PLEASE FORGIVE the camera 'earthquake' during the close up of the Purple/Green quilt - I did NOT realize how bad the cut was. I'm still learning - thank you so much!
This video has so much information. I love it. I would like to see more on the points about hue and value.🎶💐💖
@@carlaatkins2619 Thank you. I'm sure it will come up again and again in future videos. I tend to go on and on about it 😜
Love scraps and your helpful tips!
Hey! I have had the misfortune to catch a "bug" causing me to stay home from , and the great good fortune to find you and your wonderful video. Binge watching and enjoying and learning every second of it. You have eased my mind on a few subjects (mitered corners) and instilled courage on others (color and value, etc)
I'm feeling inspired and braver and don't want to go back to work! I have so many questions! Could we just meet up for a BLT and a glass of sweet tea? LOL!
Scrap quilts are wonderful, because they’re the rescue mutts of the quilt world. No two are alike! Also, I love how they engage using what you have. They’re the opposite of wasteful. So many reasons to love them!
Wow you just connected two thing I didn’t think about. We have 10 rescued pets (currently) - this explains so much 😝😝😝. Thanks so much for watching!
Mutts, that cute.
You are a an effective teacher - crisp, clear, no droning on and on - excellent video. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Thank you!
What made your post so great was the pictures of quilts that showed what you just explained! It just blew me away ! Thank you so much. 💓
I'm so glad! Thank you so much. Thanks for watching I’m glad you’re here!
I agree. This was wonderful for me as I'm still new to all this fun amazing quilting.
Thank you for the concise use of scraps. You should write a book with that method. Scraps are my very favorite.
You flatter me - I love it! Thank you so much.
That's a good idea, a book with lots of examples of quilts in each of your types presented.
I end up with lots of scraps because I am The Queen of the Over-Cutters when designing my blocks. Plus, of course, all the trimmings and leftovers one tends to end up with.
I absolutely LOVE SCRAP QUILTS! Your advice is so RIGHT ON POINT! QUALITY Quilting Fabric is EXPENSIVE and if I can use the scraps in another quilting project I definitely will! Scrappy quilts are so UNIQUE as no two are exactly the same (they could be if you have enough of the same fabric for both) and even if you use the exact same pattern but with different fabric scraps you have a completely different looking quilt! All of the quilts you showed us are all very different and beautiful! ALL QUILTERS ARE ARTISTS and we should be proud of our creativity no matter whether if a beginner or expert quilter we should be open to continue learning and trying new techniques! Thank you for always inspiring us Amy! 🥰🎉
Your kind words mean so much, thank you! 😊
I love scrap quilts. I just hate throwing away fabric and have made some small scrap quilts. 2023 has been a really hard year. We started with everyone getting Covid. My Dad was living with us and not in good health when the Covid hit. He ended in the hospital with pneumonia. Got thru that and then the strokes came. He finally passed away in August. Broke my finger, wrecked the trailer, ugh! So thru it all I ran to the quilt room and made scrap quilts. I didn't worry about color or points or anything. I made 8 quilts. I have to tell you it was the best therapy! I'm addicted now and find it hard to get back to my fancy quilts. I keep glancing over at that scrap pile. LOL
Oh my goodness love! I’m so glad that scrap quilting helped you through difficult times. There really is something about just sewing squares together. Thanks so much for sharing and watching.
I started out scrap quilting. I was very broke and my mom and aunt were happy to share their scraps with me. Over the years for some reason i got away from it. But still saved all my scraps. So I had bins and bins of scraps. 2yrs ago I went through all the bins and cut all my scraps into my own versions of precuts. The sizes I prefer to use the most. Then I sorted each size by color and neatly stacked in plastic shoe boxes. That helped so much! No longer was it this huge daunting task to dig through scraps. I just grabbed the box with the size I needed and flipped through to the color I was looking for. My scraps were finally getting used again!!! 2 yrs later, I again have an abundance of scraps that need processing. This time i am cutting them all into 60° triangles, and half hexie pieces. I do love a good hexie quilt! I also have some of the Daisy and Grace self binding templates, and I have already precut binding into those shapes and am cutting my larger scraps into these as well. We are planning on moving later this year and having these boxes of "precuts" means I can still quilt even while my yardage is packed for a time.
That’s fantastic!!!
A friend once told me, "if you can use 1 blue, you can use 20 blues" (your equivalent of use more, use more), encouraging me to get out of my matchy-matchy box, and I've never looked back. Thanks for the 4 variations - I'm going to go and try the other three with wild abandon and use up some fabric! Between your videos and Karen Brown's (Just Get it Done Quilts) you've breathed new life into my enthusiasm for all things quilting, and my scraps are looking tamed and organized as well! I'm ever so glad to have found your videos!
Absolutely! Thank you so much for watching and sharing. I am glad that you are so energized! Have the MOST fun!
This is the most interesting
video on color, hues, value, and placement that I have ever seen. The idea of scrappiness is almost incidental. I have to pass this on to all my quilting lady friends and quilting son. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
This was a very comprehensive and well executed video. I am putting it in my watch later list. I wish I had patterns for the examples you showed. If I was not a scrappy quilter I would be now,
Karen Brown of Just Get it Done Quilts is another one who loves talking about color theory. I would love to have her interview Amy for her Quilt Circle podcast.
@@sarahkinsey5434 Why don’t you try texting Karen Brown. She reads everything
You guys are so awesome! Thank you!
I wish YT had a 2 thumbs up. This video deserves it
😊. Thank you!
I agree!!
So I find myself anticipating finishing quilts with new fabric, just so I can play with the leftover scraps!
Oh what fun! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. That was really interesting and I learned a lot.
Thank you so much!
I LOVE scrappy!!! First and foremost because I hate throwing away fabric. That stuff's Expensive plus I was raised by folks who grew up during the depression and WWII. Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. I love the cacophony of color that somehow blends into a beautiful sight. That is magic for me.
It’s magical isn’t it! Thanks for watching.
I love scraps! Always have! They have mucho variety! Much creativity!
I love scrap quilts. Thank you for showing the quilts. Thank you for this wonderful teaching video.
♥️♥️♥️
Oh my gosh!! So thankful that my algorithms found you!!! This video will help so much with my love of scraps! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! I’m glad you’re here!!
I love scrap quilts!
Thanks! Camp scrappy!
Love, love, LOVE scrap quilts! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips!!
Thanks for watching!
As someone who rescues fabric from thrift stores, I find an over dye will help fabric blend together
What a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I have always loved scrappy quilts…I am a Chaos goblin when it comes to colors ❤
♥️ That!
I love a scrap quilt and I love the creativity of a scrapper...my daughter use to cringe when I threw a string of fabric in my scrap bin...she couldn't comprehend the usage of such a small piece of fabric. thanks for sharing
It’s funny how far the fabric goes isn’t it? Thanks so much for watching.
I just love planned scrap quilts. 😊
😊. Thank you!
Love love scrappy of any kind. Thanks Amy.
You are so welcome! 🤗
This video is one of the most articulate, visually focused explanations of scrap quilts I have ever seen! Excellent. I am pro scrap. 👍🏻❤️💫
Wow, thank you!
Love scrapquilt, crumbquilts!
Thank you!
Who doesn’t like scrap quilts
I know! But they’re out there 😜. Thanks for watching!
I love scraps. When I have free time, I love to sew mindless quilt blocks out of crumbs. No two blocks are ever the same. The whole process relaxes me; and, it gives me one of a kind, 8 1/2 inch, unfinished super Crazy blocks (it also helps me sleep like a child again).
That’s a wonderful tactic. I’m so glad it brings you joy. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching.
I do the same Arvetta. Very relaxing. Fun too! So far I have turned crumb blocks into pet blankets.
I make Project Linus quilts out of them.@@KelleysQuiltsandCruises
Freddie Moran! She’s wonderful! I got to take a class with her at an quilt show. Loved it! ❤
What a treat!!!
Love a scrap quilt… I like controlled scrappy personally
Thank you.
Thank you for this! This is the best video I’ve seen over scrap quilts. These are tips that I can actually use!
😊thank YOU!
OK, this is the second time I have watched this video. I love the use of color.
Yay! Thank you! 😊 It means much!
I love scrappy and WILD. Many of my quilts are "unplanned" and pattern-free. Ha ha. I am not the least afraid of scraps. I always say "every color goes together if you use enough colors." After all, every color is in a rainbow and it is beautiful.
♥️. Truth!
Do we look at a 64 count box of crayons and say these don't go together. Swn together scraps of every color can be cut down into different pattern shapes (pin wheels, stars, etc.) and unified by another color.
Great point!
I accidentally came across your video and am so grateful. Love, love, love what I am learning!!!
Welcome! Thank you so much. I’m glad you’re here!
I LOVE SCRAPS! I grew up with the idea of use what you got and you don’t throw things away. So fabric is super valuable to me❤
Plus I like how we need to be creative with them- and creating fills my bucket 😊
That is awesome! Thanks for watching.
I love the explanation on the scrappy quilts.....i love the crumb quilting / scrappy look. I am not a pattern quilter and you have just confirmed that the scrappy way is got more character !!!!..... thanks for sharing your ideas. !
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hey, Amy!
This has been an excellent presentation! I took many screen snaps of the examples you showed us today, so I can refer back to them for future projects.
Yes, I’m a Believer! 😁
Thank you, and stay well!

Thanks so much girlie! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for this. I feel like I just attended a class at Scrap University! I say that with joy! I’m not 100% team scrap yet, but I’m definitely learning. A friend encouraged me to use a Tilda jelly roll to border my first scrap blocks back in January. I bought it in 2020 when I learned to quilt, and didn’t know what to do with it, but just knew I liked it. It completely pulled the blocks together, and it’s at the end of our bed, and used every night. Who knew?! I’m braver now with using scraps, and your lesson helped even more - thank you! Looking forward to more!
I'm so glad! I'm sure you'll be a pro in no time. Your Tilda project sounds wonderful. Thank you for watching and for sharing your ideas.
@@amydement. Of course! Looking forward to Quiltmas or Vlogmas or whatever we’re calling it! Always fun! Using a rainy day in Houston to decorate the tree - then sewing as a reward afterwards! Thanks again for the valuable scrap information.:)🎄and yes, it’s okay to rest.♥️
Thank you - I'm actually 'resting' now before I hop back on the crazy train ;-)
Love scrappy……..you have explained things so clearly as to why I do.
Thank you😊
I love scrap quilts! I'm not always happy with my results and you have made me realize some of the reasons. Thank you!
I'm so glad! Thanks so much for watching.
Nice tips, thanks! Watching this made me think of an additional formula: group your colors. Key to your purple and green quilt, too.
Great tip! Thanks.
I'm loving your approach to your posts - I'm learning alot and very much appreciate how very inclusive you are : )
I appreciate that! Thank you so much!!
You made sense of scrap quilts. So many are just a hodge lodge of colors that they are hard to look at. I used to throw scraps on the floor and removed the ones that offended my eye. Now I’m loving scrap quilts again. The same with crazy quilts. There has to be a method to that madness to made it beautiful.
Hodge pudge.
Thanks so much!
I love scrap quilts. This video has given me so many more ideas of how I can use scraps to for different effect. Love your videoa so much. Thank you for your channel and all the videos you post.
You are so welcome! Thank YOU!😊
Love your knowledge of color theory and how you make it practical and easy to understand. Oh ... and the earthquake, didn't feel a thing! 😏 🧡
Thank you!
I’m camp scrappy. My guild members know I like scrappy fabrics. In the past they have brought me their fabrics. Now we have a free table and I go for the scraps. Love your videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks so much! I ♥️♥️♥️ the free table.
I love scrap quilts. I like them toned down. I have made some of Lori Holt scrap quilts and they turned out beautiful.
That’s wonderful. It’s all about finding what works for you!
Loved your video. I like most scrappy quilts - but have seen some of those hot mess ones you were talking about (not a fan). Your tips were great!!
Several years ago, my Guild had a workshop class on a scrappy quilt - it was my 1st attempt & I wasn’t sure how all the random things I brought could “go together”. The lady next to me & I became fast friends & shared scraps with each other. I loved how mine turned out. & I can pick out the fabrics that were from my new friend (our styles were very different) & it just makes me smile! Totally became hooked!
That’s such a special story. Thank you for sharing and thank you for watching!!
I really enjoyed this video and I learned a lot. I am one who loves scrappy quilts in all shapes and sizes. I love to see what I can come up with and enjoy the process.
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching.
I love scrappy quilts! One of my favorite blocks is the disappearing 9 patch, and as you were talking about it, I wondered what it would look like smaller, and I am totaling LOVING the smaller scale, which I never thought about doing! Thanks for the great tips - can't wait to go make some scrappy blocks!
You are so welcome! I was so charmed by how the tiny disappearing 9 turned out. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks so much for all the great info on scraps - I love making scrap quilts and try to use all of my scraps.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for talking about quilts, which you do an amazing job of, but talking about pain is something people don’t talk enough about.
I struggle with physical and emotional pain and the last couple years have been horrible and take a toll on me and my family.
Nobody knows exactly what is wrong with me, but I break bones like it’s my job. As a result I have so much pain. My husband has to do everything to maintain our household and he’s the sole provider. He works very long hours as he is in emergency medical care, so he can be gone 15- 48 hours at a time.
Talk about frustration, I’m a worker not a sitter and I just can’t work. It is so mentally draining me. I’m very creative and I enjoy being creative when I can, even if it’s for a small window of time. Like you, I set up things to do when I’m not able to sew. It’s the only thing keeping me some sanity.
My son and his family understand what is going on with me, as my son has inherited my pain and he has broken several bones, but not as many as I have, thankfully. Then I have 2 daughters that think that I’m a fake, they even think that I break my bones on purpose, but I typically do it with someone with me and as bad as my bones break I couldn’t do that no matter what. That absolutely makes me sad, mad and most of all just hurt.
Sorry to rant, but I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your sharing and to let you know that you’re not alone.
Thank you so much for sharing. I am so sorry that you struggle so. The pain and physical stuff is one thing but the mental strain it incurs is an all together different illness - especially with support challenges. I hope you find moments of joy and peace and I’m really glad you’re here. ♥️♥️♥️
@@amydement. 😘
OMG. Excellent explanation. I used to hate scraps, but now I love them
Thank you! I’m so glad you made friends with scraps - so many possibilities
I loved all those quilts. My favorite quilts ever! I made one quilt exactly the same four colors the same snails trail 😳hardest quilt I ever made honestly. And it was a baby quilt....
Oh wow! Snails trail is such a complicated block. Thanks so much for sharing.
I am definitely a use more, use more girl, and always have been. One thing I love about scraps is the memories. I love going to a quilt and being able to say: my grandma had a dress out of this fabric, my mom made this dress for me when I was little. Yes, I still have scraps going way back to my grandma that haven't been used yet.
Love that! Thank you for sharing.
The image that pops into my mind in scrap quilts is what is behind you. I default to Grunge especially Grunge polka dot - love me some polka dots especially tonal polka dots. My other default is text - love, love, love a good text especially if it's a tonal text like Alison Glass or something Frenchie like Tim Holtz that isn't really tonal but has such a beautiful look to allow other fabrics to stand out as it blends and blurs the edges.
Ohhhh - love the blue quilt! Is it weird that the yellow quilt reminds me of looking through wood slate shades to the outside on a bright sunny day? Oh! the green quilt reminds me of the Wizard of Oz tornado! I love it! I'd through some red in there for the slippers - just one little piece!
Oh red in that green would be cool!! Thanks so much for watching and text prints - those are awesome and do exactly that - blue edges softening the whole look. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, I’m a believer now! I never liked them before but I like what you’ve done.
Thank you! I’m winning scrappers over one by one 😝😊
LOVE scrappy quilts!!!
Thank you me too! 😊😆
Just found you. I think I’ll binge your channel!! Thx for adding a unique approach to quilting video content.
Oh thank you so much! I’m glad you’re here!!
I don't care for scrappy (viewing or making). I see more that I dislike than I like. Having said that, I have a scrappy kaleidoscope quilt on my design wall, and I don't hate it. I do make scrap fabric for market bags that I enjoy using and giving to people. And I like to make 3"F paper pieced economy blocks as I can utilize lots of small pieces.
To get the colorways that are really striking and pleasing to my eye that requires more work than I want to put in a scrap quilt AND more scraps than I care to organize and accumulate. Your video was a wonderful distillation of color and value.
Thank you! I totally understand that scrappy - regardless of execution- is not everyone’s cup of tea and knowing that about yourself is awesome. It will save you so much time and you can work on what you truly love instead of trying to force an idea or process that just isn’t ‘you.’ Thank you so much for watching and sharing.
GREAT tutorial. Very helpful. I have always been an "orderly" quilter. Even as a child staying inside the lines while coloring got the praise...that warped my freedom of expression. Thank you for the encouragement to put some personal creativity into my next quilt. Wish me luck.
You are so welcome! I totally understand - I am a ‘get the gold star’ girl myself. I hope you enjoy spreading your wings and finding your way. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Amy! I am a new quilter. I just started this summer out of necessity. I needed new couch covers. I love scrap quilting. I actually dislike working with a pattern so scrap quilting is my way of getting around having to use a pattern. I think the beauty of it is the artistic freedom granted when you use scraps of fabric to create something out of a pile of leftovers and previously discarded bits and pieces. Today’s video was a great topic to talk about. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so much. I love your artistic and creative spirit!
That was really interesting! I love scrappy quilts, but I couldn’t have said why I like some but not others. Thanks for the explanation. 😊-Deborah
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Win win for me - love scraps and love your videos x
Thank you for watching!
I love scrappy quilts! What an inspiration!
😊
Super informative Amy. Love scrappy but not chaos and you truly broke it all down for us. Also sorry I missed your live today but will catch the replay ❤
Thank you!
I love scraps too!
YAY - scrappy friend!
Every quilt I make is scrappy, and I love all things scrappy. Thanks for this video of brain ticklers…this will really up my scrappy quilt game. 😊
You are so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful! Thank you.
I prefer scrappy quilts as for me less stressful to make. Great tips on controlling scrappy quilts. TY
You are so welcome! 🤗
Definitely good info. I like scrappy quilts but often am disappointed when I put them together. This info encourages me to approach it a little more strategically. Thank you! ❤
I’m so glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
One of the best pieces of quilting advice I have had is that if something doesn’t match, add more. I love scrappy and I love all your tips to make a cohesive quilt.
Yes! Thank you! That’s exactly it!
Love scraps quilts because they use up material that may otherwise hit the trash or be given to some charity organization that may then trash them. Also they sew up quickly and look great when finished--usually! 😊
Exactly! I love making something from ‘nothing’.
Love all of the examples of color. And I really like the make it smaller idea. Thanks so very much. 🥰🥰
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the lesson can’t wait to start a more scrappy quilt.
Awesome! Thank YOU for watching.
I’ve always loved scraps. Now I know how to put them together. Thanks.
You are so welcome!
Nice of all colors group and different prints ; neat quilt
Thank you! 😊
This video has been one of the most interesting things I have seen recently. Thank you for all that information!
Thank you so much!
I love your video, this is the best master class I’ve seen about use o scraps. Thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you 😊
Most interesting scrap quilt video I have seen...most videos on this topic do not entice me to make one but you have several examples that are exciting and worthy of their time.
Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked it.
Red is my favorite color! Once Freddy Moran told me that, I felt it gave me permission to use it (or others) as a neutral. This was a great video. I learned so much about all that you mentioned when I did my first Bonnie mystery. I LOVE how you have put all the things to think about and remember about scrap quilts in one place with this video. I know I will be returning to this so often. Thank you!,
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching and sharing- Freddy is a treasure!!
These are great tips Amy! I love the use more/use more approach! Well demonstrated. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching.
Great tutorial! Thank you! I love scrappy… could be because I have way too many scraps!
2024 will be my year of scrap quilts! Big goal: get scraps down to one bin!!! Nine may be too many😅😂😊
Good luck! That is a big awesome goal!! ♥️♥️♥️
love 'em because they are like a mixed bag of lollies! too many to like just one.
♥️
I just found you! OMGosh! I love you! First, thank you for getting to the point quickly ... and in such an energetic but not over the top voice. Second, this! I hate the cacophany of most scrap quilts. I have made them, but have made "controlled" versions. However, at 64 ... I need to use up some doggone fabric! Love your ideas. I watched several other videos and they are all just great. Did I say, "Thanks?" Did I say, "I love you?" Thanks and I love you!
Oh my gosh HI new bestie! Thank you so much. ♥️♥️♥️
@@amydement. Lol! If I lived near you, I'd insist on at least monthly lunches! Robin - President Amy Dement Stalking Club
I'd take you up on that! Totally!
Great information! Loved all the examples to go with the explanations. Scraps are my favorites and this video certainly gave me more things to think about and play with. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
I have only made one quilt over the past few years that was NOT a scrap quilt! I have been given a lot of fabrics, so I very seldom need to purchase anything, unless it has a specific purpose in my scrappy quilt! Loved the video!
Thank you. That makes my heart happy!
I have been quilting for 23 years and never made a scrap quilt. I very seldom follow a pattern exactly with the designer’s fabric either. That said I am still collecting pieces for scrap quilts so I guess it is time to start thinking about them. Those scraps are all sorted and cut according to Bonnie’s instructions from a Guild presentation many years ago! I am a good student.
Woohoo! You’re already ahead of the game with everything cut and sorted. I hope you enjoy digging into those treasures and making scrappy quilts. Thank you for watching.
LOVE scrappy. For many reasons. I’m an environmental chemist and so my day job is that I help to clean up our planet. So using scraps helps me to be mindful of sustainability. Scrap quilting challenges me to make beauty out of leftovers. It makes me giddy when I make a scrap quilt and it “works”. When I have gotten it right and the value, color…all the things you mentioned make my scraps sing. I know I will always buy fabric cuz I’m addicted to fabric. But it gives your beautiful fabric a new life when you can use those scraps up in another quilt. It gives me more toys in my toy box.❤
Absolutely! 100% Everything you said! Thanks for watching and sharing and for helping save the world!
Excellent tutorial! Great color samples! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great video Amy!! You are very knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Very informative, and useful to me. I love to make scrap quilts, and you've helped me realize why some have been more successful than others.
Wonderful! Thank you so much!
I am not a fan of making scrappy quilts. They are just too busy for me. However, you have given me a couple of ideas on what to do with the scraps that I have kept because I really liked the fabric.
I totally understand and I’m glad you found new ideas. Thanks for watching!
Thankyou this was so informative I love the scrap quilts and I can see what you are saying they look so much better, thanks again Amy great job
You are so welcome! Thank YOU!
Oh, Amy, you've done it again. Charmed me into watching a video that kind of scared me (I'm not sure I could tell you why it scared me...I put off watching it for a few days). What good information! You explained why some of my scrap quilts work and why some of them don't. Now I can't wait to try some of your techniques...especially the sashing and background suggestions. Thanks for another stellar video.
You are most welcome!! I’m glad you braved it and enjoyed it. Thanks so much.
You sound like a scrap guru, I love scrap quilts but have been afraid to make one bc I didn't want it to look muddy your video makes sense and is so helpful. Thanks so much, I can't wait to try these formulas. Now Im going to go watch more of your videos and see what else I can learn.
Glad it was helpful! And I’m glad you’re here! Thank you so much for your kind words.
This was fabulous. I have made so many postage stamp quilts and used white or black for every other square to make them not so overwhelming and allowing the eye to have a place to land. I will be changing things up and I am VERY grateful!
Thank you!
Love them!!! Thanks for the great ideas.
Thank so much.
Amy, thanks you so much for this video; I shared it in Facebook with my quilt group... it is excellent especially all the examples provided - I am a great lover of scraps.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful.
Found your video while scrolling through my insomnia. This is the best tutorial on color and value I’ve ever seen, especially for scrap quilts. thank you!
Wow, thank you! I’m glad I could keep you company while you couldn’t sleep. I don’t sleep well either. I hope you can rest today. Thank you for watching.
Color and value are an important aspect to beautiful quilts - an aspect I have lots of insecurities with. And red is a neutral?!?!? I love it! Sharing your knowledge and insight is very helpful to me. I am looking forward to making something out of my scraps and I think I will start with a mini quilt so as not to overwhelm myself. Thanks you Amy!
Absolutely! Be bold! Have fun!
