I'd like to see how you combine blocks into a quilt! Love the concept!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks!

[@viviannefraser5974]

I guess that’s called learning as you go!!!🥰

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ My favorite kind of learning!

[@maryann2692]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU FOR THE TIP ON FOLDING SO MUCH FASTER

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome!☀️

[@mamielantto671]

That is such a great idea! The only thing I would do different is add batting and a backing and make it a quilt as you go quilt!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️Thanks!☀️

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

A couple of my GGsons love to sew with me. We did this and made pillows. They loved choosing the fancy stitches. Great idea to speed it up with pressing one side under. Thanks for sharing.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Oh how special! Hopefully that will be me one day! Mine are just a little small now :-)

[@juliatepe5760]

My grandboys have been asking to sew, that's a great idea.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

@@juliatepe5760 I started them with pieces of paper. I drew a curved spiral on one and on the other I drew straight lines to make a "square spiral" to the middle of the page. They got used to steering, pivoting and not pulling on the paper. They were proud of the papers and took them home to show them off. Then actual sewing was fairly easy for them. My machine has a speed control and they choose the speed they are comfortable with.

[@iknowwhoiamdoyou]

How beautiful! My mom made a queen-size quilt full of blocks like this using 1930's flour sack prints. My sister's favorite quilt. It's great to see how this is done

[@sunbeamfabricart]

SEW FUN! Thank you!

[@michelleswistak1389]

I enjoy using my decorative stitches. Have a scrap project using them, but I like to use them on my bindings.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

I do as well! They really elevate the quilt! 💙☀️💙

[@julieevans4736]

Looks lovely! Great idea with the folding instead of having to sew everything first. You've inspired me. Thanks.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome!! ☀️

[@connieking9873]

I never think to use all the many stitches I have on my machine. what a great way to finish off the blocks. Since I don’t like standing and ironing I would continue to stitch with seams. I really enjoyed this video

[@sunbeamfabricart]

I so happy you liked the video! Thanks!

[@barbaragrant9635]

That was a brilliant thought!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks! ☀️

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

That is a really good tip to press the pieces with the quarter-inch turn first!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ Thanks! ☀️

[@lyndaslocum7404]

Red is the heart of the home

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Indeed! I want to do a wonky log cabin with red or yellow to start it off. Thanks for watching!

[@susanrichtarcik5672]

Just beautiful

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks!! 💛

[@louisestaats234]

Thanks for showing the finished piece. It's beautiful!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you!

[@dannytucker4967]

Love the music!!!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

That tune is a good one! 💛

[@jucarafaissalpatchwork]

Beautifull !! Thanks for sharing. From Brasil. Rio de Janeiro.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you very much! ☀️

[@nanettejernigan7338]

Brilliant! Adding the brown piece and top stitching at the same time. I tried to copy a prior video, starting with the 5 sided piece to start, but got lost in the shuffle. I really like what you have done here and will give it a shot, THANK YOU!

[@nanettejernigan7338]

Did you wash the muslin prior?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

I was rather impressed with myself at that point! HAHA. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Oh great question! No I didn't but you could if needed.

[@hettiebotha8901]

Thank you my dear!! I love this idea with the different stithes. It looks good...blessings from South Africa...🤗😀🇿🇦

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome! ☀️

[@ConnieAcree]

Beautiful!!! I love the idea of using different decorative stitches. Folding one edge under and stitching is an added bonus. Thank you very much for sharing. God bless.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome! 💛💛💛

[@carlasanchez6697]

I absolutely love this.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

I'm glad to hear that! ☀️

[@agnieszkaacka6733]

I love crazy quilts❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Me too! ☀️☀️☀️

[@VintageStylebyJo]

Love this! Saving a step is awesome. Looks so pretty with the decorative stitches!!!❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

It's so pretty! I once tried doing this with a paper foundation. THAT was a nightmare! Tweezers for days. So for decorative stitches, I now use fabric or interfacing foundation. I do like the back of this block with the grey thread on the white fabric, and thought that would be a beautiful block as is! Thanks for watching!

[@VintageStylebyJo]

OMG☹️ We use Pellon lightweight fabric interfacing. This gives just enough strength without to much thickness. I personally can’t use paper, I can’t sit and pick off the paper 😖.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

@@VintageStylebyJo Very cool! For the block I am planning, white/gray thread, I will do that.

[@VintageStylebyJo]

I meant apparel interfacing…lol😉

[@daniellelaplace6455]

What an amazing teacher you are !!!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you! ❤️☀️

[@norzalehakamaludin9683]

Love your idea using fancy machine stitches for this quilt. Thank You for sharing this idea ❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome!

[@loraineoliver6310]

I like the idea of the decorative stitches,very very nice.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you so much ☀️

[@aprilbaxter2578]

Very nice!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you! Cheers! ☀️

[@patriciaguevara8793]

Love this! I’ve been wanting to make a special throw pillow cover for my quilting friend - this will be great for her! Thank you 😊

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Wonderful!

[@tributetomama]

Love it.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ Thanks!

[@reginelascourreges8958]

Bonjour. Super idée les points de broderie de notre machine pour faire directement les assemblages… j’aime beaucoup et je pense que je reproduirais cet exercice. Merci de nous offrir vos talents. Régine🇫🇷

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Merci Régine ! J'étais très heureux de penser à accélérer le processus ! Merci d'avoir regardé!

[@dianegoodwin9784]

Hi thankyou for sharing your video, looks great ❤love the background music 🎵🎶❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks for visiting! ☀️

[@dianajones8837]

Thank you - this is by far the best crazy quilt tutorial I have seen. Some tutorials make crazy blocks seem quite complicated but yours inspires me to have a go. Tnanks again. Diana (UK) xx

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Wow, thank you!🙏

[@lyndacarlson-yy2if]

Wonderful way of quilting, maybe use a darker or contrasting thread , making it stand out as a predominant feature

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you! ☀️☀️☀️

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

If you had added batting between your foundation and piecing, you would have quilted your quilt at the same time. Your block is beautiful. Are you making a Summer Quilt (no batting)?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

That would definitely work! The muslin I used was too thin, so would not make a good backing. What I really thought was pretty was the way the decorative stitching looked on the plain white fabric (gray on white). I may do another project with this as the end plan. Thanks for watching!

[@ellenhofer3343]

​@@sunbeamfabricart Muslin is made in seversl thicknesses. Maybe try one that us thicker

[@Lily235]

Crazy quilts do not have batting.

[@jodeesmith1685]

​@@Lily235that depends if the maker wants batten or not. I did 80/20. But mine was for using in winter, in the mountains.

[@aliceolivares-chawk8307]

How do you quilt these blocks if you already have the beautiful stitches on the front?

[@marionbartley214]

I really enjoyed this video today. I especially enjoy watching you turn under your fabric 1/4" then top stitch with a decorative stitch. Makes it so much easier than sewing and flipping. I'm going to give this a try on my quilt blocks that im working on. But add batting and backing to it. Kind of like a quilt as you go, Thank you for the video.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome! ☀️

[@lucilaflores4912]

Love it! Good way to try all the decorative stitches. Thank you for sharing.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome!

[@MagnoliaRose1946]

Thank you for a brilliant tip ! This will be a good idea for quilt as you go !!!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks! 💛

[@barbarahaupt6950]

Love it! Something a little different. I do have an inexpensive machine which does have decorative stitches. Thank you!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome! ☀️

[@pamelaaverill6001]

Thank you for your wonderful video. You make it so relaxing and easy. You are giving me the confidence I need to make a beautiful quilt. So often I see so many rules and measurements. I become anxious and don’t enjoy the process. Now I can relax and enjoy making a beautiful quilt.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Oh I really appreciate hearing that!! You can do it! 💕☀️

[@cheryldavis8776]

With all of those long strips side by side it's starting to look like a "Log Cabin" block!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Almost! Thanks for tuning in!

[@debibowman9173]

I love scrappy quilts

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Oh me too! Thanks!

[@yukey2587]

You braniac! Folding that brown bird fabric then just top atiching. BRAINS!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Aww thank you! ☀️

[@patriciadavidson3328]

Love it! Can’t wait to try this!!!❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

I love crazy quilt blocks ! That is what got me into quilting in the first place! ☀️

[@dr.sridevisriniwass3864]

Really love your style. Simple and beautiful. Greetings from Malaysia.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you so much!

[@melisahorsley2061]

This is great and I love your instruction technique. Thank you!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

You are so welcome! ☀️

[@villagesteader3552]

That was fun! I’ve gotten some great ideas from this video. Thank you ♥️👍🤓

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CoLabOr8r]

I really like this block, it looks so pretty. Folding the strip edge to save a step is genius. Would this work for a quilt as you go block? The stitches on the muslin backing look so nice!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

This would definitely work for Quilt As You Go! Thank you!

[@nathalieh5455]

Merci pour le partage, c'est très beau, je vais essayer cette technique.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Vous êtes les bienvenus! Je suis heureux d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié et que vous souhaitez essayer cela !☀️

[@dianewilliams5271]

Looks good!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thanks! ☀️

[@images7utube]

How creative & clever! If you made a quilt using blocks like this, how would you quilt it? Thanks so very much... I appreciate your videos! ❤

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Aww Thank you! I love it. I made a crazy quilt similar to this for my daughter and just did loop-dee-loop kind of free motion quilting over the whole thing.

[@images7utube]

Thank you!

[@Lily235]

This is great. Even better would be if you started your video again after your brilliant realization. I love how you don’t bother with pins. How do you keep it from bunching without a walking foot?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💕 I use pins and clips as needed! And a walking foot sometimes! ☀️

[@Dranma51]

I’m going to use this idea on a quilt top that I inherited! My grandmother pieced the top by hand from scraps of fabric that my mom gave her after sewing clothes for us. But she was practically blind at the time and her hand stitches weren’t very strong. I’ve always known I was going to stitch the top to a foundation piece and the decorative stitches will hold it to the foundation fabric. Thank you!

[@sunbeamfabricart]

That's great!

[@winningnumbers]

no batting between the fabric and muslin?? (Thank you in advance for a reply)

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Hello! ☀️. If the muslin was going to be the quilt backing, I might. In this case it was just a thin foundation, so there will be batting and backing added when it becomes part of a quilt. 👍🏼

[@winningnumbers]

Thank you, I was wondering if you were going to leave it like that.

[@zorysorpresas]

Muy relajante

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Gracias! ☀️

[@marywest2896]

since you have those wonderful stitches your machine can do. I would want them to show up so I would have used a deep gold almost orange color to pop the stitches....looked so easy, I always wanted a crazy quilt...the ones of my youth would have buttons, usually from a wedding dress or outfit that meant something, pearls from a broken necklace, lace, even a pink topped diaper pin...my grandma told me a crazy quilt was one that held memories and scraps that were not big enough or plenty of yardage to do a patterned quilt...even men's ties and suit materials were included. today my grandma would use tech. to transfer photos to cloth and put them in the middle of the quilt then things from their youth, an example a married couple , things from their dating life, wedding shower, all the events meaningful to them be in the quilt..... wouldn't that make a wonderful wedding gift?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ Hello! ☀️ The very first quilt I made was a crazy quilt out of my daughter and my old clothes and things! It was a gift for her and she still has it. Here's a video link with some more visible decorative stitching: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammscmeVjtd_Z8k Speaking of wedding dresses, I picked up a thrift store wedding dress for $24.99 a few months back and probably will have a video out on that in the next few months. I am planning a white and gray quilt with BLACK decorative stitching! :-) The dress has all it's lovely adornments of buttons and lace which I plan to incorporate too. But, like I said that is a few months down the road. Definitely 2023 though! Thanks for watching!☀️

[@salmarsalmar]

this is really lovely! so i am a beginner at scrap quilting, can i ask, if you were joining these to make a bigger quilt, would you add batting as well? just wondered how heavy it would become if you have front/muslin/batting/back.....hope you don't mind me asking..thank you

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Hello! Scraps are so fun! For a quilt I would use batting. For a planned quilt I might choose no foundation at all, and just trim the blocks down, or I would use a paper foundation instead of muslin. The paper would be torn off later. Check out this crazy quilt I made using a paper foundation. If you are doing decorative stitching use NO foundation or a muslin foundation.

[@kimbeckner9240]

This looks terrific for fast crazy! Great tutorial! I keep forgetting that it’s better to start with muslin but in this case, I think you could have used an embroidery stabilizer instead, which would be cheaper in the long run, and help stabilize the machine embroidery stitches. And you trimmed so much off :( I hope you use those trimming somewhere else 😜

[@sunbeamfabricart]

The stabilizer would be perfect!! And yup, I do make good use of my scraps! ☀️☀️☀️

[@ОльгаДвоеглазова-ъ2т]

Замечательно.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you!!!

[@sandrinou1329]

I don't sew crazy patch directly on fabric piece or on fleece. I am afraid to make a mistake so I sew crazy patch each other, and then I sew fleece. It's not regular when we sew pieces.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

That’s great!!! 💛

[@KATZ-y9q]

What machine do you have with those fancy stitches?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ It’s a Singer Modern Quilter machine. ☀️

[@moonhunter9993]

Why five-sided specifically? Does it make a difference?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Great question! Three sided could work. Four sided would make it more like a log cabin block. And really anything bigger than five sided would get a little bit complicated. Five sided seems to be the sweet spot for crazy quilt blocks. 🧵☀️👍🏼

[@lindsmiddleton2463]

Can I see how to make disappearing four patch

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ Hello! I would do a google search to see how to make that! Thanks so much for your comment! ☀️

Из таких красивых тканей просто крейзи? Я ожидала что-то более сложное.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Thank you. ☀

[@ellenhofer3343]

I read somewhere that the center piece shouldn't be in the center. I can't remember why, but it said yo off-center the starting piece.

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Interesting! ☀

[@debbiegodfrey2359]

Is it necessary to have the backing?

[@sunbeamfabricart]

Great question. You could definitely stitch up a block without a backing. I prefer a stabilizer for doing decorative stitches for sure, as the stitches will come out wonky without it. For blocks with no decorative stitching, I like using a newsprint backing just to keep track of the size I'm trying to finish at. The way that works for you is the best way! ☀️

[@ЛюдмилаФеденкова-ч4о]

Может вы все-таки начнёте шить

[@sunbeamfabricart]

☀️ Thanks for watching. ☀️

[@diannenaworensky6698]

That looks more like "flour sack material" rather than muslin
