Great video...never thought of magazine paper...and I have a ton of old mags. I will die under an avalanche of scraps if I don't get going and this fits the bill. My son says I am the oldest hippie he knows. Also a retired art teacher, so this is greatly satisfying in all areas. Thanks for sharing.

My grandmother did this for what she called "crazy quilts." She used muslin fabric instead of paper or using a stabilizer. I have a box of completed squares, so I will be looking to see what I can make with them (as I already have a quilt from her).😊

I want to thank you for sharing this. I've sewed for over 46 yrs n never seen this. I'm having so much fun with this . I'm making a quilt n doing some blocks like this. Thanks for sharing❤

Ohmygouda !!!...I spent the afternoon playing with your instructions...what fun...some of the smaller pieces I cut away will make a great middle, and it didn't bother me to toss some of the cuttings. Heavy sigh of relief...this is gonna make a heckofa piece of fabric....

I have a friend who gave me a great tip by using dryer sheets as the backing and stabilizer. I made a beautiful library bag using it and the bag smells great!

Thank you Jan ! I always wanted to make a crazy quilt and couldn’t wrap my head around it . Doing the smaller blocks would definitely make it easier. Thank you again. 😊

If you'll start with the center piece having 5 sides, (cut one corner off to make 5 sides), it will give you a different angle of your scrappy blocks. I use the paper phonebooks that still come to my house. It's super thin. I've also done this without a paper or with an old sheet or ugly fabric. Sometimes the reverse side of fabrics will add to your fabric scrap choices. You can also use black and make stained glass look. I just found your channel, woohoo. Being able to subscribe is an honor and a blessing. Having comments for others tips is priceless. Thanks... Babs near Tombstone, AZ

Oh my, I was expecting this to become a big quilt and my mind was racing about how to balance the colors and prints. Now my mind is bursting with small projects to make, and even using this idea as a decorative element on linens, clothing, etc. Great, thank you!

I’ve been doing this for the past week. Mindless sewing and I love it! I’ve made a notebook cover and have two more on in the process of being made. I’d love to try the zippered pouch next and thought about pot holders and oversized casserole hot pads. I’m getting a great start on birthday gifts for friends. I’d love some more ides for things to make.

Love this! I love sewing, but sometimes I don't have the brain capacity for a big project or I'm in a project rut. These scrappys are addicting and fun!!! I have a giant (12x24") bag of scraps, so I can make lots of scrappy squares for a future project. 😍

Love the way you use paper but I use squares of material the same way. Usually an old sheet cut up to the size needed I have used a thin batting as well..love the way these quilts look when the squares are all joined together Way to go 😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺. Happy quilting

Love this. I dont use backing or paper. I just sew one big piece. Then cut it down as i need. Then use backing later.

It's amazing how a few pieces of scraps can make something so nice, I made some ovengloves and was quite impressed with myself 😂 ❤

I personally hate removing the paper, so I prefer using fabric instead of paper ( muslin is good) or scrapping directly on a thin piece of batting. Just my preference. I love watching this process and always pick up a tip or two. Thanks!

I've used dryer sheets and mad a beautiful quilt for my grandson.

Suggest you make your stitch length a bit shorter, it makes tearing paper off much easier. Thanks Jan. This will be a great way to teach my 9 year old granddaughter how to use machine using my scraps. 🎉

Really pretty. I love “scrappy”. I especially love the different angles in the block. Thank you for the tips

Thank you so much Jan, I really really enjoyed watching you create those fabric scrap squares that we can use for lots of different projects. I think they’re really cute and adorable too and I can see how addictive they will be once I start working with them. Your tutorials are very helpful and so useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you! I’ve decided to make a quilt or table topper from shirt scraps from deceased family members 😢😊

Surely learned something new to add to my scrap work knowledge. Thanks 🙏

I have a crazy quilt on my wall full of scrap fabrics. This is nice!

So glad I watched this video!! Thank you!!! My dad passed away 4 years ago and I made memory pillows from 9 of his button down shirts. I kept every piece of scraps from his shirts. I am going to make a cell phone bag for his 95 year old sister so she always has her phone and still has a bit of memory of her brother. Thanks again!!!!!!❤

I do this without using paper foundation but it’s a great idea!

I love your cookie jar for holding scraps. They are goodies!

Thank you for this! I've been quilting for a year, diligently saving all my scraps but had no idea how to piece them together without going mad... I've been wanting to make "remembrance" panels using the scraps from quilts I made as gifts, then can make a super scrappy quilt for myself with them.

Good idea using stabilizer when making scrappy fabric. Thanks, Jan

I love watching your videos. I’m watching while I fold laundry. You have such a nice, relaxed manner and your projects are great!

A wonderful video. Your demonstration was so helpful and your calm, reassuring American accent helps me understand perfectly. Thank you so much from Catherine in France

Thank you for your video. My daughter in law ask for a quilt using her dog’s scarfs, so I checked KZfaq and discovered your tutorial. It’s fun and quite addictive. Can’t wait to see the end product!

Great tutorial, thanks Jan 😊

Thank you I looked at another video to see what you did about the paper very interesting

You had me at 'hippie' and 'artist.' I am looking forward to all your videos.

Wow ... " old magazine " ! I've been use printer paper & adding machine 3" paper. Thanks for the tip !

Thank you! I am going to try this! I love the idea of using a magazine for the paper! Thank you! I love your teaching style! ❤️

This is fun. I have used newsprint paper, it tears away easily, its very inexpensive. I don't buy many magazines lately, too expensive. This gave me ideas. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊 Liz in Northern California 🦓

Love your videos, you are a inspiration, and a super teacher! Great to watch even if you know how to to do all the techniques. So, I think you have great taste. A fan for sure.

Thank you for the magazine paper trick. I am just getting into the scappy look. I love it! Love your videos.❤

I so enjoyed this tutorial, thank you. Very nice block. I love it.

Very clever use of scraps. It’s like paper piecing only without a pattern!🙂

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.💖

I absolutely love this video. Thanks so much for showing us how to use up our scraps in such an innovative and beautiful way. I have an idea to make a top using this newly created fabric. Can’t wait to get started!

I have used this process on yoke on my daughters dresses and fronts of a-line skirts for me. Sew Much Fun!! 😊

Watching for the first time. I really like this tutorial to use up scraps of fabric.Hope to try this but think I am going to watch it again….and again!

Loved watching all those scraps turn into something lovely. Thank you for sharing.❤

I did find your presentation very helpful. I tried to do this without your instruction and it turned into a mess very quickly. Thank you!

The results speak for themselves.

Jan this is a great video so informative. You made it so easy. Thanks for your wonderful guidance. ❤❤❤❤

I like watching how u can make alot of things out of your scraps of material thank u by the way I just started sewing again

This looks like so much fun! I really like that the panels can be made in small blocks of time, not to mention that clearing out some scraps will help declutter my sewing space. Off to find some old magazines!! 😊

SO CLEVER!!!! YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO TRY THAT WITH MY SCRAPS!!!

With my small pieces of scraps I made pot holders, coasters, and pin cushions. I sewed on old jeans that I cut into squares

Love scrappy quilting. Plan to add to a canvas bag.

This will be useful. You do great crafts and are very easy to listen to👍

Thank you for sharing this! I'm a beginner. I like easy and cute projects to practice.

Thank you for sharing this with me today ❤😊 I'm a beginner ànd I'm interested in this one.

Thanx for the lovely idea to use scrap cloth to get beautiful outcome!!

Fabulous tutorial. So clear and detailed. Have made crumb blocks using strips of scraps joined together but this looks so interesting and will use up more of my scrap stash. Thank you. 🎉

Great tutorial, Jan. Look forward to inventive projects for this delightful fabric.

Thank you very much! This helps me to figure out how to piece together fabric for a crazy quilt purse!

I've done this kind of scrap sewing before but used muslin for a backing. I like the idea of using paper. It makes for less bulk in the quilt.

This was so much fun to watch. I think I will work on a scrappy project tomorrow. Your colors went so well together. Thank you!

I think I would sew directly onto the stabiliser fabric, but I do like this way of building a square.

I really enjoyed that scrappy tutorial thank you,

Beautiful! THanks for sharing. I have lots of scraps and will be using them in this way.

I love this ideal, great job!❤

I love scrappy quilts❤

Wow, I am new to patchwork and playing with fabrics, this video has given me a whole set of new ideas. I have subscribed, I don’t often do so!

Never seen this before. I'm going to try this. You did a great job. And I love all the colors. Thanks so much for sharing. Love it❤

Really enjoyed watching and learning new ideas.

Great idea using up old magazines and nice clear voice Thanks for sharing 👍 😀

Thank you! Great tips from all!

I love your idea! I saw a lady using used dryer sheets to do this….think I will try.

I have made so many of these scrappy pieces over the years, but not normally by paper piecing. I usually use either muslin or an old sheet for the backing. Even after all those pieces, I *still* have four boxes of scraps. Guess I need to get back in there and make a few more scrappy projects.

Thank you Jan! What a great project idea to add to my list. Love it!

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful sewing project I really enjoyed watching it and going to start as a beginner to enjoy my free time with this valuable piece of art it’s amazing and love it

Thank you soooo much, such a wonderful idea!!!

I loved the video. Thank you so much for explaining with such love and passion. I know now what to do with my scraps. Whoop whoop

Děkuji za ukázku, jste moc šikovná.

Thank you Jan! Great idea. Scrappy squares, I'm on it! Glenn's Mrs. Sue🌻

Your squares are very pretty.

Tks so much jan for sharing your quilt ideas. Can't wait to sart on them.

This a wonderful tutorial thank you ❤

I am so happy I found you! I love this technique, thank you and looking forward to watching your content🤩☺️❤️

Best scrappy video ever

Thank you lovely video, great way to use scrap fabrics ❤❤

Great ideas, looking forward to the heart cutout tutorial

If we/you know someone who still has a few old Yellow Pages/White Pages phone books, those would be great, too: very thin paper!

Thank you. I really enjoyed watching your video. Gave me a lot of ideas to do with my scrap material.

Wow, just so beautiful,easy to follow aperfect project. Thank you fir sharing with us. Gave me a lot of confidence to make a tote bag.❤

Jan, I always enjoy your videos!!! Keep on keeping on and Thank You 🥰❤️😀

Really greate creation idea thank you 🙏🏻

I also like to use a smaller stitch link when using paper as it perforates the paper. But better yet I use inexpensive muslin, batting scraps or ugly fabric. Thanks for your video.

I LOVED this tutorial! Learned a lot! Thank you! 😊

Very cool. Can’t wait to make some.

Hey thanks for a new way to use scraps! Fun! But not the peeling paper off the back. I tried.. tissue paper... stabilizing paper, copy paper, parchment, EVEN PAPER TOWELS (which, BTW worked best of all the aforementioned...) -- But what worked best??? Nothing. Just joining shapes. Perfect... What fun to learn some new techniques!

This is a wonderful idea! Thank you so much for sharing!❤

Love your videos Jan. You always have practical advice and clear explanations. I sewed your quilted scrappy pouch. and it turned out so cute.

WOW I Love Scrappy Fabric Video. Can't wait to do one for my Sock Monkey Pants!

Another great little project. Thank you again!

Wonderful tutorial and, as always, so very well explained. I think I am going to make some Cushion covers with this technique.
