Wow! Never heard of crumb quilting! Please tell me what kind of wonderful sewing machine do you have? I will follow you from now on. Thanks!
I just love this type of piecing. Scrappy, improv, foundation, crazy or crumb. I love the process. Perhaps those that are struggling are thinking too much about the finished product and not just letting go and enjoying the actual piecing. It's so freeing to not worry about matching or pattern. I don't think I would ever had been a quilter if I learned only by matching everything or by sewing to a pattern. I joined a group on Facebook led by a professional quilter who was teaching method and color ways and going by the color wheel. OMG I was bored. Yuck! Not for me. I am so happy I found Darlene. She has inspired and encourage me to go with my passion of being a total scrappy improv sewer.
I was reading a quilt blog and in one of the posts the woman said no to move forward until you get the 1/4 seam allowance perfected. I was like... wtf? No wonder so many people never try this! Too funny!
Yep, I have seen this too. So many people striving for perfection. Nope not me. Actually what set me free from this was a video I watched awhile back about a fancy rich woman in Wales who has an amazing collection of vintage quilts. She sells them too. But her comment is the quilts people are handmaking today will not be collected in the future because people are striving for perfection and they end up looking manufactured. Why would people collect that. Its the mistakes and imperfections that tell the story of the sewer. Thats what makes them collectable.
I love that! And it's so true. Quilts are about love, not perfection. It's about the process, not the final product. It's about how they will be used, not how they will be viewed. We've got what it takes for that.
I just love watching you teach. What I have gleaned is: Give it a whirl. That's how to learn something new and you won't know until you try. It'll turn out in the end so don't give up. I really enjoy your laugh and it's super cute at 2.0! I'm so glad you are down to earth and real!
Lol, I'm having a bum day and you are so uplifting, especially at 2.0! I hope you are not offended but you make me smile! 💜
I love watching your videos ! Your demonstrations are AMAZING! I tried making strip sets last night and it went well. I enjoyed it so much. :)
Thanks for the recap. It helps to here you explain it again. I love the 'no thought' about this method of making quilt blocks.
Love all your tips. Love doing this after supper for some creative mindless sewing.
I like that you don't distract me with music
I so love this & never bored watching you sew. My grandmother made the most beloved scrap quilts. She used fabric we all donated to her, used clothing, pieces of blankets, scraps from clothing she made us grandkids,etc. Nothing was wasted & we all waited patiently for our turn to receive a quilt. All quilts were loved & used. What wonderful memories. I'm definitely gonna join in. Plan to make a doll quilt first, using flannel as my batting.
Thanks for being you, love your personality. I do love "sing song" when I'm talking about my creative items too. 😂😂😂🌷🌷🌷
Yay!! I finished my first lap size crumb quilt!! Thanks Darlene.
I love it, but people said it has no pattern 😠
I was like, oh whatever!
Oh Darlene, your happy, bouncy, straight on attitude makes me feel so good. I do a lot of crumb quilting and am going to do some you tube videos soon in my own techniques. Your videos confirm that even in crumb piecing there can be different approaches. Thank you so much for all your efforts - it has encouraged me to get back to my piecing. I've been longarming for so long and haven't had much time for my own joys. You're a joy and inspiration.
I started my crumb quilt after watching all that you have put out. I lost track of time and was almost late for work. 😃😃. I love doing this thank you for the awesome tutorials..
I love watching your videos. I have so many scraps so I have been following your crumb quilt videos and have been making squares.
I have been binge watching your videos after watching those *perfect* videos, I have learned so freaking much about being a beginner sewer. I have realized that 1. I'm not perfect (well I knew that part) and that 2. Nothing I sew is going to be perfect. :-) everything I have sewed since watching your videos is WAY BETTER than the other *perfect* items I have tried to make before. You rock..dont ever change!! Thanks for the hard work you put into your videos.
Love it all. Really like the diagonal cutting. X can't wait to see finished quilt, going to be awesome x
Oh ,Lord, I laughed so hard. I am a matchy matchy....but I think I can do this helter skelter method.. I watch some other people doing crum videos..,Yours is the best there is.... can't wait till I get back home to Ohio and my stash...I believe I will be doing scrape and crum quilting and not think about anything while doing them Thanks for being you.. I enjoy your videos
Trayne1837 yes, i use the time to listen to music and my hands just keep piecing or tossing, when i find a way to crummy piece. And chain piecing and pressing. I love it!
Another great video. Yesterday I started my crumb and I sewed strip after
strip. Looks like a long train. Sewed for 2 hrs now to press them and start
Sewing again. This sure is fun. I received my fat 16ths yesterday and my
panda panel which I just love. I'm going to take the fat 16 and sew two
together like you showed us and cut apart. That will really give me a great
color combination. I could watch you all day I love when you laugh🌺
Love this style. Unfortunately, I have too many projects started right now. Must hurry and finish others first. You have a great sense of humor. Thanks for being you.
Your videos are marvelous. I am taking my first quilting class at our local store and there are so many rules. Your techniques appeal to me enormously. I dove into my fabric scrap totes to try your way. Much thanks.
I love your videos and your style of teaching is great. I have already made 7 blocks in 4 days....I think I am addicted.....and I have a ton of scraps, so several in my family will be getting crumb quilts for Christmas gifts....thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you. Im a beginner,and this tutorial. was great! I too was struggling with pairing, chaining,and how-to cut! YEAH!
I'm in complete love with this whole series thank you so much !!!!
Darlene, your giggle makes me giggle every time. Please keep doing what you're doing. I'm now a crumb quilt addict.
Thanks Darlene for your crumb series. I LOVE it endlessly. It’s going to kill my OCD hubby when I finally get to start mine...cant wait to drive him insane by not matching anything!!!! Oh, And you tickle me with your humor, you always make me smile! Thanks. Sue H
I save "crumbs" as small as 3/4" to sew into blocks. My friends said I am crazy, but I love doing crumb quilts. I am working on a king size now.
Great video. Getting my chemo drip and you had me laughing. Nurses love laughter. Thanks.
You were like a magician at one point with an endless scarf. Hahaha! I've got to find/make some scraps. I'm totally obsessed.
Too funny but yes! Pulling all that out of a hat! I should have had one of Skylar's stuffed bunnies at the end of that. lol
I totally love this series! Keep going and don't forget to have fun!
I put a lot of my crumbs into colorways and then cut them into 3 inch strips of any legnth. Then i roll those onto toilet paper rolls to be used as strips in my quilting. That is how I make my flag quilts.
Your method is so much quicker. I'm definitely going to give it a try. Love this series. Thanks so much.
Well, just like you don't have to make one block at a time, you don't have to press it all at once. But once you get one "streamer" full pressed and cut apart the little 2-piece bits, you will get more excited and want to press the rest. Well, maybe. Hah! I do enjoy that "clothesline" method of piecing crumbs and larger scraps.
you are extremely clear every video. best crumb series I have seen.
Im 28 and ive always been attracted to people older than me in terms of women friendships. I think it has to do with being raised with the help of my grandmother. I enjoy your energy greatly.
OMG I just now watching your videos..am loving it..excited to watch more..thank you thank you 😁
I've just spent two hours doing exactly the same thing. I won't be putting them together tonight as I'm shattered. However, it's a start, and it's my first ever crumb quilt, so wish me luck, ha ha. I may try another method tomorrow, thanks Darlene!!
I think I get it now. I’m going to try this with some crumbs from a jelly roll quilt I made. Thanks for this Darlene!
One of the things I have found helpful on our adventure is when I have 2 larger pieces or pieces I think needs broken up, I lay one on top of the other and I sew 1 seam, then I swing it around and sew another seam. Then I cut between the 2 seams and I have 2 new sewn pieces. I hope that makes sense lol.
That sounds like what I did in episode 6. Do you mean like this? th-cam.com/video/lqoBpshAPLo/w-d-xo.html&index=6&list=PLOyBpgg5noRX6dfJqMYU5pZi5qlGgBqYA
oops! yes lol. had a brain fart! Its has been one of those weeks and its only Tuesday LOL.
Just found you, love your personality and you make me want to quilt and I've done a lot of things but never have quilted
I'm supposed to be decorating my kitchen but I can't ....... I'm addicted to crumb piecing and watching your videos. My sons think I'm nuts. (They're right, lol)
I've been working on mine the last two days since I'm stuck in the house due to the stupid weather in Texas. It's fun to do and a nice distraction.
thank you for this, you are sooo right on the overthinking things. Me for sure! thanks again
Hey Darlene. I made a quilt inspired by your fat quarter disappearing 9 patch tutorial. I'm really pleased with it. Gave me the chance to use a feather design fabric that I had purchased purely because I loved it. haha I want to show you a picture of it but don't know how to upload it to here... arghhhh . Any suggestions please. Thanks Brenda London UK xxx
Good ideas and tips. I'm one of those that does one block at a time, but I do put my crumbs in a pile so I don't think too much about its order. Like watching you so I'm not getting much done...lol
You do whatever works best for you! We all have our own ways. I just think if someone is just starting out and they feel frustrated, it's usually because they don't have enough to work with and they are trying to make magic with a few pieces of fabric.
"Whoa, what's that guy? He's showin off." LMAO oh, Darlene, that made my day!!!
i like her. she is brilliant, creative, hardworking, funny and smilling in produce her quilting
Good God girl what are them!!!!! hahahahah just watching....only half way through hahahah
I have no problem understanding your instructions.
Thanks, I needed to laugh! I am so glad I found you here. Unthinking.....Love it....! TYVM.....Don't mind me I am ok just very sad. two deaths in the family I just found out when they died. Sister and brother cousins. So sad to be out of touch so long.
Thank you again 👍🏻
Very nice I start one you are cool love your work
I did watch your video quilt as you go blocks with sashing. Could you use these crumb blocks the same way? Thanks so much You are my therapy.
I learnt sth new from your video. Thank you.
I need to ask something, because I'm very frustrated with my quilt. I've been working on it a while. I am at the stage now, where I have joined 14 6 inch squares together, with a common fabric strip in between. Now, it is time to join those strips together. I am getting uneven seams now, where the strips in between the squares are not lining up. I can provide a picture if needed, but I am ashamed of it. lol. It's my first quilt. I wanted to do a crumb quilt so that I wouldn't be out a lot of money if I fail. However, now I realize I will be out a lot of time if I fail. lol
+ TheRealMrsMVP; There is No Fail only Try! I learned to quilt a few years ago. I started with an Insane match every seam, 1/4 in seam cut to perfection, or it will not look correct, like the pattern tells you. RULES APPLIED! No, the quilt was Far from perfect. Guess what, I finished it and I use it. I learned from the experience. I had to keep going because I refused to let the Rules beat me. I thought of learning to quilt for 5 years. I had to do it. I have been sewing for almost 50 years and I wasn't about to let that project defeat me. Many of the professional quilters say, Finished is better than Perfect. Yes, all quilts are a thing of Love, not Beauty. Hear Hear for all of us who Try!
Thanks for doing these videos❣️❣️❣️
How do you fit your blocks together when you have made enough blocks are they not too thick
You rock girl lol having fun
