  • Grab some scraps and let’s make the Mathemagical quilt! This is scrap-friendly and fat-quarter-friendly. It would be an amazing way to showcase a specific theme, or a line of coordinating fabric. I’ve made this pattern using Star Wars fabrics and Harry Potter fabrics and it looks great.

    Your video came up in my UA-cam stream so I thought I'd give it a try.
    Then you said Quilts of Valor... we're an American military family and when my husband was deployed to Afghanistan, medivaced to Ramstein, he was given a QOV. As he was helped off of the plane at home, coming back to me, he carried only that quilt. (I'm crying. If only you knew how much those quilts mean to our servicemembers. Thank you.)

    I tried this pattern, after I read the directions carefully a second time, and shortened it. It made a nice baby size quilt. I removed Section 3. I always like a challenge of a new thing during the winter and this was my challenge for this year. I did my quilt in greens; lime green was the sashing pieces and used scraps I had.
    I do want to say “read the directions carefully, then read them again.” I had to contact Michele because I thought the pattern was off; but it was me who was “off”. Her response was very kind and I really enjoyed making the quilt.

    Michelle, I LOVE this quilt. I'm about to make a cat quilt for a friend--twin size--and this will make the perfect--well, purr-fect--backing for the quilt. (I plan to piece cats for the top, so it will be two-sided.) I have TONS of cat fabric that's starched and ready to cut up and I'm so glad I saw this before I started cutting. I'll have to decide about directional fabric--whether I don't want to worry about it or have all the cats upright, but I can look at that as I cut stuff out before I put the "grout" on. These are excellent instructions and JUST what I needed to get out to the studio and get started! It's supposed to be a Christmas present, so I need to get moving. Thank you so much! I've downloaded the FREE pattern. Thank you!

I’m excited about this one! Thanks so much for this!

    FYI ... I think I have figured out the cutting to use 8 half yards.
    Cut 1, 8.5 inches WOF. Sub cut, 8.5, 8.5,4,4,4,4,8.5
    Cut 2, 4 inches WOF. Sub cut 8.5, 8.5, 8.5,8.5, 4
    Cut 3, 4inches WOF. Sub cut 8.5, 8.5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4.
    If my math is correct this should give me
    # 24 8.5 X 8.5
    # 32 4 x 8.5
    # 48 8.5 x 4
    # 56 4 x 4
    Have not figured out a lay out. Don't have the software for that.
    Thank you for putting this out. I'm addicted to it.

      Hi Cheryl! Mine have all had some sort of "theme" so far, but this would work really well even if your "theme" was something to guide the way you sort your scraps. Maybe "blue" is your theme, or flowers, or autumn, or beach.... anything really. I hope you give this a try. Thanks for watching.

    New subscriber. Love your videos and patterns. This quilt is one of my favorites . I bought a pattern but much prefer your type of pattern that has interchangeable units. And I like to press seams open most of the time so they lie flat.
    Great scrap buster. I love the Canadian fabrics used for Quilts of Valor and Tula pink fabrics.
    Your instructions and careful tips and tricks are priceless. How to cut 8.5 or and size without another speciality ruler is appreciated. Practical and thrift with fabric.

      Hi Andree! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I love scrappy quilts and you will find that most of my quilts and videos focus on scraps. Not all, but lots! If you haven't seen it yet, check out the Four Patch Trellis quilt pattern and video - that one is excellent for using really small pieces. Some might argue that 8.5 inch pieces in this video aren't really "scraps" - and it's a good discussion question. Thanks for watching.
