Crazy quilt crazy quick!

[@BettyPequeno]

Haven’t read through all the comments so forgive me if this is redundant, but I recently took a Crazy Quilt class which used 9 fat quarters that was similar to this, but there were 9 pieces cut from each fat quarter. The trick to making sure each block you put together from the cut pieces are different from each other is to move pieces from each stack to the bottom of that same stack corresponding to the number of that stack. Meaning take one piece from the top of stack 1 and move it to the bottom of stack 1, take two pieces from the top of stack 2 and move them to the bottom of stack 2, take three pieces from the top of stack 3 and move them to the bottom of stack 3, take four pieces from the top of stack 4 and move them to the bottom of stack 4. It continued for the 9 stacks, but in this case the fifth stack would stay as is. Now all the pieces showing are different. Just grab the top piece from each stack and sew to make the new block. Each stack will have a different piece uncovered as each block is sewn. This is a great pattern and can’t wait to make one using just 5 pieces! Thanks for sharing!

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes, that works too. This is just easier. I hope you make it. It’s a fun block to make.

[@carolynchristler]

Shuffling your way makes the process easy peasy! Thanks!

[@denisegolding9100]

Seems jumbling around is much more difficult, adjusting each stack at the beginning takes so little time and ensures each piece in the block is different.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

It’s a preference thing. There are multiple ways to do it. No way is wrong. That’s what is so great about quilting. You do it the way you want to! 😁

[@WildaRoss-k4f]

Love p😂p😂

[@pilarcamaliche1599]

Same here 😂,can’t stop buying fabric, is an addiction 😂😂😂😊

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes it is!

[@janetdinatale9861]

Ditto!

[@CherylFoster-z7c]

Amen!

[@louettesommers8594]

It certainly is 🎉

[@lindaww2425]

Awesome lesson Miss Penny ! I am getting the fever to start making a quilt again ! I'll be checking out your online store for goodies as well. Thank you and Blessings !

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yay!!! Get the fever!!

[@MIZ932]

I was watching you making this and thought it was definitely crazy blocks and I didn't like it until I saw it finished. Thank you ❤

[@dottierobbins939]

Small sashing strip will make it looked like a stained glass? Love this idea!

[@brontebenoit6181]

I purchased the Crazy Square paper with no particular purpose in mind. I have several in mind now. Thank you. I’m going to watch it again … and again. 😉😉😉

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

It’s fun!!!!

[@NJGardengirl1961]

This is such a great idea for quilters like me that are cutting challenged! It'll make me look like I know what I'm doin' 🤪

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Hahahaha you can do it! It’s a fun one too.

[@marthapowers634]

absolutely love hearing the little ones having fun with each other in the background----brings back memories...... another quilt i'm going to have to add to my to do list, except i have the accuquilt cutter and die and will make it with those. this is a beautiful quilt.......thank you for your tutorial

[@gailg129]

I love it when you do a demo and this time it was a whole quilt! Very cute!!

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thank you so much!

[@LynnH-l9d]

I love that quilt top. Love the colors, so bright and cheerful. I really like the pattern too! Will order the papers soon. Great video!

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thank you!!

[@zormier2002]

Oh my goodness that fabric is awesome!

[@Susietacoma]

This is both charming and beautiful. I absolutely love those fabrics. I wish I was there to steam press each block and row (with starch) for you so the quilt top will be perfection. All that work, to not steam iron it, drives me crazy to watch. I always iron as I sew garments or quilts. I really love what you created there. Very nice. Congratulations on another very special creation.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thank you! I starch some as I go but this partial one doesn’t really need it. Of course, that’s a preference thing. It turned out perfect with or without starching it. 😁

[@vickirobles3406]

I also made one with skinny black strips between each section~~~I did one side sewing pieces together then I did the same on the other side! Yeah! My 2 quilt tops are beautiful!

[@katehenry2718]

Sounds gorgeous!!!!

[@PetraRobinson-gm8nh]

Great tutorial, I just ordered a squaring up ruler like yours, here in the UK. I do struggle with squaring up fabric, so this is great.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thank you!

[@ms.m2054]

Lovely colors, makes me feel happy and cheerful.

[@rosemarymonty5399]

Lovely quit top with great colours.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Thank you!

[@nanashouse202]

I’m watching you do this and seeing lace and ricrac. It’s nice as it is.

[@terryblair966]

Great lesson. I love the fabric you are using.

[@debbieparrish4369]

This pattern would look good with 1" white sashings sewing between each fabric. Great idea using papers. Thank you for sharing. ❤🎉

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes, it would!

[@anitabrantley5202]

Love that. Will have to get some of those papers next time I am in the shop.

[@debbiekeeble]

This is easier than my scrap crazy templates. I will be buying the papers. Thank You!

[@vickirobles3406]

When I made this pattern, I first take the first stack and I leave it, next stack I put top on bottom, next set I take first 2 and put on bottom, etc., etc.~~~then I star sewing the piles. Works pretty fast! Just sharing!❤

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes. That’s another way of doing it. Works well!!

[@katehenry2718]

Seems to be a safe way to have total and immediate control of the pieces not ending up with sames beside each other. No worries. )))) Pure fun quilting. )))

[@booomanchu]

Cute quilt! I love the fabric.

[@ocean_hummer]

Pretty quilt! Thanks for sharing!

[@sandypattison8486]

You clearly explained the process, especially of squaring up the blocks. The colors are not my preference but I like the way it works.

[@jenihansen7201]

OHHH No seams to match up with this. I love it.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Me too!

[@carolynchristler]

This is a stack n slash method that was in a magazine about 25 years ago. We used fat quarters put them together with a quilt as you go method, using our machines fancy stitches for the quilting. Fun quilt and method of construction!

[@jolenemadaffari1631]

This is such a bright and colorful pack it is great for this, love it!

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

[@maryannfox1774]

Love this idea! I have 3 projects in progress on my table right now so I must have the addiction now! My quilt top from craft-a-cropolis is almost all together finally but I’m working on making it bigger.

[@katehenry2718]

Good tips for squaring up raw blocks ))) Make one corner square first, then trim to size. Easy. If your ruler matches the desired size, you can shuffle it around to cover the perfect view, and cut the leftovers. SO much easier than how I started "a hundred years ago". THANKS )))

[@CatherineM793]

I think we are in the same boat we love to buy fabric ❤ awesome video

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes! Thank you!

[@katehenry2718]

Fabric addiction is WHY we quilt. Its a perfect excuse to have bins and bins of cloth )))) and still keep adding. Garden needs all day for right now but Fall is coming and Winter too, so fab time for sewing bits of cloth together eh? O yeah.... Collect now, sew later. hahahaha

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

That's exactly what I've been doing the last few months, since early May, here in S.E. Idaho as I began to need to use my creativity as part of my healing after losing my husband last Sept. During the cooler hours of the day or when there's a nice large area of shade, I work in my yard. While cooling down and putting my feet up, I've been shopping for fabric, floss, etc. online and watching tutorials. I'm gathering supplies for slow stitching, which is sort of similar to crazy quilting in that there's no definite pattern. But it's quite different in that the pieces are usually hand sew together and it's primarily a hand stitching sampler project for learning new-to-me embroidery stitches.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I’m so sorry to hear short your husband. I’ll be praying for you. Keeping busy is a good idea. I’ve never done slow stitching but love hand embroidery.

[@megfreeth4377]

I bought this fabric it’s lovely and sews beautifully, it’s all gone now used in quilts.

This was such a terrific video. There was nothing that was boring, all I did was learn more and more. I know you said the line was older but I have about half of the fabrics and I love them. I have held onto for years waiting until I found the perfect pattern, technique, whichever🤪. Can you please tell me what the name of that line is? Thank you❤️

Thank you!!! I don’t remember the name of the line but I love the fabrics.

[@nancylowens9842]

You can use some of the decorative stitches on your sewing machine and topstitch on the seams for an added bonus.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes you can

[@caspinall6296]

You may enjoy doing some research on the original crazy quilts. They were made of beautiful velvets etc. and embellished with gorgeous embroidery. Definitely a labor of love done by the wealthy ladies I believe. I have a feeling Lori Holt had a version of these in mind.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Yes I’ve seen plenty. They are pretty too.

[@bettywood5812]

Wouldn't it be easier to leave one stack alone; next stack place the top fabric to the bottom of the stack; next stack take the top 2 and move to the bottom; next stack take the top 3 to the bottom; and so on? Put them together by using the top fabric from each stack.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

You can do it that way. There are lots of ways to do it. Different people like it different ways. They’re all good methods.

[@kathleenkumiega1092]

I did this more than 30 years ago with instructions from Eleanor Burns’ book CRAZY QUILTING

You can do whichever. I ironed to one side on this one.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I’ve had it for years and kept holding onto it until I found the perfect project with it.

[@maryannfeeney9763]

Can I make a suggestion. After cutting the pieces, take block 2 and place top piece to bottom of block 2 stack. Than take block 3 and take 2 top blocks and place underneath block 3. Continue with blocks 4 and place top 3 fabrics underneath & Block 5 place the top 4 underneath. You will have 5 different blocks with all different fabrics.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

Good idea. It’s sort of like I did it. There are lots of ways to do it. Thanks for the idea.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

My Mom would call that a "LAZY CRAZY QUILT." It will look like a real Crazy quilt. The more prints you use the better it will look. Are you going to do some fancy embroidery after you sew the pieces together? Don't forget to include at least one "Spiders Wed" (for good luck). Thank you. This is a wonderful idea. I love the fabrics you used.

[@sewcharmingquiltshop]

I’m not sure how I will quilt it yet.

[@GlendaNorris-qx3in]

You could even slice off an inch or so from top or/and bottom and attach to opposite ends OR square it and save cut off chunks and sew another oroject like we do for small scrappy bits.

Hi I've never made a quilt but am going to have go. One question why are the seams not pressed open, why are they pressed to one side? Also as an avid seam neatener when I sew normally why are the seams never zigzaged or overlocked in quilting?

It’s a preference thing. If you want to press them open you can. Some people do.
