i use old store receipts for paper backing. much thinner and easier to remove after sewing. no extra cost either1

I believe if you paid for, or received gifted fabric it’s not meant for the trash! Even the stringiest of strings can be used in filling a project. The crumbiest of crumbs can be collaged into a frame. Good quality cotton is too costly to throw out!

For background dilemma, use white low volume scrappy fabric. I've got about 4 different ones in one quilt. Unless you really look, you can't tell the difference. All you see is the "movement".

That is what I always do, use multiple fabrics for background. It always looks good.

When my friend retired, he gifted me all his "work shirts". These were long-sleeved dress shirts in pastels and mostly white 100% cotton. He was going to live in t-shirts and cargo pants forever more. I used them all as background alternate blocks with my scrappy crumbs. Even as alternate columns for a Chinese coin pillow, the difference is not readily evident. Figuring out how to use up the cuffs and collars was fun too. Small bits of coffee prints and a beige pillow case combined with all those shades of white made for muted blocks. 🍄🍄

I LOVE CRUMBS!!!

If I'm doing a quilt, you can just quilt your scraps right on your batting. Then just add your backing and binding. 😊

I love crumb piecing, so relaxing, thank you for a new idea to use crumbs, good luck on the king size. I'm working on a king size with 5x10 rectangles, making a shadow quilt. I wish us both luck

I use water soluble interfacing for both crumb quilts and string quilts. There's no need to tear anything away and it's fairly inexpensive as I wait for the sales. It's also much easier to sew with than paper.

@@YvonneCole-ok2rc I don't know what other people use but I use gypsy quilter scrap tape. Hope others will reply what works for them too.

I have a ton of scraps from EPP that I sewed to adding machine tape. Then I didn’t have a clue what to do with it. I don’t like all scraps (it’s Tula pink so looks like rainbow barf) but nothing else excited me. I think I’m going to try this, but maybe use some of the solid jelly roll strips I have laying around…. Great video!

I love this. Haven't done any tiny pieces yet but want to try this.

Another awesome video. I’ve tried this before using adding machine tape, but never really finished any project with the crumb strips. I like the idea of using neutral fabric in between the strips. I think the reason why yours look so fabulous is because your choice of colors is excellent. Because they are from a collection, it looks way better than mine would.

Personally, I LOVE scrappy crumb quilts that are a jumble of everything and anything; but every time I tried to make one, my brain couldn't agree. I tended to over think and analyze my selections. Once I started keeping scraps in collections everything started clicking and became inspiring! Lol (but if someone else threw everything in, I'd LOVE IT! Lol)

My adding machine tape crumb strips are about a yard long each. I create fabric by sewing the long sides together. About six strips. Then I remove the paper. After cutting out the pattern, I back each piece with interfacing. So far, I've made masks, bucket hats, pin cushions, pencil pouches, coasters, narrow table runner, pockets (for aprons) and toss pillows. No two things ever look alike.... Lol

Keep on going! I am eager to see the complete king size quilt. 🙌🏼

I make mine on paper tape for an adding machine. It’s about 2-3” wide, and you can sew a long strip of crumbs. No cutting large paper down to size, easy peasy.

I'm making a quilt like this. It's fun to make.

Excellent! I am late to this video but I already got the pattern before I even started watching. Edited to add that I conveniently have a large pack of 8 1/2 by 11 newspaper weight paper that I bought from Amazon. Currently this paper is being used for my rainbow string quilt, which is a work in progress.

Another great video…. I think I hear my crumbs calling me ❤

This is a great way to use up scraps.The pattern is easy also.Thank You for the video.

This is so awesome! I have tons of crumbs and now I know what to do with them.

I made a small cut next to each side of the seams. This helped me start the paper removal process.

Love your videos and your presentation. Do pleasant to listen to. I finally made my first string blocks using scraps. Omg it’s addicting. I did make as many as I could and then placed them all in a bin like yours and I’ll keep adding to it. Now excited to use this method for all those crazy pieces. I have seen where someone used adding machine tape but don’t think it would be the correct width for this pattern. Thank you sharing a your amazing talent with us all!

Just cut your background strips the same width as the tape. Or have any width background strip to get your blocks the size you want.

Brilliant! I've always loved scrap/crumb quilts, but it's so good to see them used in a little more organized way.

Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!

My aunt would use the rolls that are used for receipts, it separates from the stitches easily

That's the seam roller I have (and the one I recommend). It's way better than any of the wooden ones on the market because it's a bit heavier, so it flattens the seams more easily.

While you're piecing the iron can warp the paper causing it to distort. Thats why I iron at the end. ☺️
