The Ultimate Scrap Quilt Tutorial

[@fbc5449]

I love the different shades of black and gray. They give movement and dimension to the busy and brightly colored scrappy strips. The whole quilt is beautiful and very well done!

[@windycityliz7711]

Completely agree. Sometimes you stop when you've got a good thing.

[@pdarby4417]

Absolutely agree! Blk, grey, navy works very well!

[@lindastrous5243]

I love it. Love it, love it. The pattern is really great. Don’t second guess yourself, it is lively and fun.

[@beckypetersen2680]

Yes, it is perfect.

[@nancyharman4795]

I kept muttering, "Black border before the zebra..." and you DID IT! Personally, I love this quilt! Lively and fun! 💖

[@l.jordan6761]

Hmmm This was marvelous, toss all of your misgivings. I appreciated 'the everything' about this quilt. I would rerecord it and just say "Isn't it Gr--reat!" Because it is. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@quiltgram3056]

Yeah, standing here making deviled eggs for our youngest son and my hubby. And the best ever quilting content just flashed across my screen. Thanks so much Norah as love both your creativity and kind heart. Hugs from Maine.

[@OrlaQuirk]

It's so pretty, with those vibrant colors and black! I'd love to see those squares set on point! I've seen similar joining of small scraps, but when they are all seen together, it can look messy and undefined. Adding a sold color and a design, makes it more fun and cheerful.

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

I love thise gorgeeous brights with the rich darks, this project is gorgeous! Exactly the type of quilt I would want to snuggle up in on a winter day for a splash of brightness.

[@naomijackman4307]

I live the black-grey scrappiness, nice easy lap quilt to put together - I might get my scraps out!

[@karenwidaman9860]

I think it looks awesome! Love the zebra print border.

[@irenesegura4121]

I love the vibrant colors with the black background. Looks amazing!

[@marygem]

Totally balanced. Satisfying regardless of our distraction with scrappiness.

[@barbarachattin-mcnichols2370]

Mixing the gray and black is brilliant as not all blacks are the same and it shows if you were hoping for a true match. Also like that the blocks are big

[@lindalosier5989]

I really like it. I'm drawn to this kind of scrappiness and what a great pattern for using up scraps. Thanks for sharing.

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Super cool idea, I have a lot of crumb blocks, I think I will chop them up to these sizes and do that with some of them, I like the scrappy dark blocks, looks good. Tks love,it. Can’t wait till your next video.

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Whatever you were aiming for, I love the finished result 🥰

[@kaytaylor1855]

It's lovely. Don't doubt yourself

[@queenslanddiva]

I love this quilt top. I am a scrappy person and this is so appealing. Thank you.

[@kimberlykring2475]

Looks great! Be proud of any thing you create!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I'm a scrapaholic and I love your quilt.

[@mamakaka73]

Ooh! A whole quilt llike that would be sooo pretty!

[@FoD1975]

Love it! I got an idea from someone, so made a very long roll of scrappy fabric, 2.5” wide, and then just cut off whatever lengths I needed when i needed them. Then you can add to the roll any time you like. Works brilliantly! Deb x 🤗

[@elainelear4982]

Love the black/gray vs all the color.

[@jamieinlouisiana4160]

Love everything about this quilt … especially the multi tones of black/grays/navy!

[@candiesanchez2304]

I love it! Great use of scraps with tons of color and contrast! 😊❤

[@camillewinnie27]

I totally love that quilt. I think the juxtaposition of the brights and the black is very stunning. I would love to have that quilt. In fact, I just put that one at the top of my list to make from a bunch of my scraps left over from a quilt I made a long time ago.

[@nancywatters3922]

Awesome Nora! Love all your choices! Hope to see you soon at IMQG!

[@diretirednow]

I like the quilt. A great way to use scraps !

[@cyn4rest]

I love this. I think it’s very dynamic.

[@patriciabethkedzlie7212]

I love this....One of the best ideas I have seen for using up scraps,,,

[@MariaDoricheva]

What a fun scrappy quilt, Norah!

[@Debisjoy]

Oh man, I love the dark hues !

[@bigk5837]

Gorgeous! Love this scrappy design 😍 thanks for sharing!

[@nancystruble8305]

I like it! You’ll probably like it more when you come back to it. Thanks for sharing!

[@sabahahmed5467]

Do not think like that. It is beautiful and very individual. Lovely quilt

[@heatherh9859]

I really like this one. I loved the pieced black borders and will try that myself soon.

[@jenniferr9564]

I love this quilt color choice

[@juliekoone3569]

I really like the blacks and gray, all your content is great! 🥰🥰

[@joydavis3089]

I Love this unique use of leftover scraps. This looks great. I have some leftover black, gray and white floral fabric and I think it would make a nice border for this kind of quilt.

[@sharondauz880]

I love your quilt! It’s so fun watching you work and try different things.

[@sherimcgill5139]

I really like the gray and black frames. I would like to see Joyce’s version and maybe try this out.

[@karenemerton5128]

Great use of color and value!!

[@cassieplayford634]

I love it! Gorgeous! 💕💕

[@amyohl5037]

You had made a very pleasant piece. Visually the movement is fun.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I think it is a very pretty scrap quilt. Thank you.

[@SylvieG-j6k]

I really like this idea! I thought it turned out beautiful and I am fully inspired to get started on one of my own. Thank you for sharing.

[@elizabethannwest646]

I love your work. Picasso inspired.😊

[@hedyczuchnicka6934]

This is a fabulous design. And one of the features that makes it work is the two-toned black. Which makes me think that any dark colour in two tones would be excellent as sashing and decrease its in-your-face intensity. Thank you for the idea!

[@brigittehillen8468]

I just LOVE your quilt! All the comments about "better" choices or what one would do personally are all valid..for the individuals who made them. The point is we are all different and unique and all express our personalities and creativity differently! Thats the beauty of the creative process. Your choices are unique to you and they are great! For what it's worth, im a new fan! Thank you Norah! ❤

[@SammieAnne-Angus]

I love it very much!! I love almost everything you do. ❤❤❤❤

[@abagguff9395]

I really love this one!!

[@paulineglenn1213]

I love it ! I will have to try it . I have no zebra fabric and I'm determined not to buy more fabric. So, I'll see what I can come up with. Did I mention that I love it. Thanks to your friend for the idea.

[@stitchann]

Norah you are too hard on yourself. This is beautiful.

[@garnettasmith1717]

Great idea! Love this quilt! So many ideas, so little time!

[@catblack4091]

I think it's really cool! I love the zebra border!

[@martiparsons3141]

I totally love this and am saving it!! ❤

[@dianajones8837]

This quilt definitely has the Wow factor! I love all the colours and the "zebra" border is absolutely inspired! Diana. xx.

[@pohakukuamoo7325]

That gave me LOTS of inspiration! Thank you. I love your creativity!

[@yb3106]

Love it! Love your pattern and colors!

[@michelelewis8808]

I love this! You inspired me to make this. I am always looking for scrap quilt patterns🥰

[@jeqaljeqal6508]

I really love this. The monochrome idea is fantastic. I like the sashing and the backing. This is going on my very looooong list of quilts to make.

[@louisepuketapu7365]

Really liking these blocks except the directional teacups lol. The thin black border looks good I was thinking a thin orange border but black looks great with the zebra fabric which is the best border out. I love your backing this is really good don’t give up on it like you say put it away for a few days then relook and you’ll love it I’m sure 🟧⬛️

[@karongraves964]

I love this quilt. I have loads of scraps. And this is my next quilt. But instead of black I think I’ll do dark blue or green. And I think it turned out beautiful thank you for sharing 😊

[@debcavan]

I have a lot of red white and blue scraps. Maybe this would work for a Vet's quilt. Thank you for the idea.

[@thebestofurekasgold3844]

I love how creative you are. ❤❤

[@silverraven2017]

Thank you for sharing. Love your art ! Love the suggestion of a nine patch, possibly 12 patch with smaller blocks.

[@chandarussell]

I really like it. The zebra print is great. I love it.

[@SpeakTruthBeKind]

Love seeing your process. Thank you for sharing❤

[@leighn.2169]

Beautiful!

[@diannenaworensky6698]

Enjoyed your video and the whole project analysis. ✌🏻♥️

[@sandraipeterson]

This is An excellent use scraps ! I love the different shades of black!

[@dianegoodwin9784]

Love love it 💕I'm a fan of black 🖤 and white 🤍 together, stunning ❤

[@arlotally]

I personally love those "oh shoot, I didn't mean to do that" moments 😂 good stuff comes out of that

[@joannsilva4715]

The contrasting darks are interesting & glad you left it & the borders are great!

[@lindsayschilling8707]

I Love it! If you stand back a few more feet, you may find that the contrast against the multi-colored piecing works really well. This is a great project to cut down on the scrapzilla pile. I'm going to give this a try ❤

[@AntoniaMartorella]

Wow i love the crazy wild colors.

[@eileenwhiston1949]

Love the end result. Think your right about solid black.

[@ClaudiaLash]

Interesting method. 👍The zebra print makes it for me!

[@chrissenak7655]

I love using scraps like this. I love it. I may use some of your ideas to make a quilt top. Great job!

[@dianadiehl]

This gives me so many ideas for using my scraps. I'm in México, and fabric stores don't have cotton, so I can't just pick out coordinating fabrics. I have to work with my stash. I love the way you use the blacks and greys together. You created a standout quilt!

[@mandamorris7934]

LOVE! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Lynda-r3i]

I like your quilt. I liked it with the hot pink and stripe better. I really liked it that way.

[@Peach231231]

Every piece has a ‘would’ve, could’ve, should’ve’ moments, but I think it turned out great! Love the black/gray/navy aspect!

[@CarolynHester-j4c]

Really like this I will definitely try this

[@campinglady81]

Great project! Love it!🧵

[@sharonjohnson7458]

I Like it, the colora are bright and I love how they pop with the black around them. I also love the zebra fabric border. Great try for a first time.

[@Rej58]

I really love what you did with the black grey together, it uses more scraps and it looks fantastic

[@kathyguest9633]

I love this and your backing is fabulous too! Great inspiration! Thank you. 👏👏👏

[@rachelqstitches]

I’ve made a smaller version of this block but I just love the larger one. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I like it and using scraps rocks, you can save only so many scraps and then you feel overwhelmed…..

[@Kitten49able]

You’re a great teacher love this project

[@rhondahallet8413]

Really like the quilt. I am amazed as I am not usually drawn to scrappy quilts. You did an amazing job

[@natashawhiteside2606]

Wow! Love it.

[@virginiaminer4574]

Really nice. Great job!

[@pauladimattei6434]

I love the pieced black, gray, navy.❤

[@debbieevans5884]

I love this! Thank you so much for the tutorial.

[@tammyswearingen1011]

It's really really cool. I'm an animal print girl 😊

[@Marlenemaise72-cc2dt]

Loving the black gray beautiful ❤❤❤

[@greenquiltsgalore1326]

I think this is a very successful quilt including the multitoned 'black'! I am working on two scrappy projects where i just crumb piece. One involves 10 by 12 blocks I'll finish in strips then quilt the strips of ten by the length, then attach the strips! Fun stuff!

[@sherylm2442]

I know you had a "vision" for this quilt but personally I love it. I really like the scrappy black as I think it gives it a lot of visual interest. I think overall it looks great and very interesting. It inspires me for another use for my scraps! Thank you for sharing.

[@EleanorvonTungeln]

I really like how it came out.
