Simple Type It Quilt pattern using 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 11th in our series to use leftover strips!

Eleventh project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! This pattern was designed for a colorful jelly roll and a white junior jelly roll. Leftover 2 1/2 inch strips in two different colors will also work!
I chose a high contrast between the two colors. The white grunge junior jelly roll and black background multi-color strips look great together! The finished quilt is striking! A subtle difference between the two colors would end up with a much softer finish.
Here is the link to the pattern used in the video, "Type It" by Zen Chic for Moda. This pattern is one of the many Project Jelly Roll patterns they have available online for free!

Stay to the end to see the finished quilt and how I pieced the backing together!
There is also an update on the 2 1/2 inch scrap bucket situation!
I've challenged myself to do a new project each month using only 2 1/2 inch strips from my scrap buckets. I have always saved leftover strips from projects and cut up small leftover fabric from yardage into 2 1/2 inch strips and put them in a bucket for some "future" project . The future is now! It is time to tame the scrap bucket and use up these strips. I'll always have a scrap bucket of strips because I'm constantly adding to it but I want to get it down to just ONE bucket instead of three...make that seven after the "GREAT SORTING"! This series will last until I'm down to one bucket. Let's be honest, it will take at least 2 years to use up enough strips to make a difference! So join me on this project adventure to use up fabric scraps!
If you don't have leftover strips from other projects to make scrappy quilts, cut up fabrics in your stash into 2 1/2" strips to make the project. No stash of fabric? Head to your local quilt shop and buy a jelly roll or some very pretty fabric to cut into strips! Shop owners are more than happy to help you find the perfect fabric, don't be shy, ask for help if you need it!

That is so awesome! I am going to have to live to 125 years old to do all these wonderful quilts!

[@FoD1975]

😂

[@carolynmills513]

Me too

[@susanlamb1484]

There will be a lot of very old quilters in the world who have to stay around to use up all their stash and scraps😂😂

[@brendasweeney2806]

Me too.

[@nmayor8290]

😂❤

[@tangledthreadworks]

"lost it before i used it" oh this is sooo relatable!

[@tiffanycollier54]

I have watched each one of these videos probably several times each!! Love these patterns, and your use of scraps is phenomenal!!

[@charlenemorris6391]

I am always happy to see these videos. Thank you for sharing

[@virginiaminer4574]

I love this series!

[@jkoucheki]

I'm not doing the empty bucket dance! I don't want these videos to stop. I love these videos! I have watched most of them over and over again. Beautiful quilt!

[@brendasweeney2806]

Me too.

[@debmckasson1953]

Me three.

[@peggersf9709]

I too use painters tape at my sewing machine to use as measuring 👍🏻👍🏻. Your quilt turned out beautiful.

[@notesfromleisa-land7893]

A great example where a neutral (and any neutral solid would be great! However, I'm a sucker for high contrast white) and really harmonize different fabrics to create a unified look. Thanks for demonstrating!

[@coreygilles847]

I love the idea of making a meandering river…❤

[@glendahyde871]

I love the scrappiness'. It`s beautiful

[@chriscabana1897]

This is a great series! I can't wait to see your bucket down to one....... but for now that means we have more videos to still come 😉 Yay!👍 Hope you'll follow up with using up leftover charms and layer cake pieces videos 🙏

[@chriscabana1897]

Yay! Just found the Simple Moda Love Charm pack tutorial ❤

[@rosehixon2790]

Very nice. I almost stopped watching the video because I didn’t know what it was going to look like in the end and I was starting to get bored. But then your completion was so fabulous. I was glad I stayed for the whole thing. You were so great to share with us. Thank you.

[@handanteoman2246]

Love watching your 2.5 inch strip series 😀😀❤️

[@chelseagradney3341]

I have been watching this series from the beginning. I love it. I am very jealous of the problem you had which started this series. I have a quilt I made from the same problem. This quilt is modern but made with old ideas.

[@marianmcmichael3783]

I really needed this series. I’m very inspired to use my strips. I’ve made one of the 2-1/2” patterns already using red, white and blue. When you finally get through all the 2-1/2” strips, I’d love a series on leftover 10” squares and 5” squares that go together quickly but beautifully.

[@markiecrossmandixon7343]

She just started a 5 inch charm series!

[@daisy8297]

Absolutely gorgeous, I am going to emulate with all my leftover strips ❤

[@MrChipathenIsMyDoggo]

Yay! I was so happy to see this video pop up!! My favorite series 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@susanwid2099]

Great quilt and even better are all the hints and tips you share! Thank you!

[@elizabethgardner5207]

I love this series even though I don't have lots of scraps. Well everything changed today when an old friend turned up with 10 BOXES of fabric. She is a demon quilter, but they are moving and downsizing, so when I mentioned I was learning to quilt she said she had some scraps for me.😮Thank goodness for your channel. I will finally be able to try your cool designs and work through all this material ❤

[@pamstrong8709]

I love strip quilts. I find it very relaxing sewing time. And watching you do this is very relaxing as well. Thank you for the great pattern too!

[@lynnscroggins7104]

What a nice, quick and easy quilt! Nice way to use up those spare strips!

[@brendahill7596]

Your quilt turned out really nice! An easy way to use 2 1/2 " strips.

[@wilycat5290]

I'll have to watch again, maybe more than once. I love this design and I certainly have enough strips 😂. Thank you for the video 😊

[@Gbratt]

I love this! Yes, imagine making this in greens with blues in the middle. It would truly look like a lake! Thanks!

[@quiltedonia]

Thank you so much for these videos! I especially love your tip on this video on squaring up after it has been quilted.

[@veraweeks8534]

I love these videos using up the 2 1/2” strips

[@donnagraham2802]

I have had this pattern in my book for quite awhile now. Your video has inspired me to actually use it! Really like the contrast of the black and white in your quilt.

[@coolypooley]

This turned out so nice. Love the cats on the back too! Great job!

[@mariaf5474]

This is a fun quilt. I made one similar 2 years ago and had the curving problem. You explained the solution so well. Wish I had had some pointers when I first made it, as the challenges to get it straight and flat discouraged me from making more. But now, I can use your tips and try another. Your Iinstructions are so clear and logical. Thank you!

[@thequiltedforest]

Yay! Good luck to you!

[@newtnoot2794]

The front, backing, and binding play so well together! And changing your thread color as you quilted really made a beautiful result. Cheers!

[@jennie-grannysquarepeg]

Wow, that quilt is striking!! Really enjoying this series of quilting videos.

[@amandaaskew7606]

Another winner!! Thank you! Also, I have the perfect gifted to me strips for this!

[@michelejoos6752]

What a dynamic quilt from scraps!!!! Great idea!!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Wow! That looks like a planned quilt. Very nice, interesting, and pretty. Thank you for another wonderful idea.

[@katherinem7835]

Thanks for another strip quilt. I just love watching these videos.

[@brendaromanuck1280]

This is amazing and such a perfect way to attack those built up left over 2 1/2 inch strips. I just love how you teach and make me feel as if I could tackle any oof your projects. Thanks so much for all the work yo put into your tutorials. They a pleasure to watch.😊

[@juliaraley9563]

So much drama, with such an easy pattern. ❤❤❤

[@Cassandra-..-]

Oh, I made this with a jelly roll of Escargot For It by Hello Lucky for Robert Kaufman and a white jelly roll. It is easier to make than to describe how to make, for sure! So happy to see you make it from scraps.

[@user-tb9rz1eq9y]

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I love the quilt you made. Just lovely ❤️

[@maureenelsey3581]

It looks great, love all the ideas you have come up with

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

I really like that quilt! Such fun!

[@Redshandler]

Hooray~! I love your series, thankyou from Australia.

[@elizabethwhite4653]

I keep cheering you on to get your buckets emptied. Wondering which colored buckets you have left. I’ve enjoyed your series.

[@markiecrossmandixon7343]

Another fun one! I like the idea of making a summery one with sandy tan sides and blue "water" in between. OR grassy sides and appliqued flowers! oye I don't need more UFOs lol. Looking forward to next month!

[@thequiltedforest]

Great idea!

[@melindamckenry6368]

i always look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@dawnplough1458]

I’ve got to give this a try. I have a lot of blue & white strips.

[@allikat1352]

This was a fun one to make. I made it a few years ago for National Sew a Jelly Roll day.

[@lynnepfeffer8039]

Helpful video! I made this quilt before but did not make it the same way you did. Your way was definitely easier!

[@tdriscollch1]

I love this pattern! Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I’d love to try it in blues and sandy colors.

[@annedirks4501]

Love how this turned out. You are very talented.

[@seatleonstella1819]

Love the series and this quilt is so pretty.

[@jeanettewithrow9641]

You made a fun quilt. Thank you ❤

[@debbietrent3857]

Awesome! It’s not beneath me to actually cut strips from yardage to do this!!!! It’s gorgeous 💖

[@dafairygirl86]

I have absolutely adored these videos. And it's given me so many projects I Want to try :D My collection of 2 1/2 in strips is growing, and I've been picking up some jelly rolls too because I love these

I'm totally obsessed with this pattern!! I need to make it soon! I have a Christmas theme in mind for it. Thanks for this video, it helped a lot.

[@LitlPoot]

I love this quilt !!! when you first laid it out I thought - "How pretty would it be if the center fabric were blue and the outside fabrics in the green/brown family." Like you, I saw a river !!! thanks ever so much for sharing this lovely pattern and inspiring us all to get out there and quilt !!

[@peggygunderson5578]

[@treyshields7848]

I love this series, it is my favorite! I am afraid that next month will be the last one😢

[@thequiltedforest]

Don't worry, I have plenty of strips. These videos will keep on coming! Happy Quilting!

[@jennywilson6667]

You could make the stripes wider though I'm sure it looks better at 2 1/2 inches ...and a great way to sneak in some not so nice fabrics!! I'm having a think about what colours I could use!!! It would be fun to have lots of different scraps! Love your series ... Thank you for all handy tips!!!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

That’s awesome

[@cyn4rest]

Great idea. Thanks. New subbie 😊

[@jfarm8854]

Thank you!

[@amybiblewski6038]

Oh good! When you started doing Charm Pack videos I was thinking you might have used up all your 2.5" strips (haha) and weren't going to do any more projects.

[@thequiltedforest]

Never fear, more strip videos will appear.

[@melodyryddner912]

More super scrappy inspiration! 😊

[@maryhodge2625]

This makes me wish that I had a bin of black strips! I don't have a lot of strips in any one color. I wonder how scrappy strips would work..

[@oliviafox3605]

HAPPY DANCE!!!
