Simple Smoothie Time quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 6th in a series to use leftover strips!

[@cagirlmp8721]

I absolutely love this series! Not only is it scrappy quilting which is my favorite, but the patterns are simple and relatively quick and easy sewing! I will be sad if the strip buckets ever become empty. 😂

[@ms.m2054]

These are my favorite videos! I look forward to each one and then rewatch them. Keep it up PLEASE.

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you 😁

[@makeitsew29]

You have the sweetest voice that makes your videos so enjoyable in addition to the creation of some amazing quilts!

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@sandramyer7081]

I agree! Easy to understand and not too fast! Great!

[@marveldonovan5425]

I love scrap quilts, especially when the scraps are from prior projects. Sewing is a nice walk down memory lane, at least when I remember the projects previously made. Plus, I don’t feel any pressure to sew perfect. Good enough is good enough. And the end results are always great!!! Thanks for sharing a scrappy quilt passion.

[@KristinaHoneyHavenFarm]

I am loving your strip series. I love seeing someone working with their own scrap pile and not just precut sets of strips or squares that already match. I have lots of scraps to use up before I allow myself to buy any more fabric. I also like that you are working with pins; I was starting to feel like I was the only person who still sewed with pins rather than clips.

[@sherenelochner]

Glad you are doing these tutorials on the strips!

I love watching this , great teach and idea , we're you watching from?

[@isewalot1234]

I just love this series! Great use of scraps, thanks for sharing all your good ideas. I don’t have nearly as many 2 1/2” strips as you do, but these videos make me wish I did. You are welcome to send me some of yours lol.

I just found your series. It took me less than a couple minutes to tell myself that your machine was a bernina, and y😮es, it was a model I either currently had or one I owned. These days, I am down to 3 models, my bernina, a juki tl-2010q, and a babylock destiny. I am starting from the back, lol. Thanks for the memories.

[@lisaneff9024]

They look fabulous. I love the border on the Christmas one.

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

I agree...the border is perfect.

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

On the Halloween quilt, I love the fabric that is black with large green dots...makes it look like some eyes peering out between the other fabrics.

[@thequiltedforest]

Thanks so much! 😊

GASP! That’s exactly what my stash would look like if I let it loose.

I have loved this series!!!! Maybe in the future use some 5” scrappy quilts.

​@@thequiltedforestmaybe she thinks about 5" strips? Simply squares, I assume, would work the best.

I am enjoying this series so much. Your work is incredible. I have loved everything you have done so far. Although I do not have anywhere near the amount of 2 1/2” scraps you have I still find this series so interesting and I have saved every video so far. Thank you for doing this.

Thank you I've have a lot of scraps that I will be using now for a quilt.. your's was beautiful..

[@angieallen4884]

I took up pieceing and quilting after 40 years about 3 or 4 years ago. The internet and creators like you have been truly inspiring; but, one thing I figured out is that I really didn't want to have buckets and buckets of "spare parts!" So, I have been pretty careful about patterns that use up as much of the fabric as possible. Evenso, I still have lots of stuff left over, so am looking forward to implementing your great ideas for using it all up! Thanks for great content!

I’m making a quilt by Pat Sloan Scrappy Happy Little Wishes that has 2 1/2” squares in a 9 patch in the centre of stars. I have cut lots of the extra fabric from projects into 3 1/2 and 2 1/2” squares. The 2 1/2” squares I use as leaders and Enders for all my projects putting dark and light pieces together. I had piles of these and have been able to use them in this quilt pattern!!!!
