How To Make "Strings Of Illusion" Free Verbal/Visual Scrap Quilt Pattern

Wanna make a stunning quilt out of your scrap fabric strings???
Well I have the Perfect Pattern for you!!!
This is a Free Verbal/Visual Pattern for your Scrap Strings.
Strings Of Illusion is a fun easy make that may take some time to piece, but has amazing results.
The strings look like they are floating.
I did make this for you all before in a Time-Lapse only video here:
• Time-Lapse Making A Sc...
You need 3 1/2 yards of a background + a bunch of strings.
Cut 9- 5" strips, sub-cut to 72- 5" squares.
Add strings to 2 sides back and forth (like a braid or half log cabin) till you get to 10.5".
Then lay out on point 6 across by 7 down.
You will be cutting 6- 16.5" cuts, sub-cut to 16.5" Squares. Cut on both diagonals for side set in triangles.
On point corners are 2- 8.5" squares cut on diagonal once.
Then more strings cut 5" for border with 4- 5" square cornerstones cut from remaining 8.5" piece. Then piece together the quilt as shown in video on point.
Trim quilt and add the 5" string piano key border with cornerstones. It's pretty simple.
Just takes a while to make this big for a size of 94"x106". Took me a total of 20 hours to make, spanning over 4 days.

That is the most organized scrap bin I’ve ever seen.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

😆 ya it's the OCD scrap bin 😆

[@Serene3574]

Don’t you see over her left shoulder. Boxes of specific sized scraps. I’m so intimidated.

[@kathieheath8716]

Finally, someone who does not try to hide the fact that we walk on our quilts during construction! Thanks for the video!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

😄 it's hard to avoid 😆

[@chriswilford3576]

Ha that’s until you’re too old and stiff to get up and down on the floor! I now have numerous card and trestle tables I have to put up and walk around to layout and measure my quilts! At 75 the hips and knees are not quite so obliging anymore ❤from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

[@judyblevins1322]

If you want an extra hand while you trim with a long ruler use a gallon jug or a half gallon jug. I keep two in my sewing room one for my iron and the other to keep my ruler steady. Try it. You might like it. Thanks for your tutorials. Love them.

[@ddean7869]

A-freaking-mazing! Da--Vinci has nothing on you. Pure art.

[@MylifeMyway7283]

Tiffany, this Music is so relaxing besides watching You create something different😍😍

[@ruthm4749]

This is the kind of quilting I like. Just plop, sew, lop, sew....and then find out the surprise at the end. Beautiful and fun.

[@gerryivkovich1857]

This is such a gorgeous quilt! I will definitely make this- probably a twin. Thanks and be blessed.

[@cindyg5064]

I think I just found my favorite you tube quilter!!!

[@LaurelRussellRanchGirl]

Yes we all walk on quilts in construction! None of have elephant trunks for arms lol. Nicely done.

[@dawnagoad9745]

And people wonder why hand made guilts are so expensive. That was not only a lot of work, but also a lot of knowledge. Very fun to watch. Thank you.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you 😊

[@papermeister]

Both are lovely! I'm a turquoise lover!

[@lauramarjoram2692]

I love the voice over when the microphone messed up lol 😂 Thanks for the awesome lesson 😁

[@sharonsienaski6919]

This video is the first I ever saw during insomnia. You are a great teacher. I didn’t know what the terminology was until this video. I need to not agonize over putting together scraps. I love your videos. Thank you.

[@ToriLynnH]

I love the scrappiness and not wasting leftovers.

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

This popped up on my feed and I cannot tell you how much I _really_ appreciate that you walked through the whole construction of the quilt! I find the instructions for quilts, the ones you get in a book etc, so uninspiring but *THIS* is my type of instruction! Totally subbed ❤

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you 😊

[@debcavan]

I laughed when I saw you bring out the bolt of focus fabric. I laughed because I also have bolts of the background fabrics I use often. I was binging on your quilts during the night. I have to go back to the star quilt. Last month I decided to put it on my list.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Gotta have lots of fabric on hand for random projects like this 😉

[@loisbarger7821]

The maroon is the one i like best but the green one is just a smigion or a tiny bit behind. I love both of them!!!!!! Thank you for the great instructions i will put one color on my to do list. They are beautiful!!!!!!!

[@conniejd8046]

You are my favorite instructor. I always get so much more out of your instructions. Because you are so honest with your hang-ups, it is easier for me to have confidence in myself. I believe you are making me a better quilter.❤

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Awe Thank you 😊

[@kathleenbarnett3881]

I am a beginner and have shopped around channels and you are the best. I leave every video thinking "I can actually do that!" You are a born teacher. Thank you for the lessons and the beautiful quilts you make.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

You are so welcome!

[@afran7855]

Yes! Beginner here too, I too agree! You are born to teach. ❤️

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you so much!

[@liletteautrey8481]

Really beautiful and effective , I would never visualise this final touch of your piano border. and I love the maroon version . Thank you for taking your time to show us in detail your creation.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Glad you like it!

[@user-oj2pf3yx4s]

Another mind blowing quilt you made. It is beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing

[@Ez2beholli]

You make the most gorgeous quilts honey, and it seems as though you’ve been quilting for decades! You are PURE AWESOMENESS! 🎉 I absolutely love your channel content! 🥰

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@lawannag2309]

I know this is a yr ago, but I love both quilts. I like how clear your instructions are

[@lanapayne593]

I love this quilt! Thanks for the clear, thorough instructions.

[@brendavirtue1881]

I love both of these quilts. Lots of work but so rewarding. I think I’m going to make a lap size.

[@michele.the.quilter6174]

This is a beautiful quilt! Thanks for giving us more scrappy ideas!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thanks 😊

speedy Gonzalez!!! the fastest quilter in America!

[@TheSiberianWind]

I needed this today. I'm exhausted and packing to move, and although I may not have a good sewing space for a while, it was refreshing to hear someone talk and describe everything, exactly the way I would. Your laughing at yourself and the broken mic had me giggling....I totally think and talk the same way!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Glad you enjoyed 😉 good luck with the move

[@trudyoakley3186]

I love that you sew in your pj's.. I do it all the time. So enjoyed your video and GIRL you are very organized !!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Yup, I think we sew better when we are comfortable 😉

[@Mysticalgeni]

Thank you I made the blocks for a quilt similar and enjoyed you outtingvthus to. i've been quilting all my life and I'm 71. You're the first person I have run across that makes entire quilt online so that we have absolutely no questions at all and we can go back and rewatch it to make our quilt instead of just hit and miss. So many people want you to subscribe subscribe. I have a quilting group Quilting Buddies Worldwide online and I don't have a subscription for that either because I want people to learn and have fun and enjoy. Thank you again Tiffany for what you do. And you are in my prayers for your health. Jeannie Sladko

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

My goal years ago was to provide as much start to finish quilting videos I can get in under 2 hours. I didn't like all the videos I seen when I was learning that skipped all the steps. So I wanted to break that with full quilt tutorials 😊 Plus I honestly feel like if I miss a step then people learning will have no clue what happened in-between A and Z. Thank you for watching 😊

[@lisawaterman2737]

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm glad you gave us an approximate number of hours it actually took you. Gives me a way to plan. I like the turquoise better.

[@WithAFullHeart]

"Put your pajamas on." Girl, I still have them on because I didn't change out of them! Please tell me I'm not the only one? 😆

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

I'm in mine all day every day. I only change to go somewhere and once home PJs go back on 😄 🤣 😂

[@cheyjan330]

I'm in awe, they are both just faboulous!!

[@human-qp1mf]

That would be a great quilt to do as a group.

[@karenbrunette6314]

Both are beautiful glad to have spent another morning with you ❤️your creativity you are an excellent teacher because of you i completed my very first quilt from start to finish

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@user-nq3vu7sw1b]

Just got to the end of the video….. as I commented earlier….”GREAT” video and easy to understand. Helped A LOT to understand terms commonly used that I had no clue what was referring to…. Such as: ON POINT, NESTING, FOCUS PRINT, CORNER STONE along with now knowing that when I connect rows that it’s ok…. RECOMMENDED to have the seams in each row going in the opposite direction. Also, as you did when laying out your pieces you commented on moving on to the BORDER you point out REALISTICALLY as to how long this is going to take. Just really impressed and grateful for happening by your video. Preference between the two quilt tops….. I lean towards TEAL myself; but,no doubt that they are equally beautiful and wonderfully made. 😊😊😊😊

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

I try to make things easy to understand 😊 Thank you for watching 😊

[@martinagraham3792]

Your tutorial is mesmerizing. Love to see the variety of strings you have.

[@afran7855]

So organized ❤ thank you! I also love how you go through each and every step. Thank you so much for this video. I am a new quilter and I’m gravitating toward scraps and strips . I love how all the blocks use the same pattern, but with the strings they are all different at the same time. Thank you again. You are such a good teacher, and you have inspired me to not only do this project, but to get organized in the micro way that I love. 😁🥰

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Have fun 👍

[@diannenaworensky6698]

I really enjoyed your video. I would think that if you are a string quilter the border can be therapeutic. The blue-green colored one was my favorite

[@sueduquemin7119]

Thank you Tiffany for showing us how to make this quilt. I think it is fabulous.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

You are so welcome!

[@suebean3873]

I love both of them. I love turquoise but I love earth tones almost as much. Both gorgeous. Great job on those. Absolutely love the look of them and love that you used all leftover fabrics and strings which I have so many of. TYou

[@franpatzcraig6713]

You are such a good teacher, Tiffany. Thank you. That is a lovely quilt!

[@pattweimer9268]

Piano borders... I have a sm/mid size tote with these borders. I spend time once in a while & make these, colour/tone wise wrapped on cardboard, held with an elastic. My favorite border, as well as I'm a border addict. The more the better. I also make larger quilts, q or k size. I use any leftovers possible in throw size. Next leftovers sent to bestie in Florida, as she is the 'scrap' queen. I also use a lot of 2.5, 4, or last one larger, which I precut, wrap & keep in the tote. I need a border, the first place I look is that tote. Almost always find at least 1 that is a great fit to the top design, colour, etc. I recently started to keep crumbs for 4.5 x 5 , simple house blocks. Need at least 400+. 1/2 everyday I sew. I sew about 350+- days a yr. I primarily make & tie, selling at local farmers market. I have several tops to be machine quilted throughout the yr. I have too many quilts, but this is my primary joy, I also rug hook, knit & love to cook. I'm a widow with 2 doggos & a cat with attitude!!! After a house fire, a move to a mobil home, a shattered hip, I have a very good life. 78 yrs & counting. Fun video, keep your great attitude out there. Thank you.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

That sounds great using up what ya have that way 😊 I love borders on my quilts too and tend to make queen and king sizes often. Sounds like you enjoy your daily life 😊 Have fun, keep on sewing!

[@maxinekoss7163]

Beautiful 😮

[@SoPatch33]

Thank you ever so much for the explicit instructions and the reason why. It really helps me; as a visual learner. Still working on mine. I have to go cut more strips from my stash.

Brilliant corner stone demo

It's hard to decide which one I like better. They are both beautiful. I love the piano key border so much. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

That large box of « strips » is one hell of a treasure. Wish I had even one small one…..how you piece so perfectly, no guide, no starch is beyond me. You are one of my favorite quilter!

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

It just happens. I've perfected my own style of making quilts 😄

[@cynthiaradobenko955]

Wow. Beautiful. Thanks for the detailed tutorial for on point patterns!❤

[@mary2240]

I love this quilt. You always make such pretty quilts. I haven’t been quilting very long so don’t have enough strings to make this quilt. I have some friends who sew so I’m going to hit them up. I’ve made an on point quilt, struggled with piecing the rows together until I got it thru my brain that different was right in this case.

[@elainelear4982]

Fantastic work, Tiffany.

What an adventure to design such a beautiful quilt top. Both basic colors were spot on an make the top pop. My favorite is the turquoise one. Well done!

I knew that was a Juki machine by the sound! Great videos, thanks.

[@michellejaggard9657]

Oh Tiffany that is so beautiful. You did an outstanding AWSOME job. You always impress me. I always strive to quilt as well as you. I fall short but I still look up to you as a mentor. You are just wonderful. Thank you again for a wonderful quilt. Take care and will continue to pray for your health. The turquoise is my favorite. I like blues, pinks and lavenders.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you 😊

[@shulamussnug7120]

Wow! This demo is wonderful! Makes so much sense. Thanks

[@karencross1964]

Both are gorgeous. When we see the final result, we can see why there is no stress about color value, (2 dark strings can go together etc). Thanks for a repeat. This was needed.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you 😊

[@cyn4rest]

Teal and Maroon- like them both, can’t choose. Love your tip for adding the final cornerstones. I work from the corners to center, overlap 1/2”, cut, sew, finish attaching (but only with scrappy borders). Can’t wait to try your method. Seems better to me. Thank you. Hope you and Becca are having a blast at Quilt Con. 😊

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

We are having loads of fun. We leave for Quilt Con in the morning. And then we will have more fun 😊

[@joane8651]

It's definitely a fun quilt 😊

Loving this one Tiffany! The high speed tutorial is really kind of fun to watch too. You always seem super organized. Something for me to aim for.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Ya I am probably way to organized, that's probably why it took so long to make 😄

[@Creative-Chaos]

I absolutely love this quilt. I couldn’t imagine it when you were making the blocks but as soon as you laid out the squares, I was enthralled. It is stunning.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you so much!

[@mimmie1375]

And just think, I loved this quilt so much when u made it in time lapse, that I slowed that video down as slow as I could, and made one for my best friend (a little smaller of course) but I made one and it turned out wonderful. So glad ur doing it again with details. This quilt is the best way to use up ur mix match and ugly fabric and create something beautiful. Tiff, ur creativity is unmatched.

[@TiffanysQuiltingLife]

Thank you 😊
