I let Chance Design my Scrap Quilt ?? (And I made a backing out of T-Shirt leftovers)

[@jenmckitrick]

Marianne Fons once said that machine quilting is like driving a car and hand quilting is like taking a walk. One gets you to your destination more quickly, but the other is something you do for the experience.

[@sandygardner6060]

Love this!

[@mariecasasnovas5945]

In quilting there is no right or wrong. You do whatever you feel and love. No explanation needed. Love it another Dave original 🪡🧵😊

[@jameswaterman2829]

I believe you need to make a mount scrapmore hatband for your red thinking cap🎉.

[@juliemillar4394]

I completely understand the joy you get when simply sewing bits of fabric together. It's enjoyable when we have a plan, but equally enjoyable when we don't.

[@lizaddison-duenas4351]

I absolutely love your videos. You have so inspired me. I am retired but a fairly new quilter and you are so YOU that it has given me the freedom to be me as well and do stuff I would have never tried before watching your videos!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Good Afternoon Dave, You positively Crack Me Up and I Thank You for that. ❤❤❤ I hope you have a Lovely Weekend, Love and Hugs, 👍🥳👍👏🤩 Chris

[@SessionMom]

Love your thought process and creativity. Well done.

[@stephenlemoncello6767]

Your are a man after my own heart. Love your videos and keep up the great quilting. You are so sweet.

[@imogenethomas1138]

Great quilt! You have the BEST fabric stash!

[@lindahunt5634]

“I’m just going to DEAL.” I love this!!!

[@destrygraves]

How fun! I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@bobbiwalkingstick1993]

*Grabs my big ol cup of sweet tea* and settles down for some giggles and an amazing quilt ❤️❤️❤️

[@PatLeo-kf9bc]

I love how your mind works. The banana in out of space was the bomb!

[@helenosullivan1191]

Another fantazmorgorical quilt… 😛💜🧚🏿‍♂️🦋😘

[@juliemiller9258]

I really love watching you put these quilts together with your unique brain. I try to make more free form quilts with extra applique areas for guys and more repetitive more pieced blocked quilts for gals until I know them better and have formed a special unique quilt in my mind for that person. I would prefer to hand quilt everything because of the softer feel as they age from use and I find more popped seams on machine quilted seems than I find on my hand quilted ones. I am stuck right now. I made the mistake of making a list of what quilts I want to make in the future. Now I feel like I have to decide between favorites. Maybe a scrap cleansing would be good for my stash as well. Love the simple way you present your sewing. Aren't you glad that you quilt! Aloha 🧵🧵🪡🪡

[@74artgrrl]

You can’t go wrong with the addition of black and white fabrics in a scrap quilt. This was wonderful, thank you for sharing your process. Awesome!

[@jenniferdionne674]

You have got to be the most entertaining quilter I’ve seen , your content is really fun to watch!

[@CopycatQuilter]

I’m always so impressed with your creativity! I think of projects like this as palette cleansers when you’ve been doing more detailed complicated stuff.Thanks for sharing and please don’t ever stop!

[@katemehlchadwick]

I don't know if anybody or everybody pointed this out to you, but the quilt goddesses were definitely smiling on you this time! (I'm pretty sure they always do. )

[@Amritadivya54]

Another great quilt!!! I hope you don't mind, but I suggested to "The Idiot Quilter" That he interview you as part of one of his Vlogs. He had asked for suggestions. I hope you agree to do it!!! I can't wait to see it!!! Thank you for your wonderbar channel🐦

[@patriciacrafton92]

I would love to see that interview!

[@Craftythrifter]

What is there to say? You knocked it out of the park once again. I’m inspired to tackle Mt. Scrapmore in this manner including the tshirt backing. I have LOTS of those bits myself! LOVE LOVE LOVE!❤😍👍🏼

[@lisadoes]

Dave, your videos always bring me joy. I love the way that this quilt turned out, as usual. ❤

[@bratmamma]

Love watching your creativity and sense of humor. You should make you instagram cat block videos into a booklet. I would buy it❤️❤️

[@UrsulaThomas-sf7fn]

Great way to reduce Mount Scrapmire 🤣 I’m planning to make some project Linus quilts from my scraps in the next few months but was beginning to over think it with themes, colours etc This way they’ll be so much more 🤩 Thanks Dave x

[@jackywhitehead8987]

You are amazing. So clever. So good to see a young man making quilts.

[@lindar7099]

Dave do Dave…..no explanation required

[@susyk6839]

I like to handquilt too. I am not good at machine quilting and hand quilting is relaxing anyway. I am behind on my 100 days 100 blocks but now I can’t wait to see yours! Thank you for sharing… I love scrap quilts❤

[@janetk8285]

The hand quilting looks wonderful. I want to try that on my next project. Love ❤️ everything about your channel. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@sandygardner6060]

Like your very technical term "wibbly-wobbly" 🤣🤣🤣

[@connieclark3562]

I’m a newbie quilter and I don’t have many scraps yet, loved watching you!

[@catherinesofikitis179]

Thank you. It’s fabulous

[@rebeccatrombley6579]

Another outstanding video! The scrap quilt is fabulous. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@EQHL2005]

I have loved seeing your 100 day blocks.

[@aktarango]

I like it! What a great idea to randomly pick out of the scrap pile. Thanks for answering some questions, I hope you do more of that 👍

[@rtKozeluna]

🎉Love watching you work. That’s a great scrap quilt! ❤

[@laightnightknits4358]

Every video makes me want to go and make a quilt!❤

[@yarnexpress]

You might want to try a Trash Quilt. Take 2 random scraps & sew together keep repeating until you're sick of it. Then sew the 2 patches together into 4 patches, keep continuing until you have a 64 patch piece of fabric. Then cut into blocks square or rectangles & assemble. Use whatever square ruler you have/want. I've been making this quilt for the last few weeks. I started by filling a large shopping bag from Mt Scrapmore--jammed that bag until it felt heavy enough to be a quilt top. Next time I'm going to try your "squares/rectangles" version.

[@wilycat5290]

Thanks for another original. And thanks for the video 😊

[@ziggyzook7304]

Another happy Tuesday. Thanks Dave.

[@FutureCatNZ]

I'm the same way with scraps - I keep everything 😅

[@naomi11801]

Hello from Bowie Maryland! Have a great show! 😀

[@Kdcaswell]

Love the tshirt backing. Got to try it. I would probably still put batting. Love your scrap wuilt. They have become my favorite to do.

[@davescraftroom]

Ya, I used batting too 😜👨🏻

[@carolannmca]

Love your idea to include patches! I’m going to copy!

[@jamesf1165]

I love the colorful randomness. It creates a lot of interest. Nice job Dave! Wish I could help.

[@dominiquedagenais3066]

I really love what you do!

[@revrou2911]

❤️another inspiring quilt!

[@Colorful_Nest]

Thank you for sharing your projects. So inspiring!

[@mariejohns1387]

I like that you hand quilted this. You always deliver Dave!!

[@sueniven117]

Beautiful as always.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for sharing

[@kalieris]

This is such a lovely quilt. I’ve got approximately half a bazillion pieces of tshirt material, and making it into scrappy backing is a great idea. Love your Instagram cat saga! You are so playful and creative, and the alien/cat hybrid being is very relatable.

[@Dianaprimartinez]

Gorgeous quilt ❤

[@bgirlsquirrel]

When you said you had an Instagram, i immediately had to go find you. Not disappointed, your 100 days 100 blocks are fantastic. Ill have to show my daughter. The scrappy quilt looks great 🐿️

[@Dianaprimartinez]

Dave, have you tried to stabilize your jersey with a regular piece of paper, any kind and sew on top of it.? They say it works and it’s easy to do.

[@sternenregen5489]

The banana in space is the best.😂

[@robinmarie5180]

Awesome job again

[@AldWitch]

Great work, Dave 🪡

[@nancymathisen9707]

❤

[@acmejava]

sewing: machines: cat makes his own quilt. LOL...this is fun! and your scrappy quilt is too.

[@Cole-Nicole]

❤❤❤

[@brynharford6838]

Hi Dave, I understand the feels for hand stitching sometimes. It has a more 'cottage industry" feel. Also, I mostly understand another quilt construction video (mason jars) All that being said, I feel like I don't know your personality at all, not yet

[@davidh.4220]

Love the orange rug!

[@algrant5293]

I like the eclectic 'scrappy' (living up to its name) look of the quilt. It has an image of "oh this old thing, yes its been in the family for years" look about it. 😊 I haven't looked thrpugh all your videos yet, do you prefer geometric or do you like to make quilts with a picture too?

[@shaneencalade4988]

Another great piece..... I have a hard time finding fabric that's funky and fun but then realized it's ME. I see fabrics and think "What in the hell would I do with that?" but now I know. Orange is my favorite color and I kept wondering what it was that drew me to your designs and I noticed it's Orange..... it's in almost all your work and funny thing is I don't have any Orange fabric🤔🙄🤪

[@JohnCBNS]

So fun!! 🎉❤

[@dingtonia]

Shut up! That’s totally awesome. Can you tell me how you built your stash? It’s just brilliant!

[@davescraftroom]

I have a tendency to buy more fabric than I need 😅 Lol it's just fabric that I've bought over the years :P

[@richardfinney5081]

Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi I'm a new subscriber , I have to say I'm loving your channel , what a different approach to quilting , takes all the granny aspect away 😂😂😂, well done ! , Did you manage to come over to the festival of quilts this year ? Have you had a quilt in the show ? I bought some Kaffe Fasset fabric a while back , but I have to say , I'm quite scared to use it , I'm very tempted to cut it all up randomly and sew it back together 😂😂, what do you think ? Don't think I can manage a nest one 😂, I should say I've never made a quilt before , been going to make one for twenty odd years , but never got round to it 😊, Take care , see you on the next one ❤️

[@davescraftroom]

I have never put a quilt in a show 😳😅 I don't get out much 😂 Kaffe fabric is good because it will look good in almost any pattern especially if you get a good background/ accent color 😜 or you might try a stack 'n wack too !

[@delwyngraham4033]

Nice, I think with the jersey back might have been better to hand quilt as might have stretched even more I found that when I did a tshirt quilt and it had interfacing on😂

[@harperreads]

Hi Dave! New subscriber here. You do you! Don’t worry about what others say about your craft! I love the scrappiness of the quilt. I might need to try a knit jersey backing. It sounds so comfy. (Although I probably will starch it to help out.)

[@Toad-In-A-Puddle]

Just curious...how did you navigate quilting the patches...especially the big fire bureau patch.

[@davescraftroom]

I went around it 😜👨🏻

[@bonnieh2123]

Let us know how it launders.

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Great job. I need to do that and bang one out. Question, how do u keep your lines straight when hand sewing on the floor, any info appreciated.

[@genny7493]

@dave’scraftroom did you turn this project inside out before quilting it or did you just layer it up? This is amazing and I am inspired to try a jersey back too because I’ve lots of leftover backs from shirts.

[@davescraftroom]

I turned it inside out 😜👨🏻

[@theresalynch9726]

Did you zig zag the jersey or just straight stitch . I've heard that cotton thread would break with jersey fabric

[@davescraftroom]

Straight stitch :P it didn't break for me 😅😜👨🏻

[@acmejava]

[@shakti7514]

You made a scrap quilt at the same time as making the blocks for the 100 block and bonkers works? What? How? You have a twin. An interweaving of timelines across nine lives thru multidimensional loops. Yes, that'll be it.

[@acmejava]

[@EM-xj3ls]

You're sew funny.

[@ippistein2450]

You make intriguingly ugly quilts and I love them :)

[@acmejava]

Nooo!!! You're using fabric that the cat can work with! Green with bubbles: cat takes a bath. Black with dog bones: cat torments his nemisis, the dog. Cameras: cat goes on vacation.

[@davescraftroom]

there was an extreme over abundance of fabric for the cat to work with 😅

[@smudgekids3203]

Lol. I enjoy hand quilting as well! Currently I have 3 vintage sewing machines that I really should get back into action. No hurry! Kinda like an artist painter brushing on the paint, stroke by stroke, creating an image of Art. I get such a kick outta your videos! I do like how you do the sandwich method. French seams. 🧵 Thanks! Oh!!! Have I missed a video where you show how you created your design board. I’ve seen people using different fabrics & such-like the back of a vinyl tablecloth-so I’m curious what you are using cuz those patches stick well!
