SIMPLE QUILT AS YOU GO METHOD using 2 1/2 inch strips to create a lap sized or baby quilt!

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

My, my, I just don't have the time to make all the awesome quilts you have been making. But my want to wants to 😂

Such a good dimension for wheelchair quilts. So great for donating to nursing homes!

So cute! I need to make a baby quilt for a new great nephew. He is due in February, so I have a bit of time. I hope I have enough blue in my stash. Thanks so much for this video.

[@ladonnaradney3466]

If not, use the blues as your focus color and fill with a lot of neutrals. It'll be beautiful, and he'll love to snuggle with it

[@rosinyberg8747]

FINALLY… something I can make with my Homespun!!!!!! Thank you

[@sheilafruge60]

@@rosinyberg8747 I ordered the fall kit . I’m going to appliqué some pumpkins, leaves etc on it

[@nzshauna3680]

I’ve really enjoyed this series! When you first showed all the buckets I wondered if you were crazy to have amassed so many strips, but then we saw your store (which I would love to shop at) and your production rate!! Your efficiency is inspiring and you have so many tips it’s been very worthwhile watching the whole series.

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you so much!

[@NJGardengirl1961]

This is so fun and easy for a beginner like me. I think doing an easy quilt like this while doing a challenging quilt is a nice break. Thanks for this!❤

[@deloresrast8543]

Great project!!!! Love your quilts!!!!

[@jenihansen7201]

This is a great tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@wilycat5290]

Really cute quilt 🥰. Thank you for the video 😊

[@cathyayers3988]

This is the only way I make quilts. I watched a tutorial for a table runner from someone years ago. I figured out how to just enlarge everything to make a quilt.

[@suehorn4182]

How big have you made? Do you use wider strips? I might try a large throw. Did you use fusible batting?

[@cindyf181]

I have a longarm so feel it necessary to use it. However, if I were without one I would totally do quilt as you go.

[@ladonnaradney3466]

Same here!

[@ladonnaradney3466]

​@suehorn4182 sorry to butt in, but maybe I can help. I look for patterns using smallish blocks that can be assembled in rows (check out her charm packs series!) and treat the assembled rows like strips. Anything that assembles like a 4 or 9-patch works for me, I don't complete the blocks. I sew the components into rows. 4-patch blocks = 2 rows, 9-patch = 3. If I need more quilting density, I crosshatch with alternating corner to corner chevron zig zags. I make only large throw/twin or smaller. They roll & fit my small throated machine.

[@carolg.6838]

Thank you! Great for a baby quilt and so fun with different baby or Christmas or other fabrics. I was also thinking for the trendy quilt coats, you could use this method to make the size of each pattern piece.

[@ladonnaradney3466]

Brilliant!!!

[@mahlemade]

This is a perfect way to make donation quilts! Quick, easy, and I can use my scraps!! Oh happy day…

[@suzannejambon4736]

I just received a Moda Scrap Bag with 24, 2.5 inch strips. This is the perfect project to use those strips. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@krisgraef3230]

The red/white backed quilt, and beautiful prints on front, reminded me of a xmas quilt. 😊

[@gwynwellliver4489]

Great use for random size strips as well. ❤

[@susannenadeau9894]

Fabulous and quick use of my tons of leftover strips! Well done Shelley!

[@marionbartley214]

Thank you for such a easy way to quilt as you go. Also for the easy instructions to follow. I have lots of fabric, and a lot of leftover strips. That would benefit a quilt made this way. Also I like the fact that you're sewing and quilting it at the same time. Looking forward to your next video.

[@maryseaman312]

The fusible batting is a BIG plus!

[@sheilafruge60]

So many of the fabrics from your scrap bins are a trip down memory lane for me . I’ve used quite a few of them over the years and it’s always fun to remember the quilts they were used in

[@amyspanne5629]

And of course, if your scraps are widths other than 2.5", just add them on and the differing widths creates some variety. Good basic pattern.

[@lulusrealm804]

So cute! Love this. Thank you for sharing these fun videos

[@joydalton4987]

[@lisaneff9024]

When trimming I like to leave 1/4” to 1/2” beyond the edge to leave batting that will fill the binding. That way I don’t lose the design into the binding. Also, don’t bother backtacking because you cut it off when trimming.

[@brontebenoit6181]

This is a unique and clever way to construct a quilt very quickly. It could be the Go-To-Quilt for last minute gifts or as a pick me up when you find yourself in a quilting slump. {{ Am I the only one who has slumps? }} 😳😳😳

[@JanetSandberg]

This is so awesome! I am retired and still cannot keep up with you!

[@jannyrosario9720]

I love watching your tutorials, I have the states n my bucket list to make and very much grateful there is not rush in doing the blocks since I'm still collecting the fabric :)

[@jeane.2722]

Love it, thx.

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

I like sewing 2 strips at a time

[@cheryldavis1268]

A great idea.😊 i think I could do a bargello this way? Thank you 😊

[@leeannelange6551]

This would work great for a cuddle blanket, using a cozy flannel for the backing fabric. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@carolynmills513]

So clever. Do you just add to the individual strips to make a bigger quilt?

[@KATZ-y9q]

Something new for me

[@karonwostenholme6533]

❤❤❤

[@earlinemcgahen3931]

you can get quilt clamps to hold the roll as you quilt

[@karenwolter888]

[@melanielincoln4506]

Love this. Did you adjust your stitch length or use your normal?

[@LongmontJeni]

Seems like you could use the Type It Quilt pattern and this method, so the top is a little more interesting.

[@bronwyntaylor7377]

Because I’m learning as I go this would be great.

[@SarahRathjen-hh3kz]

This looks great! If I use a jelly roll, how big does the backing and batting need to be?

[@Lavender0646]

What kind of polyester fusible batting did you use?

[@cherylbrown4058]

Another fun 9ne

[@mrsmcdonald9363]

Could you blend this QAYG pattern with a jelly roll race pattern?

[@kimsappington3885]

I have a 1960 Singer Featherweight 221, can I still do this technique? Is there a walking foot for a machine this old and not computer/electronic in nature?

[@thequiltedforest]

I think there might be. It would be worth looking into that. Good luck and Happy Quilting!

[@szelop]

The Featherweight Shop has them I believe.

[@bella-bee]

Do you get any drag effect from always stitching the same direction on each half of the quilt? I notice despite the walking foot the top strip has grown a bit by the end of the sewing

[@thequiltedforest]

Maybe a little bit, but not a lot

[@mrslincoln5118]

Hi! You mentioned using an iron on batting for this tutorial. May I ask what brand/name? TIA

[@glendahays5377]

[@thequiltedforest]

Yes!

Has anyone tried this technique using smaller or larger strips?

[@1228Rhonda]

I enjoyed the tutorial but got confused at the very end. You started with a beautiful fall fabric but seemed to me to end with a red? I may have got confused but I watched three times.

[@thequiltedforest]

I showed two different versions in 2 different colorways at the end

[@bilbine2284]

Can anybody tell me what "homespun" means? Thank you and greetings from Germany

[@faithwellman6272]

To me, homespun is 100 percent cotton fabric with a looser weave and small imperfections - like it was woven (spun) at home. It usually comes in plaids and other simple designs and muted colors. Hope that helps.❤❤

[@bilbine2284]

@@faithwellman6272 Thank you, that's interesting, I think there's no similar expression for such a fabric in German. 👋☺️
