Magic No-Scraps Herringbone Quilt!

[@nightsewer]

I have been sewing for about 68 years. The very first video that I saw of yours I learned so very much about the thread! I sew mostly clothes as I started a business , like a million years ago, sewing for larger women. One lady was going on a cruise and wanted a sexy bathing suit. Word spread from there and it just kind of exploded. I am retired now and only sew for who I want to sew for. I am going to sew a great grand baby quilt for my great grand babies. So I am going to "binge" watch all your videos. Thank you so much for your videos. They are so informative that I have sent your video link to many of my friends that quilt. Some of them professionally. I do not do longarm, but they do. Thank you again. Deborah

This was like a mystery movie, waiting for each of your magic steps. So much fun and no hair pulling and screaming. I have done the "old" method with lots of waste and lackluster results. As always I appreciate your calm voice that always carries such notes of joy which gives me hope for my project. You are a great teacher.

It wasn't until you cut the first "tube" that I understood what you were doing. Brilliant! *sigh* - Add another to my list of projects to try.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Lol. Sorry? But not really :). This is a really fun quick one so I hope you enjoy it :)

[@Denise11Schultz]

Wow! Feels like it is perfect for a vest pattern with piped or flanged side and shoulder seams. Also any ombre fabric would be fascinating to try with this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing, and I can hardly wait to try it. P.S. Before, I always did a braid, instead of a herringbone, with half hexagons. I like the ‘zipper magic’ of using logs (rectangles) instead. 😎🌱🌿💚

[@ChristineKrannich]

Dannnnnng, this is incredible! I love the look of heringbone but winced at the thought of all the waste. What a fantastic solution! Thanks so much. This will be fun to try!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

That was my reaction!! I hated all that cut off! And it didn't even seem like useful scraps since they were weird shapes. I knew there had to be a better way!

[@lizziedae91]

Idk how you ever thought of all this but its amazing thank you

[@susanbertrand8620]

This is absolutely brilliant! I think I would try a floor pillow or baby quilt size as a first time project. Thank you for another fantastic tutorial-always appreciated 🧡

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks! The little pieces I used were about 1 1/2 x 5 and I ended up with a 12" block. Hopefully that helps you size a bit for a smaller quilt :)

[@dc5600]

The Opinionated Quilter sent me here and I'm so glad she did. Genius!

[@nedag8276]

Thanks!

[@nicolebrunzel6608]

What a clever way to construct that quilt. Now to find the perfect fabrics for it...

[@andersonm3874]

Nicole how are you doing over there

[@patriciapfahl2189]

lol, I’ve almost stopped watching 3 times, but somehow you draw me back at just the right moment. I had to remind myself a few times that this was a mini model; I’m very keen to try it at full size! So colourful! Thanks for this one. Your tenacity is inspiring to me.

[@zacharysandler9199]

Ummm, last night in my insomnia I watched your video and then this afternoon I had to make it. It was amazingly easy and I love the way it turned out. Can’t wait to make another one!

[@nancydublin3315]

Me too! Confident it will work so am going to get busy today!!!!! How smart this young lady is. Who would have thought of this fabric-saving idea!!!!!

[@textiles4tots]

I love that you are doing tutorials on more advanced techniques!! (If I never see another HST tutorial… enough said.) Thank you!! This looks like a fun puzzle to explore and I love that it won’t add to my growing crumbs collection!

[@anjamaas7140]

I love this quilt! Now, on jellyroll-day 2023, I'm making this with a jellyroll. Thank you so much for sharing! I hope to see you back soon.

[@bethanyhyder3750]

My mind is blown. 🤯 This is incredible!! Your tutorials are my favorite quilt tutorials on KZbin!! Thank you for another fun and free project!

[@pywagner]

Thanks! This is brilliant! I will always come back to this video to refresh my memory of this approach.

[@teddy-3765]

Love it! And great to see it worked in miniature for those of us who sew mostly for dolls.

[@sharonosburn494]

I spent the evening looking for someone to show me how to do this! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤

[@abigaildolinger2754]

Megan, you are a genius! Thanks for this great tutorial!

[@celestevans153]

Oh my word!🎉 Herringbone with no waste. No excuses not to make one of this awesome quilts now. Thank you so much! And my scrap basket thanks you too!

[@wendyshill2]

Wow! Now that’s what you call a PUZZLE. Only you could explain it this well!!!

[@sharonbierd5783]

Made it using upcycled upholstery material! Worked out well and the instructions were very good. Thanks!

[@critterwatcher8009]

Nice job teaching. Showed all the important steps and pointed out where it might look different on a larger scale.

[@DottieWatkins]

THANK YOU for embracing the dreaded Y seam! I've always thought things would work out better if we just sucked it up and sewed them. An lo and behold - voila! Amazing results! Thanks for always bringing a thoughtful approach to making lovely things. Love, love, love your tutorials!

[@kschallert3569]

Wow! This is beautiful and it's a project I actually understand how to assemble, thanks to your thorough instructions! I love your videos, you're such a good teacher! Your quilt is stunning. The fabric choices are so beautifully artistic. You're just amazing! Thank you for sharing so much with the quilting community ❤️

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!! Gotta love your fabric choice for the quilt xxx

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Anna Maria sure does make some absolutely gorgeous and equally hard to use prints! lol. I wanted to keep the pieces as big as I could :)

[@alexandrawellington8028]

@@TinyOrchardQuilts I agree with you, so pretty and hard to cut up, like Kaffe and Tula too xxx

[@susanharber6488]

Wow! Thank you for this. I can’t wait to make one. You are a clever mathematician AND a magician!!

[@Suezee66]

Brilliant,absolutely amazing, I smile blessing beautiful lady 🇨🇦🌻🙏🌻🙏🌻🙏

[@andersonm3874]

Hello

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

It is so refreshing to see something new regarding an old pattern! Well done!

[@kimlayer395]

What an incredible teacher you are! This is the only tutorial that I've seen that makes sense to me! Thank you for sharing.

[@GLITTERandSKULLZ]

Thank you for this video. You've given me a great idea for a border to my hexagon quilt. ❤

[@elsafischer3247]

THANK YOU THANK YOU You are great to me. I’m in the hospital seeing this and all I want is to go home and tried this Greetings from Switzerland

[@rachelmurguia9874]

This is amazing! Mind blown 😮

[@doloresmcnab4879]

It worked. I did it! Thank you for this “no waste” version!!!

[@gwenniesimpson9309]

Oh my goodness! I have used herringbone for borders many times, but a whole quilt? and with no waste! This is definitely on my bucket list now.

[@lauramarjoram2692]

Omg how clever is that! 😍😍😍

[@reinamariposa]

Ive seen this video like 3 times since you posted it and I think I'm going to try it. Can't get the idea out of my head! It would be sooooo cooooool! and I would feel like a magic wizard when I was done.

[@elizabethmckay8712]

Thank you for this tutorial. Love the way this quilt doesn't need to be cut and there is no waste.

[@mambakind]

Ingenious! Excellant!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you! :)

[@bonnieh403]

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow? First time I am seeing one of your tutorials, glad I found you. Great job on the instructions.

[@JeanMcDoniel]

Not sure when you made this BUT I LOVE IT ❤️ GO GIRL. I can't wait to learn more!!❤

[@petrak9898]

I'm so happy to found your video of this dramatic mystery sewing ♡

[@marydevlin9559]

Just love this. And the Anna Marie Horner quilt.

[@leemiller2811]

Amazing. I don’t think I’ll try it but your instructions are wonderful. 🌺

[@connieking9873]

This was one of the most interesting tutorials. So glad I found it. Was sent to this video by the opinionated quilter. Loved it.

[@arbed31]

Excellent! Thanks for the video!

[@abigailthompson4456]

This is so clever! Thank you

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks abigail! :)

[@wenkaitong8013]

This is awesome! I will give it a try for sure. Thank you very much for the great tutorial!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks! I hope you give it a go! Its really much easier to do than explain how to do it :)

[@cathymcspaden6879]

Thank you for all the work you have put into this pattern. This zipper quilt turned into one of my go-to quilts. I scale it down (5”X18” pieces) for baby quilts, and scale it up by adding more chevrons and more rows of chevrons, for a wonderful wedding gift. I ordered more fabric to make it again for a gift, so thank you again for your pattern.

[@sandrahageman9955]

I have now watch this for the third time as I am working on my third project using this technique. I have been using jelly rolls. This one I did three panels before I sold them together. Love how it turns out. Love the limited waste. Always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

That is magic! I can't wait to show your video to my friends.

[@cathyc1079]

Fantastic! Great pattern, you are very clever. Thank you for the great tutorial, you made it look like l could actually try this. Looking forward to doing this with all those big bold fabrics you don't want to cut up into small pieces. Really enjoy your channel :)

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@cathymcspaden6879]

Thank you for putting out this KZbin again, it’s my favorite. I need it if I haven’t made the pattern for awhile. I would buy an in depth, well illustrated pattern if you wanted to publish it.

[@jeannehall1722]

You did it again, great video

[@scottydog6539]

Wow, quite a technique. Great video!!!!

[@aquariusgirl01]

this is so cool! Thanks so much!. I enjoy your videos so much and so happy to have found you. Your style is so much my jam! Happy dance

[@janeahrens572]

Your instructions were clear and step by step. That made it easy to follow. Thanks

[@pamelamiller3215]

Thankyou for showing me on how to stitch this together without trimming off all the small pieces on the sides will be doing this to my quilt

[@70acres]

You are just fabulous! I love the way your brain works! Thanks, pretty lady!

[@jodihensley6299]

I made this quilt in less than a day. Super fun. Had to watch video a few times while making. It was like a magic trip in fabric. Thanks again, Megan, for great you tube quilting content!!!

[@CRobertK]

I love this! So clever! I can't wait to try!

[@debrister3798]

This is a wonderful idea that I never new about . No waste !

[@cocotheo]

THX! Heading to a retreat at the end of this month, and I’m making a stained glass denim ombré quilt for my amazing daughter. I so appreciate your insightful techniques!😊

[@elizabethpauley2017]

You are such a great teacher!! Thanks!!

[@shineherrington3199]

Thank you for this video. Clear, concise, easy to follow directions. I've been saving blue jeans since the 80s. I used 16 pairs making a quilt for my 10 yo granddaughter using this technique. My strips were 30' x 6'. It came out to a queen size and perfect. I wish I could share a photo of it with you. Thanks again!

[@dianareddell1496]

Frickin’ BRILLIANT!!! That is just amazing and so creative and sensible. Why has no one come up with this before?? Thank you so much!

[@annejohnson7596]

Megan, this is so very clever! In the midst of making a herringbone background, I found this video! I love that there is no waste from cutting off the ends on each side, and I'm so pleased that my quilt is just a little larger! Thank you so much for posting this tutorial.

[@andersonm3874]

Anne how are you doing over there

[@margaretbaker623]

A great way to do this. Thank you! 🤗

[@mike1968442]

I love it in this “mini size”!

[@vanessamitchell6664]

This is brilliant! Can’t wait to try it!! ❤️

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@donnabosomworth7989]

This is so cool! Can’t wait to give it a go. 💕

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

I hope you like it! Its certainly a fun puzzle to get it to all go together :)

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Wow, Megan! So cool! 😲

[@helenshimell3343]

Great video - Great idea. When the video started I thought I could do this with EPP. Having watched the whole video I know I can do it your way.

[@vickichandler5872]

This wonderful! Such a cool trick to use in order to save the fabric that is normally cut off and discarded or recycled. Thanks so much. Take care and blessings to y'all.

[@loramorrow2260]

I love your technique for this no waste quilt. Definitely going in my repertoire. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@kathgleeson2429]

Just brilliant 👏

[@valentinaruzecki5734]

YOU, are BRILLIANT!!!! Cannot WAIT to try this!

[@hollyknobler9309]

Brilliant!!! I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing this method.

[@hollyhold6960]

Spectacular video & quilt. I'm, literally, salivating as I view the fabric. I've not been sewing for several yrs, time to return to my happy place. Thank you.

[@ipattymayo007]

This tiny one is a perfect size for a bag panel! My brain is turning! 😁😁😁🤓🤓

[@susanchase7880]

Thanks to you for making sense of this pattern and the many hundreds of years of ancient hand sewers throughout those centuries for their artistry coming to life in your hands. You did make it look easy. Congrats .............

[@randylls5341]

So creative

[@deborahmcmillan806]

I love this! It's so clever and beautiful. It will be my next quilt - a perfect way to finally use some of the fat quarter bundles that I have been reluctant to "cut". I really appreciate the no-waste element. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

[@juliebute905]

Oh my gosh. Who would ever think? Love it!

[@mariannemay4760]

You make such calm progress through this complicated tutorial. You came up with a great idea for sewing this project. Thanks.

[@andersonm3874]

Marianne how are you doing over there

[@helenmanning8066]

Amazing! A bit mind boggling while you are doing it, but seems so easy after you cut it.

[@Imjetta7]

Oh my. I’m so in love with this! WAY out of my skills set as yet, but someday I’m doing this one!

[@debraholmes6290]

Brilliant Megan! Thank you for sharing!! Need to get a copy of your pattern from my printer and head out to my studio!

[@oliviafox3605]

That was MAGIC!

[@elizabethamis9376]

Wonderful, truly wonderful! Thanks so much. Liz from Somerset, UK

[@suebray3633]

Absolutely Brilliant! Thank you

[@yx6889]

Megan thank you for your wonderful tutorials!

[@monicapharo2330]

You area a GENIUS 🥇🧠🫵🏻🤩

[@khalajanskitchen7456]

Awesome , I will definitely try your method to make this block . Thanks 🙏

[@rzrpap]

You did an excellent video for this type of sewing. Thanks

[@cherylsmith3002]

I've never done a partial seam in piecing, so this will stretch my skills. And maybe patience. But I have a few FQ bundles that might just be perfect for this. LOVE all the colors!

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@nancystocker357]

I like the smaller size, it’s cute!

[@lesa6399]

This is crazy!!! (In a good way) I will be rewatching!!! Gotta try this! Amazing!!!!

[@lesliem2041]

Brilliant! I love minimizing waste and this technique does just that. Thank you for sharing it

[@andersonm3874]

Leslie how are you doing

[@kathyvazquez3601]

GENIUS!
