Modern Improv Scrap Quilt - Using Ruby Star Society Fabric Scraps!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

I would love to hear your thoughts on whether this looks easy or if you would find it frustrating to not have set block sizes?

[@yanzhizhang5]

I like it so much. Looks very simply and generous👍. I want make one for my daughter . I just frustrating to the colors.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

@@yanzhizhang5 glad you liked it! Don’t stress about the colours just go with what you like and trust your gut!!

[@yanzhizhang5]

@@ScrapFabricLove Thank you. I’ll try use my crumb make a quilt for my daughter because I made more than 1,000 masks last year and donated them to the community. I just use these crumb learn to how to make blocks and quilting 😄. No stress 😎.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

@@yanzhizhang5 fab! And we’ll done you for making all those masks!! 👍🏽

[@lindadechow3703]

What I loved about this was the ability to take random remnant pieces and turn them into squares rather than a odd cuts like a crazy quilt. I am going to try both. This is really pretty. And I bet you perfectly matched your friend's personality and likes.

[@vonneywright4028]

I’ve only just watched this as part of the new quilt along viewing, which I would love to think I could do. I love scrappy quilts but have never really done any improv quilting. Thanks for the constant inspiration Kristen ❤️, Vonney x

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Hope the second video makes sense to you - it’s just uploading now (that part often takes awhile!). Do let me know if not - I find this kind of process so fun and I hope you will too.

[@katehenry2718]

Superb!! I love the puzzle technique. Crumb quilts are a joy, and this one is a massive crumb block!! I've never tried sewing the layers together on my sewing machine, but there's no real reason not to. Just because I'm chicken hahaha I might try doing quarters of the quilt and assembling them last. So far, I'm a traditionalist but scrap colors. All of yours turn out to be comforting to sleep under )))) All of them will make good dreams. ))) THANKS

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! It really is fun to just go for it - give it a try some time!

[@carolramsey9692]

Hi, I'm really a traditional quilter but I absolutely love your quilt! I have to put this on my to do list!!!!! Thank you!

[@Old_Scot]

This is wonderful! You did make it look easy, but I'm sure your great eye for colour must contribute to making it look so modern and intentional!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that quilt. I'm scared I would totally freak out trying to get all the pieces together, but I'd like to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Aw thanks so much! Glad you liked it! Give it a go and don’t stress too much! Just add small strips anytime it doesn’t fit.

[@katehenry2718]

If a part is too small, add more background. Play. Enjoy. NO time limit. just keep adding till you are happy. ))))

You are very inspirational for me. It is nice to see more of the Modern Improv Scrap Quilting. When I started there were not many Improv quilters. I love it Thank you

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!

[@islandquilter]

Love it! I am definitely going to put this on my to do list 😊

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Yeah! So glad you liked it!

[@jacquiwilmot7802]

Hi Kristen, I've been following you for a while now and enjoy your kind of randomness which suddenly becomes a coherent whole. I'm definitely going to try that quilt line method. Can't understand why you don't have a bigger following - you're doing a great job.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Aw thank you so much! That’s so nice of you to say! Glad you liked the video. I love being a bit random!

[@shawnhickman7730]

Beautiful! I’d give this a try, but I might find it hard to start without a plan and purpose in my head.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks! It can help to limit your colours or limit the size or give some other constraint so that you don’t throw everything at it and you have a few less choices to make along the way.

[@wilycat5290]

That's a beautiful quilt right there. You are very talented. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! I really liked how that quilt turned out. It’s often the simple ones I like best!

Thanks so much!

[@eileenkahan8942]

Really enjoy your low key style and the subtle beauty of your colors and quilting. Many thanks for sharing your process.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much!!

[@patstrawhouse4005]

Wow! I stumbled-quite happily-upon your website, which led me to your improve quilt and this video. I’ve been quilting traditional pieced quilts since the ‘70s, and I have recently decided to focus on making smaller projects. You have now inspired me to create improv quilts in various sizes, including miniature quilts. I currently have fabric and a pattern for a small throw quilt for a toddler, but it’s now going to be an improve quilt. I can’t wait to get started! Thank you SO much for this fabulous tutorial. I’m now subscribed to your channel, and I look forward to exploring your playlist. Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

@@ScrapFabricLove I grew up in Toronto. I now live about halfway btwn Bracebridge and Huntsville.

Oh good! Glad it all made sense!

[@Art930]

I really really like this quilt and thank you for showing how you put it together. I made an improv quilt a couple of years ago, just winging it - wish I'd seen this video first!

Thanks! It’s a fun one to make- hope you enjoy!

[@kattysjunkshop]

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing

[@MariaDoricheva]

Thank you an inspiration! I can't wait to try this method. It seems very freeing. It will be also fun to try the fleece backing. Keep up the great job! I enjoy your channel very much!

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! Yes it is freeing - have fun with it!

[@lalagamma4452]

Hello Kristen I just love this quilt! And yes it looks difficult most everything you do looks difficult thanks for sharing!! ✌️🐞🕉️

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Oh no! I don’t want to make it seem difficult! I promise it only looks that way until you have a go and then it gets easier. Remember I’ve only been quilting for about a year and a half! Do let me know anytime if there is any project I could explain more so I can show you how easy everything I do actually is!

[@lalagamma4452]

I didn't mean it that way I'm so sorry you misunderstood. I just meant you are so good at it already. I know it takes time. Please continue to be the way you are I love watching 🐞🤗🥰

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Haha! Sorry I took it the wrong way!

[@kathydexter4557]

I have liked improv quilts, but I was a little nervous to try one. Yours is simple and looks fantastic! I am going to try this! Thank you for the inspiration and tutorial.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Thanks so much! So happy you are going to give it a go! Good luck!

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

Amazing!!! This puzzling would make me cry lol!!! I need a pattern. Wow i wish i could do this

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Patterns have nearly made me cry once or twice! The world is more interesting with different types of folk in it I guess! This type of quilt is way easier for me than following a pattern.

[@ritawhitney210]

I love this Improv quilt…. I love the idea of adding the neutrals as you go. It’s much more fun… Touché

Glad you like it! Thanks!

Yes totally could be good for using up leftovers on a backing!

Thanks for the info. I have three large totes of scraps and 4 scrap quilts in progess, ok, now it's 5 I guess.

[@ScrapFabricLove]

Good luck with all those quilts!

[@AnitaSouthall]

By fleece, for the backing, do you mean the type used in windcheaters for clothing? Which side faces outwards? The flat or fluffy side?

[@ScrapFabricLove]

The kind I use is called anti-pil fleece. I use it fluffyish side out but the kind I buy it looks very similar both sides (not super fluffy) so I don’t think it would matter too much which way.
