My videos are a bit mixed up this week. If you watched my livestream you know we just got a new puppy so my life is topsy turvy. I hope you enjoy these fast and easy ways to use up those left over strips at the end of your quilt project. They can even be combined together. Have a great week.

When I first moved to the Island I joined the Parksville Quilt Guild and vividly remember a Trunk show of a Member’s Scrappy quilts. They were simply stunning! But how to make one myself was beyond me. 20 years and dozens of baby quilts later I had a huge tub of left over flannel. So I simply started sewing and learned a lesson carved in stone! Leftovers organically reproduce in the quiet of the night! As fast as I did a scrappy quilt the pile never seemed to reduce in size. The quilts gradually improved as I concentrated on Value rather than colour and I also revised my thinking these quilts were of reduced worth as they were “just leftovers”. The Scrappy quilt became my to go to quilt when there was a person in need of comfort and now I spend equal time on “new” quilts and those satisfying Scrappy ones. I’m eternally grateful for this video for more ways to use up the leftovers make stunning quilts. Keep the Tips, Tricks & Strategies coming!

Brilliant! So many easy-to-do blocks in only 8 minutes. Great tip to make some blocks when you're done with a quilt because it gives you a head start on making another quilt and the task of the "leftover strips" quilt seems less daunting. Btw, I love your graphics. The visual is so easy to follow and you don't take up a lot of time showing us the steps. The pace of your videos is great; some are too slow, but when you zip right through, it keeps my interest, and I can pause it when I need you to slow down so I can do what you're doing.

37 years ago I made my first quilt. I took my sisters to an alley where a garment factory used to throw away fabric scraps. The quilt was hideous, but I had a blast doing it. I enjoyed using the quilt for the longest time. I wish I could go back dumpster diving for scraps again.

I'm still working on this as I have almost finished my plans for quilts for family and friends back in 2015. Only have 9 tops left to bat and back. Arthritis has begun causing problems with being able to cut and sew, so, I may just make bigger sampler blocks ( 10") once the the quilts are done. These strip blocks are great! May God bless you and your family.

This is super! I took the clutter challenge and got my sewing room organized. And then a week or so ago I just spent a couple of days organizing my scraps and now I have two big piles of 2 1/2 inch strips. I am already to utilize this video and make some thing fun! The only thing that I have left to do in my sewing room is deal with the batting scraps. I am turning my 1- 1-1/2” strips into rope and saving my strings to bring on vacation to sew to interfacing and a roll of linen I have. I did buy the Robert Kaufman linen fabric and it is beautiful!! I hope to utilize my scrappy squares with that and make some placemats. Thanks for all of your useful ideas! And May the puppy bring you great joy this year!!😁

@@rachelburgener819 don’t know what happened to my reply but I’ll try again: I am making rope with the 1-1/2 inch-ish (giveor take) strips which I learned from the video below. It’s fun and I feel I’m doing something useful as I sit with my husband whether he is watching tv or we r sitting outside etc. there are probably other uses, but the video discusses trivets and placemats that you can make and they look really pretty and unusual and one of a kind LOL. Look up the KZbin video of lorrie nunemaker “how to make fabric twine /rope”. I don’t know how to attach it here from my phone :)
