During my series I will be sewing different blocks using fabrics that I have in my scrappy stash baskets.
For this block I am working out if my 2 1/2" and 5" Scrappy Stash Baskets.

I love watching you, the music is so distracting for old folks like me (86) but still I will watch!
Your video is the 3rd one I watched on how to do this block. The way you broke it down makes so much more sense than anyone else’s instructions. Thanks so much.
I prefer this method as well! I saw one where they are a 16 pc patchwork, and then they added the rest, same result, but I do prefer this!
Miss Holt, wondering if this could be made QAYG? I only have a domestic and have been experimenting with QAYG, sure would like to tackle this if I could! Thank you!
Love your aqua machine, the aqua nails, and oh yeh... the aqua cupboard.... Think there may be a theme here? lol. I'm so impressed with your organization. Lots of good help there. Thanks for all your great tips.
This was the first video I watched Lori actually sew. And I absolutely love that she does not have a fancy new computerized sewing machine. I always feel so left behind, watching videos with the automatic back stitch and thread cutter, or all the other fancy gizmos. But if Lori can do it without all the bells and whistles, maybe I can too!
Thank you!! You certainly can do it:) I love to use my featherweight for piecing...it just has a straight stitch which is all you need for that. When I do machine quilting or need a “fancy” stitch I use my Bernina ❤️
Beautiful quilts were made by hand and treadle machines you can make quilts anyway you like that’s what’s so awesome about it. It was always a case of make do with what you had.
I read somewhere a feedsack company that made flour found out women were using the sacks to make clothes. So they started making them with pretty prints which is where we get the gorgeous 1930s prints we all love. 💕 log cabins were used to show signals quilt history is very interesting good luck with it. Hand work is very therapeutic if you want to give it a go. Just a needle and thread and 1/4 inch ruler plus fabric and pencil is all you need
Wow - That's not just organization, but beautiful organization...!
Your video is so helpful! I am cleaning out my grown daughter's sewing scrap stash. When she was 12-16, she sewed bonnets for our living history farm - sooo, I have lots of scrap materials. I have never quilted...but I 'think" I can! This quilt pattern is amazing...thank you for sharing!
Lori Holt's closet = goals for the rest of us. Nicely done, Lori. Love it that you now have your own channel.
Thank you for this pattern. I'm emptying my box of 2 1/2. inch squares.
I’d like to have my own fabric line too 😁👍
Lori wh aas t is the fabric you have covering your ironing boards?
If I live another 25 years ( currently 74) I’ll never have this much material or be as organized but I hope 🤞
@@joanmacleod1362 A gal can dream!
I like this block I've always been drawn to it thank you for showing us how it's peace.❤
I've been sewing for 37 years, but I'm new to quilting. In ONE video you taught me more than I learned in a 6 week quilting class! LOVE THIS SO MUCH !❤
I have never enjoyed making scrappy quilts but Lori has changed that.
Thank you so much! ❤️
@@LoriHolt I’ve been binging on your videos & cutting and sorting my scraps! 💞
@@ksharpe8137 yay! Good for you:) 🥰
Hello from Maine. Lori, I remember several years back going to a large fair in New Hampshire with a DIL, whom I had taught how to quilt. There happened to be several quilts made which I remember as being reminiscent of your Farm Girl quilts. Each had their own delightful personalized touches. We lingered there awhile and just enjoyed.
Several days ago I saw the #13 video in your series pop up which I watched because I love log cabin blocks. I absolutely loved the video . Since I’m a retired registered nurse and quite organized I have a similar system as yours but tailored to my smaller space. Happy I finally came up with one that works well for my but I always seen to come up with a nugget or two from watching other quilters. I made 2 design bards for myself but really love your finishing touch around the edges, just need to get some rubber fingers before tackling that project. (and never knew about silicon fingers before your video).
I loved #13 so much that I’m going to enjoy the entire series as I’m a dedicated scrap quilter. I enjoy an occasional jelly roll but my main love affaire is scrap quilts. Think I got it from sleeping under my Grandma Knowles quilts in the unheated 2nd floor of their farmhouse. One of my favorite memories. And she belonged to the grange so I was able to visit and help her in the days leading up their small town yearly fair. I thank you for your time and your passion for quilting. I know it takes time to prepare and publish videos and I for one am truly appreciative. Love from Maine.
I used to quilt quite a lot,but stopped several years ago,but now you've inspired me to pick it back up,and i've always loved scrappy quilts.I have a ton of fabrics here as i worked in a quilt store for over 10 years before i retired.Now if there's any way you can add more hours to my day,i'd sure appreciate that.LOL.That quilt is going to be beautiful,and i love the way you organize everything.Great video..Thank You.
what an organised stash! I feel so much better that my stash though unorganized, is ok, that it's not too many fabrics. 😸🌷👍
All quilters have their own styles though they may use blocks that have existed for years. I like watching various quilters as I get to see different quilts which are of great quality and beauty. Lori Holt has her own style too and I like the quilt she makes. This new video channel is going to be great too.
I love that you have decided to do a you tube channel, I love your instruction, thank you.
Nice! Not too little not too much talking--just right, and all informative. Your subtle marketing that is imbedded in this one little vlog is very amazing. Good work!
I am 86 and ' thought I knew everything' WHY did it take so long to find YOU I am so glad that I did will look at every thing that you have done thanks Joanie White
Love your tube channel. I look forward to many blocks and tutorials. Thank you
It's so wonderful to see how you set things up, and how you organize your stash....everything you do is just so clever!!! I just love the Scrappy Crossroads Block...it reminds me of quilts my Granny used to make, she always loved the four patch and it was the very first thing she taught me. This series is going to be such fun!! Thank You, Lori!!!
I am very much a novice quilter and just made this block, it's my first ever quilt block so I am quite proud. Although it has MANY MANY faults I know learning has taken place and I will keep practising before I dare to use any of my new Lori Holt fabric! Now I need a little fabric roller in my life for the seams!!!
Glad to see you on YT. I will be here any time you are. I did not know there is a 2 n half inch ruler, will be getting that for sure. Look forward to your scrap stash, and how you do it. Like your new sewing room. Stay Safe till we meet again on YT
Great teacher,you can tell you have also had great parents! Very creative ideas and technics ! THANK YOU!!
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved this video! From your scrappy storage techniques to piecing the block with your tips- it was so inspirational! Looking forward to this series!! Many thanks!
Thank you for showing the behind the scenes of scrap maintenance, it’s very useful to see how to arrange these items.
I am glad I seen your tutorials. I have saved a lot of thread by following your tutorials. Thank you very much. I will keep watching. Sandra B.
As a self taught gal, (2 years) you and your books have made me excited to finish a project. First time ever! Thank you for your wonderful instructions and inspiration. You make my gloomy days sunny ❤
Loved the way you have organized your scraps into strips and squares. Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Waiting for your new videos to arrive. Thanks for sharing your experience
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This video. I can't wait for the next one. More videos please!!!!
So happy about your You tube channel...... This will definitely be one of my favorites to watch......Thanks for keeping it short and simple. Although we love to hear about the lives of all the you tubers we are here for the quilt information. You have a very calming voice and I love the interaction between you and Kimberly. I hope you two can get together soon. Stay safe and healthy. Hugs from Minnesota
Kathy Guenther I agree and I love Lori’s work. I also watch Karen at Just Get it Done channel. Great tips and her more recent videos are straight to the point (not so much her early ones 😬)
Oh to have Lori's closet and skills! I'd settle to just be as easy going and laid-back as she is. I seem to always be rushed and anxious lol... #life goals=be like Lori!
lol I know exactly what you mean! 🤣
I have enjoyed all of your sew your stash videos. Thank you for showing us how to make these blocks. I eagerly come home from work eager to try each block. This one is next. I guess you can tell I didn’t watch the videos in order. Thank you. I’ve learn a lot.
New subscriber. Came across the latest in this series by accident, but when I saw the name Lori Holt, I knew it would be a good series to watch. Wasn't wrong!! Will be watching from the beginning, really love your presentation style and ideas!!
Thanks for sharing your space and knowledge, Lori. :-)
🤗 I like to make just the single block and use it as a wall hanging. Thank you Lori!
What an informative and COLORFUL site!. Thank you.
Lori. Thank you so much. Love all your f books and fabrics. Thank you again for sharing so much with all you fans.
Thanks Lori. I love your beautiful stash! Blessed
Awesome!! Looking forward to the series.
Hello from Brazil!
Even I have not so good English, I am beem able to understand and LOVING YOUR WORK! How much I lerned with only one video! Thanks and kisses!
Oh I love that block so much! Thanks for sharing Lori!
Just love this block. can't wait for block 2
You are just darling!! Always relaxed and make it so easy for all of us!!! ♥️♥️♥️
As a new quilter, I have learned so much from your videos. You are such a good teacher. Thank you
Love that you are using a Singer Featherweight! I have 10 of them and use the exclusivily for eveything I sew. This block is my next project. Thanks for the Tutorial!
Lori, please adopt me!😉. So happy I found your channel! I LOVE vintage, and I love the easy in which you demonstrate. I feel I can “almost” go pin free! Thank you!
I love this series so much! I rewatch them often!
Great tutorial, I might try this someday
What a great video. I’m looking forward to watching more of them. Thanks!
Your calm, confident narration makes be believe I can do this, too! “Sew” I will!
Lovely. Thanks for sharing
I enjoyed & loved this block a lot. Keep up Lori with ur wonderful work👍
Thank you for making this video and showing us your scrap storage system! It has inspired me to implement the same system, which I can tell is very efficient and minimizes wastage. I also really appreciate you showing us your work space setup and sewing techniques using a camera angle that allows me to see things being done from the sewer's viewpoint/perspective. (i.e facing their machine and projects). I love that you were able to demonstrate your workspace setup - designed incredibly well to maximize the amount of piecing, ironing, HST and folded corners done per unit time. It is so much faster without having to get out of your sewing chair to iron, trim, etc. Just doing this alone would triple my speed. I'm looking forward to your future tips and tricks in upcoming videos! Thank you again for your generosity in taking the time to do make these tutorial videos. I know that I and other viewers will gain very useful knowledge and skills as we view each one!
You have the best scraps, of course, it’s your fabrics!! Love your videos. You are so inspiring. Thank you and looking forward to more of your videos.💕❤️🌻❤️💕
Wow that is a great way to store and use up scrappy pieces. . Makes a beautiful patch square. Thank you for sharing !! Blessings from Georgia/USA, Lori 😍
Sangat cantik ❤
Just watched your string quilt tutorial and loved it now just saw this one and another darling colored sewing machine. Cant wait to watch my third of your videos to see what color is next.... lol Love them and you videos.
You have several wonderful tips. I hope I don't miss any of your videos .
Oh, I wish to be as organized as Lori some day🥰 love this quilt block sew much🤗
You and Kass make THE cutest videos!! I love your stash ideas and the crossroads block! So cute and fun!
You make it look so easy! I'm glad you are using up you leftovers and have them all organized in such a way to create a new quilt. Do you ever make lap quilts for Nursing Homes? Or Pediatric Wards? Do you ever make Aprons from scraps sewn together? Notebook covers? Handbags? Little girls skirts? Teapot cozies? Hotpads? Dogbed covers? And the list goes on!! TFS.😊 👍 💖
Thank you for sharing! You have brought me great joy today; I made one!
Wow you are amazing! love everything.
Thank you so much Lori! I love this block - and I know that with all my scraps I can make a beautiful project. It's so much fun to watch your tutorials! All the pretty colors, doo-dads - colorful featherweight! You just make it all so much fun! Thank you! Patti

Thank you Lori for sharing your knowledge so glad you have your own UA-cam channel
I have done so many of your projects
I am definitely going to watch out for all of your UA-cam updates 🥇❤️😛
Thanks Lori, you made a complex design so easy
Hi Lori! Thank you! Great tutorial!
I happen to see some white foam board while at the dollar tree yesterday. I didn't realize they carried it. When I saw it, I instantly thought of the design boards that you showed how to make in another video. So I'm going to give it a try. I think they will be a great help. Thanks for all the great tips and pleasant tutorials!
Thankyou Lori for sharing your skills, I love your taste for brights.
Hi Lori! Love this block and your tutorial! Your stash closet is fantastic! Thank you!
I look forward to following this series!
Love this series and the block is really darling. I can truly see the use of the project boards. I use them in cross stitch but I will either make or buy some bigger ones, these videos are great. Thank you for sharing. I love the music and the different colored featherweights and your organization.
I just love everything you do Lori!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Loving your UA-cam channel.scrappy quilts are so fun,i cant wait to watch your next video x
I don't have a big stash, but I do have a small one. I am going to have to work on that! I love your fabrics, and ideas, and I am looking forward to watching all of your videos. Thank you. I am also going to make some small,, and one big, design board.
Thank you for sharing how you have things organized
Thank you so much Lori for this tutorial ! Now I want to make one quilt like yours. I love your UA-cam channel.
Love this block and series sounds exciting
Such great organization, and a beautiful quick quilt, too! I have so much in my stash.... and I NEED to use it up. Thanks for this great video!
Thank you Lori, I loved watching this. You are so organised. I am ashamed to say my stash is a mess. I am going to follow along on this journey.
I love the organization scrappy quilt blocks. I would never think of going natural linen color. It does look great but does not pull away from the colors in the other fabric
Lori, I can't believe I have not watched your You Tube videos before this. I'm a first timer. What a great video! I love that you don't yell at us while your teaching. Your skills for teaching one of my favorite blocks was so through and complete. You can bet I'll be seeing more of your videos for I just subscribed. I already have a number of your patterns and books.
Love this pattern! Great use of my huge stash of 2-1/2" squares.
I love that pattern. Thank you for sharing your talents. 🥰😍
Wonderful, colorful, informative, concise and ins pairing video, Lori!! Thank you so much!
Love this video and looking forward to watching many more! So happy you have a UA-cam channel now. Your closet and scrap storage baskets system is amazing. I would say I want to be you when I grow up but since I'm sure that I'm much older than you don't think that will happen! Lol
