My favorite kind of quilting. No planning and no stress.

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Yes, just fun 🤩

[@cindywagner4623]

These are my favorite videos, other peoples scraps and crumbs. Love it. Those all stripes in one direction, I’ll cut them into 2” , 3” strips for even scrappier

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Yes, I like to put them on point too. Excellent fun

[@jimbennett374]

I can do this for hours. It's like getting 'free' fabric

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Me too. And me too🎊🎉🎊

[@user-fi2lb9dn5w]

Looks like simple, comfortable sewing of nothing into something. Very soothing and exciting to see fabric come out of what some throw away. Great share 😊

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Thank you! 😊

Greetings from New Zealand. This is wonderful, you just got started and got on with it. I love that.

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Wow, thank you. Welcome 🤗

[@darlenewoods880]

This is also my favorite block making! Spent 3 hours pressing, next is cut one side straight. These are really scrappy blocks. Sometimes I even have triangles! Anything over 1 1/2 inch is fair game😊

[@wherewendytravels]

Yes! I am excited. I use larger pieces first then cut them up and add little ones. Happy sewing

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Awesome and true. Thank you my friend

[@nannytimes5nlovethem824]

I love this too! cant wait to use up my scraps.

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Yay! Thank you!

[@FrogWhizzer]

Making fabric out of pieces has become my absolute passion! It’s fun to watch others techniques making crumb quilts! I am loving this method you’re showing. I do a long strip and sew pieces on making for a mosaic of very small pieces. I sew…. Cut…… sew…. lol! It’s so much cheaper than therapy as all my friends save their scraps for me! Most of my quilts are donations which makes my heart dance! ❤

[@WhereWendyCreates]

So happy. I sew agree with you. Thank you. Cheers. Happy quilting

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I love making scrappy blocks. very fun and relaxing to stitch. They usually wind up being dog blankets or similar.

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Oh cool! Yes, lots of fun and ideas

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

That ruler is awesome when doing french braid sections, you can cut straignt edge, turn and get a 45°, out of a 2 1/2" e.g. strip, lay 2 strips right sides together for equal numbers of left and right side pieces. The angles go outside to get a section with no cut offs. Decide on a size and cut out a scrappy quilt? Separate your left and rights into 2 piles,,,, Get sewing and cut sections to length later... sew the last triangle at the bottom section of the first one with partial seams. Have fun!

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Thank you, thank you. Incredible rulers. Happy quilting

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

Good morning Wendy! I just found you and decided to subscribe to your channel…I love how you present what you are doing. 👍🏻👵🏻

[@WhereWendyCreates]

Welcome! Thank you so much! Welcome

[@carolynquick]

I was told to remove the salvages because when washed they shrink. Do you agree?

[@WhereWendyCreates]

selvages usually do not shrink. The rest of the cotton fabric shrinks 1% to 5% depending on the quality. You trim the selvage cause it does not shrink so it would create wrinkles or puckers in the end product

[@crystal-jeanroat2885]

I mostly agree with WhereWendy, but I have seen Selvages shrink more than the rest of the fabric in some brands. When you really, really need that extra fabric in the selvage, you can nip the selvage in the seam allowance at a 90 degree angle from the seam to break the ‘seal’, I do this every 1/2” or so. This prevents the selvages from rippling in the quilt. As a long arm quilters, I sometimes have the nip the selvages when customers bring backings with the selvage still on in the seam for the back of a quilt, but the seam allowance is too small to lose that fabric.

[@carolynquick]

I agree with you.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

@@WhereWendyCreatesclipping the selvage solves all rebukes of its use.

[@WhereWendyCreates]

@@notesfromleisa-land very true
