a wonderful day.
You could stop at 2 layers and "quilt as you go style" join with sashing, for a summer weigh quilt?
I do the same. Gives it weight.
I've started watching your *Ideas for scraps* playlist - I look forward to seeing what ideas you came up with 🤩 ...this was a good one 😁
Yay! Thank you!☀️♻️
I like the fact that you used rectangles rather than squares for the blocks and I agree: having them going in the same direction is "energizing" to the quilt--lots of movement!
Oh thanks so much! ☀️♻️
I am working on making bookbags for one of our missionary families, and wheelchair bags for a local nursing home.
I discovered your channel on TH-cam on my television.
All I can say is:
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Amen! May your tribe increase!
Currently, you are keeping me company while I work on book bags, etc.
AT LAST! Someone who REALLY knows how to utilize scraps! I have been greatly encouraged by Bonnie Hunter, but, Annette! You REALLY know where I am living right now ... the second I try to try "organizing" my scraps (that I enjoy VERY much), I lose the battle.
I like your projects for their practicality but probably the most important reason is: I FEEL your pain!
Thank you for all the encouragement you have given me over the last couple of days.
Thank you for the hope that I can actually accomplish most of what I have dreamed of for more than fifty years.
You truly are a sunbeam in a world that seems more dreary each day.
Thank you for all you have gone through bring more brightness into this old lady's heart. (I don't feel that old, but have been considered "elderly" for the last decade or so ... LOL).
From a grannie to an "elderly" person, thank you so much for your kindness! ☀️. I am glad that I am giving a little sunshine on the stash! ☀️. I do love taking scraps and making something new for sure! And I plan to keep it up! ☀️. Have a wonderful day! ☀️
@@sunbeamfabricart I am going to be home alone for the next five days and, except for Sunday morning church services, I absolutely intend to work while playing your videos ... As I work along (usually going in and out of the pantry where the vast majority of my scraps resides), I gain so much more creative energy from them.
I have worked through one medium sized container full of drapery fabric .... when I got to the bottom of it, I found the top portions of Levis that I saved a number of months ago (the legs went toward a camping quilt for hunt camp) ... I just could not throw the top portions away ... I had fully intended to turn them into a large bag, but hesitated.
I am learning a lot about how to accomplish that through your videos.
You have been such a blessing to me - - you will never know!
Congratulations on being a grandma! Your tribe is increasing! Very good!
I always have said: When you have a good product, keep producing.
(Some of my background comes from working/sewing in a clothing factory -- where I learned how to use a sewing machine)
@@maryseaman312 I hope that you are going to have a productive 5 days and accomplish what you wish! But don't sweat it! Have fun!
Ugh. Just finished a string quilt and did the exact same thing with the paper. Live and learn! Great videos, keep them coming. 😊
Awesome! Thank you! ☀️👍
I like how the red plaid strip is the constant throughout all the blocks!
Ditto! Thanks for watching!
Amy Dement just did a similar video where she makes four if these blocks into diamond shapes.
Something new I have been doing to my blocks made similar to this is leave a quarter inch to half inch beyond the foundation ..... Makes it much easier to sew the blocks together or to sashing.... You do have to be consistent in your seam allowance for assembly.
Yes, that's a great technique! ☀️
Annette I'm one of your "super fans". I love the ways you create quilts using scraps. I'm also happy to see that many your quilts are made for "The Lioness Project". You are very generous with your quilts. Keep on keepin on girlfriend
Thank you so much! ☀️ linusproject.org - they do a LOT of good in the world. I donate some to another charity too that makes beds for underprivileged kids. Project Linus requires new materials, so my thrift store finds or upcycled items can't be used there, but the other charity is happy to get them for sure.
I have scraps but I also have crumbs. I sew crumbs to a sturdy fabric base (felt, canvas etc)
Crumbs can be fun too! Here's a video I did with crumbs. th-cam.com/video/qWnPa4vLgfQ/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful. I love making scrappy quilts. My next project is to try sewing scraps on squares of cut up sheets.
That's awesome. I just posted a new video on 11/26/22 that is doing exactly that! :-) Have a great day, and thanks for watching.
I love the way you teach us. It's real and yet personalized. Thank you
Thank you so much!
I love scrappy quilts!! I can probably make at least 4 quilts out of my scraps! I've already made 6 or 7 from my scraps and stash! I won't let myself buy new until the scraps are gone!! Keep on scrapping!!
Thanks for watching! My very first quilt was a scrappy crazy quilt! 💕
Cat "approval" is always an important step in finishing a quilt top!
It really is! ☀️🐈☀️
Thank you. I have wondered if the full 8 1/2 X 11 inch sheets of cheap copy paper could be used to foundation piece an interesting quilt top. You have done the work for me. I now know that it will work beautifully. I always work on two blocks at a time as I foundation string piece. This is mindless sewing which calms my mind. I waste less thread that way; plus, I have less trouble with my machine. Your quilt top is colorful, interesting, and beautiful. Again, thank you so much.
I am glad you found this video helpful! I love scrappy! If you measured properly, I’m wondering if you could make diamond shapes out of these rectangle blocks that would be very interesting. I might try that on my next video. Thanks for watching!
what a great idea this is - than you for sharing - am watching your series
Thanks for watching!
I love how this all goes in the same direction. Nice! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I really like it too. ☀️
@@sunbeamfabricart you're welcome 😊
Well I made my first block ever it’s awesome. Thank you I never thought I would start a quilt.
OH MY GOSH! This.is GREAT! I'm thrilled that you jumped in and made your first block! Congrats!
I hate removing paper so I use RICKY TIMS STABLE STUFF and leave it in the blocks.... STABLE STUFF turns into a soft batting when you wash the quilt or just over time it softens. I also like to cut my string blocks a half inch larger past the "paper" / Stable Stuff. This allows for easier assembly keeping everything out of the seam allowance regardless if it is traditional paper or some other backing.
Oh cool! Thanks for watching and I enjoyed your comments! Have a great day!
I like the scrapy quilts very much, they always look nice and they're easy to make 😊
I totally agree! ☀️
I just came across your channel! I have felt so guilty about all my scraps. You have great ideas and sure make it seem do able. Thank you for your efforts on your videos! Great job!
Oh i am happy to help ! No need to feel guilty, just have fun! :-)
I use my scraps to make quilts for the homeless. Instead of sewing them on paper I use old fabric that I don't think is suitable for quilt tops. Maybe faded, really ugly, or to light weight, or what ever. I sew the scrappy strips on blocks of that fabric. It makes an extra layer of warmth for the homeless and I don't have to peel paper off the backs of my blocks.
That’s awesome 👏 ☀️
I've made a lap quilt for my hubby. Also made squares with black stripes between prints. Nice look too.
That sounds lovely! Thanks for watching! ☀️
You can also use old phone book pages for your foundation stripping. Zero cost and recycling too😄
Great idea!
Gorgeous quilt! And thanks for the tip of using the newsprint paper and discovering it's best to remove the paper before sewing blocks together. That's how we all learn isn't it? Thanks for posting! I loved the idea of using the label on the front!!! Cheers from Minnesota.
Thanks so much for you nice comments! Learning is fun isn't it? Keeps us young AND humble :-) have a great day!
Fun to see rectangle strip pieced blocks- a fun alternative!
I liked the way it turned out, too! My cat certainly did :-)
Binge watching all your videos I love to recycle shirts and wool coats into quilts
Recycled / Upcycled is such a great feeling! Thanks for watching!
Another good item to use as your base is pellon interfacing..... I have tons ( bolts) left overs from garment sewing
Thanks for watching! Great idea for sure!
Would love to see a scrappy tutorial using qayg. My domestic is old and cranky and does not quilt a large quilt but allows me to do small projects!
Great suggestion!
Just use batting instead of paper, but use the same method. Once sewn together, back and tie at all the corners.
Cool quilt, Annette! Thank you for the video. ⚘️
You're so welcome!
Old telephone books work great for a base.
Hi Melanie! Yes I have heard that! If I ever see any at garage sales I may pick them up. Thanks!
So beautiful! Thanks for the lesson and great video!
My pleasure!
Very nice and "nap worthy", I have to agree!
Thank you! ☀️
Really enjoyed your video Annette, I now have a plan for all my scraps! Best wishes from Perth Western Australia💜🇦🇺💜
Oh Awesome! Thanks for your kind comment and so glad to help! I've got one more scrap video coming (for now...haha) in the next few days. Best to you!
Hi Libby! My cousin lives near there - Subiaco. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada.
I made Christmas stockings using the strip method. They look good
Oh I bet they are beautiful! Have a wonderful day!
I really like your quilt top. Having used that plaid red plaid fabric really ties it together. I have found that when I make a scrap quilt if I have one color that’s a little more dominant than the others it calms down the quilt which that red plaid does in your quilt. Great job.
Indeed! I was making a tote yesterday with some busy fabric and used a plain medium gray strip to break up the busy. That really does help with design for sure! Thanks for watching.
I’ve never made a quilt. I have a lot of strips I might have to try this. Ty so much. Glad I found you on you tube
Thanks for watching! I hope you try it.
Love this quilt. ❤
Thank you! ☀️
I love scrappy! I've been trimming that paper into squares, never thought of keeping it in rectangles. Your Quilt top is pretty and your kitty has great taste! Quilters learn things the hard way sometimes, but we keep at it. Yes, I'm binge watching your videos after discovering you today and have subscribed. Thanks very much.
You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for video. I’ve done scraps on square batting but really like the elongated look created by 8 1/2 x 11. Will try this on larger batting.
I'm glad you want to try it. The more I look at those rectangles, the more I absolutely love them!
I love your video production. I’m new to you channel. I’ll be watching more.
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
Fico imaginando quanto tempo levou para cada etapa desse projeto lindo. Parabéns prla maravilhosa arte de costurar coisas lindas.
Thanks! ☀️
Great and efficient management
Thanks for tuning in!
Just found you thx for your inspiration .From Ontario Canada
That's Great! I've got more scrappy videos coming! ☀️
This was a fun journey! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this. Very nice uilt.
Glad you like it!
So pretty💖😊
Thank you! Have a nice day!
Glad I found your channel. Love the scrappy quilt look. Yours turned out beautiful😊
Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day!
New subscriber here from Australia. I love all things scrappy and am enjoying catching up on your videos :)
Thanks for subbing! Have a wonderful day!
Maybe long nosed tweezers would help in the seams
Thank you
👏👏👏 awesome❤️😀
Thank you 🤗
I keep the paper on the blocks until I get the whole quilt made. This is because the blocks are on the bias and stretch during the sewing process, which is a bigger pain on the neck than removing paper.
Indeed, that can be an issue for sure! Thanks for watching! Have a great day.
I love to do strip piecing. I’ve got blocks for a strippy star done, but it needs to be assembled. I just found your channel and subscribed. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. 😀❤️🇨🇦✂️
Hello! Welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the video! Have a wonderful day.
Beautiful😘
Many thanks!
This is great!
Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel I'm really enjoying your work 😀
Oh thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
These are all beautiful, I have watched a couple of your videos using scraps. I am wondering if you have ever done sort of a free hand applique piecing with raw edges? Something that isnt straight pieces of fabric. Looking for some ideas, thx!
Thanks so much for watching! Scraps can be so fun! I don't normally do any raw edge projects, but I've seen some cute ones out there! Have a great day.
Thank you for sharing 😊👍🏻🪡🧵
My pleasure 😊
Could you please show what kind of border you would put on that quilt. That look awesome
I will definitely post something when I finish off that quilt. I am leaning towards a forest type color, like a autumn green, brown, or yellow. I think it would look nice with that rich red check. Thanks for watching!
Annette, love your channel! But, would you raise the volume a bit. I have my iPad as loud as it goes. Thanks
Sorry about that! You’ll find my newer videos have much better sound! I’m glad you enjoyed ☀️☀️☀️
You could take the seams out and snowball the angles? How would a jelly roll race go with many shorter bits instead?
You could do that. I'm a fan of trying things out! ☀️. Thanks!
I keep my printer paper after I’ve made a printing mistake and use it to keep notes on or reprint on the other side. Now I can use my recycle printer stash along with my scrap stash to make a quilt! If I use the clean side up, I shouldn’t have an issue with ink on my fabric
Great idea! Thanks for watching!
OK, I have a pressing question. Starting at 10:13 it looks like your iron is only maybe 20% on the table. How is it not falling off? Nice quilt. I like using a unifying strip in the middle of my strip quilts, especially it they are scrappy. Enjoy your videos. Thanks for making the time to share.
Wonky Iron! I had to go back and look. Must be a trick of the angle, because it is fully on the table with about an inch to spare. Thanks for your comment :- ) and glad you are enjoying the videos! have a great day!
Hi Annette, just found your channel. Enjoyed the video. I’m a subscriber now. Love the scrappy quilt. I made a similar version on smaller newsprint which works great. Have to say I’m from KCMO as well. I LOVE your red t-shirt! GO CHIEFS!
Thanks for subbing! My entire shirt says "Mahomes to Kelce" which is the BEST PLAY IN THE NFL TODAY!
Hi Annette, what kind of iron or board are you using that you can leave iron on?
Good day! ☀️. Iron lifts itself up when you let go. I no longer have this iron. It was too heavy for me. In the video: I'm using my wool pressing mat, on top of my Arrow cabinet, with an Oliso iron. Here are the links.

Not sure if anyone has asked this… can you remove most of the paper and the tiny amount of difficult paper just wash it and let it disintegrate in the washer? I’m not sure but it looks like newsprint and if so it’s very thin.
Great question! ☀️. Sometimes it is impossible to remove every bit, so there's no choice. I try to get most of it, and don't worry about it if I cannot. 💛💛💛. Yes, I am using newsprint for my FPP. ☀️🌸
Traditional binding is BIAS
Thanks for your comments! Quite right!
Did l hear you say you emptied a drawer…lol.Hi from someone who has lost count of drawers full of scraps..doubt will empty in my lifetime..🇨🇦
Ha. Yes I did empty a drawer. It's full again! Thanks for watching!
I’m from Australia…is newsprint the same as photocopy paper?😊
Hi there! Welcome! ☀️. I use newsprint simply based on cost. Here's the Amazon link to the paper I used. It's much cheaper than regular copy paper.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6WHOME/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use used up dryer sheets for my foundations then I don't have to remove the foundations.
I've heard of doing that! Very cool.
Is this called string quilting? I’m using the same pattern on 10.5” square light muslin. No paper tearing.
Yes indeed! Strips, strings, what have you!
Yep
I think it would be interesting to know just how much time lapsed in your cutting scraps fast forward session😄
I love scrappy quilts and think your idea of sorting by length is great‼️🙃
I think the total time I put into this quilt top was about 8 to 10 hours, but don't remember specifics. Thanks!
Turn up you recording volume
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely working on that. Have a great day.
Where can you get the newsprint paper?
Search online for newsprint paper for drawing doodling, lots of options, lots of sizes ☀️🧵
How in the world did you only have 1 drawer of scraps? 🤯 I have a 25 gallon bin full plus a little shoe box full of scraps, several plastic storage bags or plastic grocery bags full of scraps and leftover scraps in the bottom of project bins of each project. Admittedly the majority of them are in the crumb quilt size. With your leftover 2.5" binding strips, they could have been cut up into squares for other quilt blocks or pieced into one long strip for the Jelly Roll Race quilt. 🙃
Thanks for your comments! We downsized in 2017...a LOT... so I just don't have a lot of room. There are so many fun things to do with scraps, right? Thanks for watching and have a nice day!
Good Lord, me too! I’m buried in them. But I have plans!
I saw a lady use drier sheets for the back. Looked less difficult than the paper.🤷🏻♀️
You can use paper, muslin, dryer sheets or nothing at all! It's all good! Thanks for watching!
Hard to hear and I have great hearing. At times it is easy to hear. I don’t know what is up with this video.
Oh geez, sorry to hear that! I'm still working on some technical processes for sure. Thanks for tuning in and have a nice day.
The volume is quite low, I had to turn the volume up on my tablet as far as it would go to hear your voice.
Aww... can't hear you today😮
Thanks.
I don't understand why use the paper? I am not trying to be a know it all - honestly I am just trying to learn
Oh that's a great question! It's totally optional, of course. I like to use a foundation because then I know how long the pieces need to be, and when to stop adding more pieces. But I have done 'improv' strip piecing too, without a foundation. Thanks for watching.
@@sunbeamfabricart that makes sense! thank you
@@DH-qz2so ok thanks that does make sense! thanks
tFS
have trouble hearing you talk volume way to low for me and i had you on 43... but i do love watching about scraps
☀️ I'm sorry you had trouble with sound! Thanks for tuning in.
@@sunbeamfabricart my fault my speaker dial was turned to low sorry... so now i hit that subscribe button hope it helps
I couldn't hear it very well
Ah, so sorry! ☀️
cannot hear you
Thanks for watching, I'm definitely working on that.
You best get a better microphone. My audio is up to 100% and I cannot hear you enough to watch.
Thanks for the feedback! Definitely working on that.
I can barely hear you
I'm so sorry for the difficulty.☀️
I don’t like to watch your video in fast speed . It gives me a headache.
I would like to watch it in regular speed.
I would like to watch your video but no thank you for fast speed.
I can’t follow you
Thanks for your feedback! I will note that.
I usually stick strips of Scotchtape and peel it off.
Indeed yes! That works as well. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
