I loved that you did this with basic tools: no fancy rulers or pens. This is very helpful for those of us who don't have much to work with or space to store it. Lovely pattern.
Thanks Robin! Sometimes the simplest quilts can still have a powerful impact and I love scrappy quilts! I hope you give this a try. Thanks for watching.
Using the bonus triangles to make pinwheels is such a good idea. I’ve just made a TON of tiny HSTs from bonus triangles (and I have no idea what I will do with them). I wish I had seen your video first! Oh well, I know for next time
Ok, I believe I have “enough” blocks sewn in all Christmas fabrics. I need to rent space just to lay it out! I have too many dogs and two puppies. If I get down on the floor, forget about sewing, it’s play time in my house. Thanks for the inspiration. I also used the off cuts and made 1.5 (triangle) into pinwheels that I used for trim on a Christmas panel.
So exciting Sally! It's scrappy, so don't worry about a layout - just sew them together and it will look great. I can only imagine what dogs and puppies would do to a bunch of quilt blocks on the floor!!!! What a riot! If you are comfortable, I'd love to see a photo of the finished quilt top - bitsandpiecesquilting@gmail.com.
I try to make 2 quilts a month. I don’t let mine accumulate. I set three bins, one for salvages, one for cut offs, and finally “leftovers” after the quilt is done. The cutoff/wastes are used to fill up donated dog beds. You would think i would have so much based on what I sew. None of my threads go in the trash. Every “bit and piece” gets used up about every two months.
REALLY nice pattern. Thank you. I love making 4 patch, 9 patch etc without having to have a neutral/background for every other square. This will use a nice bit of scraps!
Hi Debbie - there is still a good amount of background in this one, but if you make the scrappy border, it really makes a dent in the scrap bin. Thanks for watching!
That turned out beautiful, I have been making scrappy 4 patches with my left over 2 1/2 inch strips and squares and put them in a pile, now I know what to do with them. Thanks for showing us how to make those hour glasses, I usually sew the long side and make into pin wheels, but I like the look of the hour glass better.
Hi Diana! Sounds like you are already half way there if you have a pile of four patch blocks already! I hope you give this a try - and the free pattern is on my website. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Cindy. I'm always amazed as how well the scraps eventually go together. There is often a moment where I think.... eeek.... but it always seems to work out in the end! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful scrappy quilt. I love scrappy!!! I just started quilting a little over a year ago and I am totally addicted!!!! Love this and just may make it in the near future. I am still in the throes of collecting scraps. Thank you very much for sharing!!
Thanks Judy and welcome to wonderful world of quilting! I hope you will check out this free pattern and the others from my website at: www.bitsandpiecesquilting.com. And use your scraps!!!
Your mind is a beautiful thing! I'm learning what makes a scrappy quilt workable. My problem is, I keep my smaller pieces in a zipper pouch next to some larger pieces in the same color family. To store bits of extra tiny pieces, I've resorted to a plastic grocery bag. Others might through them away, but I still see their value.
Hi Nancy! Thanks for your kind words, and I'm glad to hear you are working with your scraps. Sometimes it takes a while to come up with the fabric organization system that works best for you... and that might change over time as your interests change. Keep having fun and trying new things! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Pat! There are loads of ways to do it, and specialty products you can buy, but sometimes something simple will do the trick! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Ellen! The little half-square triangles as just too small for me, so I really like the hourglass blocks. I have a bonus project almost finished to use them, but there are already a few patterns on my website with ideas. Thanks for watching.
I have been looking for a pattern to use for a scrappy quilt for my bed and I think I found it! I've never done a scrappy quilt and want one, thought I was going to do a log cabin but it just wasn't clicking. This one clicked! Great pattern, thank you.
Hi Jeanne! I'll bet it will look beautiful - and I think I'll have to try it in this size too! Let me know if you have any questions or issues with the quilting math. Thanks for watching.
This is gorgeous and thanks for sharing the tutorial. I probably would have cut a 4.5” strip for that last block. Now I will think about doing something like that for a minute before I do it!
Hi Corgikat! I've discovered that pattern writing can be hard - you have to make some assumptions and that includes the width of fabric. Sometimes there is as little as 40 usable inches and sometimes as much as 44. But I hate to "waste" fabric - or add to my scrap bin unnecessarily. A bit of forward thinking and quilting math can really help. Thanks for watching!
l have 2 scrappy quilts in the making. Both are mystery quilts, 1 l was 11 blocks short they have been made. The other l just started. Both used scraps and 2.5 blocks, l still have a bunch cut so this will be the next scrappy quilt. Thanks so much for the video and pattern, can't wait to the Is bonus quilts
Excellent podcast. So many fantastic bits of information that will be invaluable for a new quilter. The pattern is really interesting even for an experienced quilter. Thanks.
This is just BEAUTIFAUL! My goodness! I think it will be my next quilt, after the three I need to finish, you know how it goes! What a beautiful pattern, fairly simple, and a great scrap buster! Thank you so so much! I love me some scrappy borders too!
Hi Paula! Glad you like it! It really is easy and despite loving scrappy quilts, I'm always a bit surprised when the chaos comes together into a great final product. Thanks for watching.
Found your channel last night. Loving your simplicity and ease of your description. I’m a long time quilter OBSESSED 🤩 with scraps. I take everyone’s scraps that I know! LOL. Thank you!
Hi Shirley! You can totally do this! Download the free pattern from my website: www.bitsandpiecesquilting.com and give it a try. It's beginner friendly and don't over think the scrappy-ness of it all. Thanks for watching.
Brenda from Conquering Mount Scrapmore sent me and I'm so glad she did. What a beautiful scrappy quilt and thank you for the pattern. Your website is amazing!
Omg I love this finished quilt and the way you arrived is awesome thank you very much for sharing this. I do tend to use my template to make the flipped corners and then have the corners. Love the idea of creating hourglass squares with the corners. Thank you
Hi Loreen - so glad you like the pattern and hope you give this a try. I also have a few patterns to use the hourglass blocks on my website. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Carla! I hope you will download the pattern and give it a try. It is magical the way the scraps just all seem to come together into a great finished project.
Hi MIchelle! This is such a happy quilt; I really love it. The background fabric in a tone-on-tone is the perfect calming compliment to the riot of colors. Great tutorial, clear and easy to follow.
@@bitspiecesquilting I definitely intend to! I have a small bin filled up with 2-1/2" squares of every color and pattern imaginable. I think I probably have enough to make one, although right now I'm working on your Baby Chandelier quilt!
Hi Catherine! I hope you will head over to my website and grab the free pattern and give this a try. It's fun, and easy and the results are worth it! Thanks for watching.
I really like this it’s scrappy but doesn’t make me dizzy. Adding this on my to be made list. Yep I save all my corner cuts for either hourglass or pinwheel blocks since I started watching you.
Hi Jean! I think the impact also comes from choosing fabric along a "theme" - whatever the theme might be. It gives it a bit of a sense of unity. And then the background and trellis units are really neutral, so the overall impact works. I'm glad you are saving your hourglass blocks! The bonus project will be out soon, and there are other hourglass block patterns on my website. Thanks for your ongoing support.
Hi Tammy - agreed! Can you imagine it with a dark background, light trellis lines and maybe some bold batik colours - wow! or even soft pastels with a sky blue background. So many possibilities.
Me too! There is always a moment during construction when I think....yikes that's a lot of different fabric.... but then it all magically comes together and looks great. Thanks for watching.
Hi Jenna - it's true that the hourglass blocks have bias edges and you have to be a bit careful with them, but I find the HSTs to be too small for me to use. I'd love to see what you make with them!
I ALWAYS save the offcuts from snowballing corners however I made them into HSTs, I’m DEF going to make them into hourglass blocks, super fun! And I LOVE the scrappy border. This one is going on my very long to do list, probably closer to the top tho!😍
Glad you enjoyed the video and pattern. I find the off-cut HSTs too small for me, so prefer the hourglass blocks. I have some free patterns on my website to use them, too! Thanks for watching.
Lovely quilt. Thank you for demonstrating. One hack to consider is to use the peak unit to complete the pattern on the on point square units on rows 2, 4, 6. Another hack is to use a a strip and cut the corners with a HST ruler (avoiding the waste).
Hi Leisa - great points! I don't think I have an HST ruler (but I'll check) and I will take a look at improving the pattern by completing some of the trellising, as you suggest. Thanks for the great feedback.
@@bitspiecesquilting Check out Creative Grids Folded Corner Clipper (small)--I use it for everything--and you won't find a better binding tool. Antler Designs also makes a Simple Folded Corners Ruler. The latter is more versatile, the former has more alacrity. I have them both, and I would not part with either.
