Crafting With Tiny Scraps: Micro Scrappy Quilt Project

Publicado 2024-07-25
What do you do with those super tiny scraps? Make projects, of course! I used the trimmings from layer cakes to make these projects--those teeny tiny micro scraps! Let's make a scrappy project using super small fabric scraps in this scrappy quilting tutorial!

Here are the layer cakes used to make these scraps:
Table Topper/Wall Hanging: Vintage Soul by Cathe Holden for Moda
Pillow: Midnight in the Garden by Sweetfire Road for Moda

Here's the blog for this! www.sewthedistance.com/blog/working-with-micro-scr…

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one that does this! My family thinks that I am crazy, but little pieces and stings make my heart sing. Thanks for the video!
  • You converted me! I was totally skeptical when the video began and I actually said out loud to throw those scraps away. I’ll definitely be trying this now!
  • @chrisgrain2204
    I so loved all the things you made. I'm going to do the same. I especially loved the pillow, it goes so well with quilt. It really adds to it. I especially love how thrilled and happy you are with what you came up with ❤. Just like our precious Creator. He makes something so lovely out of what others discard... and He too is just as pleased and joyful. How lovely to discover the Father's heart.

    Love it that I’m not the only one who saves scraps and sees possibilities. Thank you for this video. ❤

    Wow! A fun new project I have not ever heard of! I have heard of string and crumb piecing. I have never heard someone save and use those tiny shaved strips! And how fun and beautiful! Well done! Great new idea!
  • @michele6708
    Great way to recycle those scraps into pretty things!
  • I love this idea Kris. Your table topper and pillow look lovely. It looks great fun. There are times when I want to be at my machine but I don't want a challenge. Just sit and sew. This would be a perfect thing to do. Like doodling while your talking on the phone, this would be a fun thing to do at sewing guild days while chatting with my friends.

    Your enthusiasm is so infectious! I have a box of flannel scaps left from a Duckworth quilt I made from a friend's flannel shirts (he passed away) and I will make a pillow or two to go with it! Thanks for the inspiration!
  • @pgiberti1407
    This is great! Now, I will get sewing and trimming and stock up on my scrap stash again!
  • @maryjostahl6130
    How much fun is this?????? Thanks Chris. Really enjoyed this.
  • @karenm7260
    Wow! First time seeing such narrow scraps used where the end result is so colorful and attractive. Thank you. I’ll have to give this a try.
  • Wow, they came out great. I donate my scraps. I have 2 scrap projects I started 2 years ago that I hope to get back to one day. Right now too many quilts on my brain.
  • What a good idea to use up the smallest scrap. It realy looks fantastic and colorful.
  • At first I thought your crazy to work with those little pieces. But WOW!! they were beautiful! I really like both. You left me thinking maybe, I will try it and I don't like working with little pieces.
  • @kbsorrells
    When I use my micro scraps I put a water soluble stabilizer over the top before I quilt it. Getting creative with the tiny pieces is so much fun.
  • Awesome video! I have a bag of scraps like that too! I love that you were honest about the mug rug/coaster so that we can keep those issues in mind if we plan to make these!
  • @janbfred
    I’m so happy to see this! I do the same thing! I put thin string strips in a glass bottle for a decorative piece in my sewing room! I may have to empty my bottle and go for it!
