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

[@pamd6532]

A crazy quilted bookmark sounds cute

[@grandmasgarden6402]

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

[@janpurl8397]

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

[@trinam2503]

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!!

[@PinCutSew]

That is such a great idea!

[@rachelburgener819]

Sounds like a fun time🤪! Thanks for sharing ❤️😀

[@conniecamp5749]

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.😊

[@PinCutSew]

That's so sweet!

[@edieserrat7504]

Love the small craft s but enjoyed the dolls. Your crafty and resourceful. Thsnk for sharing

[@poodlegirl55]

My daughter always says "back in the 1900's"

[@creatressmwk8226]

I love these; so very cute. I am so very cheap, I could not waste any fabric. I normally strip pieces exactly to size while saving every inch of fabric I can. Oh, I was one of those doing crazy quilting starting in the late 70s. Made my wedding quilt out of crazy quilt squares. Then in the 80s and 90s I did custom vests out of crazy quilt with lots of embroidery, lace, charms, any kind of embellishments I could find. My creations were the "craze" around town, LOL! I still have some vests that I wear to my quilt quild meetings. Still love working in this style.

[@PinCutSew]

That’s so fun 🫶🏻

[@creatressmwk8226]

@@PinCutSew I've been thoroughly enjoying more of your videos. You have a sweet demeanor and are delightful to watch. I just saw your house tour video. I love your home. Thanks for sharing your crafting and personal life!

[@Brenda-r7t]

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

[@Lala-z4n3i]

In the 80’s I made a lot of crazy quilted Christmas stockings as gifts using scraps of fancy fabrics, bit of lace, trim scraps and antique buttons. They weren’t difficult, people loved them and they looked quite elegant. A lot of teachers got them a Christmas gifts because teachers only need so many traditional apples.

[@PinCutSew]

My sister made some of these when she got married in 1999, they looked very Victorian and were beautiful!

[@creatressmwk8226]

Oh, I did too! My girls still have them. Great idea you have for gifting to teachers.

[@craftsondisplay]

I absolutely love this crazy quilting technique, and your pumpkin coasters turned out adorable! Today I’ve featured your tutorial on Crafts on Display. I hope you enjoy it and keep up the fantastic work ❤

[@jo-annevandermey2704]

Another way to scrap bust! Thanks for sharing.

[@marywiggins7411]

This video from a year ago just popped up in my feed. Thank you for the ideas and cute pumpkin pattern.

[@PamDoughety]

I have been binge watching all your videos (even though some are "not my thing"). However, I have learned something from each one. Now I'm HOOKED on improv... I love the coasters I've been making (with every spare moment). The extra large hot pads, addicting.... Bowl covers (picking fabric combos).. Using my walking foot more... and just enjoying every aspect of picking fabric, cutting, sewing, the easy binding method and even picking. Thank you for sharing and teaching.... just saying... you're addicting too. anxious for your next video...

[@PinCutSew]

🤗

[@NanaKathy47]

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.

[@wendyhalonen-dowhan3275]

I made my first crazy pumpkin coaster (my first crazy quilting anything) with your tutorial and template and I think I may have a new addiction starting. This was fun! Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad I found you on here.

[@sewfun101]

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

[@kathybrigger9431]

I just caught your show today. Been sewing for 65 years but you are never too old to learn. I have picked up some tips from you. Neat quick tips. I was taught formal sewing or in other words, tailor tacking, pin everything, base stitch everything and so on. My stuff always looks great but wow what a lot of extra work. Did it that way for years and still know how to do it but I have cut way back on all the steps. I can make an outfit in pretty much a day and a half, and have it look as good as it did when I did all the extra steps. As far as your wool pad being on your cutting board, I bought a silicon pad from Amazon that goes in a hot press iron for vinyl, and I put that under my wool pad. I believe it's about 3/8" thick. It of course can take the heat, but it also protects my cutting mat as that is where I have to press. I built my cutting table and it's 6' x 4' and I have no where other than there I can press so it works out great. I miss my other table. It was 8' x 10', but I moved everything to the basement because pellets got too expensive and gave up my shop. Thanks so much for sharing. I will definitely be using many of your ideas.

[@cathys949]

My Grandma who taught me a lot about sewing, was alive in the '90s -- the 1890's !! Sometimes it amazes me how quickly time passes, and how closely we are tied to times past.

[@PinCutSew]

Wow!

[@karenfrancis2478]

I love crazy quilting. I have done queen bed quilts using this technique and used only small pieces. They look great. The grandkids like to look for special things similar to The I Spy quilts.

[@PinCutSew]

That’s so cute 🫶🏻

[@denisemcintosh7568]

Cute idea. I have a bunch of scraps. I'm gonna try this tomorrow. I need some pumpkin coasters. 😁

[@poodlegirl55]

Super cute!! You are so lucky to have your Mom live near you. I live 700 miles from one daughter and 1100 from the other...in different directions.

[@ohsewlori]

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

[@yvettemarie5236]

Thanks for sharing your pattern with us, very kind. I really haven’t tried crazy quilting. Starting with coasters is inspiring. ❤❤

[@scottydog6539]

This project is so very nice.

[@susanrichtarcik5672]

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

[@debrawoolard8663]

Thanks for the pattern. First time crazy quilting!! May try hand piecing!!

[@alexanderfarms99]

Love these. Hope you will do a Christmas pattern💕

[@lolabuttons]

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

[@ingridibBerland]

Nice way to use my scraps, thank you

[@shawnablake5102]

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.

[@christi4169]

Thank You for the free download!!! I really want to do this project!!

[@PinCutSew]

You are welcome!

[@Amritadivya54]

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

[@cherylrafuse3046]

Super cute, I’m going to try them. I’ve been making crazy quilted Christmas stockings. It’s been fun.

[@sherrymccurley173]

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!! ❤️

[@dianep649]

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.

[@PinCutSew]

Pot holders would be so cute! Use wool felt for the stem if you do that, or make a cotton stem, cause the poly felt will melt.

[@helenweatherby1694]

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

[@moniquesavoie5440]

Love this tutorial! ❤thank you for sharing 🥰

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 KZbin! Have a great week and good luck with the tiling!❤😊

[@patriciadangel8193]

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

[@PinCutSew]

Wow, awesome!

Thanks will be using it as a mug rug.

[@micheledelacruz4301]

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.

[@PamDoughety]

made 5 of these so far... takes more time to pick the scraps I'll use than making the coaster. Silly isn't it. Having so much fun sewing at 76 ( when I discovered Pin Cut Sew) than when I was 75.

[@shirley1413]

Love this,and it’s pumpkin time again!🎃🎃 your very talented and you have such a fun way of explaining and teaching! The tailors chalk is amazing my Mom, bless her sewing soul, was a professional seamstress, her specialty was slip covers, and she always used tailors chalk. I’m going to give these a go, as I have lots of scraps! ❤

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

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

[@pammusick2264]

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

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

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.

[@PinCutSew]

So sorry about your mat! KZbin comments saved me, they get full credit for that one.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

The thin wood pieces (2) I bought as rectangular sign decor (Easter? Halloween?) from Dollar Tree. Glued the sign fronts together (need to clamp them) to eliminate the possibility of sparkle or paint transfer onto my wool mats. Much cheaper than a piece of thin wood from Home Depot.@@PinCutSew

[@BAMom780]

​@@PinCutSewI made my own small ironing board that was backed with a piece of wood. This worked perfectly to put on top of my cutting mat so I did not warp it. I had limited table top space so they had to be on top of each other.

[@debbarrett9868]

Love love love these. I made 6 already

[@deniseboline5778]

Thanks Nikki!!

[@debrat777]

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

[@eloisaluera7357]

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

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

[@janem3378]

Great idea. Thanks

[@tingczhao]

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

[@jenniferbabel8603]

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

[@emilywhitaker1869]

Great timing! Looking for an older Girl Scout project.

[@donnacolegrove4113]

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

[@PinCutSew]

It IS relaxing!

[@lauriemullins8140]

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.

[@laceymesarchik2671]

frixion pens are awesome, draw/write and then iron off :)

[@lisajemmings8515]

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 !

[@francesjones5781]

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.

[@janetteewer1803]

Love the technique - I’m inspired!

[@Imjetta7]

Oh!! I love this, thank you so much!

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.

[@ritaalexander1639]

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 KZbin, and I love KZbin. Thank you so much.

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you so much for the kind word! Quilts aren’t supposed to be perfect, keep trying and practicing!
