LONELY SCRAPS INTO LOVELY QUILTS! Donna's FREE PATTERN "Scrap Strips Diamond Trip" tutorial!

[@maggiemoreno4051]

I love your videos I’m 86 yrs old and your videos are so easy for old people like thank you ver much

[@susandunn3028]

I cannot find anyone who teaches and presents as well as you do! I watch and learn, download your patterns and watch again. Thank you!

[@heidekempter5646]

My favourite is the scrappy-quilt. It's really really nice!

[@susandunn3028]

My favorite is the scrappy quilt but I also really like the 3-dimensional look with the jelly roll quilt.

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I do the same Susan. I’ve made 2 of Donna’s patterns and will be starting a 3rd one soon. The video is always my reference point. Sometimes I watch it several times to make sure I don’t mess up.

[@jangrueter]

I agree I love watching your videos! You are an awesome teacher!

[@aligalad9907]

Cannot agree more - however I did have an Australian lady pop up in my feed recently - she goes QAYG - very good teacher also - pattern pool tv KZbin if interested

[@suziehemmer6116]

It is like picking one child over the other. I like them both for their personalities. They each bang their own drum.

[@kathleenheston5295]

Donna, I love both the quilts so much, but the scrappy quilt reminds me of an antique quilt which I love. Thanks so much for all your help in making these quilts. At 72 I just recently made my first quilt for a friend in the Nursing Home. Wish I would have started this much earlier in my life. Now getting ready to make a crib quilt for our new great grandbaby coming in July. Once again, many thanks for your inspiration and getting me started on a new venture in my life. ♥

[@dianeetcheverry6452]

Again, another beautiful quilt, and I can’t believe the number of scraps you used. Lots of ladies are using scraps, or showing us how to use them, but this one seems so easy. I can’t wait to get started. You are the BEST instructor. I like them both for different reasons. I am getting a list ready to order from you, but I don’t own a computer so it’s harder for me. If your children are still videoing and editing, they are doing a fabulous job. They make you look even better than you are. You and Matt are doing such a wonderful job for the quilting world. Thank you so much!!!

[@prenee6782]

My favorite is the SCRAPPY quilt. I do like the jelly roll and the vibrant colors, but scrappy wins this time. :)

[@maureenr.7399]

This has got to be one of the top 5 scrap quilt patterns I have ever seen. Well done!

[@yvonnekoppen4609]

This is perfect Donna - I have been cutting 2 1/2” strips out of lots of donated leftovers from old friends. I can’t wait to get started. Especially as I have redesigned my sewing room & built a cutting table out of cubed shelving to suit. Widowed 6 months - “When you are feeling low - then sew sew sew!”. Thankyou for your inspiration & teaching.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

God Bless, Yvonne. I too was widowed at the age of 45. Quilting helped ease the pain, and it exercised my creative spirit. Keep sewing, Girl. Wishing you happier days ahead and many beautiful quilts ❤

[@missrhondy8543]

@@lindsayschilling8707 similar to you both. I'm 45 now, was 43 when my spouse passed. I've felt lost for so long, trying to find my own purpose again, and something I am passionate about. I love these videos as well. @Yvonne Koppen - I love your little quote...

[@mrsmcphate]

So sorry for your loss. I'm happy that you found quilting to be a source of comfort. I've never heard that saying, "when you are feeling low..." but it's "sew" true! LOL! TFS.

[@yvonneshuttlesworth9592]

I really like these quilts

[@GlendaSue1964]

When I became a widow 7 years ago, I found quilting was my way out of depression. Still miss him terribly,but the pain is not as intense as it was. Quilt teachers like Donna, Jenny, and Eleanor all helped me through some very dark days. We were married for 52 years. This year I will be 77.

[@audreyhead4696]

Scrappy is my favorite. I really like it.❤

[@diannelowe5094]

The Jelly Roll looks 3D when looking from the side. I love that feature.

[@misperception985]

Of course, I love both! The scrappy is my favorite only because it reminds me of the look of quilts of my childhood. The bolder strips of the other quilt have a 3D visual quality to it which is really nice. All of the quilts you make are stunning! And, I love watching your tutorials as you inspire me to try new things! You are fabulous at teaching and instilling confidence to those who are newer to the quilting world like me! Thank you so much!!!

[@mistyproctor9588]

Love it. The jelly roll would be my favorite only because of loving the colors.

[@lrobbe6079]

Great pattern and I can't wait to print it off and start pulling my scraps. Donna you are wonderful!!! We are lucky to have you!!! Happy sewing!!! Laurie

[@SoulsJourney]

Oh wow, I never would have thought to put all those different fabrics together, but I love the result! It's so bright and cheery. The scrappy one is definitely my favorite.

[@gudrunj.4591]

I am German and love to watch your videos. You explain eyerything so clearly, I have no problems to unterstand. Wonderful (wunderbar). Thank you. (Danke).You are a great teacher.

[@robandkrispedrow1447]

What a great pattern! I love the scrappy version of this quilt, but must admit that watching your videos is not helping me decrease the number of unfinished projects on my list. I want to start a new quilt every day. Thanks for all the great inspiration!

[@AnitaSouthall]

I know right, it's more than an addiction to fabric

[@dianareddell1496]

Right??! Gosh…quilting’s The Best!! ❤️

[@catgoddess1190]

LOL I am in the same boat!

[@sewcrazybaker]

I like the Jelly Roll quilt best because it has a 3-D look depending on how you look at it. I also love those Bright colors! Donna, you are absolutely the BEST teacher! Thank you so very much for helping us all achieve our Quilting goals!

[@nailah5677]

I looove the scrappy one 😍 send you a warmt hello from Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, stay safe and stay healthy dear!😊

[@maryevans861]

I like the scrappy one. I was thinking about doing something very similar as I was going through all of my scraps this afternoon. Great quilting minds think alike. Thanks Donna!

[@lauraporter6516]

My fairy quilting mother saves the day! I need this so bad. I finally organized my leftover jelly roll strips and found that I probably have enough for 3 quilt tops. I'm so ready to bust that stash and this will be perfect for me.

[@sharonpalmer-u6v]

I personally liked both , but my favourite one was the scrappy purple one that you made I loved the purple pops of colour throughout Thankyou

[@laurakimmel8113]

I loved both types. Scrappy reminds me of Grandma's quilts. She would use scraps of our clothes. The jelly roll quilt is more sophisticated and so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@colleenfitz-gerald9749]

I love them both Donna. I wasn’t sure how you were going to pull it together but the scrappy quilt turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing. I learn so much with each tutorial.

[@wendywilson1736]

Love this! Love the navy tying it all together. I'm going to be doing something with my Christmas strips this year. I could use white for snowballs.

[@cherylwight3088]

I like the lighter scrappy quilt, the mood it brings on into the room it will be in willl be uplifting and cheery.

[@lovieball552]

Scrapy has my vote. Already have long strip of 2.5" pieces. Was going to be scrappy bindings, changed my mind. Long enough to bind 4 queen quilts. Now to select accents and start cutting down my strip into sections. Thanks for the wonderful pattern.

[@sandrasaliga3551]

Scrappy is my choice. Fun and easy way to use up scraps

[@CopyTvArt]

Wonderful pattern 🙏🙏🙏

[@sandrawilliams7426]

I love all your tutorials! You’re easy to follow and everything you create is beautiful. It’s hard to choose between the jelly roll and scrappy quilt as both are gorgeous, but if I had to choose it will be the scrappy quilt. Both are absolutely gorgeous and the drunkards path is also supreme. Thank you Donna and Matt!

[@cherylrussell2896]

Donna, I like both quilts. My favorite is the Scrappy quilt! I have been wondering what to do with all of my scraps and this pattern is perfect. I'm fairly new at quilting and have been going back and watching all of your videos. I want to thank you for your inspiration and talent. I am learning a lot from your tutorials.💜

[@queenvashtiful]

I love the scrappy quilt. It reminds me of the quilts my grandmother used to make from all the old shirts and jeans. It's beautiful.

[@redhen689]

Yes, Great idea! You could use jeans (as long as they’re not too heavy) for the accent fabric.)

[@valerieosborne3785]

I like the scrappy version the best.

[@jayanthirao9726]

Such a brilliant idea!!! You explain it so well, especially folding the seams to either left or right…. bang on. I loved both the quilts you showed today. I guess the jelly roll quilt would look wonderful as a tapestry and the other one will be too good to snuggle!!

[@aggieromero-sirrine6769]

That's a hard choice! I like them both!!! For different reasons. I'm a novice, and I really appreciate your video. It helps me understand. I am a visual learner. Thank you so very much!

[@verabater7431]

Love, love, love the scrappy quilt. Now I know what to do with scraps from quilts I made for my 9 grandchildren. It will be interesting to see if they recognize the prints from their quilts. So excited to make this. Thanks Donna, I love your tutorials and patterns!

[@beverlyknappenberger1076]

Love the scrappy quilt best. Love everything you do!

[@Sharon-pb7so]

Hi Vera, I hope you have a nice trip down memory lane when you make your quilt.

[@itcouldbeanyone]

The jelly roll quilt has an almost 3D look, both quilts look brilliant and are a neat way to remember past projects

[@nicolebeauchamp7622]

Yes, my eyes saw a 3d effect too.

[@bellazaralilyruger6517]

I had a quilt made for each of my children. My son's was made with three generations of shirts. I saved all his shirts from when he was little. I took some of my husband's old shirts and my father's shirts when he passed away and turned it into a beautiful keepsake quilt for my son. My son is not a choir but the quilt choked him up!

[@eepsers1]

I like both versions of this quilt. Thanks, Donna, for another free pattern and great tutorial! I noticed a little bit of a 3-d illusion (like tumbling blocks) in the jelly roll quilt, probably because there was more contrast between the strips. That was interesting. I will probably make the scrap version, however, because it looks like a great way to use up a lot of assorted scraps, especially pre-cut leftovers!

[@LinniePA]

That's exactly what I saw in the jelly roll one. Loved this tutorial and will probably be making one of each because I have too many scraps AND too many jelly rolls (which are addictive to stash)!

[@nancydenny3127]

I saw the same thing too!

[@marshawallace7522]

Yes❣️. That caught my eye too.

[@mariabrenneman8881]

Definitely the scrappy one is my favorite. Great idea, Donna. Always great to see you working on a quilt to inspire us all.

[@kjscreations3132]

I LOVE the scrappy quilt! ❤ I'll be trying this with all my scraps and leftovers! Thank you for the pattern!

[@katrinedukic5195]

I love how this pattern looks so different when you used the two fabric choices. The jelly roll version appears almost 3D, which is a very interesting effect. My favourite though is the scrappy version, I love scrappy quilts. Thank you again for another wonderful video.

[@maryannecadd796]

There is no such thing as "too scrappy"! That is by far my favorite, although I wouldn't refuse the quilt made with Jelly rolls. This is a perfect quilt to start the new year off and use some of the left-overs from last year. You are such an innovative teacher and have such great ideas! Thanks for sharing your ideas and talents.

[@donnakoger8216]

I was never taught to sew I'm 61 would love to learn this is scary. My grandmother made all the grandchildren a quilt except me. Ty for sharing I'm going to try 🙂

[@sguhl4089]

I LOVE the scrappy quilt! Thank you for the pattern. And thank you especially for the pressing suggestions. Wouldn’t this be fun in black/white strips with red accents! You are a great teacher!

[@LinniePA]

Yes ... scrappy in black/white/gray fabrics with red accents! GREAT idea!!

[@arlenesmith7883]

Donna, you are such a great instructor! You explain every step so thoroughly and make it look so easy! Thank you ! Both quilts are beautiful, I like the scrappy one best!

[@karenmarshall8354]

I like the jelly roll one as it does all go together, BUT I think I'll be doing the scrappy one as I need to use them up. They are taking over. 😜. Always look forward to your tutorials, they are so easy to follow. You make it all look so easy and doable. Thank you.😊

[@wendywilson1736]

And the rest Still tend to multiply when we aren't looking!😮

[@kathleenclark9349]

I love the scrappy versiOn. Great way to use all those leftover binding strips as well as trimmings from quilt backings. Think this pattern would be perfect for charity quilts!

[@bonniechretien6215]

I love the scrappy quilt. I never would have thought to put all my scrap pieces together and make a quilt this pretty. Thank you so much for sharing this quilt and pattern. I’m going to start trimming my scraps into 2.5” pieces! 😃

[@dianeseipert2235]

Scrappy is my favorite. Appreciate your lessons & patterns.

[@joanmorschel5163]

Love both. The jelly roll quilt looks 3D, love the scrappy one as something different for my scraps. Thanks for the great ideas

[@theresebower1048]

Donna you are one of my FAVORITE quilt people. The “free patterns and demos” are perfect for many of the quick easy charity quilts I make and give to foster children, cancer patients or anyone else I find that needs or will take them. Please know that I am grateful for you sharing your talents and know you are impacting many more than you know.❤️

The jelly roll original has a terrific 3D effect, and it gives me ideas of how to lay out a scrappy quilt with the same type of effect. Great ideas!

[@sczajk1198]

Scrappy quilt is my favorite. You always make it look so easy!

[@peggyfanning9258]

Donna, I made your scrap quilt using low volume to medium scraps and some purple fabric scrap squares I bought at a thrift shop! My scraps ranged from the 1930s to present time. I picked one scrap to use as the focal or design fabric and then just started pulling anything that had close to the same colors. Oh my gosh it is one of my favorite quilts I have ever made! I did make one small change. I extended the width by finishing off the last half square triangle to make it whole. I then added 4" more (in total) scraps on each side. This 4" was sometimes made up of more than one scrap. I love the way you use ALL the scraps you pull! Thank you for this tutorial!

[@georgiadavison4394]

I like both versions, but the scrappy one reminds me of my grandma's quilts. She raised 11 children, and after the last few came along, all the hand-me-downs were pretty worn, so grandma would cut up the clothes and make quilts. With time and wear, most of the scraps were fairly light colored. Thank you Donna and crew for a trip down memory lane with this quilt. I bet this design would look just as great if all dark scraps were used with a light accent. Keep the wonderful tutorials coming. I love them all !!!!

[@billiewillis7645]

I like both of them. Both so unique. Being a quilter and giving away most everything I make, I'd keep the scrappy one for the memories though

O.K., this is the 3rd time I've watched this vid: I Love scrappy quilts, and I REALLY love this one! I started cutting a bunch of strips this afternoon, and I tend to lean towards blues & greens (at least for this quilt). I will be adding plenty of low volume strips, as it will set off the blues/green values. Now, the accent fabric (?). I do have a medium royal blue that is a tone on tone print (a gorgeous brilliant royal blue) that may very well be the accent fabric. I can't wait to get started! Donna, thank you for your inspirational videos; and gigantic thanks for making them easy to understand for the beginner & advanced quilter. Big hugs to the whole crew, from an artist & quilter in Sacramento, California ❤
