Thanks for taking time to recreate this pattern. Potato chip blocks are great when you have a lot of the same size scraps. But this pattern is great for all the different sizes of strips that I don't want to waste. I always look forward to your Monday videos and your honest opinions.

[@mahlemade]

I’ve watched this video several times- bought the pattern (thanks for making that available)! Today I started clearing out some overflowing scrap boxes- will start cutting tomorrow. I’m so excited. I have dreamt of making this quilt!

[@margie6534]

You have some of the best suggestions on how to quilt efficiently--reminds me of my Mom. The World's Greatest Scrap Quilt is lovely.

[@papercents]

This is a fantastic pattern to be released on Earth Day 2024 -- What beautiful quilts you've made - sewing with scraps makes me so very happy! Thank you Maureen for your detailed explanation and for writing up the pattern too ! Great video!

[@celesteac]

Made this quilt several times in several sizes and I agree it's the best. Although I didn't need the pattern because your video instructions are so great... I just bought it and another to support you. You were so patient waiting for the other pattern writer.. it really is a great use of scraps!! Thanks you for the idea!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

Thank you so much. Very kind of you.

[@michele6708]

I love that you have so many examples of how different “controlled” scrappy color ways work out in this quilt. I am currently using up a bunch of scraps in a somewhat controlled scrappy “plus” quilt. Each square has 20 4 patches made from 2” squares and 3.5” squares that form the plus. I sew the 4 patches as leaders and enders so it is a “scrap time” quilt as well!

[@dannamcgowen3889]

This is definitely a great scrap buster! Thank you, Maureen!

[@sweetcake405]

My scraps seam to multiply!, this is an awesome use of fabric. for me the scrapier, the better, thank you for doing the pattern for us.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

This really is the BEST scrappy quilt! Makes it easy to cut from our scrap bins of strips and squares! Excellent detail of combining colors and your recreation and detailed instructions are the BEST Maureen! Thank you! Thank you💕🧵

[@saravis56]

I love a quilt that makes my head explode. Super scrappy.

[@karenwhitley7211]

Thanks for the Aurafil info.

[@noplacelikehome9116]

Yep, I gave in to temptation and bought the pattern. Thanks for making it reasonably priced. That means a lot. Have a wonderful day!

I love this block. Scrappy is my favorite quilt to make. Thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

Great scrap pattern. Thank you.

[@bethkoch11]

I've loved this pattern since you first demo'd it. Back then I took a screen shot and jotted down the measurements, but it's so much better to have the actual pattern! Between this and the Potato Chip block, and my HUGE bin of scraps, I can keep busy for a long time.

[@Buffy_Summers_Sunnydale]

Thank you for your hard work. The pattern is the perfect scrap quilt!

[@NolaTheAlamoChiliQueen]

Thank you for the tip regarding the Aurafil thread!

[@C123abc]

Thank you! I love this pattern and was wondering how to get a balanced look with it. Your directions for cutting a block at a time were fantastic. Seems so simple now :)

[@bsquared9647]

I'm not a quilter (yet), but I found these quilts mesmerizing. The purple sashing absolutely MAKES "exploding-head" quilt! Beautiful! I am making a small Kiwandi of colorful coordinated fabrics, and I needed to hear (and see) how important solid colors are to scrappy projects. Thank you!

[@anjamaas7140]

This is great scrapbuster! Thank you for sharing!

[@IRISHLASS273]

Maureen, your quilts are exactly what comes to mind when I think of scrap quilts. I saw RR designs trash quilt. Didn't like the block when she first made it but when she ironed it and squared it up I really liked it. She used every shape size and colour.

[@adelewere8733]

Love the simplicity of this quilt. Thank you for your video.

[@sharonkulick7307]

Beautiful scrap quilts!

[@rosiewesterhold9340]

LOVE this pattern. Have SOOO many scraps, and this will help use up lots of 2.5” pieces as well as 2” pieces. WooHoo!! Off to start sub-cutting things🙌🙌

[@MsAmberSunshine]

Just amazingly beautiful scrappy quilts. Love them all.

[@jacalynstaten5607]

That was a great suggestion from Last week to cut the triangles and fit them eliminating waste. I know most quilters don’t want to waste fabric so we need pattern makers to design smarter. The landfills are overloaded with fabric.

[@lauragreer5240]

Great way to use scraps! ❤❤

[@debbiebraatz1919]

Thanks for doing this pattern up. I save all three of these width of strips. Course I have mostly 2 1/2 size, but now I can raid my scrap strip drawers ❤

[@peggygunderson5578]

Great scrap buster

[@debbiewood2675]

Thanks for the tip on aurfil thread and finding the end. I had no idea the bottom came off.

Love the green and purple. TBH, I love the smaller cut used in the,brown. A great yellow is difficult to find😮

[@lorihamby60]

I just purchased your pattern and am excited to start using my scraps. I am making quilts for my great nieces and nephews as they graduate from high school so this pattern is perfect! I really enjoyed today’s video. Thank you so much.

[@janrichardson8331]

[@stitchinginthebarn8307]

Thank you for sharing this quilt! I have 2.5 inch scrap strips, plus more, that will work great in this quilt! I love the purple and green one. It looks like a field of flowers. I think I'm going to need to curate a pile of scraps to make one like that. I subscribed today & look forward to watching your videos and your opinions. Have a great day!

[@sharonwilson929]

Why not strip piece and make your sub cuts? It would be less cutting and sewing. I realize some scraps may be too small. The 4 2 1/2" you could strip piece

[@CindyOgilvie]

I'm making my first 'scrappy' table runner using fat quarters (newish quilter so no real scrap stash). I'm driving myself crazy trying to keep the same fabrics from touching each other. Am I just making this too hard? Your scrap quilt is beautiful!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

Congrats to you Cindy!💕🧵

[@DH-qz2so]

There is a ton of time and effort, sewing quilts and projects... your frustration is a super easy fix - buy more fabric! You can purchase budget friendly fabrics at thrift store, Micheal's with a coupon, or Walmart to add in to your FQ bundle... if the touching of same fabrics is bugging you, it will still bug you when you are done the project., and you will not use it, and it will end up in the Donation Bin box! Ask me how I know! Even just 2 -3 more FQ's will help to alleviate the problem, for very little cost!

[@theopinionatedquilter]

When I have issues with same fabrics touching rather than try to do random I try to do a pattern. I will make up a sample and show it in the next video. Next Mondays has already been filmed so it will be the following week. Thanks for watching and thank you for your kind words.

[@RoseWaddell-jj7oe]

I have two questions. First, how many yards is on the Aurafil thread? Do you sell Scrap bags from your shop?

[@theopinionatedquilter]

There are different size spools and different weights. The heavier weights have less on than the lighter weights. The 50wt. piecing thread that we use has 220 yards on the small spool, 1422 yards on the large spool and 6452on the cone. We tried selling scrap bags in the store and it was unsuccessful so currently we don't. If you would like me to make one for you, email me at [e-mail] and we can work something out for you. Thank you for watching my channel.

[@pattweimer9268]

Your scrapoy q's are great...BUT, I did 1 q scrapy...HATED IT, & it was colourway planned. To random, too kayotic, just too!!! I through it in garbage... done! The closet I can manage to scrappy is 9 patches from leftovers. I make maybe 10 of tops a yr, maybe more. My best friend of 50 yrs, can make amazing scrappies with her eyes closed!!! We have laughed about my "disgrace " many times. Colour planning for me is the easiest part of quilting. I can match to a fabric I bought 10 yrs ago with several others over the yrs, 1 at a time. Don't even have the original with me. It just happens & is so easy. But NO scraps unless curated first. Keep encourging quilters to explore all alternatives in their journey.
