That last one really spoke to me. Love taking the risk of so many other's design styles as a big part of your final design.

[@susanfinn7653]

I know you did this 3 years ago but so glad we can access these older videos. I am looking over my scraps and wondering how do I make a visually pleasing scrap quilt and this was super helpful. I like giving the eyes a place to rest as I am not a fan of overly busy quilts.

[@paulinechapman5669]

Have never entertained the idea of a theme scrap quilt..what a novel and exciting idea..bravo..from Canada..🇨🇦

[@susannafreyvogel5540]

I love seeing the quilts you make. Thank you!

[@LeslieLNunez]

Thank you! You make it all seam so easy and even though they are “scrap” quilts, you choose colors that are so pleasing to the eye.

[@kathiereeves3213]

Wow! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Your scrappy quilts are so beautiful and I appreciate your thought process.

[@virginia7191]

Ladies in our local quilting club learned I was making a crumb quilt and donated some of their scraps. I have already made a string quilt along with my crumb and still have a ton of scraps left. Love these ideas! Thanks!

[@katywuste9054]

All the quilts are absolutely beautiful

[@suelargen6702]

Awesome! I’ve been making scrap medallions for years and yours have encouraged me to try again with a new approach! Thank you.

[@stitchitupmom]

I am a new quilter and I love scrappy quilts. This was very informative. Now to actually build that stash so I can make a scrappy quilt, lol.

[@glennahackney7292]

Love your tips on scrap quilts!! Thanks for doing these videos!!

[@lindaborowiec4224]

Just lovely? All of them! Really good job!

[@elaineriley2331]

Thank you for sharing your lovely quilts. You gave me more confidence to tackle scrap quilts.

[@jo-annbarr7866]

OMG I love scrappy Quilts. I love all your quilts can't wait to start a few of them.Thank you

[@mendyelliott9495]

Beautiful scrap quilts! Awesome pointers. Thank you

[@loismartin9031]

All of your quilts are lovely... Information you give is priceless..

[@mrsworms]

Wonderful quilts, thanks for sharing for ideas.

[@connielindholdt9043]

Love your variety!

[@quiltgram3056]

Wow, since I challenged myself to ‘the art of actively’ listening to your videos’s I’ve become an ardent fan. (as opposed to dropping by to (see if I liked the show). And since I realized how much I like your content, I pulled fabric this week to make an autumn table runner! Lol, I have only made quilts. Super excited to start this one as soon as I finish machine quilting my current quilt. I do organize my projects but a very stripped down version from a planner. I print out 2 months from my calendar app and fill in the target dates to start piecing, prep backing, baste, etc. since I was a few days late for November and December, I was able to fit it in right after my quilt, Puppy Tales. Thanks to your excellent organization and thoughtfulness, I easily added a note to Reminders along with link to your blog post for each month. So will be sewing alone albeit two years later. I rarely but precuts but I’m going to treat myself to a fat quarter bundle for this one. So over the next several weeks I plan to check out both your and Chelsie’s shops. Thanks bunches from Maine.

[@corrinereyes1282]

I love all your quilts.

[@sandrastephens1508]

[@jefr4763]

[@annasipinski2468]

Wow I loved those quilts! I am a new quilter and up until now thought I could never put a true scrappy quilt together. But your video and tips proves otherwise! Thank you for the great information and suggestions ! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your helpful tips! Anna

[@hazeljerrymunro2975]

Am in the process of making a scrap quilt. Could not understand why it wasn't working at all. After this video now I see. Great information. Thank you very much. Love your channel and your voice and presentation.

Hello

[@lynnslosson5937]

I love the flower hexagon quilt. I had to repair a hexagon quilt recently, and loved the handwork . I just don’t want a grandmothers flower garden quilt. Thank you for the great pattern.

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

great ideas for scrappy quilts. thank you 💕

[@pamelaemard2124]

You've taught me so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ☺️

[@catherineolesky7832]

Beautiful quilts Sherri! After 20 years of quilting, I’m finally brave enough to start using up scraps to compose quilts. Tips on grounding and unifying with a common fabric or colour throughout, really helps. Thanks so much. 💐

[@giovannazahler4292]

Beautiful quilts! ❤️

[@judithmurphy419]

First Scrap tutorial which seems useful perfect, thank you!

[@karenstclair3725]

Love this idea! During my stay at home time I've gone through my fabric and found some fabrics I didn't know what to do with them. And don't even remember where they came from! LOL This will help me deal with the situation! Thanks, Karen!

[@karenm7260]

I ran into the same thing while quarantined. Found so many bags with fabric and couldn’t remember where I bought.🤦‍♀️ I have determined I need to take care of these before I buy more.

[@kandaykerr3653]

Thank you for the information. I've always been hesitant to try Scrappy quilts because I seen to be a matchy matchy kind of person. Knowing how to use fabric to help ground all the colors will be helpful.

[@smarterthanawaffle]

Excellent. Just...excellent. Thank you.

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, Your Scrap Quilts are Beautiful 😁 💕 I am a Totally New Beginner to Quilting 😋 but I got some great tips with the background colour to keep it unified 😁💜 Erica x

[@pauladimattei6434]

[@BrendaH289]

[@KumaSews]

[@JesusisKing222]

I am new to quilting and a new sub. All of your quilts are simply works of art.

[@ShirleyDeeDesigns]

I love your quilts!

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

[@Mel_leit]

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@missone43]

Your quilts are lovely! New Sub!

[@lindadavis8082]

Sherri, this is very helpful in deciding what to save & how to sort. Thanks 🤗

[@renereinhardt2643]

This is my favorite scrappy quilt pattern. Lorraine

[@catherinesmith5711]

I love that you concentrated on scrappy yeah. 🤗I'd really be interested in getting the Mulholland pattern. It has so much movement and I'd love to try it. This is the first time I've found you on KZbin so I don't know how to order your pattern what do I have to do.

[@200dkmc]

where have you bween so glad i found you

[@gen2917]

❤️ love

[@lauradoss5970]

I am new to your channel. Thank you for all the tips. I love your fabric. Where can I find your fabric?

[@ericabates5361]

Hello, I am not a Quilter 😥 but I can sew 😁 Your Quilts are so Beautiful 💕 Erica x

[@connieolson8497]

Did you ever do any video while making the Scrap thru a block exchange. I would love to see it and how you made your block or blocks and cut them up. I find it very interesting.

[@elsehansen7561]

Love your scrappy quilt designs 💖 They are so beautiful and uniq 💖 What is your book called and can I find it in a danish quiltshop? 🤔💖

[@malgorzatawandycz7912]

Hi Sherri, Love the video, went to your blog to download the block patterns of the month and they are not there, the window states that the patterns are in the owners trash. Any chance you can forward all the patterns or make them available?

[@barbaracarroll6026]

Hi! Just found your channel. Love your esthetic and fabrics! For the quilt where you used Moda's dotty gray fabric to bring it all together, is there a pattern for that quilt? Love it!

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

Yes, that one is in the Scraps, Inc. book...linked in the description :)

[@connieolson8497]

Very interesting. Everyone purchases fabric, it’s pretty or special to you at the time. It just sits on a shelf or in a drawer hidden away. I just want to put them into a quilt , not leave them hidden away. many times one buys a bit of fabric but its not enough to make a quilt with pattern. I just want to forget what is correct Color placement and particular order. More like using Improve, 9 patch. Log cabin, cut into quarters, pinwheels, flying geese. I want to put them all together. Can I do this? I think I will try but it would be more fun with a few other people.

[@jacquipayne7346]

they're all so pretty! TFS! how do you cut and store your scraps so they're ready for a scrap quilt?

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

I save squares (2 1/2" , 3", and 5") and strips (1 1/2", 2" , 2 1/2", and 5") and keep them in plastic boxes.

[@Mach.R]

😁

[@sandrahart9190]

Somehow I pulled up a red, white, and blue quilt that has a churn dash little to large within each other Now I can’t find it. Do you know which one it is?

[@nancycox3318]

Hello - I love the HST quilt from your 2019 Block of the Month. Is the pattern available for that quilt?

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@theresaprobe143]
