MSQC End of Bolt Mystery Box Unboxing

[@HelenP-js4hl]

I love your fur baby helper, that did not seem to be bothered by getting buried! The quilt behind you is beautiful!

[@QuiltedDelights]

@HelenP-js4hl lol yeah, he always likes to be in the middle of things.

[@bonniejackson7393]

What a lovely box of pretty fabrics!

[@QuiltedDelights]

I'm really happy with the box too!

[@Stitching_grandma]

Would love to add those to my scrappy stash. Lovely selection.

[@QuiltedDelights]

I'll add your name to the hat!

[@QuiltedDelights]

I'll put your name in the drawing!

[@ohnickie]

Merry Christmas! I love the purple ones.

[@QuiltedDelights]

@ohnickie Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks for stopping by.

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

My favorite was the first one.

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

I like those 4 pieces. They remind me of a project that my mother helped me complete.

[@QuiltedDelights]

That sounds interesting. Was it a scrappy project?

[@ridgehilljillie9429]

@QuiltedDelights It was a 60s style smock, lavender flower stripes with lighter softer stripe ruffled sleeves and coordinating pockets on the front. It was very sweet. It was made an old Singer Featherweight machine.

[@donnachace-larson4795]

Thanks for sharing. You got one of the best mixes I've seen from folks on line. Enjoy!

[@QuiltedDelights]

@donnachace-larson4795 Thanks, yeah, I like most of them. The box was a winner for me.

I love Missouri Star Quilt Company! I've seen these end of bolt mystery boxes, but I've never been tempted to buy one, even when they were half price because I knew the fabric would be nothing I would ever use. After seeing what you got in yours, I was 100% correct. I have bought mystery charm packs, layer cakes and jelly rolls when they were half price at MSQC. I think I only got two that I wasn't crazy about.

[@QuiltedDelights]

@sewcrazybaker I'm glad the video helped you. I haven't tried the mystery layer cakes yet. I might give those a try.

[@jonnaosborne1832]

One thing I LOVE doing with stripes that I otherwise do not know how to use - I make bias bindings. I make mostly scrappy quilts, and anything goes!

[@QuiltedDelights]

@jonnaosborne1832 That is a good idea! They will look totally different cut on the bias.

[@mrs.rabbit621]

For the “striped” fabric, there is a table topper pattern called Triangle Frenzy Swirl using a 60 degree ruler. I have always wanted to make one.

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@mrs.rabbit621 ooh, I'll have to look that up. Thanks!

[@sandrakleiserblack5140]

I would use the large floral stripes as a border, maybe a kaleidoscope block (above my skill level though), or cut them down so there’s no longer a stripe. I’d be grateful for a chance to win the science/math themed fabric. Thanks for sharing your haul. I’ll be looking into one of those for myself now. Merry Christmas!

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@sandrakleiserblack5140 a Kaleidoscope block would be a great idea!

[@paulaneary7877]

Hi Lea. I like those four fabrics. Thank you for the video. I have learned that for stripes, they can look good as smaller squares.

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@paulaneary7877 Thanks, I'll try that out.

[@pgeishirt]

Thank you for showing us the box opening. I like all the selections.

[@QuiltedDelights]

@pgeishirt I was surprised myself. I really thought I would get some "duds" but the box had a lot of good prints.

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

I enjoyed the unboxing. I wondered what you get in these types of offerings. I liked them all, even your not so favorites. They absolutely will be useful in some project!

[@QuiltedDelights]

Thanks so much! I thought it was fun to see what was in there too.

[@Chez-Lara]

Hi, new subscriber! I like all the ones you didn't...😊 I use stripes for pillowcases, bag linings, and they are great for tote bags, especially when paired with a solid at the bottom!

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@Chez-Lara ooh, bag linings are a great idea!

[@suzik568]

Your box was awesome! 👍 You should have lots of fun with the fabrics. I’ve purchased their end of bolt boxes two times and received lot of solids and a lot smaller pieces! As a result, I stopped buying them. The four pieces you dislike aren’t that bad. I love the yellow one the best. 😊 The stripe is iffy 🤔 … but I would just cut it up and put the pieces in my string quilt section. 🤩

[@QuiltedDelights]

Thanks! Good idea about using them up in string quilts.

[@loisbruce]

Thank you for sharing with us Lea. We have similar sales in the UK, but with smaller off-cuts. All of your fabrics are pretty colourful with lots of variety to make a log cabin, Irish chain or other scrap quilt, but I'd make cute half aprons with the striped fabrics. Happy sewing and Merry Christmas! 🌲

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@loisbruce Half aprons would be great! Thanks for the idea.

[@laurajercha9587]

I didn’t know fabric houses sell mystery end of bolt boxes. What a surprise to receive!!

[@QuiltedDelights]

@laurajercha9587 Yeah, there were a lot of good prints in there. If they have another good sale again, I may be tempted to get another one.

[@user-Stormeyes]

The green stripe fabric would make an adorable border on a baby or child's quilt.

[@janetfitzgerald984]

The "stripe" is for borders. I got the same box, and the fabric patterns are the same. I was please with mine as a first--time buyer.

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@janetfitzgerald984 That's interesting they sent the same items. I wonder what they truly consider "end of the bolt" and how many pieces they cut it into to make all these boxes.

[@christinehl4310]

Looked up your channel by way of Brenda from Mount Scrapmore. I’m never brave enough to purchase an end of bolt mystery box. Never know if I get big enough pieces to do anything with them or if the fabrics coordinate. But it looks like you could make a scrap quilt. The border fabrics could be cut into squares and framed with a coordinating solid to make a block. Thank you for sharing and will look up your other videos. Merry Christmas 🎄 Christine-Texas

[@QuiltedDelights]

@@christinehl4310 Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the idea about the border fabrics! I'll try it out.

[@sewinghomegoodsmarymichaud8632]

Any fabric can be cut into small squares, that's what I do with fabrics that I'm not fond of 😆 I just subscribed ❤😊

[@QuiltedDelights]

That's a great way to use up fabric you're not sure what to do with. Thanks for subscribing!

[@sewinghomegoodsmarymichaud8632]

@QuiltedDelights Merry Christmas!

[@marlyntaylor5145]

How much did your mystery box cost ?

[@QuiltedDelights]

It was a little over half off during one of their holiday sales.

[@kimgoodwin8018]

I just found your channel from you tube, I agree with you Purple Ailen is better. Tyfs

[@QuiltedDelights]

@kimgoodwin8018 I am thinking about doing some fussy cutting and making some Polaroid blocks with a few of those aliens.
