Super Simple Crazy Quilting Tutorial (this works on so many projects!) 

LOVE crazy quilting!!! I go thru phases where I just sew small pieces together randomly. I dont worry about shape or size. When i run out of straight edges, i just whack thru it w my rotary cutter to create a straight edge and keep going! When its a good size, I cut a 6.5in square out of it, and use the cut offs to start the next block!! When I have enough 6.5in squares, I add sashing and have a bright and fun quilt!!

A crazy quilted bookmark sounds cute

Oh my.... you got me when you said "if you were alive in the nineties...." 😂 I love the crazy quilt style. My grandma used to entertain me in the fifties by getting out her pillowcase full of fabric scraps and she would help me make crazy quilts for my dollies. In the seventies, I made them for curtains in my daughter's bedroom. I'm so glad that tradition is being carried on. It warms my heart.😊

I’m so glad I found your channel. I enjoy crazy quilting. But I’ve called it crumb quilting. 😂

Oh yeah....wading through thirty years of scraps and determined to do crazy blocks. Great tutorial.

Very cute! It's nice to get ideas not only for using scraps but also ideas for small quick projects. Thanks!

Oh Nikki! This is new to me-- I love it! So many scraps to put to good use! Hope to meet your Mom on here!! ❤️

I'm not much for seasonal decorating but your little pumpkins are very cute.

Mickey, these pumpkin coasters are adorable and the square one is just as adorable as the round one! It’s great that your Mom is living near you now! My mom lived right beside me until she passed away in 2005. Enjoy sewing together and I know you cherish every moment with her. Thanks for all you share with us on RU-vid! Have a great week and good luck with the tiling!❤😊

I’ve been binging your channel since I subscribed a few days ago. I love your energy, sense of humor, genuineness (is that a word?). You seem so intentional with every project you make. Found your handmade home tour very inspiring. I want to make all the crazy quilts now!

Yay, hope to see your mom in a future video. Happy for you Nikki. Would love a tutorial on the bird garland in your studio. Thanks for sharing.

Just ran into you, on sorting and sorting fabric. Liked your voice and presentation so got hooked. Watched all the thumbnails of you. Now going to go to your site and learn some more. Great tutorial. I am all about crazy anything. I just believe I have more scraps than anyone. All sizes. 1.5 inches is not to small, unless I am tired. I used to get up and go to bed and leave everything as is. This year made it a goal to straighten up. So, it is a nicer feeling to walk into a semi clean area and can still find what I need to continue.

Another way to scrap bust! Thanks for sharing.

This looks so appealing to me and a great way to use my ever growing scrap box! love your videos and how thoroughly you explain everything !

Found you last night around 2 am. You were making a quilt with houses, trees, cars, and a haIf circle or 1/4 circle edge. Loved your process and your easy way of explaining, and destressing the whole thing. I want to make quilts in the worst way, but getting all the pieces to match and sewing them so they fit drives me crazy. Also, I'm very challenged when It comes to colors and putting them together, I know what I like, but its the putting them together that is a little wonkey. maybe I'm not cut out to make quilts, but I dooo want to. I'm crazy busy right now, but give me a couple of months and I'm going to dive right in. Tks, I'm not sure that I have enjoyed a sewing, quilting segments on RU-vid, and I love RU-vid. Thank you so much.

I make crazy quilt blocks by machine. Then I use the many, many decorative stitches on my sewing machine to top stitch along the seams in any thread I think will show up. It's a good way to use up thread and bobbins.

Loving this! I have enough scraps to stuff a king sized mattress, so am looking forward to making these.

Fun, fun, fun! Thanks for sharing all the neat tutorials, you make it so easy. I've wanted to learn how to do this for years.Have a blessed week everyone.

Preschool coloring book sometimes make good pattern for this type of project.

I am going to try it and make some potholders. Thanks for the video.❤

thanks this was great, I will try a pumpkin for sure. I love to crumb quilt so this is very close. Thanks

Cute coasters. A Frixion Pen is completely erasable pen and comes in all different colors. I use it all the time when I do my embroidery designs.

Thanks for the tutorial. Nice to have a project to use up scrap!

Nice way to use my scraps, thank you

Thank you Nikki these are so cute . I made 22 of them for a German group October fest

Very cute! I'm thinking that a larger size would make great potholders. I'd just need to use all cotton batting & thread. Thanks for such a fun project that uses scraps.

Thanks will be using it as a mug rug.

Hi, Nikki! I'm new to your channel and just love this tutorial! I will definitely make these for my daughters who are both teachers! I know they will love them! Thanks for the inspiration and the free pattern! Blessings to you and your family!!!

I love this - just learning to quilt so this will be good for me- thanks

Thank you for this timely tutorial

I sew enjoy your channel & how you instruct. Thank you!!

It my favorite crazy quilting cute projects

Spotted your Janome right away. We have the same one. I call it my Porsche.

I make Scrappy Hearts like that, but I dont turn them and I zig zag around the outside, add a bow and a hanger and call it done. 💚💚💜💜

Love these. Hope you will do a Christmas pattern💕

Have you ever done a handsew tutorial? I love them. When had knee replacement right in middle of COVID, I had portable cutting and ironing board. And I hand sewed mask and donated them to recovery center for women. Learned from Twins day where all patterns were hand made and sewn. Would love to see you hand sew a crazy block.

Thank you for sharing!

You are so natural and encouraging. This is a really cute project for crazy quilting. A great way to use small scraps/ I have to try this now. Thank you!!!

Love your little pumpkin coasters ,have some fall colour pieces in my stash, so it will be perfect.TFS

Soooo cute!

Love this!!!

Great gift ideas for teachers! Thanks for sharing. Very peaceful process. Blessings, Dawn

SOOOO cute!

Such a cute project! I want to try it. And maybe a Christmas tree for later. 😊

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this video. This full well knowing that I just made a tutorial for a pocket that took forever and had to be refilmed and now has to be edited while I cringe that I did it wrong and forgot at least 10 things. 😂 But I wanted to make crazy quilted coasters for the car, and I did, but you are such a great teacher that I would've had way less trouble if you had taught me. So please know that I will continue to patiently wait for whatever tutorial you do fully aware of how much time and energy it takes. Also ugh, tile. I've done so many tile countertops and floors and backsplashes that I totally feel your pain. I really felt your pain when you were sanding drywall that you had to mud. Yikes. You go girl. We're going to redo our bathroom and we are definitely calling a tile guy. #worthit

thanks for doing this.. I've been a sewing slump, so giving me a simple project to break out of it!

So cute. I’m going to try crazy quilting for sure.

Love love love these. I made 6 already

Oh I really loved this crazy quilting! I would love to see you do a quick tutorial of how you did it when you sewed it by hand. Definitely going to make some yardage with this technique and use it to make some cute bags! Also I ran over to amazon and bought the little scissors lol thank you.

Always loved the Crazy quilt..This a a great starter project that I will try..

Only been quilting a short time and love this idea for my scraps!

You are the best! Super creative, great ideas and a very good teacher! Thank you!

Adorable! I love them. Thanks for sharing. Looks relaxing.

Love it! Great idea, kinda like foundation paper piecing.

Thanks for showing us how to do that and for the pumpkin pattern. Going to try it

This is a cute project! I can see doing Christmas stocking coasters or Easter eggs… thanks for sharing!

Very cute! Thanks for the tutorial! Just an FYI - Pilot Frixion Pens work great on fabric and disappear with heat. I couldn't get by without them for some of my projects.

Hands down the book spine lamp is my favorite! I can’t wait to try and make one myself. I adore the acorn mushrooms and could be used in so many projects. Once a teacher always a teacher. You taught me to glue & paint wet air dry clay immediately to its intended destination, thank YOU. I love your channel. Ps. I liked the blue and white napkin better

Great pumpkin tutorial! Hope to meet your Mom on your videos.

Just made 3, attached one to a card and it looks great!!

I truly enjoyed your video. Your creativity is contagious. I am going to make some of your pumpkin coasters🌸😊

Ive been looking for hand sewing quilt squares like.what you described. Very clever will keep learning. Thanks.

I absolutely love this tutorial. I have tons of scraps and am always looking for ways to use them.

Re: Ironing with steam on a wool mat over a cutting mat causing the mat to warp. VERY TRUE!!!! I learned this lesson the hard (expensive!) way. If I'm working in a limited space, I have a piece of thin wood that I put between my wool mat and cutting board to keep warping from happening. I've heard that you can use a heat gun to un-warp a cutting mat quickly, but haven't tried that. Also heard that you can put your mat out on a flat concrete surface in the hot sun for several hours and that will also unwarp the mat. TBD. Anyway, steam pressing over a cutting mat is not worth (literally) the gamble. Thanks so much for the pumpkin template!!! Can't wait to try making some.

These are adorable Nikki! I don’t decorate for holidays much anymore, but I may have to make an exception here, because these are too cute AND USE UP SCRAPS! I am also a papercrafter, so it might be fun to translate these into fall cards as well! I love the idea of putting a cute flower or critter at the center to highlight it, and then build your quilt block around it. Have you made a quilt in this way? If so, please share it on your channel! I really like your journal cover too. I have a stash of composition notebooks that I might need to figure out dimensions to make into personalized journal covers for gifts. Thanks for inspiring me today, as usual!

Great timing! Looking for an older Girl Scout project.
