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

[@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"

[@grandmasgarden6402]

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

[@pamd6532]

A crazy quilted bookmark sounds cute

[@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.

[@marywiggins7411]

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

[@janpurl8397]

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

[@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!

[@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!! ❤️

[@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.

[@ohsewlori]

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

[@debrawoolard8663]

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

[@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.

[@amyhofner6777]

Adorable

[@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! ❤

[@moniquesavoie5440]

Love this tutorial! ❤thank you for sharing 🥰

[@Brenda-r7t]

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

[@alexanderfarms99]

Love these. Hope you will do a Christmas pattern💕

[@suzannejambon4736]

Thank you for sharing!

[@sarahbailey3778]

This looks sooo cute and super fun. I know what I'm doing today! Thank you for this tutorial and also providing the free template.

[@Loridye3605]

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!❤😊

[@susanrichtarcik5672]

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

[@lolabuttons]

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

[@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.

[@sewfun101]

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

[@scottydog6539]

This project is so very nice.

[@nancymcnamara2025]

These are adorable...thanks for sharing! 🪡🎃🧵

[@debrat777]

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

[@cherylbearden261]

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

[@francesjones5781]

Have you ever done a handsew tutorial? I love them. When had knee replacement right in middle of COVID, I had portable cutting and ironing board. And I hand sewed mask and donated them to recovery center for women. Learned from Twins day where all patterns were hand made and sewn. Would love to see you hand sew a crazy block.

[@PinCutSew]

I’ll put it on the list!

[@zormier2002]

How fun! I love it

[@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.

[@donnacolegrove4113]

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

[@PinCutSew]

It IS relaxing!

[@helenweatherby1694]

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

[@CLAIRE-cu9un]

Hi, Nikki! I'm new to your channel and just love this tutorial! I will definitely make these for my daughters who are both teachers! I know they will love them! Thanks for the inspiration and the free pattern! Blessings to you and your family!!!

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you so much, I’m glad you found me! 🤗

[@aprilbaxter2578]

Very nice idea!

[@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 ❤️😀

[@Jane-co5pp]

Very cute! Thanks for the tutorial! Just an FYI - Pilot Frixion Pens work great on fabric and disappear with heat. I couldn't get by without them for some of my projects.

[@PinCutSew]

Thanks, I’ll give them a try!

[@bluestar.8938]

Thank you : )

[@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

[@dawnlunn2405]

Great gift ideas for teachers! Thanks for sharing. Very peaceful process. Blessings, Dawn

[@amylee6592]

You are so natural and encouraging. This is a really cute project for crazy quilting. A great way to use small scraps/ I have to try this now. Thank you!!!

[@malnelson4045]

[@janem3378]

Great idea. Thanks

[@robinschumacher137]

[@janetteewer1803]

Love the technique - I’m inspired!

[@patmaddux.9962]

Going to make some of these for my October lunch with classmates. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@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

[@CopycatQuilter]

This is a cute project! I can see doing Christmas stocking coasters or Easter eggs… thanks for sharing!

[@kathleencoe1058]

I going to make these. So cute

[@lindabeckman3053]

These are adorable Nikki! I don’t decorate for holidays much anymore, but I may have to make an exception here, because these are too cute AND USE UP SCRAPS! I am also a papercrafter, so it might be fun to translate these into fall cards as well! I love the idea of putting a cute flower or critter at the center to highlight it, and then build your quilt block around it. Have you made a quilt in this way? If so, please share it on your channel! I really like your journal cover too. I have a stash of composition notebooks that I might need to figure out dimensions to make into personalized journal covers for gifts. Thanks for inspiring me today, as usual!

[@PinCutSew]

A paper version would be so cute!

[@BAMom780]

Oh yes I would to see if you have made a quilt this way!

[@imsewnavy]

Cute! Trying it now!

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

[@claudette9784]

These are awesome!! My bestie loves what she calls cozies… soft coasters she puts like a lid on her hot tea mug. She’s also a big seasonal decorator… guess what she’s getting this week !? I’ve added some spices in earlier ones I made her… will try that again when quilting the lines on!

[@rachelburgener819]

Ohhhh that’s a neat idea! ❤️😀

[@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.

[@tingczhao]

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

[@pamatt73]

This is so cute❤❤❤

[@sswc53]

This would be better with a triangle or hexagon base

[@jacquipayne7346]

LOVE it! I hate to be picky, but could you show us how you do it by hand? on the muslin? pretty please? BTW I bought your mermaid pattern! I've NEVER made a doll, wish me luck!

[@PinCutSew]

You can do it! And I will put a hand crazy quilting project on my list 👍🏻

[@joettabraddock9480]

FYI, I went to the Dollar Tree and bought a $1.25 thick plastic placemat and put it under my wool cutting mat to protect my table from the moisture of any steam seeping through it. I have had no trouble with it.

[@PinCutSew]

Great idea!

[@scottydog6539]

My Mat was ruined when I ironed aprons I made. I put an ironing pad on my mat and then ironed. My May buckled and I could not get it flat any longer. Had to trash it.

[@kristyparks939]

Pentacle is the witchcraft thing. Pentagram is something….different. Lol

[@PinCutSew]

Ohhhhh lol

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

Your definition is incorrect. Wiccans use pentagrams inside of a pentacle (pentagram inside of a circle.) Some do not distinguish a difference between the words. Both are considered pagan symbols. People who have a sense of Christian religion that is offended by the concept of a pagan symbol do not celebrate Halloween, so use of a pentagram is inconsequential.

[@matthewflinchum5452]

Cute idea! 🎃🎃🎃

[@wendyrodriguez5375]

Since this will be my first time Can I make a large piece for the center. ❓❓❓

Of course!

I can testify that your mat will warp if you put your wool mat on top of it and iron🤦🏻‍♀️
