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.

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.

@KW3908 5 месяцев назад

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!

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

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.

@maryjanesteinbrecher3953 3 месяца назад

My thoughts exactly. Maybe an old sheet or old shirt

@shirleythomas6377 2 месяца назад

I use used dryer sheets. They smell nice too.

@Lily_The_Pink972 Месяц назад

I use old washed-out sheets or odd scraps of interfacing

@kirstinjohnston8901 5 месяцев назад

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).😊

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

love crazy quilts!

Thank you! I’ve decided to make a quilt or table topper from shirt scraps from deceased family members 😢😊

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

what a great idea

@angelistorres116 3 месяца назад

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!

@JanHowell 3 месяца назад

That's a great idea!

@chickad5820 5 месяцев назад

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. Thanks... Babs near Tombstone, AZ

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. 🎉

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to do that.

@janetpingrey7155 5 месяцев назад

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....

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

Wonderful! Let me know how it goes.

@rosalindhb 5 месяцев назад

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.

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

That's great

@mdinsmore547 2 месяца назад

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

@Mom_dad_diy 10 дней назад

Thanks. You are so kind!

@jenniferorr6617 5 месяцев назад

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. 😍

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

Awesome! Have fun!

@suepeterson5675 5 месяцев назад

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. 😊

@jennygill1594 4 месяца назад

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

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!

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

You are so welcome. Stay tuned I'll be posting some ways you can use the panels shortly.

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!

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.

@JanHowell 5 месяцев назад

Stay tuned, I'll be posting a video this week.

@virginiareitz7949 5 месяцев назад

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.

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.
