Triple Play: 3 New Crumb Piecing Quilts with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@puricaro6738]

My greatgrama...she made a quilt like this one but by hand...she teach us how to sew

[@shirleystrosaker5337]

I learned doing this onto a 9x9 inch piece of muslin, standing at a treadle sewing machine, because if I sat I could not reach the pedal. Ethel, the woman who helped raise me after my father died & owned the machine, called it a crazy quilt. I did a quilt like that which I was proud to sleep under. Later I had the mumps & was home from school 6 weeks and I sat & hand sewed the piecing for a wedding ring quilt. Ethel finished it & gave it to me on my wedding day. The only quilt we had when we started our.

This was fun seeing you guys work on Jenny's crumb quilt in such a "free" manner-LOL

[@AshfordsBoulevard]

I made 7 throw size quilts for my friends kids this year for Christmas - made almost entirely of scraps, except for some backing. Made a huge dent in my scrap pile and the kids loved them! Win- win!

[@macsgrandma7995]

I love Natalie and Misty's confusion!!!

[@constancepeterson6156]

It is 10:30 pm and I don’t want to go bed. Because I want to make all these quilts. I like all three ideas. Boy, do I have crumbs. I spent the last few days organizing them into colors. So I am ready to go. I didn’t know what I was going to do all these scraps. Now I do. I had seen others make Crumb but they never appealed to me. Thanks so much from such fun tutorial. Who needs sleep when there is a quilt to make.

[@sharaharper2253]

Loved seeing Natalie and Misty trying to interpret Jenny’s creative genius.

I thought that too! Crumb piecing is better done alone!! 😁

[@kathyweverka4335]

Question to be answered on a tutorial (hopefully). Does someone read all the comments, or are we only entertaining each other? I love the triple plays!!! Spending my Saturday night reviewing them all. Concluding that no one teaches a classic block better than Jenny. However, I am in awe of Natalie's and Misty's contemporary eye. Every quilt they have taught on this series is on my to-do list. I cannot get enough of their modern quilts...MORE PLEASE

[@AnitaOHara-q8l]

I always read the comments. Lovely stories and great ideas. Nice to read what other people do and their views on the videos

This is perfect for my 10 year old! My boys love to quilt with me but my 10 year old loves to pull the tiny scraps out of the trash and sew stuff together. I’ll show him your quilt Jenny!

[@valerieeldridge-doyle2172]

Exactly my idea, it is a perfect quilt technique for kids because you don’t have to be perfectly accurate, it’s just fun ! I will put my 9 year old on the task and I’m sure she’ll love it !

So sweet you quilt with your boys! Handing the tradition down. Great mama. I tried with my second son and got the eye roll lol!

[@joyscranfield5527]

Started rummaging through scraps when I was a young kid. I'm now a grandma! Loved scraps then & now. I made crumb quilts back in the 60s! Had to learn to make individual blocks cause one big block wouldn't lay flat. Mom showed me a down & dirty way to fix it...just cut it & keep stitching. It worked! Thank you ladies for showing us your take on crumb quilting. Natalie, love the green. Misty, yours is colorful. Jenny, your crumb is my favorite!

[@kjthomas8213]

Too funny, Natalie was confused. You are all awesome!!!!

[@sharongrieser3978]

I sat down this morning to watch this and here it is, 9pm and I’m still sewing my crumbs together! Thank you for a fun tutorial!

So happy to see the ladies make crumb quilts.

[@sadler451]

I love how the same technique and even the same fabric can have a completely different look. It is fun to watch your different approaches to the same ideas. It gives me the confidence to be more experimental in my own quilts.

It makes my heart happy to see that lovely fabric wasn't wasted. Have yet to make one, but I'm gaining a lot of information about them in the mean time. Thanks for all of the educational videos you produce for all of us.

[@NubianRoxanna]

Love this and all the crumb quilts!!!! I think i may crumb the 10" squares and then applique a solid orange peel onto it to switch it up 💕. Thanks as always

[@hollycaron3567]

I was thinking the same thing... like a negative... Crumb and then a solid orange peel. Love these quilts.

[@taylorrosenberg3350]

I love making crumb quilts. I've been quilting since 1992 so you can imagine how many scraps I have, so I started using my scraps after watching Darlene Michaud on KZbin. I now have 5 lap quilts! Great way to use up scraps and to always be sewing! I don't think I'll ever be done. I will be moving up to 10" instead of the 8" I've been making.

[@Deeloveshergoldies]

I’ve just finished a quilt and I think I have enough to make Mistys as a baby quilt. I have just entered the crumb quilting phase of my journey so had been making squares like Jenny’s. Great to see other options. Natalie you have such a creative mind when it comes to design. My favourite trio. Thankyou ladies

[@karenraabis5296]

Misty you out did yourself! That was so fun. I love them all but Mistys was amazing

[@gstbadcat1]

I’ve been interested in the modern movement of quilts so love, love, love Natalie’s. I’m also a long arm quilter and so excited to see Natalie chose a modern quilt design to finish it off. It really complimented the quilt instead of competed.

Hello Cathy

[@debbiemoten1064]

I want to share my crumb piece adventure, I made strips from my 3 huge industrial garbage bag of strips I have been hoarding 😊 and I cut my strips into large triangles, then in my excitement I realized I was wasting my fabric From the triangle edges I then started using the fabric from the triangle WOW I got such joy from that project.

I didn;t think I would ever like crumb quilting, but you guys made them looks beautiful and so full of inspiration, Thank you so much for this triple play! I LOVED IT!!!

[@dotlewallen1489]

I held my breath watching this as this is exactly how my Grandmother would quilt. She used pieces from old clothes or sometimes she would just send me to the five and dime to pick up cheap fabrics and spend the day cutting things into strips. How fun to watch this and realize that now I can do this too. Thank you so much for all the ideas, and I loved the orange peel tip. I never thought how to do applique so easy. Thanks thanks

You three never disappoint! Such fabulous ideas! I took up quilting to make wedding quilts for all of my family and friends. This year, my son is getting married (YAY!) and I wanted to make him a medallion style quilt, but really did not have any idea on how to do it. Misty's quilt gave me the inspiration I needed and I drew out his quilt pattern. Thank You so Very Much for turning on the lightbulb inside my head!!

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

Lots of fun watching all the mass confusion. Loved Misty’s quilt. It looked like 30s fabrics as it was hanging even though I know it wasn’t. Those are the fabrics that really speak to me. Just so adorable!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I watched this tutorial and started making crumb blocks. Haven't been quilting long enough for a super collection of crumbs, but getting a stack of blocks. :) now I want to make all three. I picked up a couple extra pieces of fabric from the thrift store.

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Still making 10" crumb squares!

[@seaside2001]

No No No! Thats not trash. lol That goes into the stuffing for a dog or cat bed for the animal shelter. If you don't have enough crumbs for a quilt, a few squares make great hot pot pads etc. Crumb quilting is fun and keeps fabric out of the landfill. I know you are in the fabric selling business, but my Mom used to make these crumb quilts reversible. Crumbs on both sides.

It is so relaxing to me. No rules, no stress, and no wasting! And I always learn something from MSQC! Thank you for all you do!

[@namevale8835]

I started quilting about 7 years ago, I made a couple of quilts and haven't quilted again till now. I finally finished binding my very first quilt. It has been sitting these past 7 years. I truly hate hand sewing. I am very impatient, that's why other quilts got made withoutout finishing that first one. When I first saw these "crazy" scrap quilts when I started quilting, I didn't quite understand the appeal. This video really shows you what can be done with your scraps. I appreciate the three ideas. I have been good at saving usable scrap pieces, so some day I can make a "crumbs" quilt, especially now that this tutorial showed me options. Thanks for another great tutorial. I really had fun watching the three of you work together on Jenny's scraps.😁

[@lisaherr4132]

I am working on a crumb quilt but mine are little teeny tiny pieces. I loved watching this tutorial where I can increase the size of my crumbs and it won’t take me forever to come up with a block. Thank you so much for this great tutorial!

I have found that if you want to make the blocks cohesive, you can add either turquoise or red. These colors would also look fabulous as sashing.
