hello and welcome to my channel in this video I'm going to show you how to do a
crazy quilt block and this is great for them scraps perfect scrap buster tutorial
I upload videos every single Wednesday and generally they're about how to use
your sewing machine or simple sewing tips and tricks so let's be honest here
my fabric scrap piles are completely out of control so here's some of the scraps
that I've pulled in order to start making a block you're going to have to go
through and just iron them all just to make sure they're nice and flat so these
are all my pieces all pressed the only thing to bear in mind is that you are
going to need some straight edges but try and avoid trying to make it perfect
the point is it supposed to be scrappy even though this quilt is scrappy please
bear in mind the colors that you're using and try and use complementary
colors if you're using the baby lock soprano like I am and you want to use
this decorative stitch it's stitch number 46 you're going to select your
first two pieces of fabric so I've got this teal one and I'm going to match up
with this like orange one I'm going to put them right sides together and you're
gonna fold it back like this now it's up to you you can go to the iron you can
press this down or you can hold it or you can pin it now I'm over to the
sewing machine with these two pieces of fabric and it's basically going to be
like a zig-zag stitch so I'm now going to piece these two together with a
zig-zag stitch
this is what my first set looks like I'm just going to slice the bottom of this
and I'm going to continue piecing so I'm going to get my next piece of scrap
fabric and I'm gonna put it right sides together and then just flip that back
and do the same thing now I don't have any stabilizer under here because you
basically don't need that you've got like three layers of fabric under here
so you continue piecing these things together but you have to bear in mind you
do need straight lines so wherever you need a straight line just go ahead and
cut and there you go that becomes your next section so I'm going to grab this
orange piece and I'm going to put it right sides together and then flip this
back and continue on now I'm going to cut this straight along here and just
remember guys this is just random it doesn't have to be perfect just keep
going at it so here we go again we're going to do right sides together
and we're going to flip it back and we are going to sew that down
so guys I think you understand what I'm doing here so you would continue on
until you get the final block size of the quilt that you're making so this is
going to be my first block and I'm going to cut it into a six inch square this is
what my scrappy block looks like one thing that I like to do is just use
contrasting colors I think it looks a lot more uniform well I hope you found
