I recently made a large crumb quilt for use as a beach blanket...was so much fun...I did curate the colors though...used scraps from about 5 different 'lines' of Moda fabric...but I had enough of this to make a huge quilt anyways...some of small crumbs, and some I left as larger pieces throughout...was one of my fav. ways to make a quilt...
A really great way if you have a lot is put them in colours like all the green and all blue and so on sewing them together and kind of make FQ or yardage out of them to make Other stuff out of it.
My sister gifted me her scrap bags. So I will start scrapping together for table runners& Christmas stockings to donate for children this year. Thank you for sharing.
That is beautiful i love making them i have sooooo much scraps down stairs so i might pick at a few now when i comes home today your quilt going to be pretty from Newfoundland Canada
I just found your video 💕💕and subscribed! I don’t sew very much but I have been watching these crumb quilt videos and love them!! Since I have very few scraps or really none… I bought. Add lot of fat quarters…. Somehow scraps looks more fun and appealing. But cut the quarters in all sizes to get the scrap affect. Lots of the quarters are very thin.. which I don’t like. But still have enjoyed the experience of sewing again… thank you💜
You're such a neat crumb quilter! I always make a mess with bits and pieces everywhere! I like to chain a bunch of pieces and then put them together until I have enough length and width for a block. Awesome video!
I just started sewing and have lots of scraps too small for accessories and facemasks. I think this is the perfect solution! Thanks! Would you need a backing if you made clothing with the scrap crumb fabric?
I think we all have a bunch of scraps for that reason as well! I would probably do a lining of sorts if you use the crumb quilt pieces for clothing. I say that only because there are so many seams that it might be irritating to the skin, and it would be a shame to put in that much work and never wear it!
Nice tutorial. But don't be afraid to use seams that are not 90 degrees, you cut out a lot of fussing around if you use those left over triangles as they are and trim the block to size at the end.
I have pizza boxes in 3 different sizes filled with my crumb boxes. I'm fixed to add them in quilts for the family for Xmas. I'm wondering if they will recognize their old clothes I hacked up and incorporated into the blocks :)
The more daunting task is the 4 boxes of T-shirts my daughters collected over the years from Camps, Band, Elementary-College interests, Volunteer projects etc.. My oldest is 29 and is still waiting on her T shirt quilt. I don't think she realizes she has about 5 quilts worth. I just found out she's pregnant yesterday and am thinking about using some of her old clothes on baby blankets and baby cloths.
I hate to say it but it’ll make me feel better......crumb quilting is NOT for everyone. I’ve just spent an hour trying to make something out of crumbs....and I’m too anal. It’s not for structured ppl. AAAUUGGHHH!
Everybody else's scraps always look more interesting than mine!

A “ridiculous amount” of scraps is 2 big totes full! Spot on explanation for crumb blocks. I love doing this. Zen sewing!
I had a lot more before we moved from Georgia to Texas, but I don’t think I had quite that much! You win! 🤣 thank you!

I just made my first ever crumb quilt piece today! I had never tried it before! I am totally addicted!!
Oh my goodness! I would love to see a picture of it!
Jordanne Cary I don’t know how to add a picture to the comments LOL. I haven’t added it to IG but when I do it’ll be on @CARDiologist_MD
Jordanne Cary PS I made a second one today!! Soooo in love
Tag me @jbritches when you do!
Pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
i have so many bags of scraps and you have inspired me now to make a crumb quilt for next Christmas as a gift.
My sister gifted me her scrap bags. So I will start scrapping together for table runners& Christmas stockings to donate for children this year. Thank you for sharing.
What a sweet and wonderful gift that would be for children! Such a precious gift they will treasure.

Chaining is a great idea!
Such a relaxing way to create 😃❤️😃

Too patient on small fabrics! Salute my dear!

Getting bigger hope we see it all done or the top.of it
How do you press your seams? Open press or press to one side

Ahh!! That is such a fun gift! What a great way to go down memory lane.

I put backing down, then batting, THEN sew every size, shape, colour through three layers. Then join together?
Sat Aug 25 nice sunny day
You cant say you have a lot of scraps unless you’re dragging sacks behind you..lol🇨🇦
Don’t fuss so much. Sew them all together, every shape. They don’t all have to be squares or rectangles. Try a triangle....anything....

AAAUUGGHHH!
