Magic No-Scraps Herringbone Quilt!

[@gamadebdegamadebde]

This was like a mystery movie, waiting for each of your magic steps. So much fun and no hair pulling and screaming. I have done the "old" method with lots of waste and lackluster results. As always I appreciate your calm voice that always carries such notes of joy which gives me hope for my project. You are a great teacher.

It wasn't until you cut the first "tube" that I understood what you were doing. Brilliant! *sigh* - Add another to my list of projects to try.

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Lol. Sorry? But not really :). This is a really fun quick one so I hope you enjoy it :)

[@nightsewer]

I have been sewing for about 68 years. The very first video that I saw of yours I learned so very much about the thread! I sew mostly clothes as I started a business , like a million years ago, sewing for larger women. One lady was going on a cruise and wanted a sexy bathing suit. Word spread from there and it just kind of exploded. I am retired now and only sew for who I want to sew for. I am going to sew a great grand baby quilt for my great grand babies. So I am going to "binge" watch all your videos. Thank you so much for your videos. They are so informative that I have sent your video link to many of my friends that quilt. Some of them professionally. I do not do longarm, but they do. Thank you again. Deborah

[@ChristineKrannich]

Dannnnnng, this is incredible! I love the look of heringbone but winced at the thought of all the waste. What a fantastic solution! Thanks so much. This will be fun to try!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

That was my reaction!! I hated all that cut off! And it didn't even seem like useful scraps since they were weird shapes. I knew there had to be a better way!

[@susanbertrand8620]

This is absolutely brilliant! I think I would try a floor pillow or baby quilt size as a first time project. Thank you for another fantastic tutorial-always appreciated 🧡

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks! The little pieces I used were about 1 1/2 x 5 and I ended up with a 12" block. Hopefully that helps you size a bit for a smaller quilt :)

[@patriciapfahl2189]

lol, I’ve almost stopped watching 3 times, but somehow you draw me back at just the right moment. I had to remind myself a few times that this was a mini model; I’m very keen to try it at full size! So colourful! Thanks for this one. Your tenacity is inspiring to me.

[@Denise11Schultz]

Wow! Feels like it is perfect for a vest pattern with piped or flanged side and shoulder seams. Also any ombre fabric would be fascinating to try with this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing, and I can hardly wait to try it. P.S. Before, I always did a braid, instead of a herringbone, with half hexagons. I like the ‘zipper magic’ of using logs (rectangles) instead. 😎🌱🌿💚

[@lizziedae91]

Idk how you ever thought of all this but its amazing thank you

[@dc5600]

The Opinionated Quilter sent me here and I'm so glad she did. Genius!

[@textiles4tots]

I love that you are doing tutorials on more advanced techniques!! (If I never see another HST tutorial… enough said.) Thank you!! This looks like a fun puzzle to explore and I love that it won’t add to my growing crumbs collection!

[@zacharysandler9199]

Ummm, last night in my insomnia I watched your video and then this afternoon I had to make it. It was amazingly easy and I love the way it turned out. Can’t wait to make another one!

[@nancydublin3315]

Me too! Confident it will work so am going to get busy today!!!!! How smart this young lady is. Who would have thought of this fabric-saving idea!!!!!

[@nedag8276]

Thanks!

[@kschallert3569]

Wow! This is beautiful and it's a project I actually understand how to assemble, thanks to your thorough instructions! I love your videos, you're such a good teacher! Your quilt is stunning. The fabric choices are so beautifully artistic. You're just amazing! Thank you for sharing so much with the quilting community ❤️

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@DottieWatkins]

THANK YOU for embracing the dreaded Y seam! I've always thought things would work out better if we just sucked it up and sewed them. An lo and behold - voila! Amazing results! Thanks for always bringing a thoughtful approach to making lovely things. Love, love, love your tutorials!

[@teddy-3765]

Love it! And great to see it worked in miniature for those of us who sew mostly for dolls.

[@nicolebrunzel6608]

What a clever way to construct that quilt. Now to find the perfect fabrics for it...

[@andersonm3874]

Nicole how are you doing over there

[@cathymcspaden6879]

Thank you for putting out this KZbin again, it’s my favorite. I need it if I haven’t made the pattern for awhile. I would buy an in depth, well illustrated pattern if you wanted to publish it.

[@bethanyhyder3750]

My mind is blown. 🤯 This is incredible!! Your tutorials are my favorite quilt tutorials on KZbin!! Thank you for another fun and free project!

[@anjamaas7140]

I love this quilt! Now, on jellyroll-day 2023, I'm making this with a jellyroll. Thank you so much for sharing! I hope to see you back soon.

[@susanharber6488]

Wow! Thank you for this. I can’t wait to make one. You are a clever mathematician AND a magician!!

[@sharonosburn494]

I spent the evening looking for someone to show me how to do this! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤

[@sharonbierd5783]

Made it using upcycled upholstery material! Worked out well and the instructions were very good. Thanks!

[@abigaildolinger2754]

Megan, you are a genius! Thanks for this great tutorial!

[@gwenniesimpson9309]

Oh my goodness! I have used herringbone for borders many times, but a whole quilt? and with no waste! This is definitely on my bucket list now.

[@marydevlin9559]

Just love this. And the Anna Marie Horner quilt.

[@JeanMcDoniel]

Not sure when you made this BUT I LOVE IT ❤️ GO GIRL. I can't wait to learn more!!❤

[@pywagner]

Thanks! This is brilliant! I will always come back to this video to refresh my memory of this approach.

[@cathyc1079]

Fantastic! Great pattern, you are very clever. Thank you for the great tutorial, you made it look like l could actually try this. Looking forward to doing this with all those big bold fabrics you don't want to cut up into small pieces. Really enjoy your channel :)

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!! Gotta love your fabric choice for the quilt xxx

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Anna Maria sure does make some absolutely gorgeous and equally hard to use prints! lol. I wanted to keep the pieces as big as I could :)

[@alexandrawellington8028]

@@TinyOrchardQuilts I agree with you, so pretty and hard to cut up, like Kaffe and Tula too xxx

[@mike1968442]

I love it in this “mini size”!

[@rachelmurguia9874]

This is amazing! Mind blown 😮

[@Suezee66]

Brilliant,absolutely amazing, I smile blessing beautiful lady 🇨🇦🌻🙏🌻🙏🌻🙏

[@andersonm3874]

Hello

[@bonnieh403]

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow? First time I am seeing one of your tutorials, glad I found you. Great job on the instructions.

[@wendyshill2]

Wow! Now that’s what you call a PUZZLE. Only you could explain it this well!!!

[@reinamariposa]

Ive seen this video like 3 times since you posted it and I think I'm going to try it. Can't get the idea out of my head! It would be sooooo cooooool! and I would feel like a magic wizard when I was done.

[@cherylsmith3002]

I've never done a partial seam in piecing, so this will stretch my skills. And maybe patience. But I have a few FQ bundles that might just be perfect for this. LOVE all the colors!

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@cathymcspaden6879]

Thank you for all the work you have put into this pattern. This zipper quilt turned into one of my go-to quilts. I scale it down (5”X18” pieces) for baby quilts, and scale it up by adding more chevrons and more rows of chevrons, for a wonderful wedding gift. I ordered more fabric to make it again for a gift, so thank you again for your pattern.

[@connieking9873]

This was one of the most interesting tutorials. So glad I found it. Was sent to this video by the opinionated quilter. Loved it.

[@wenkaitong8013]

This is awesome! I will give it a try for sure. Thank you very much for the great tutorial!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thanks! I hope you give it a go! Its really much easier to do than explain how to do it :)

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

It is so refreshing to see something new regarding an old pattern! Well done!

[@doloresmcnab4879]

It worked. I did it! Thank you for this “no waste” version!!!

[@critterwatcher8009]

Nice job teaching. Showed all the important steps and pointed out where it might look different on a larger scale.

[@celestevans153]

Oh my word!🎉 Herringbone with no waste. No excuses not to make one of this awesome quilts now. Thank you so much! And my scrap basket thanks you too!

[@moniqued9715]

this is so cool! Thanks so much!. I enjoy your videos so much and so happy to have found you. Your style is so much my jam! Happy dance

[@GLITTERandSKULLZ]

Thank you for this video. You've given me a great idea for a border to my hexagon quilt. ❤

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

After doing the top and bottom - I think I would be tempted to make a barrel pillow. (If working in that small size)

[@sandrahageman9955]

I have now watch this for the third time as I am working on my third project using this technique. I have been using jelly rolls. This one I did three panels before I sold them together. Love how it turns out. Love the limited waste. Always enjoy your videos. Cheers.

[@shineherrington3199]

Thank you for this video. Clear, concise, easy to follow directions. I've been saving blue jeans since the 80s. I used 16 pairs making a quilt for my 10 yo granddaughter using this technique. My strips were 30' x 6'. It came out to a queen size and perfect. I wish I could share a photo of it with you. Thanks again!

[@monicapharo2330]

You area a GENIUS 🥇🧠🫵🏻🤩

[@sharonlyman3029]

This was great. I also noticed that The Opinionated Quilter liked this video/concept. She's a tough audience. Congrats.

[@kathgleeson2429]

Just brilliant 👏

[@lauramarjoram2692]

Omg how clever is that! 😍😍😍

[@leemiller2811]

Amazing. I don’t think I’ll try it but your instructions are wonderful. 🌺

[@jeannehall1722]

You did it again, great video

[@mustanggal68]

AMAZING! Thank you so much for this genius method. Blessings.

[@kimlayer395]

What an incredible teacher you are! This is the only tutorial that I've seen that makes sense to me! Thank you for sharing.

[@mjdrake240]

Wow! Love it! I think if i can pull this off, I would earn a phd in fabric engineering!

[@ipattymayo007]

This tiny one is a perfect size for a bag panel! My brain is turning! 😁😁😁🤓🤓

[@dianareddell1496]

Frickin’ BRILLIANT!!! That is just amazing and so creative and sensible. Why has no one come up with this before?? Thank you so much!

[@elsafischer3247]

THANK YOU THANK YOU You are great to me. I’m in the hospital seeing this and all I want is to go home and tried this Greetings from Switzerland

[@scottydog6539]

Wow, quite a technique. Great video!!!!

[@pamelamiller3215]

Thankyou for showing me on how to stitch this together without trimming off all the small pieces on the sides will be doing this to my quilt

[@nancisailormoy9135]

I love how this turned out and you are right it is going to stretch some brain muscle to not get all turned around but this would make such a cute table topper or wall hanging and I think I am going to have to try this. I haven't looked at the pattern yet but is there a way to calculate the finished size based on your logs cut and used? What a great way to show off some of those wonderful fabrics that you hate to cute up too small.

[@jodihensley6299]

I made this quilt in less than a day. Super fun. Had to watch video a few times while making. It was like a magic trip in fabric. Thanks again, Megan, for great you tube quilting content!!!

[@debraholmes6290]

Brilliant Megan! Thank you for sharing!! Need to get a copy of your pattern from my printer and head out to my studio!

[@elizabethmckay8712]

Thank you for this tutorial. Love the way this quilt doesn't need to be cut and there is no waste.

[@hollyknobler9309]

Brilliant!!! I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing this method.

[@70acres]

You are just fabulous! I love the way your brain works! Thanks, pretty lady!

[@helenshimell3343]

Great video - Great idea. When the video started I thought I could do this with EPP. Having watched the whole video I know I can do it your way.

[@arbed31]

Excellent! Thanks for the video!

[@rzrpap]

You did an excellent video for this type of sewing. Thanks

[@CRobertK]

I love this! So clever! I can't wait to try!

[@leticia-rl7yj]

🥰 very impressive ❤

[@SewSupportive]

How did you even think of this?!? Genius!

[@maryannecadd796]

Pure magic! Your method is so creative, and I love there is no to little waste. I'm almost tempted to make a smaller quilt and having mastered that, do a larger one. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@hey_virginia]

Brilliant! Partial seams sound intimidating to this newbie but you make it look achievable. Thanks for providing a free pattern so I won't get mixed up with the layout 😅

[@andersonm3874]

Hello how are you doing

[@abigailthompson4456]

I'm so happy to found your video of this dramatic mystery sewing ♡

[@cocotheo]

THX! Heading to a retreat at the end of this month, and I’m making a stained glass denim ombré quilt for my amazing daughter. I so appreciate your insightful techniques!😊

[@annejohnson7596]

Megan, this is so very clever! In the midst of making a herringbone background, I found this video! I love that there is no waste from cutting off the ends on each side, and I'm so pleased that my quilt is just a little larger! Thank you so much for posting this tutorial.

[@andersonm3874]

Anne how are you doing over there

[@soleplease1824]

Amazing 🎉 thank you!

[@mariannemay4760]

You make such calm progress through this complicated tutorial. You came up with a great idea for sewing this project. Thanks.

[@andersonm3874]

Marianne how are you doing over there

[@lynnharrell9598]

Well, aren’t you clever?! I’m a little bit crafty and a little bit geeky, so this was right up my alley. New subscriber here.

[@andersonm3874]

Lynn how are you doing over there

[@vickichandler5872]

This wonderful! Such a cool trick to use in order to save the fabric that is normally cut off and discarded or recycled. Thanks so much. Take care and blessings to y'all.

[@yx6889]

Megan thank you for your wonderful tutorials!

[@marijamusic9259]

I just love your videos!

[@deborahmcmillan806]

I love this! It's so clever and beautiful. It will be my next quilt - a perfect way to finally use some of the fat quarter bundles that I have been reluctant to "cut". I really appreciate the no-waste element. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

That is magic! I can't wait to show your video to my friends.

[@randylls5341]

So creative

[@nancystocker357]

I like the smaller size, it’s cute!

[@helenmanning8066]

Amazing! A bit mind boggling while you are doing it, but seems so easy after you cut it.

[@Loriann3616]

Super video!!

[@mambakind]

Ingenious! Excellant!

[@TinyOrchardQuilts]

Thank you! :)

[@chicletlux]

Oh I think your 1 - Hour quilt video will have competition for the most views on your channel with this pattern 😀

[@kathyvazquez3601]
