Crumble Weave | Scrap and Crumb Quilt Pattern | Free Pattern

[@brontebenoit6181]

Amazing! You took basically a pile of fabric trash and created stunning crumb strips. I cannot wait to see the finished quilt. Thanks for the inspiration. 🤩

[@pattiadams3968]

I found used dryer sheets work great for crumb piecing. Just iron flat, bonus, they clean the sole plate of your iron, and cut into strips, squares…or after adding fabrics, cut into shapes and raw edge or turned edge appliqué. No paper to tear and uses items destined for the trash.

[@jacquisantangelo6542]

I watched this video at 3am, the howling wind kept me awake. I’ve been trying a Declutter Challenge and unearthed bags and bags of leftovers from quilts I made. Quilters never throw anything out. I’ve made the traditional string quilts many times with strips. This “Crumb” strips will fit my purpose to use up these precious scraps that I’ve saved too long. Thank you, I’ve enjoyed all your great videos for layer cakes.

[@deb10011]

i use old store receipts for paper backing. much thinner and easier to remove after sewing. no extra cost either1

[@laris2328]

For background dilemma, use white low volume scrappy fabric. I've got about 4 different ones in one quilt. Unless you really look, you can't tell the difference. All you see is the "movement".

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Love that idea!

[@jobabs]

That is what I always do, use multiple fabrics for background. It always looks good.

[@dcinrb8538]

When my friend retired, he gifted me all his "work shirts". These were long-sleeved dress shirts in pastels and mostly white 100% cotton. He was going to live in t-shirts and cargo pants forever more. I used them all as background alternate blocks with my scrappy crumbs. Even as alternate columns for a Chinese coin pillow, the difference is not readily evident. Figuring out how to use up the cuffs and collars was fun too. Small bits of coffee prints and a beige pillow case combined with all those shades of white made for muted blocks. 🍄🍄

[@sweetcake405]

I love crumb piecing, so relaxing, thank you for a new idea to use crumbs, good luck on the king size. I'm working on a king size with 5x10 rectangles, making a shadow quilt. I wish us both luck

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Good luck! Lol

[@kendranewton9071]

I make mine on paper tape for an adding machine. It’s about 2-3” wide, and you can sew a long strip of crumbs. No cutting large paper down to size, easy peasy.

[@cynthiajones1461]

I use water soluble interfacing for both crumb quilts and string quilts. There's no need to tear anything away and it's fairly inexpensive as I wait for the sales. It's also much easier to sew with than paper.

[@adrake7381]

Me too, it’s great. Stabilisers your work and no need to remove.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Fantastic idea! I'll need to try this out ASAP!

[@YvonneCole-ok2rc]

Where did you find the water soluble interfacing? I have never tried it. Thank you.

[@YvonneCole-ok2rc]

@35803 Thank you!

[@LauraSup]

I also use the water soluble stabilizer! It is definitely a time saver because you don’t have all the paper to deal with. I find that since I started using the stabilizer, my blocks seem to come out much more consistent!

[@tippylaroux3137]

I have a ton of scraps from EPP that I sewed to adding machine tape. Then I didn’t have a clue what to do with it. I don’t like all scraps (it’s Tula pink so looks like rainbow barf) but nothing else excited me. I think I’m going to try this, but maybe use some of the solid jelly roll strips I have laying around…. Great video!

[@doreensherk287]

That is a great technique, I like it and will be doing that pattern. I have soooooo many crumb pieces. This will be an interesting way to use them up. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@MoonkinStitchery]

You are so welcome! 🤗

[@lizreynolds4554]

I've used register tape, and receipts too. I like these fun abstract patterns. I've made several baby quilts like this. Babies love the flashy patterns and colors . Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊🎉

[@bella-bee]

Please check you’re not using receipts that contain BPA, those heat printed rolls. It gets through the skin, hormone disruptor, bad stuff

[@armanisavoyflores5017]

Thank you for teaching us such a cool technique. Looking forward to trying it!

[@guyscrafttoo]

I love this. Haven't done any tiny pieces yet but want to try this.

[@suedavis1835]

Another awesome video. I’ve tried this before using adding machine tape, but never really finished any project with the crumb strips. I like the idea of using neutral fabric in between the strips. I think the reason why yours look so fabulous is because your choice of colors is excellent. Because they are from a collection, it looks way better than mine would.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Personally, I LOVE scrappy crumb quilts that are a jumble of everything and anything; but every time I tried to make one, my brain couldn't agree. I tended to over think and analyze my selections. Once I started keeping scraps in collections everything started clicking and became inspiring! Lol (but if someone else threw everything in, I'd LOVE IT! Lol)

[@suedavis1835]

@@MoonkinStitchery - I think that is what makes your videos and process unique. Your projects are simple, yet sophisticated. Your teaching style is no-nonsense and straightforward. The results speak for themselves. I am always anxious to see what new tips and techniques you so generously share with us!

[@momistaken]

I like the idea of more controlled crumbs. I wonder if anyone has used old paper patterns for the paper….

[@dcinrb8538]

My adding machine tape crumb strips are about a yard long each. I create fabric by sewing the long sides together. About six strips. Then I remove the paper. After cutting out the pattern, I back each piece with interfacing. So far, I've made masks, bucket hats, pin cushions, pencil pouches, coasters, narrow table runner, pockets (for aprons) and toss pillows. No two things ever look alike.... Lol

[@AlaskaCraftyGalVictoria]

I love scrappy projects! ❤ This is a great block. Thank you for taking the time to share this idea! 😊

[@marycook9607]

If I'm doing a quilt, you can just quilt your scraps right on your batting. Then just add your backing and binding. 😊

[@Dianaprimartinez]

Keep on going! I am eager to see the complete king size quilt. 🙌🏼

[@doreensherk287]

I have been making these blocks, but I used my small strips on paper cut to size. It looks so interesting. Thanks for your great videos…….❤

[@MsTreefox]

This is super cool! I made a king out of scraps from three people's collections and it took me a year haha. I'd love to try a crumb quilt next

[@ms.m2054]

I LOVE CRUMBS!!!

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

Excellent! I am late to this video but I already got the pattern before I even started watching. Edited to add that I conveniently have a large pack of 8 1/2 by 11 newspaper weight paper that I bought from Amazon. Currently this paper is being used for my rainbow string quilt, which is a work in progress.

[@proud2bktsmama]

I just finished making this quilt and it is with my longarmer now! I'm so excited about the way it turned out. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern!

[@MoonkinStitchery]

So exciting to hear! I bet it is fantastic! Thank You!

[@Marialla.]

Brilliant! I've always loved scrap/crumb quilts, but it's so good to see them used in a little more organized way.

[@karenbirckhead3101]

It’s a crazy crumb quilt! So creative!!❣️

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Thank you! 💜

[@CorrinaWalkden5]

This is perfect for my scraps and looks so great by separating with a solid. Thanks for sharing your free pattern!

[@annolsen8276]

I received a lot of fabric from a neighbor years ago, in there was many 2-3 inch white strips. They were really thin, so I started using them as a foundation for my crumbs. Works out great. Not sure what I'll do with them, right now just collecting them. Also I have read/seen to use a denim/Jean needle and take smaller stitiches, like 1.6, with the paper, it will come off more easily.

[@dcharlton162]

Love your videos and your presentation. Do pleasant to listen to. I finally made my first string blocks using scraps. Omg it’s addicting. I did make as many as I could and then placed them all in a bin like yours and I’ll keep adding to it. Now excited to use this method for all those crazy pieces. I have seen where someone used adding machine tape but don’t think it would be the correct width for this pattern. Thank you sharing a your amazing talent with us all!

[@marcamp5450]

Just cut your background strips the same width as the tape. Or have any width background strip to get your blocks the size you want.

[@giovannacasadio9600]

I love sewing tiny pieces of fabric. ❤ thanks for the idea. 😊

[@judyannyelton3906]

This is so awesome! I have tons of crumbs and now I know what to do with them.

[@marionbartley214]

This is a great way to use up scraps.The pattern is easy also.Thank You for the video.

[@elainelear4982]

I made a small cut next to each side of the seams. This helped me start the paper removal process.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Oh, that's a brilliant idea! I need to remember that! Lol

[@PatsyScholzorcutt-xj8ko]

These blocks are going to make a awesome quilt, can’t wait to see it finished.😊

[@glendahyde871]

I love sewing scraps & you have some awesome patterns. Thank you

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Glad you like them! 😄

[@patriciamoller3060]

Very clever , thankyou , always enjoy your wonder full idea

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Many thanks! 🤗

[@lisawaterman2737]

Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@RobinPowell-k2v]

I'm making a quilt like this. It's fun to make.

[@tammystansell406]

Rolls of adding machine paper also works great! I had a bunch of rolls and my adding machine gave up the ghost...Made it so easy to just be cutting a couple inches for length and time saving.

[@tammyeaton4791]

This is just brilliant!, I did nothing to make paper pieced strips with my scraps!

[@teresajasmer1358]

Great lesson on crumbs! SO , I have made a strip quilt in this method. Duh..!😅. Let me get started. Thanks!!!❤

[@lexitejeda6209]

I have been quilting only 6 years, but I recently made a top 50 x 60” from all scraps (no background) and barely dented my leftovers. I’d bet most quilters have plenty enough for several scrap quilts.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

My goal is to make a 100% pure scrappy quilt one day. Lol

[@patriciaguevara8793]

I love this! I have been starting sewing my crumbs in to large pieces - I think I’ll cut them down and do your pattern. So much faster! Thank you for the tutorial and idea 😊

[@melodied4314]

I love crumb quilts❤

[@susannenadeau9894]

Really like the look of this quilt…thanks so much!

[@parkerchiudioni9981]

Wow! This is awesome! Thank you so much for the tutorial, pattern and idea.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

You are so welcome!

[@dianehutchens]

Dryer sheets is my go to for quilt blocks.

[@hollyhuber675]

What a great idea!

[@hollyhuber675]

OK they are plasticised but using them as backing will keep them out of the landfill for tge next 40 - 50 years

[@SaraH-zt1ek]

New subscriber here. 😊 I'm dying to do a crumb quilt... I think this would also work really well as a Quilt As You Go style.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Oooo! Love that idea!

[@JudyMurtagh-h1x]

Love this and I specially love the fabrics you're using. Thank you.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Thank you! 😊

[@maggiehalbert5184]

Another great video…. I think I hear my crumbs calling me ❤

[@lynnetteross995]

Love the effect you have created. Looks fantastic.

[@vdsuan]

So many good tips! Thank you!

[@BellaSandella]

Sweet way to use up all those scraps!!!

[@wilycat5290]

Nice idea. Thank you for the video 😊

[@agnieszkaacka6733]

I love this little patch❤

[@sheilacraft5027]

While I don't throw anything away, I do exchange scraps with people to keep my scrap bin "fresh" and I use the really, really tiny scraps (such as the cut off dog ears) for pet beds. I try not to have any waste. This is a cute way to use those scraps.

[@carolynthomas4527]

This turned out so pretty, I love it!

[@karenhickey3377]

What a fun idea! Thank you for such a great video 🤗

[@carolynthomas4527]

I see lots of fabrics that know you made quilts from!!

[@Quiltycat-dq3ys]

That's the seam roller I have (and the one I recommend). It's way better than any of the wooden ones on the market because it's a bit heavier, so it flattens the seams more easily.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Definitely! It's also perfect if you like making quilt bags, cork / vinyl bags, etc. too! 💜

[@Judith-wq2jp]

I made my own from a broken tortoise-shell (plastic) hairbrush that I found outside JoAnn's Fabrics one day. It was mostly handle, and I put it in my vise and smoothed it down. Works great, and it was FREE!

[@chareast9997]

If you use news print paper,it is easy to remove. My doctor sold me a roll of the paper they use to cover the exam table..works great

[@NellieShannon-p9g]

Very nice! I do have my strips.

[@julyflowers6091]

My aunt would use the rolls that are used for receipts, it separates from the stitches easily

[@ndlz1]

I believe if you paid for, or received gifted fabric it’s not meant for the trash! Even the stringiest of strings can be used in filling a project. The crumbiest of crumbs can be collaged into a frame. Good quality cotton is too costly to throw out!

[@hollyhuber675]

What is that American pharmacy that gives ludicrously long receipts? Nip in and buy some chewing gum!!!

[@TD-pp4jl]

😂 CVS

[@susansmithey5317]

I believe in balance. Not everything needs to be or should be saved. Once I receive a gift it’s mine to do with as I please. I frequently donate supplies.

[@ndlz1]

@ Really good for you.

[@carolynthomas4527]

This turned out great!

[@netty062]

Do you have a sharing space where people who have made this quilt can share their finishes? Great tutorial.

[@juliechao3638]

Enjoying the replay ❤

[@tonistevens2253]

You can buy fabric rolls of differing widths and you can leave it in the quilt. If you like paper, there is foundation paper that is newsprint.

[@JeanHudson2022]

Tried to download the pattern ordered it but it hasn't came in my email is that pattern offer over

[@colleencosta6944]

Great tutorial. ❤

[@mariadiebert892]

Love this tutorial!

[@_Lynaed_]

wow, this is the first crumble quilt block I like. maybe it is because there is a kind of tidyness in it or the colors are not that chaotic? :D

[@eliscanfield3913]

I may use my kids' old math pages, lol. They're always bringing them home and they just go in the recycling anyway.

[@deebynum9363]

What is the designer of the fabric you used in this quilt than looks like bark or lightening?

[@DioneTippawang]

Excellent, thank you!

[@Valsora1641]

What is the primary fabric collection used in this video? I see it's Art Gallery Fabric, but what line/lines? I absolutely love it!

[@MoonkinStitchery]

The season of tribute, listen to your heart collection.

[@brontebenoit6181]

Fascinating!

[@АнастасияГарчук]

💯👍 с удовольствием вас смотрю ,

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Thank you! 💜

[@sdv1967]

How much yardage is required for American king size quilt...if you are not using any kind of precuts

[@S3Grammy]

i enjoyed your video. I especially like how the background fabric sets off all the busy crumbs.. Just a thought--you could use adding machine tape and avoid the need to cut all that typing paper.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Yes, or as others suggested water soluble stabilizer so you don't have to remove any of it since it will wash off later on. 💜 (Rolls have been added to my shopping cart! Lol)

[@sparks1224]

I love this!

[@davidhatfield5714]

I love..love to crump quilt! I find that I don’t have to use a foundation of any kind if I starch. I want to suggest, if I do use a foundation..the paper from Social Security Benefits books the government sends out each year to us retired folks, is great paper for foundations. Ask your retired family to save them for you👍😂(KH)

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Ohhh! Very intriguing! What a great tip, thank you!

[@morganwalker2098]

What is that background fabric you use? I love it so much!

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Page turner by art gallery fabrics. 😊 (It I can recall there is a grey and creamy/yellow available.)

[@MarciaBaker1205]

That's so creative

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Lovely...thanks❤

[@MoonkinStitchery]

You're welcome 😊

[@AngelaJonesQuilts]

Wow, nice! Thanks!

[@rise2824]

Another great quilt block. For a king size quilt, why don't you use 12 1/2" strips? Make your strips bigger where you won't need as many.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Sure, you could do that. Scale the block to whatever size you'd want.

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

I like it!

[@sharonlyman3029]

I did not see the free pattern link.

[@stellabella6839]

I have a question. First of all, I am a novice, self taught sewist, so I am certainly no expert. But why wouldn’t you use strips of , say, an old sheet or a remnant to sew the scraps onto? I use my scraps a little like this. Although I put the seams on top, using decorative stitches and zig zag stitches (I like the rustic look of it). But if I were to do this method, I would sew to strips of fabric rather than paper, just because of the paper crumb mess. What is the benefit of the paper? Sincerely asking.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Sure, you can do that. There are honestly hundreds of different ways, I'm just showing one method.

[@rachelrene81]

You could make it easier by using sew in interfacing instead of paper.

[@chloetenbusch7331]

I want to get the pattern but I can't because they said that my phone number is wrong. I did put my rights phone number in.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

You might be putting your phone number in the wrong format?

[@CraftNurseQuilt]

You can drop your stitch length down, I use a 1 and it prefer-rates the paper making it super easy to remove

[@jessieflores8788]

Adding machine tape would be a great time saver.

[@jackiehorn3724]

I wanted to get the pattern and try it. But it will not advance me into the process without my putting in my phone. And I gift 15 to 20 spam calls a day, and double that in texts. I don’t give out my phone number or create accounts when it is not necessary any longer. These calls start early in the morning and continue into late evening. So, no un necessary info.

[@proud2bktsmama]

May I ask why you say "Do not iron it!" Is there a reason behind it other than convenience?

[@MoonkinStitchery]

While you're piecing the iron can warp the paper causing it to distort. Thats why I iron at the end. ☺️

[@Amal2365]

L❤it, thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@MoonkinStitchery]

Always! 💜🤗

[@gloriawoods9848]

I don't use paper, instead I use lightweight fabric or even light colored flannel.

[@MoonkinStitchery]

That will be a nice weighted quilt! 💜

[@reginamiller788]

I use thin muslin for the piecing

[@gaylevaughn]

Where is the pattern?

[@Jackfrost0704]

Love it but I sort by color and size, my brain won’t let me just dump them together. Thank you for the pattern

Oooh don’t cut those big strips! Can’t bear it😨
