- Hello friends! Welcome to Sunbeam Fabric Art!
Do you feel inundated with your scraps? I most certainly feel that way, and I'm way behind in using up my scraps. New projects are on hold while I clean out the scrap drawer. With a tiny sewing space, these scraps must GO. Help me tame the scrap monster !
This video: • ♻️ v22.01a | Crazy Qui...
CRAZY QUILT BLOCK, CRAZY FAST! is the basis for how I am processing my scraps today. I'm using 8.5" x 11" newsprint paper as a foundation for scrap piecing. I don't have a plan, other than moving out as many scraps as possible, into completed blocks that can be pieced together into a blanket or other project.
I hope you enjoy this video, and let me know if you try my method to clear out the scraps!

I love the idea of enclosing pictures like the birds in your quilt blocks. Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing and God bless.
I'm so glad you liked my video! THANK YOU!! ☀️❤️✂️
You are my favorite!!!! I look forward to your ideas! I am a quilter for over 50 years and I have so much fabric and scraps!!!! I will never use it all! I am so bored with all the pretty quilts! Its so fun with not much brain power to create scrappy quilts!
Wow, thank you!
May 6, 2024. Love the bird fabric. Scrappy can be happy! Brenda from Conquering Mt. Scrap more recommended your you tube channel. I'm glad she did!
I love using up all my scraps! ☀️❤️. Thanks for visiting my channel and hope to see you back again!
Thank you for the tips. I am not too sure how many of us would have thought ahead on some of those things. Your blocks are fantastic!!
Glad it was helpful, Rhonda! ☀️
Love your tip of folding a feature strip! Thank you
Thanks for watching! Have a great day!
Hi Annette: thanks for the great scrap ideas. I'd be excited to see what you do with your finished blocks.
You're so welcome! ☀️
It's very disciplined of you to clear your drawer regularly! Well done. The blocks are bright and happy. ⚘️
Thank you! We downsized in 2017, and I have a space about 40 square feet! So I really have no choice! I guess that is why I have so many scrap videos, because I have to clear them out so often.
Your type of scrapping is my type of scrapping because I quilt it with all sorts of colors . I have loads of scraps but I doubt I would ever have enough fabrics for coordinating colors. I make scrappy quilts for project Linus, and I know the children are thrilled with whatever quilt I or anyone else make and have no clue they’re a scrappy quilt. I suspect it’s fun for them to see all the different fabrics in the quilt. Thank you for some new ideas.
I'm really glad to hear that! ☀️
It's like an eye spy quilt
Also dab the paper with a little water and it comes off much easier xx
Definitely!
You dont have scrap problem you have a not enough storage problem lol
@@58sewgood Thanks for watching! And yes ---- So true! We downsized SIGNIFICANTLY in 2017. At some time in the future I'll do a tour of my 'tiny room'.
If you dampen the paper, wait a few seconds, it should help the stitches release the paper easier.
Great tip!☀️
Очень нравится ваш сайт. Я тоже люблю использовать маленькие лоскутки и старую одежду для пэчворка. Желаю вам творческих успехов! Светлана, Москва.
Спасибо за просмотр! Я также разрезал старую одежду, чтобы использовать ее!
Fantastic video
Thanks for the visit
I just found your youtubes a few days ago and have watched all but a few. I love your style of scrapping and have learned several new techniques. Have you been creating youtubes for long and I have just missed them, or are you fairly new to them? I don't want to have missed out on past ones. Keep up the great and entertaining teaching.
I am a new TH-camr! I appreciate you watching. I love sewing, and teaching too!
I also cut out diamond shapes and strip pieced onto those and then made eight point stars. There are many many things you can do with this technique
Indeed, yes! Thanks!
New subbie! Thanks for the tips to jazz up a scrappy block. A whole drawer...wow! I use a little wicker basket that is now overflowing, lol. This project would be great for my downtime during the holidays.
A little basket! That's the dream! I'll be posting a couple more videos soon as I empty out the drawer. Thanks so much for you nice comment :-)
@@sunbeamfabricart 💗 I look forward to it! We need TH-cam to update for the sharing of pics...that way I could show you my basket 😂🤷🏽♀️
Instead of newsprint I use The same type of paper that they offer you when you get to pick your own donut or bagel out of the display cabinet at the grocery store. I believe it’s called sandwich wrap paper but it is not wax paper. You can get it in two or three sizes and you can get 250 or 500 sheets in a box and I believe it’s still under $10. It’s easier to rip out but it does hold up to some “reverse stitching”. I’m still working out of two boxes that I have owned for at least 10 years! That’s a lot of paper. I would also use this if I was doing paper piecing and I would trace the xeroxed design onto several layers of this paper by just stitching on the lines. I Would use basting length stitching With no thread to do this. Then I did have to pencil the numbers in for the different areas to be stitched but it was a lot faster!
Nice! Yup, so many ways to do strip quilting, right? :-) Thanks for your comments! Have a wonderful day.
Hello. I just started watching your videos a few minutes ago. Trouble sleeping. I started scrap sewing and now I’m hooked on watching videos. 😆. Can you tell me why you use the paper? I have been sewing for years and I have never seen or known about that except for when I was working with vinyl. And you are the first person I have seen to have the same machine as me. 😃. Great video. 🤗
That's great to hear! ☀️ I've had my machine for a few years and it's great. ☀️The 2nd quilt I ever made was a foundation paper pieced "FPP" quilt. I learned to appreciate having a foundation. And I've since graduated to creating my own FPP designs. I like using a foundation for scraps because I have a defined area to know when to stop adding fabric. BUT the same things can be done without a foundation at all! Your choice! A foundation can be paper, thin muslin, and is also a similar concept as "Quilt as you Go". If you plan to use fancy decorative stitching don't use a paper foundation, rather, use fabric or interfacing foundation☀️. Have a wonderful day and SEW much fun!
@@sunbeamfabricart thank you! You too!🤗
I like it. Have you ever arranged to make diamond shapes, or zig zag? The design component of strip quilts is really fun.
Thanks Linda! ☀️☀️ I appreciate you watching my video! And YES! Here's one that I started with a quarter circle drawn on a foundation, but ended up Diamond-shaped th-cam.com/video/xeRAUMI0-kA/w-d-xo.html, here's scrap strips ending as diamond th-cam.com/video/xCS-vGLT_3s/w-d-xo.html , and last my pretty turquoise chevron (zig zag)! th-cam.com/video/G_Zle_KnqtE/w-d-xo.html
That block around the Oriiole reminded me of a pineapple block
It does! Thanks for watching!
You can trim your seams as you go to reduce bulk (and weight) by folding your paper at the seam and cutting away the extra fabric from the sea allowance. Did you know that you can make an "After Quilt" out of your leftover scraps to be used in the back of your quilt? I have seen a few of the "After Quilts" on the back that I liked better than the quilt tops. I am working through a huge scrap collection right now. Not all of these scraps were made by me. Some of them were given to me; and, I have bought bags of scraps from consignment shops and Flea Markets (which has given me many more prints, colors, and shapes to work with). Your blocks are beautiful. My mother always said, "Scrap quilts are usually the prettiest."
Thanks so much for your comment! Yes, sometimes I do trim the seams to reduce bulk! Especially on my foundation paper piecing FPP projects. Although I have seen VERY beautiful after quilts, I will probably never make one 😂. That’s just me. Thanks so much for watching!
Will you do a video of the finished quilt top? I'd love to see that.
A few of these block went into shopping totes which have since been gifted! Thanks so much! ☀️
@@sunbeamfabricart oh, I hadn't thought of that idea. I make a LOT of shopping totes, so that would work great.
🥰
☀️ Thanks!
Looking through your scraps and im oh I've got that fabric and that one and that one and....... 😁😁😁 love your ideas have you looked at conquering mount scrapmore with brenda she does everything scrappy and does a fabulous potato chip block xx I've just subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing your videos xx
Yay! Thank you for the kind comments. It's funny you have some of the same fabrics. HA!
Wet the paper at the seam easier to remove paper
Thanks for the tips! Appreciate you! Have a nice day.
Are all the fabric scraps quilting cotton, or do you use other types of fabric?
Great question! I believe everything in this video is cotton. Once in awhile I use other fabrics, but only if they can be machine laundered. Thanks for watching!
This absolutely looks like so much fun!
It’s on my wannado list.
Where do you buy newsprint at; I’ve heard others use it too??!!??! ❤️😀
Thanks for watching! Here's the link to the newsprint I used. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6WHOME/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Awesome, thanxabunch❤️😀
You bet!! ☀️
This is only my 4th video so I notice your wool mat is on your sewing table. Do you not use steam? Do you worry about warping your table. I am getting my very first sewing room and getting it set up. I wanted an area close to print but don’t want to ruin my table when I get it
Oh cool! Thanks for watching! I do NOT use steam in my iron or on my wool mat. My Arrow Sewing cabinet seems to handle the heat okay. I used to sew on an office table and it has some warps in it. I still keep that around for pinning my quilts! Sometimes I also get out my good old ironing board though, and make myself get up and move!
@Sunbeam Fabric Art thanks for responding. I have been going back and forth on the steam, starch and the open close seams. Everyone is so different but when I have lots of seams I am finding open makes for flatter durface.
You could sell me some😢.
Scraps are WAY too fun!!! 💕. Thanks for watching!
