Pinwheel Quilt Block Variation (A No Measure Crumb Quilt Block!)
This is a fun no-measure pinwheel quilt block variation using scrap fabric crumbs. Is it a crumb block that looks like a pinwheel? Or a pinwheel block made with crumbs? You decide!

Easy Square Pot Holder (with Hanging Loop)
These look like floating pinwheels. Thanks for sharing your thought process on making your pinwheels.
What about a churn dash or a shoo fly block
Are you lining up the next fabric with the previous one sewn or over lapping?
They are right sides together when sewn using a quarter inch seam. Just like standard piecing but following the lines on the printed pattern to sew on. Does that make sense? Or am I answering the wrong thing?
I wanted to reach into the video every time you left the rotary cutter open. 🤣 Love the block.I’ll Definitely put this on the list when I have some days where I want no stress sewing. 🌺
I have a gallon size bag of various triangle cut off from previous projects.
Yes I cause viewers a lot of rotary cutter anxiety - apologies!
We must be on the same wave length. I've been thinking of building crumb blocks with my scraps. I love your pinwheel idea
I love how you explain to create crumb blocks ❤
Thanks so much! Glad it makes sense for you.
This is really fun. The link to the workshop just takes you to a poll, is there a sign up link yet?
That’s strange - the poll shouldn’t be there anymore - thanks for letting me know I’ll check it out.
Hi Michele! I think maybe it was a cache issue with the link? Where it shows you an old version of the webpage...not sure.. Anyways I put the direct link to the booking page in the video description and it's here lu.ma/r444b0su it still has all the info too. Hope that works better!
@@ScrapFabricLoveok guess I need to clear my cache- I’ll check it out! 🙂
I think it’s a bit tricky that way but as long as your having fun 😀I thought you were going to make a crumb block then cut it into pinwheels, looks good thanks
Oh, Kristen. Your brain fascinates me! My brain is very unlike yours and i love watching you create😊
Thanks Diane! I'm sure your brain is fascinating too!
Love the black one. I too have a box full of half square triangles - I now know what I’m going to do with them 😀
Thanks! Have fun with it!
I'm going thru my MANY bags of small scraps and have a bag of triangles that I've been wondering what I'm going to do with them. Now I know! Thanks! I'm also working on a scrappy purple pineapple quilt (with the AccuQuilt die). That should take a lot of scraps!
Awesome glad this could help with at least some of your scraps! Good luck with the rest! We’ll probably never get to the bottom of our piles 😂
I love your "logic". NO QUILT POLICE under the table or lurking behind the curtains. ))) Your quilts are absolute joy and make sweet dreams to sleep under. That's the determiner of pattern for me. Too spikey can be pretty but makes nightmares. Relaxed in the making makes a good huggy binky. )))
😂 Thanks!
I love it! I totally get your process. So fun! I usually use those weird triangle crumbs for wonky star blocks. Nice to do something else with them for awhile. I got an awesome deal on a used Viking, so I'm back to quilting again!
Congratulations on your new machine! Enjoy your sewing!
I JUST finished making Elizabeth Harman's Lepidoptera butterfly quilt. Lots of angles to cut resulting in lots of leftover triangles. I am planning on doing exactly what you're doing; kind of a wonky pinwheel quilt. I want my pinwheels to be more exact than yours, though, i.e. all points meet in the middle.
Fab! I’m sure your bonus quilt will be gorgeous!
Your brain and mine work the same but I have a friend who would be appalled with this type of quilting. I'm whatever and she's matchy matchy.
Different strokes for different folks! 😀
I have a bucket full of odd sized triangles that get assembled and used for various blocks. I love that wonky look with improv blocks - love your style
Thanks! Some times the odd bits make the most fun blocks.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
you are so welcome! I enjoy your tutorials!
I had fun using the scrap triangles into hour glass blocks that worked into stars for back of quilt of same fabrics
Fab! Love it!
Any other suggestions for traditional quilt blocks I should try to make with my crumbs?
Maybe a Churn Dash mini block? Love the pinwheel block! So much fun to watch you make it. I love improv sewing! It’s so much more fun than traditional blocks. Thanks Kristin!❤
@Loridye3605 thanks!
@@Loridye3605 that sounds like a fun idea
Thanks for this video, I also sew for Project Linus Canada here in Ontario. I’m doing small 30 inch square blankets with flannel tops and fleece backs for a NICU right now, just as a blanket, sewing right sides together and turning. I haven’t tried anything with binding and fleece. You didn’t mention in your video if the quilts with binding (not self binding) were machine bound or did you do them traditionally and hand sew to the back? Thanks again !
By machine! I’m not a hand binder I’m afraid!
Hi, Thank you, I am so appreciative that you made this video about 770 Bernina. I think your experience is definitely worth sharing and others have also felt your pain. I do have experience sewing on Berninas for over 50 years... from the 830 Record to the 440 QE to the 790, but I have also owned and sewn on other machines. I also worked for several years in the tech industry as a software project manager, software product advisor, and software user trainer Here are my thoughts for whatever they are worth: 1. YOU ARE BUYING A COMPUTER THAT SEWS, AND NOT A SEWING MACHINE THAT IS COMPUTERIZED, ALTHOUGH THEY SELL IT LIKE THAT SO AS NOT TO SCARE EVERYONE. 2. Know what kind of sewist or seamstress you are...what are you going to sew and how are you going to use the machine, before any purchase. You would not buy a convertible and use it like a pickup truck. I do not do embroidery, nor do I have any desire to make fancy stitches on anything and if I do I will embroider by hand. Furthermore, I can and have sewn my own clothing in the past, but today I only mend, and tailor our clothes. Sometimes, I make a garment, but rarely, and I make simple projects for the home. All of the software and mechanisms that go along with the Embroidery Module, just make the machine more complicated, more confusing to learn and present more reasons for the machine to malfunction). So if you are only going to piece and machine quilt, why buy a more complicated more expensive model with features you don't need? 3. Even if you are familiar with computers and software, you should probably get some user training in order to understand how to make your new computerized machine work for you. If you are in doubt, go to the dealer and ask for someone to allow you to sew on a computerized machine before buying it or take a class using one of the machines they have for rent or use at the sewing dealership. I advise you to take your own project to work on. Most shops will be happy to let you test drive if they know you are seriously looking for a new machine. 4. Understand that software when it is developed, even though it is tested thoroughly, beforehand is often released to the consumer with "bugs", sometimes even when the developer knows about them. This is normal practice for software in all modern products and in all industries, so just like anything else, sometimes it's best to wait and NOT buy the newest model with all the new features until they "get all the bugs worked out" and release the fixes and updates to the software. This the manufacturer will never tell you directly, and probably most dealers only vaguely understand this fact of life in the computer age. Just hope that your service person does! Getting all the parts to communicate and work together is not always a straight forward path and designers often have to make compromises in their computer "architecture" until somebody figures out a program or design feature that will make sure it all fits together and runs smoothly. I don't want to get too complicated or use a bunch of jargon, but want to let you know that some software/machine combinations and designs are more "user friendly"(meaning easy and intuitive for you to use and make it do what you want it to do) than other brands of machine and software. The software developers don't always know which tools and components ( both software and mechanical) are going to work well together in the future, even if they work together well now. Thus, as with your computer, software and the machines themselves can become outdated and all of us have computers, phones, printers, etc that are no more than novelties so obsolete as to be displayed in a museum. That is also why manufacturers will discontinue certain models, which is the responsible thing to do if they can predict that the machine does not have the ability to run the new software that they are going to develop. Computers becoming obsolete is nobody's fault and is true for every computerized machine in every industry because we live on the cutting edge of the computer age and companies are racing to keep up with consumer demand. Add that to the challenge manufacturers have with always trying to make a machine that serves your needs/wants, and is also affordable for you to purchase and for them to manufacture. 6. Having said all of that, things are beginning to slow down a bit with demands and just like my 7 yr old phone,I think that all the sewing machine manufacturers nowadays have designed computerized machines that are for the most part "bug-free" and perform pretty well. So now they will be concentrating mostly on smoothing out any cumbersome, less "user friendly" components to make them easier to use if need be, so don't be afraid to buy A COMPUTER THAT SEWS, because whether or not it is a Bernina, in my case, and also for many of my friends and fellow sewists, once you master the learning curve, you will be sewing quilts and other projects faster and better than before, (depending on your type of projects). 7. In closing some parting thoughts, if there is an advantage to buying Bernina, it would be that they have a long-standing reputation to protect, when other reliable European manufacturers like Elna, Husquavarna, Viking, even Pfaff have been purchased by other companies; some are made in China. Bernina is the only family-owned Manufacturer, though many of their machines are made in Bernina-owned and run factories in Thailand. Bernina seems to have been able to adapt their sewing machines to serve the consumer well over the years and is the reason for their unprecedented consumer loyalty. Bernina machines are the only machines that still use an all-steel front-loading bobbin system, like industrial machines and many 50 yr old machines are still running efficiently as parts can still be found. 8. Bernina's are expensive, they are in the same price range as a new computer with printer for all the reasons I just mentioned above. If you are going to mostly piece quilt tops and make table runners etc., you could opt to just send them to your long-arm quilter. For example, depending on her costs, I figure I can have my long-armer machine quilt 10 queen-sized bed quilts per year for the next 5 years, which costs me between $5,000 and 5,750 (minus shipping). That's 50 quilts quilted by someone else for about the same money as the 770 at today's prices. (Truly, I only seem to be completing about 5 queen quilts per year or the equivalent in other projects thereof.) That's one way of thinking about the cost of a machine that has a BSR and Dual feed and other features (minus all the add-ons, lessons, thread, batting, etc that I would need to quilt my own quilts). Weighing the costs and the time spent quilting my own quilts against spending the majority of my time on what I love to do, mainly designing and piecing quilts, helped me to decide what to buy, because most of what I want to sew can be done on a reliable non-computerized machine. Then I weighed that against the costs of a long-arm machine and knowing that the only way I can make sense of buying one is to make it a business....but that's a whole nother discussion. Hope any of that helps you decide about purchases. Figure out how you will use your machine, think it through, go test drive all of the machines that might work for you, in your price range, which also include exemplary user support nearby, then decide. Happy Sewing and Good Luck to you all!
If you put the time and love into a quilt for someone they should not worry about a seam being a scouch thicker. I think you did great. I now have a new method so I don't have to use sashings which look like a window
Thanks!
What if you add the top and bottom piece and then lay in the batting? When you quilt, it will hold it in place and maybe won't have bulk at the seam.
Yes you can totally do that. So many ways to adapt this!
Wow love this idea ! I am definitely going to try this out ! Thanks for sharing this !
Glad you liked it!
This would make it possible to get back sewing again. I thought I had to give it up because I hadn’t stage 4 breast cancer and ended up with neuropathy very severe in my hands . It will take me a while to save for it. But it will change my life.
So sorry you’ve had to go through that! Glad this might get you sewing again though! Shame they are so expensive but maybe you could tell the family you would like contributions toward it for your Christmas or birthday?
OH MY GOSH!!! This is brilliant!!! I've only made two QAYG and I did those in columns... but I honestly loveee this method!! Thank you sooo much!!! Hugs from Ontario, Canada
Glad you liked it! I was amazed I hadn’t heard of it when I saw it the first time too!
@@ScrapFabricLove I know eh!! I watched sooo many videos too!! so awesome!
Hi, thanks for the video on 9 ways to back your quilt. You gave me a few new ideas. I bought a panel of a moose and want to use it for the back along with some piecing forest trees, water & sky. I am basically making an intricate quilt top for my backing and now I am thinking this could be a beautiful and time consuming top quilt. So now I am searching for examples and designs for a quilt back and found your video. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you again
Hi! Sometimes the pieced backs definitely end up looking like quilt tops! Are you looking for ideas for backing the panel quilt top?
@@ScrapFabricLove thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I am looking for ideas for a backing design by using my moose panel. This is my 2nd quilt. I wanted a simple but pretty quilt back so I could display both sides of my quilt on our bed. I just feel like I am putting so much effort into the backing and that it should be a quilt top on its own. I’m sure you can relate. I want a nice backing; I don’t want a scrappy back. Although scrappy can be beautiful also. I hope you understand me! I am so new to quilting and designing. Thanks again
@cyndidaves5313 maybe a flannel sheet would be a nice cozy backing for a moose themed quilt? That was the first thing that came to mind. You might be able to find a nice one secondhand somewhere?
Hello, I wondered what type and brand of machine you use🙂😊
Not sure what I used in that video - possibly a Bernina but now I have a Pfaff Quilt Expression 720 and a Janome 1600p
Hello Kristen. I am Svitlana, Ukrainian, living in Australia for 13 years. Thank you for introducing yourself. I love crafts-different kinds of embroidery, knitting, sewing.. Have made some scrap quilts for my family. I am 63,retired, enjoy crafting very much. I am new to your blog, hope to find interesting ideas.. Thank you. ❤
Welcome! Thanks for introducing yourself! You’ll find loads of scrappy tutorials on the channel as that is what I focus on the most on UA-cam. Let me know if you need help finding anything specific!
This is really helpful for those of us who are newer quilters!!! I love your videos!
Thanks so much! So glad it was helpful!
Thank you for demo. I am the same as you for liking the batting butting up to each other. The one with all the backing fabric seems like a waste of fabric but, looks nice in the end result.
Hope you found a method you liked! I did another couple videos after this with another method that I like even more. The videos are just called ‘my new favourite quilt as you go method’
❤ enjoyed your video Thank you for sharing your trip and adventure I also enjoyed the quilt show through your eyes
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video....thanks for posting....very creative, talented, entertaining show of quilts to see. Incredible diversity of talent and works.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video! I currently have a Janome 4300 and I’m currently searching for a new or gently used machine with at least 10” of throat space, accufeef and/or dual feed, hover, and a machine that can handle thick projects (bags, quilts, but also handle garment sewing). The Janome 9410, 9450, 9480 and M6 are on my radar. (Cost comparisons and availablity of Elna’s twin versions 780+ and 792)of these machines are also in my search my search I ‘test drove’ a Bernina 770 qe and fell in love with how smooth, straight, and quietly the 770 worked. Yet, the interface is confusing and it has so much more than I need! There was a used more affordable Bernina 740 but the interface is the same. It’s time to try the Juki TL 18, which is only 8.5” from the needle but the throat has greater height and has high visibility of the needle. If only sewing manufacturers could create a simplify machines with wide throats without pushing us into luxury versions. Technology becomes obsolete so quickly. (This makes me think back to my iPhone 6s, that I loved and then it no longer worked because it wouldn’t update the newest iOS anymore. )
Sounds like you are doing the research I should have when I was looking 😀. But yes I feel like less complex machines with larger throat space would be appreciated by many!
The FOQ was a fantastic experience. It was my first time and I went for two days but if I went again I would go for the full 4 days.
Yes there was a lot to see!
Thank you for a great video those quilts were amazing and also nice to know that anyone could exhibit a quilt. I didn't know this was a yearly thing so hope to go next year😊
Glad you enjoyed it and yes it’s fab that it’s open to all!
Thanks for taking us on your international journey! What a treat to know that you could submit a quilt whether you are an experienced quilter or just a beginner whose quilt may not have fit in a specific category! Blessings to you!
Yes I think it is very encouraging for new quilters.
Thank you for your presentation. I felt that I found it just when I needed to hear your message. My granddaughter saw a baby quilt I made from my stash that was longarm quilted with a honey bee pattern. She said it would be perfect for her co-worker who just learned she was pregnant and raised honey bees. I told her I really wanted to keep this quilt for my future great-grand babies but could make one with bee fabric for her friend. The very day i was going to quilt shop to buy quilt supplies for ONE baby quilt she called to tell me that her friend was having TWINS. Bottom line - $282.00 and many hours later i gave her two 51x51” quilts backed with Minky plus two burp towels. I have gifted many quilts to family and extended family but this is to someone i will never meet BUT i felt i was doing it for my cherished granddaughter. Your words have helped me reassure myself that the enjoyment of creating these special gifts for my granddaughter to gift to her friend and my granddaughter’s appreciation is all the reward i need.
Glad you found this when you needed it. And what I heard from that story was that your granddaughter is really proud and impressed with what you can make - so much so she wants her friend to see and enjoy it too. Well done you for your generous gift and I hope you can see the compliment in your granddaughter asking this of you.
I’m a beginner just looking for new ideas and ways to QAYG❤❤❤

Hi
Thank you!
Chris English did a couple of videos with Kate Jackson on her channel The Last Homely House. Great channel. Chris showed Kate how he chooses fabrics and constructs his quilts.
Just found you and subscribed quickly, love your improv style. I think the faux hand stitch sounds good.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel! 💕
