🎉 Crazy Quilt Patchwork Tutorial with ARNE & CARLOS | Using Vintage & New Fabrics 🎉

Hi everyone! 😊

Today, we’re diving into one of our favorite projects: the crazy quilt! It’s been a while since we did one, and we know you’re going to love this fresh take, especially since we’ll be incorporating some of our new fabric designs for Lewis & Irene. 🧵🎨

In this video, we’ll take you through the process of blending vintage fabrics (some dating back to the 1980s!) with our newest designs to create a one-of-a-kind crazy quilt. Get ready to see how we transform an old duvet cover into a beautiful backing, and watch us match colors and patterns for that perfect “old look” vibe. 🎨✨

Arne will be on the sewing machine, while Carlos plays the role of master ironer! 💪😉

👉 What you’ll learn in this video:

How to choose and match fabrics for a crazy quilt
Incorporating vintage and new fabrics into a cohesive design
Tips for sewing and ironing small, intricate pieces
Creative ways to reuse old fabric and create something new!

💡 Tip: Don’t worry if you don’t have everything perfectly planned out—this project is all about “winging it” and letting the fabric pieces come together naturally!

I think you two collaborate brilliantly, I could watch for hours. I have never been that interested in crazy quilting, but I think you are changing my mind!

[veernnyr]

You two are funny. I can't imagine two people agreeing on which fabric to use when I, alone, can't decide. I'm enjoying your process.

[laurakirk]

Love your teamwork. You two are such a great example to the rest of us, so respectful of each other!

[amyking]

Found it, y’all are so funny together. I enjoy you both so much. ❤❤❤❤

[susanteminsky]

So fun to see you working so well collaboratively! Haha, room for a pony! We all need more rooms for our making! Thank you for showing that even you struggle with bobbin thread and threading the needle with less youthful eyesight!

[donalmashoust]

I love the way you get along so well with each other.

[brenda]

Brilliant square, love the colors! I really enjoy these crazy quilt series...Thank you so much!!!

[brendaromick]

You're doing a great job! To make your older blocks blend with the new ones add one of the newer fabrics to each of the four blocks. The added thickness will be of no consequence.

[dianepiatt]

Love how your new block works with the old blocks! Lovely indeed! ❤️

[MaryaPawl]

Very educational for those of us who haven’t crazy quilted before. And color choices, helpful there, too. Always fun to see it come together-Mary

You guys are so awesome! So grateful to find your channel. Thank you Kate from Last Homely House! 🥰

Oh Arne and Carlos😂 I too am soooo good at starting projects, finishing them is a whole different matter.
You both have inspired me to finish two little dress WIP’s I have that just need me to add a bow. You both have made me so thrilled to also start a new project, crazy quilting.

[nancywagner]

That turned out so pretty! Had no idea where you were going to end up with that, but I guess that’s the point!

[marciasullivan]

So much cooperation between you two. A great team. Love your new fabrics and the quilt.❤❤❤

[svs]

Love your crazy quilt blocks. You two work great together. ❤

[andreacaulkins]

It's wonderful to watch the two of you working together! Love the quilt square you have made in this episode. I am reminded that creating can be experimental, relaxed and playful. Thank you!

[kathhendry]

The most beautiful and fun crazy quilt blocks I think I have ever seen! I had to keep stopping my fabric sorting task to check on our hosts, Arne and Carlos (as always).😃❤

[miekeharinck]

a little tip about threading a needle (that works for me) ; put a little piece of light-coloured paper behind the hole, so you can see the hole much better. I hope it can help Arne.

[christinamcvaugh]

Man!😂 I wish I had someone sitting beside me ironing every thing!

[jackiemueller]

I’m sewing my scrappy quilt by hand while listening to you two matching fabric. I just grab and go. So many ways to do things. All will be useful and pretty.
