Simple Quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! First in a series of scrappy projects to use your stash!

[@philliperay9157]

I'm 83 and have TONS of scraps. But I make any size little blankets and donate them to my local animal shelters, I can't take my fabric stash with me so I'm making random style quilts. Besides the animals don't complain. Besides now they have something that belongs to them. Use towels as batting. They will love you for it.

[@reesegilbert]

Thank you for doing that. ❤

[@szelop]

I also make kennel quilts for rescue groups! I love making them!

[@lokimajik2006]

I was just thinking of trying to use towels as batting on my small quilts. I have the same issue, lots of fabric I inherited from my mom. She decided she's going to retire from sewing and gave me all her sewing machines, notions, scraps and fabric. I've been sewing 4 years now and have not made a dent lol.

[@vickianderson1324]

Trying to get enough scraps

[@NotAsItSeems]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

I think a scrappy quilt using shades of autumn leaves would be beautiful.

[@mayastephens7793]

I LOVE the part about not overthinking what pieces are sewn together. That’s where I get hung up! Just grab and sew! Your finished work looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@FayreeenAarow]

That’s a wonderful idea to make little blankets for the animals. They sure can use them help them to be a little bit more comfortable and they’re quarantine. However, we like to make lap quilts for the seniors. We try to donate them at the nursing home. We thought we do some red, white and blue for veterans … I do mostly… patchwork for the seniors. The nine patches seems to be a favorite …it’s easy and fast, and fun. They seem to really enjoy it….. and it’s also very appreciated!

[@judychristensen7579]

This is an awesome idea to use up my tubs of scraps. Thank you for your ideas.

[@JudyGatling-y5v]

Wow! All those strips & your fast methods turned into a gorgeous quilt! Love the cool colors, my favorite type of colors! 💙🤍💜

[@lindamcclelland9153]

Pink, orange, yellow, coral

[@debcavan]

Wow, that is an accumulation of strips. I have loved your series of these videos. This one is gorgeous. By keeping a color palette you made it look like a well planned quilt. I love it. I do love pure scrappy too.

[@arashid3989]

Great job. I am going to do the same thing. ❤thank you so much

[@sandypattison8486]

I really like the color palette.

[@AudreyAL6]

I am excited about this series I appreciate you talking during the video so many people don’t talk just play music By talking you bring so much more to your videos Thanks

[@soshesews9117]

Ha! I am sitting here with a big tub and bag full of 2 1/2” strips wondering what to do with them. Now I know. Thank you for the video.

[@Kitty-kitty297]

I on purpose only make scrappy quilt, so I love seeing videos like this

[@rimmon24]

all mine are crumb or scrappy...i love it....

[@suelee6543]

I've been quilting about 20+ years, and I would say that I really don't like scraps. So I have just been throwing scraps in bins. Finally, I decided I needed to clean up. I've been cutting 5in and 2.5 in strips and squares since March. I figured I had about 4 bins, and then it looked like 8 bins like yours. Now I think am Almost coming to the end at about twice that, I have a few more bins to go. I am never going to let my scraps get so far away from me. Thank you for the inspiration for using up all those scraps! I😊

[@juliaprice-i4l]

@@rimmon24 Me too!

[@M-hc9xm]

It's a good thing I like scrappy quilts, this one is a great idea. I am using my cotton scraps from years of sewing to make 6x6 blocks of different scrap block ideas. When I get enough, they'll become a quilt.

[@tlfamily1]

Idea: I'd love to see an idea for Xmas scraps.

[@christinebyrnes3164]

The little bits at the end would be great to add in to stuff pillows or soft toys. Great video 👍

[@lynnkraus6715]

Great video. So clear. Color suggestion: what I call 'juicy' - orange, yellow, green, and I throw in some raspberry for the punch of color.

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

I really like your quilt. It’s beautiful.💗

[@SC-hj3hr]

I've just watched this again. It's a shame I can't give another thumb up. 👍 I'm re-enjoying the series. Thanks🥳

[@bevtooth]

That thread cutter is so good ❤

[@rosincox9799]

I enjoyed this tutorial .No endless chatter .The whole video was pecise and to the point .Beautiful end results .Subscribed .

[@linhdasagen6498]

100% Endless chatter channels...I zone out.

[@margaretaogurkow1114]

I have leaned a lots thank you for smart sewing I ove all your saving time quilting

[@carmenfelts2125]

You saved me from insanity! I have been a quilter for 30yrs. You can imagine how many buckets of scraps I have collected. I saved them to make a scrappy quilt someday, but until now I didn’t know where to begin. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I look forward to the next project ❤

[@thequiltedforest]

You are so welcome!

[@margaretswann3634]

I really enjoyed your video and way of teaching. I am new to quilting. The donated fabric scraps I was given I quilt together into totes and purses. I take half the money I receive and buy broad cloth solid colors with to to make the backing for scrappy quilts. I then give those quilts to the homeless shelter nearby. I live in Mississippi, and between the hurricanes and tornados, many people of all walks of life find themselves in a shelter. The workers see my truck and cone out eagerly to help me unload. It is contagious to give to others. I'll try your scrappy quilt suggestion. I subscribed so I can learn more from you.

[@katehenry2718]

Beds sheet sets from resale and estate sales make fab backings at nearly free prices.

[@FayreeenAarow]

God bless your heart sweetie❤❤❤ that is so unselfish of you. What a pure heart and a pure soul you have, thank the Lord.❤ you’re a treasure❤❤❤❤

[@JesusisKing222]

I, too, am new to your channel! These random scrappy projects are so liberating some how! Not to mention, all I’ve got time and brain space for at the moment! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@marciabrown3148]

I love scrappy projects, especially smaller ones.

[@karenstclair3725]

I am one of those people who has trouble sewing random strips or squares together. You are so right that it takes a lot of time to not be random!! I am tryin this technique with my strips! Thanks for making it look easy to randomly come up with something lovely if you keep the color palette small. Can't wait to see more of your ideas!

[@NanaKathy47]

I've been quilting for over 20 years and I don't even have half a bucket of scraps, much less enough 2.5" strips. (I don't buy pre-cuts.) but I like this so well, I am considering cutting one strip off of each of my yardage pieces just to have enough. Thanks for the idea.

[@patricialock3110]

Have lots of scraps, this quilt using these strips is just what I needed, thank you.

[@pockycho]

This is a friendly, eco way quilt for beginner. You have shown the easiest way how to sew it. Simple and comprehensive. Thank you.

[@LoisAnderson-p5v]

I have miles of scraps, thank you for this video. Now I know what to do with my scraps. Your quilt is beautiful.

[@lindapoe4124]

I too enjoyed this tutorial. Never even thought about making a scrappy quilt, but after watching you make this one I am hooked!

[@heikeschindewolf475]

Wonderful video - wonderful project! Thanks a lot! Subscribed 😊

[@joantabb3062]

Fantastic!!! I make scrappy quilts for charity, Foster kids. Each month I choice a different theme. August is 2 1/2" strips. You have given me some good ideas. I look forward to more videos. 👍👍👍

[@onaglassford8942]

Thanks for the great idea using up scrapes. Maybe now me scrap hamper will almost empty .😊❤

[@chelseagradney3341]

Wow. That looks great. Your technique would make a great border. Also, getting out of your comfort zone is a great idea. I am referring to the paper bag method. The whole idea of quilting comes from using leftovers. Thank you for sharing.

[@mariettemiller7654]

Love this technique. Just finished my third quilt using this method. Thanks for the great technique 😊

[@judyhotmer2470]

I sure enjoyed your scrap busting project. I have more 2 1/2" strips than I thought and this is be perfect for me to use for Project Linus charity quilts. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more!

[@sheilakethley5351]

I’d love to see red/orange/yellow, as I’m stuck in a life long blue green rut! I love this quilt!

[@KumaSews]

Ahhh… I feel like I can join you in making something with ALL those scraps I’ve been saving! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@renestovall9226]

Very nice and a calming color palette😊

[@pamatt73]

I am so glad I found this so I can use up my scrape pieces I’m 69 and retired so I’m getting back to sewing❤❤❤

[@debrayakel2447]

Wow! I thought I had a lot of scraps!🤪 Great video by the way 👍

[@marshawallace7522]

I too prefer "planned scrappy" quilts. I love the blues and greens that you used in this quilt. I might do a similar project sewing 4 or more strips together allowing me to cut larger squares so I have fewer seams. I look forward to your next tutorial.

[@scenicrouteart]

Super cute! Thanks!

[@jeannereinisch114]

That quilt is very pretty…the dark going through it makes it POP

[@judithparis68]

Liked the quilt

[@stitchann]

Love the blues and greens, so cool and calming. Can't wait for next month.

[@marienewman7441]

I’m looking forward to following and doing a quilt each month. Thank you.

[@bethcook7102]

Man I wish there was a LOVE button for this!! What a great idea. Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@aliciawilliams8740]

I really like your method of making the quilt. I made one also.

[@thequiltedforest]

You are so welcome

[@debbieekes5718]

I really need ideas to use up my scraps. Thank you for doing this series. Mindless sewing is my preferred quilting these days. This is right up my alley.

[@malindazemrose]

Nice ,thank you.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Mindless sewing is Great! No stress, just sewing. End result: a gorgeous Quilt that you will always Love 😊

[@ironrose888]

I’m learning about how to do scrappy. I have always been a fan of everything matching and I’m moving a little more out of my comfort zone. 😊

[@gaylaroof612]

I love scrappy! I have a container of lights, & one of mediums/darks. I pull one from light container, & one from med/dk container, sew'em together, & repeat. That's the easiest for me. If you wanted, you could use a container for each...lt/dk/med.

[@michelepuluti7807]

Very nice! I like using scraps to create a nice project! Great idea!

[@auntiezann5146]

Blues and greens are some of my favorites! And minimal math! It’s a winner!

[@donnastjules8157]

It turned out really nice. Who would have thought that all those scraps would become such a nice quilt!

[@kathrynamador7652]

❤

[@susanmckenney2465]

Scrappy quilts are my favorite no matter what the era or pattern. Scrap bin is overflowing - time to just do it! Amazing video. Thanks!

[@zenaduran2371]

Love how the colors look beautiful together ❤️ the little scraps make GREAT pillow stuffing. I just made 2 pillows and added some essence oils that will offer a nice aroma in the room Thanks for sharing 👍

[@ibbyd7874]

All kinds of great tips!

[@jessicamartindale2926]

Love the final products!! We call the last bits "crumbs". Crumbs are great for stuffing dog beds. Thank you for sharing.

[@cindymckenna9910]

An idea I have for the crumbs is to use mod podge and glue the crumbs onto a painting canvas to make an abstract art piece.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

​@cindymckenna9910 Great idea! I'm an Artist (painter) that also quilts. This is a fabulous idea. Hmmm, my brain just went into overdrive: paint and fabric combined on a canvas!!?!! Thank you for the inspiration! ❤

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Wowzers, those are serious scrap buckets… 😮😂🧵🪡✂️👍🏻💕

[@maureenhebert7673]

This is excellent! I’m in the process of organizing all my scraps and by the end I think I’ll have enough scraps for 100 quilts!! Omg it’s ridiculous. This makes it seem doable to make a bunch

[@goatladygletha792]

It's beautiful! I love it!❤

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindaoctavio734]

I love that you used every bit of fabric! Beautiful!

You have such a pleasant voice for this! Also love your quilt!

Thank you! 😊

[@celieaguayo9000]

I absolutely love that blue and green. Those are like my two favorite colors was beautiful. Nice job using up your scraps.!!

[@judithburke1539]

I also like that she used black as an accent color! It really added a richness to all the other colors.

[@michelepierce4454]

Blue and green are my favorite colors together

[@malusantos1551]

Very clever way of using left over fabrics. Thank you for showing us how to do it. 👏🏻💕

Nice job! Love the advice to use a paper bag if overthinking is involved; great tip. Looking forward to next month's offering. Thank you!

[@lawandaweiss1193]

Love that little green cutter. That is cool.

[@thequiltedforest]

I love it!

[@judithcordell1139]

I loved this. Simple but very easy with pleasing results.

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Love your video. The baskets full of scraps makes me happy because we know the potential. Great quilt

[@nancyceci2576]

Wonderful inspiration. Choosing the right colorways is a great way to get started. Looks much nicer than just sewing miscellaneous strips together.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Yes. A somewhat planned color scheme looks more purposeful/cohesive. However, I also Love total scrappiness with white, or very dark sashing/background. The possibilities are endless ❤

[@sherryscreativeniche1858]

I LOVE this idea!!!!!

[@kathleenmorgan3933]

That was amazing , a quilt worthy of any bed, most impressed

[@agathagiesbrecht3529]

Wow i just came across your videos I love this kind of quilting. ❤.

[@sandracampbell548]

Thanks for this. I'm a beginner and was put off with all the tiny pieces that had to be cut and sewn, now this is great. Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou 😊

So glad that I have found you. Such a great tutorial and I love your to the point teaching method. I have subscribed and look forward to watching more and getting some great ideas. Thank you.

[@delaynec]

Love it! Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[@Lorij83]

I love scrap quilts. I made a pouf and stuffed it with my little scraps that wouldn’t be used for anything else. It is heavy and pretty stable.

[@findjoy13]

I always save those last tiny pieces into a bag and use later for stuffing when I make floor pouf cushions for my classroom! Thanks for making this playlist. My scrap bins will be used up, yay!

[@rollyb1890]

That so sew much fun to watch. 😍🧵

[@joanndavenport8580]

I love the tool you used for cutting the chained pieces apart. Love the finished pieces.

[@joannamartin7641]

What was the cutting tool called?

[@bhquilter]

It's called Blade Saver. Put a used rotary blade inside.

[@maryalegado3036]

Your voice and sound are just great. Very clear and concise. Thank you!

[@patriciacclark7563]

What a wonderful way to sew up those strips. I sew for a group that donates quilts to needy groups. Thank you so much for this idea. Love it.

Me encanta verte trabajar así en serie podes subir más videos graciasss¡¡¡¡❤❤❤😊

[@swalker7900]

What a great idea to both use up scraps and to produce a unique but easy charity quilt. Looking forward to viewing your upcoming projects.

[@annienichols-z2h]

I enjoy watching the quilts

[@rhonda8231]

It came out so pretty. I just love it.... I am awestruck at how many strips you have. That is a crazy amount. It didn't seem like you had enough to make a quilt. I am just amazed at people who can make scrappy quilts. They turn out so beautiful, I am too obsessive to make them personally. I wish I could do that.

[@teresabaez6925]

Hola ,me pasa lo mismo que a ti, me complicó mucho con los diseños, y así rudimentarios quedan hermosos 😊

[@villagesteader3552]

I will admit…scrappy is impossible for me! I will have to try the paper bag method. Love it!♥️👍

[@judyl.6550]

That is a beautiful quilt!

[@omisfavorites1054]

Love your “hand over hand” method! Brilliant - never thought of it!
