Great video...never thought of magazine paper...and I have a ton of old mags. I will die under an avalanche of scraps if I don't get going and this fits the bill. My son says I am the oldest hippie he knows. Also a retired art teacher, so this is greatly satisfying in all areas. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome
Tell your son I am the oldest hippie at 77
@@brendasweeney2806 Hahaha...gotcha beat at 78....
Im a 58 year young hippie with a 20 yr old granddaughter . She swears she was at Woodstock. 😂😂 She would love a quilt like this.
I personally hate removing the paper, so I prefer using fabric instead of paper ( muslin is good) or scrapping directly on a thin piece of batting. Just my preference. I love watching this process and always pick up a tip or two. Thanks!
You are so welcome. You can sew right on a stabilizer fabric, but I find that if you are joining panels together, the seams get way too bulky. If you are just making one panel, yes, sew directly onto a stabilizer fabric.
My thoughts exactly. Maybe an old sheet or old shirt
I use used dryer sheets. They smell nice too.
I use old washed-out sheets or odd scraps of interfacing
I have a friend who gave me a great tip by using dryer sheets as the backing and stabilizer. I made a beautiful library bag using it and the bag smells great!
That's a great idea!
My grandmother did this for what she called "crazy quilts." She used muslin fabric instead of paper or using a stabilizer. I have a box of completed squares, so I will be looking to see what I can make with them (as I already have a quilt from her).😊
love crazy quilts!
Really enjoyed watching and learning new ideas.
Love this. I dont use backing or paper. I just sew one big piece. Then cut it down as i need. Then use backing later.
That's great
That's how I would it I think it's a waste of fabric. Now that I know I'm not alone I think I will start sewing my scraps together
If you'll start with the center piece having 5 sides, (cut one corner off to make 5 sides), it will give you a different angle of your scrappy blocks.
I use the paper phonebooks that still come to my house. It's super thin. I've also done this without a paper or with an old sheet or ugly fabric. Sometimes the reverse side of fabrics will add to your fabric scrap choices.
You can also use black and make stained glass look.
I just found your channel, woohoo. Being able to subscribe is an honor and a blessing. Having comments for others tips is priceless.

You are so welcome and thanks for sharing
Thank you Jan ! I always wanted to make a crazy quilt and couldn’t wrap my head around it . Doing the smaller blocks would definitely make it easier. Thank you again. 😊
You are so welcome
Ohmygouda !!!...I spent the afternoon playing with your instructions...what fun...some of the smaller pieces I cut away will make a great middle, and it didn't bother me to toss some of the cuttings. Heavy sigh of relief...this is gonna make a heckofa piece of fabric....
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes.
Thank you! I’ve decided to make a quilt or table topper from shirt scraps from deceased family members 😢😊
what a great idea
I've used dryer sheets and mad a beautiful quilt for my grandson.
That’s such a great idea, I’d have never thought of that!!
thanks for sharing
Suggest you make your stitch length a bit shorter, it makes tearing paper off much easier. Thanks Jan. This will be a great way to teach my 9 year old granddaughter how to use machine using my scraps. 🎉
Thanks for sharing. I'm going to do that.
I want to thank you for sharing this. I've sewed for over 46 yrs n never seen this. I'm having so much fun with this . I'm making a quilt n doing some blocks like this. Thanks for sharing❤
You are so welcome!
Love this! I love sewing, but sometimes I don't have the brain capacity for a big project or I'm in a project rut. These scrappys are addicting and fun!!! I have a giant (12x24") bag of scraps, so I can make lots of scrappy squares for a future project. 😍
Awesome! Have fun!
I’ve been doing this for the past week. Mindless sewing and I love it! I’ve made a notebook cover and have two more on in the process of being made. I’d love to try the zippered pouch next and thought about pot holders and oversized casserole hot pads. I’m getting a great start on birthday gifts for friends. I’d love some more ides for things to make.
Stay tuned, I'll be posting a video this week.
I have done this type of thing numerous times and no need for paper or any base for that matter. Just sew the pieces together and lay a ruler on and trim to desired size.
Love the way you use paper but I use squares of material the same way. Usually an old sheet cut up to the size needed
I have used a thin batting as well..love the way these quilts look when the squares are all joined together
Way to go 😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. Happy quilting
Thank you!
So glad I watched this video!! Thank you!!! My dad passed away 4 years ago and I made memory pillows from 9 of his button down shirts. I kept every piece of scraps from his shirts. I am going to make a cell phone bag for his 95 year old sister so she always has her phone and still has a bit of memory of her brother. Thanks again!!!!!!❤
What a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! I've been quilting for a year, diligently saving all my scraps but had no idea how to piece them together without going mad... I've been wanting to make "remembrance" panels using the scraps from quilts I made as gifts, then can make a super scrappy quilt for myself with them.
You are so welcome!
I love your idea! I saw a lady using used dryer sheets to do this….think I will try.
Go for it!
I have a crazy quilt on my wall full of scrap fabrics. This is nice!
that's wonderful.
I love your cookie jar for holding scraps. They are goodies!
Yes, I watch out for them at thrift and tag sales
Oh my, I was expecting this to become a big quilt and my mind was racing about how to balance the colors and prints. Now my mind is bursting with small projects to make, and even using this idea as a decorative element on linens, clothing, etc. Great, thank you!
You are so welcome. Stay tuned I'll be posting some ways you can use the panels shortly.
So pretty. I'm a very inept "sewer" Ha Ha. Let me rephrase that, I'm not very good at sewing but I love to watch and learn. Thank you, I've just subscribed. Angela, Adelaide South Australia
Wonderful. I hope you'll find other enjoyable projects here.
It's amazing how a few pieces of scraps can make something so nice, I made some ovengloves and was quite impressed with myself 😂 ❤
What a great idea!
Wow, just so beautiful,easy to follow aperfect project. Thank you fir sharing with us. Gave me a lot of confidence to make a tote bag.❤
Wonderful.
Great tutorial, thanks Jan 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Really pretty. I love “scrappy”. I especially love the different angles in the block. Thank you for the tips
You are so welcome
Thank you so much Jan, I really really enjoyed watching you create those fabric scrap squares that we can use for lots of different projects. I think they’re really cute and adorable too and I can see how addictive they will be once I start working with them. Your tutorials are very helpful and so useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks. You are so kind. Be safe and well Mags!
Greeting from Germany, thank you for the tutorial, I try it cuz I have too many scraps flying around :D
That's the beauty of sewing and the love of fabric, right?
yay Hippys!
😉
If we/you know someone who still has a few old Yellow Pages/White Pages phone books, those would be great, too: very thin paper!
Beautiful! THanks for sharing. I have lots of scraps and will be using them in this way.
Wonderful!
You had me at 'hippie' and 'artist.' I am looking forward to all your videos.
LOL Glad you found me.
Good idea using stabilizer when making scrappy fabric. Thanks, Jan
You are so welcome!
WOW I Love Scrappy Fabric Video. Can't wait to do one for my Sock Monkey Pants!

I did find your presentation very helpful. I tried to do this without your instruction and it turned into a mess very quickly. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I can’t wait to try this
Awesome!
Thanks!
Nice and understandable demonstration. Thakyou
You are welcome!

Thank you I looked at another video to see what you did about the paper very interesting
You are so welcome!
Very cool. Can’t wait to make some.
Thank you!
Neat! I'll definitely have to try this.
let me know how it goes
I think I would sew directly onto the stabiliser fabric, but I do like this way of building a square.
Yes, when you need bigger panels for larger projects like zipper pouches, etc., sewing directly to stabilizer is great.
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.💖
You are so welcome
Thank you soooo much, such a wonderful idea!!!
Thank you!
Great video.
Thanks
Jan, I always enjoy your videos!!!
Keep on keeping on and Thank You
🥰❤️😀

Also could you sew the scraps directly onto the stabilizer?
Yes.
Thank you

You are so welcome
I do this without using paper foundation but it’s a great idea!
Yes, many do.
Very clever use of scraps. It’s like paper piecing only without a pattern!🙂
Thank you!
I also like to use a smaller stitch link when using paper as it perforates the paper. But better yet I use inexpensive muslin, batting scraps or ugly fabric. Thanks for your video.
You are so welcome
I so enjoyed this tutorial, thank you. Very nice block. I love it.

Thank you! I am going to try this! I love the idea of using a magazine for the paper! Thank you! I love your teaching style! ❤️
Thank you so much!
This is fun. I have used newsprint paper, it tears away easily, its very inexpensive. I don't buy many magazines lately, too expensive.
This gave me ideas. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊
