Simple Strip HST block quilt using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 8th in our series to use leftover strips!

[@Gale4health]

I appreciate your lack of music and not trying to fill spaces with talking. Nice tutorial!

[@DipsyDoodleDaisy]

Yes! Yes! And YES!!

[@kristitilson2808]

I agree! Background music drives me nuts!

[@LottieSue]

Amen to that! I often speed up the videos so music sound horrible.

[@PYN111]

Couldn’t agree more!! Thank you!

[@margaretlaing4054]

What size is the blocks

[@AvivaHadas]

I can't wait to see what you do with the dark strips on the top of that bucket. (This is "the best" quilting series on KZbin.)

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you sew much!

[@jenniferours1684]

Your videos are a pleasure to watch and to listen to. Thanks for all the great tips.

[@mariejohns1387]

Love this! Looking forward to the next scrappy strip quilt. Thanks!

[@amyabraham2056]

I am loving the strip ideas you are giving us- thank you for all of the inspiration!!

[@katherinem7835]

I like watching you do something with all the 2.5 inch pieces. 😊

[@cynthiaratliff2055]

I wait every month for this series (and your patriotic block of the month) to come out. Love your ideas! 😊

[@Allegra9898]

This series is so cool! I love seeing the whole process, from scraps to quilt.

[@brontebenoit6181]

It’s like magic! You began with leftover strips, sewed them randomly together, made them into half square triangles, sewed them into rows, and finished with a lovely quilt top. All from leftover strips! Now that’s what I would call excellent fabric management. Well done!

[@kmhollifield1983]

I am enthralled with this series! It just keeps getting better. When you use up all these strips, unlike you, I am really going to miss this amazing flow of 2 1/2” scrap strip ideas. Thank you so much for sharing all these ideas!

[@Auntie7024]

This series is great. Your baby quilt turned out so sweet. I love it! You are doing a great job with your scraps. 😊

[@kmdamron1]

Always look forward to the new edition

[@CarolLCurry]

For all who don't care for music, remember you do have a mute button on your phone and a closed caption button on the tutorial. Please consider this sweet lady's efforts in providing an excellent tutorial and use options available to you to customize to your liking. I don't want her to be discouraged by negativity and stop making these videos. I learn so much from her!

[@thequiltedforest]

Thanks for that!

[@CarolLCurry]

@@thequiltedforest you are welcome!

[@janbfred]

Well said! Negative comments are disrespectful.

Mute button cuts the dialog too. (((

Thanks for sharing love the quilt

[@amybiblewski6038]

What a great pattern. Looks complicated but easy HSTs. I hope you never run out of 2.5" squares - I love these videos.

[@sallyteichert5182]

Me too

[@deborahkeith6354]

Yes! Love them!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

What I find so cool about quilting is that you can make really cool or complicated looking things but it’s just color choice and placement with simple blocks that trick your eye

What a great way to use fabric strips! I think this is a wonderful block to make Community Service Quilts! Thank you. By the way, your voice is so calming and non irritating. It’s a pleasure to listen to your tutorials!

[@manuelashannon1369]

I’m really enjoying your series. Thank for doing this.

Thank you for quilting sustainably and for your style of videos that make it easy to learn from! ❤

[@thequiltedforest]

Thanks for watching!

[@cherylgates7848]

woo hoo! Down a bucket! I love this series! Thanks for sharing.

[@dorothyyoung8231]

If you press your HSTs before you press them open, you only have to trim two sides rather than all four! Great pattern and great technique.

[@sheilacarroll7143]

BEAUTIFUL! 😍 I'm sure the baby (and parents) will absolutely love it! 💖 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦋

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

I too love this series. Great use of 2 1\2 in strips. Thanks

[@debnadeau1924]

I’ve made several quilts and used lots of scraps following this series! Thank you!!

[@JaniceCahill-w6k]

I am loving this series!! So many good ideas. Now I just have to get busy. 😂😂

[@gammarosemary]

So glad you have been able to make another tutorial in this series. I am really enjoying these videos and love the patterns you have chosen.

[@diannerippon7349]

What a wonderful happy quilt. Your instructions are very clear & easy to follow.

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you so much!

[@marilynlautner2454]

I like your matter of fact approach to using scraps!

[@jonnaosborne1832]

I was so excited to watch this video yesterday evening, so when I got in bed for the night, I pulled it up on my phone and started watching. But after a few minutes, your voice, the strips being sewn together, and the light background music just lulled me right to sleep. 😴😴😴 Sweet dreams! So, tonight I watched it on my desktop, and thoroughly enjoyed the WHOLE thing! Thanks for the very nice video. I really like your style of videos, where you do the narration over the video, with just light music in the background. And I like how your explanations are clear and concise, and the videos are so well edited, there is not a lot of extra chatting, interruptions, or hemming and hawing. Very well done videos! 🤩

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you so much! Happy Quilting!

[@debraholmes6290]

Love, LOVE, LOVE your videos❤❤ Thank you‼️

[@thequiltedforest]

You are so welcome!

[@JoyHarper-fq6zh]

I love watching your videos--slow enough to see what is happening, but fast enough so as not to get bored. And I really appreciate your streamlining techniques! That's the way I sew as well!

[@angieallen4884]

This is a fun pattern. I am always amazed that even scrap quilts beget more scraps; kinda like tribbles! Great content; thank you!

[@thequiltedforest]

Thanks for watching!

[@nancyshaner8548]

loved this quilt. great idea for scraps.

[@PatchworkSchoolhouse]

Such a great use of scrap strips! A quick tip I use to make sewing rows together is: get that top seam to point up & the bottom one down to nest them that first set of rows, so much easier! Hope that helps someone out there in KZbin land 😎.

[@cherylbrown4058]

Love this one…and watching those scrap buckets go down. It gives me hope dealing with my own.

[@markiecrossmandixon7343]

Oh so pretty. Thank you for the inspiration. I like the idea of using it for a baby quilt size- I think my eyes would go buggy on a queen sized!

[@rochellerule8854]

It is gorgeous, baby might not be aware of how beautiful her blanket is. However the parents will forever treasure it, and appreciate the effort that you put into making this for their baby! 💞

[@roseanderson4928]

Nice job! What a cute quilt - especially if the baby is a spring baby.

[@lindadalton2668]

That baby will love it when she’s a teenager. It beautiful

[@lulusrealm804]

This one is my favorite to watch. I’d love to see you do other color way’s with this pattern.

[@patricecrump6532]

Just found your series and love it! Now to go back and binge from the beginning. I really can't wait! Woot!!

[@sharondina4514]

Another great idea!! I love your "leftover 2 1\2" strips" series!

[@judyrogers2802]

I also appreciated your lack of music...I find music distracting In a tutorial. I enjoyed your instruction. Th anx!

[@laliemode1884]

Ditto! Ditto!

[@hallieemmons9453]

Same here! I'm hearing impaired and the background music really makes it hard for me.

[@kmhollifield1983]

This is the best quilting project playlist bar none I have ever seen. Wonderfully useful! So down to earth and practical! Camera work is simply spot on - not slick but a best friend’s careful tutorial showing just what you need. And your voice is soothing and encouraging at the same time. I could go on and on. I never tire of watching this series and keep it on lately while I work on all my charity top building patchwork of all kinds. Huge thanks. Wish I lived close enough for a day trip. You deserve huge hugs!

[@thequiltedforest]

Thank you so much!

[@JackieDannenberg]

Watching you do the sewing, etc. is very calming and relaxing as much as doing it myself. Thanks for sharing ! From Snowbound In The “Sunny South”.

[@MonaDidWhat]

I love using strips. There’s so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing

[@retiredandpreppingquilting2350]

That is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@geriwatson3957]

what a great way to recycle scraps. Years ago a friend of mine retreated then boxes of material that was going to the dump. Ten boxes had all been dumped. There are so many clothes that could be recycled. One of my projects with my material that was given me, I made 13 Pillow cases to a needy family of six.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

Ooof that hurts my hoarding tendencies. I think there should be a section of stained and ripped clothing in thrift stores for sewers and crafters. We’re going to cut it up anyway

[@judy.hardgrave1743]

I love your tutorials. Explained very well and the details are great. Visuals are great. You are an excellent instructor. Thank you 😊

This was very enlightening! I really like the way you put the strips and blocks together with a relaxed attitude! The consistent background really brought it all together! Lucky little girl! I know she will love it…right now she will love the feel of the backing!

[@lynnscroggins7104]

You have the best videos! I love that you share how to use our scraps! I remember when I first started quilting and thought I will never get enough scraps to make something…boy was I wrong! So thankful for your videos and ideas to clean out my scrap collection!

[@MariaAGuerraCook-ok5zd]

WONDERFUL, I LOVE YOUR TUTORIAL!

[@proud2bktsmama]

I just found your scrappy quilting series, and I am really enjoying them. It's my favorite kind of quilting.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Since I have stitched many of these 3 in 1 strip sets, I prefer to not cut them apart until both side of the center line are sewn. Then, I cut them apart. Oh, it may save 2 minutes, but I don't have to pick up & position another square set every time. This pre ents th I se extra shoulder/arm movements & my eyes get tired at 70+ years young. Beautiful colors and quiet background chosen! Don't forget to label the finished quilted piece!

[@brendamanci3807]

I made this one and gave to my granddaughter. She loved it. Turned out very well. Your instructions are very good. Measurements are always accurate, which is mot the case in some other peoples videos. Thank you so very much and my granddaughter thanks you.

[@Carylanne927]

I don't think I have ever watched this channel until this afternoon, however, I have subscribed now to see what all you have in mind for the strips. I did like seeing the way you did your row block pressing, as I too don't pre press anymore. I found I was going back to press again too often. Of course I mean in a unplanned ( anything goes) pattern. Thanks sew much. new to you from Texas.

[@bratmamma]

You are a great teacher. Love the videos.

[@iaragarcia6993]

Hi. I love this great idea to make a baby quilt. I've been using up my 2.5 inch strips since I started watching your channel....and now finally i can see progress in my shoe boxes of strips. I ''ve made several scrappy quilts. Thanks so much for your inspiration ! Why store my scraps?? Now I have several lovely quilt tops from my scraps. My favorite one was using up my crumbs and making 12.5 inch squares from tiny pieces sewn together. I'll send a picture when I get that one quilted. Keep up the great work!!!
