I have been sewing for about 68 years. The very first video that I saw of yours I learned so very much about the thread! I sew mostly clothes as I started a business , like a million years ago, sewing for larger women. One lady was going on a cruise and wanted a sexy bathing suit. Word spread from there and it just kind of exploded. I am retired now and only sew for who I want to sew for. I am going to sew a great grand baby quilt for my great grand babies. So I am going to "binge" watch all your videos. Thank you so much for your videos. They are so informative that I have sent your video link to many of my friends that quilt. Some of them professionally. I do not do longarm, but they do. Thank you again. Deborah
This was like a mystery movie, waiting for each of your magic steps. So much fun and no hair pulling and screaming. I have done the "old" method with lots of waste and lackluster results. As always I appreciate your calm voice that always carries such notes of joy which gives me hope for my project. You are a great teacher.
Wow! Feels like it is perfect for a vest pattern with piped or flanged side and shoulder seams. Also any ombre fabric would be fascinating to try with this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing, and I can hardly wait to try it. P.S. Before, I always did a braid, instead of a herringbone, with half hexagons. I like the ‘zipper magic’ of using logs (rectangles) instead. 😎🌱🌿💚
lol, I’ve almost stopped watching 3 times, but somehow you draw me back at just the right moment. I had to remind myself a few times that this was a mini model; I’m very keen to try it at full size! So colourful! Thanks for this one. Your tenacity is inspiring to me.
Dannnnnng, this is incredible! I love the look of heringbone but winced at the thought of all the waste. What a fantastic solution! Thanks so much. This will be fun to try!
That was my reaction!! I hated all that cut off! And it didn't even seem like useful scraps since they were weird shapes. I knew there had to be a better way!
This is absolutely brilliant! I think I would try a floor pillow or baby quilt size as a first time project. Thank you for another fantastic tutorial-always appreciated 🧡
Thank you for putting out this UA-cam again, it’s my favorite. I need it if I haven’t made the pattern for awhile. I would buy an in depth, well illustrated pattern if you wanted to publish it.
Ummm, last night in my insomnia I watched your video and then this afternoon I had to make it. It was amazingly easy and I love the way it turned out. Can’t wait to make another one!
Wow….love the end result….but way too too much work! For those who like to piece, this is a great method for not waste of fabric! Great job and patience 😋🤗
I love that you are doing tutorials on more advanced techniques!! (If I never see another HST tutorial… enough said.) Thank you!! This looks like a fun puzzle to explore and I love that it won’t add to my growing crumbs collection!
Thank you for all the work you have put into this pattern. This zipper quilt turned into one of my go-to quilts. I scale it down (5”X18” pieces) for baby quilts, and scale it up by adding more chevrons and more rows of chevrons, for a wonderful wedding gift. I ordered more fabric to make it again for a gift, so thank you again for your pattern.
This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I want to make a chevron quilted item but I wanted to maintain as big of pieces as possible to not break up the pattern. I was frustrated that the square triangle method cuts the design unnecessarily. ❤❤❤
THANK YOU for embracing the dreaded Y seam! I've always thought things would work out better if we just sucked it up and sewed them. An lo and behold - voila! Amazing results! Thanks for always bringing a thoughtful approach to making lovely things. Love, love, love your tutorials!
I have now watch this for the third time as I am working on my third project using this technique. I have been using jelly rolls. This one I did three panels before I sold them together. Love how it turns out. Love the limited waste. Always enjoy your videos. Cheers.
Thank you for this video. Clear, concise, easy to follow directions. I've been saving blue jeans since the 80s. I used 16 pairs making a quilt for my 10 yo granddaughter using this technique. My strips were 30' x 6'. It came out to a queen size and perfect. I wish I could share a photo of it with you. Thanks again!
Wow! This is beautiful and it's a project I actually understand how to assemble, thanks to your thorough instructions! I love your videos, you're such a good teacher! Your quilt is stunning. The fabric choices are so beautifully artistic. You're just amazing! Thank you for sharing so much with the quilting community ❤️
THX! Heading to a retreat at the end of this month, and I’m making a stained glass denim ombré quilt for my amazing daughter. I so appreciate your insightful techniques!😊
Ive seen this video like 3 times since you posted it and I think I'm going to try it. Can't get the idea out of my head! It would be sooooo cooooool! and I would feel like a magic wizard when I was done.
I made this quilt in less than a day. Super fun. Had to watch video a few times while making. It was like a magic trip in fabric. Thanks again, Megan, for great you tube quilting content!!!
This wonderful! Such a cool trick to use in order to save the fabric that is normally cut off and discarded or recycled. Thanks so much. Take care and blessings to y'all.
Megan, this is so very clever! In the midst of making a herringbone background, I found this video! I love that there is no waste from cutting off the ends on each side, and I'm so pleased that my quilt is just a little larger! Thank you so much for posting this tutorial.
this is my favorite quilt to make. I prefer a boho style and these work in with my decor very well imo! My family calls them 'broken herringbone' and I just did a google search and see others call it that also. You never know with my family and made up names for everything 🤣🤣

The Opinionated Quilter sent me here and I'm so glad she did. Genius!
It wasn't until you cut the first "tube" that I understood what you were doing. Brilliant! *sigh* - Add another to my list of projects to try.
Lol. Sorry? But not really :). This is a really fun quick one so I hope you enjoy it :)

I spent the evening looking for someone to show me how to do this! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤
This tiny one is a perfect size for a bag panel! My brain is turning! 😁😁😁🤓🤓
Dannnnnng, this is incredible! I love the look of heringbone but winced at the thought of all the waste. What a fantastic solution! Thanks so much. This will be fun to try!

I love this quilt! Now, on jellyroll-day 2023, I'm making this with a jellyroll. Thank you so much for sharing!
I hope to see you back soon.
This is amazing! Mind blown 😮
This is absolutely brilliant! I think I would try a floor pillow or baby quilt size as a first time project. Thank you for another fantastic tutorial-always appreciated 🧡
Thanks! The little pieces I used were about 1 1/2 x 5 and I ended up with a 12" block. Hopefully that helps you size a bit for a smaller quilt :)
Idk how you ever thought of all this but its amazing thank you
Well, aren’t you clever?! I’m a little bit crafty and a little bit geeky, so this was right up my alley. New subscriber here.
Lynn how are you doing over there
Wow! Now that’s what you call a PUZZLE. Only you could explain it this well!!!
Thank you for putting out this UA-cam again, it’s my favorite. I need it if I haven’t made the pattern for awhile. I would buy an in depth, well illustrated pattern if you wanted to publish it.
Made it using upcycled upholstery material! Worked out well and the instructions were very good. Thanks!
You area a GENIUS 🥇🧠🫵🏻🤩
Brilliant,absolutely amazing, I smile blessing beautiful lady 🇨🇦🌻🙏🌻🙏🌻🙏
Hello
This was one of the most interesting tutorials. So glad I found it. Was sent to this video by the opinionated quilter. Loved it.
Oh my word!🎉 Herringbone with no waste. No excuses not to make one of this awesome quilts now. Thank you so much! And my scrap basket thanks you too!
What a clever way to construct that quilt. Now to find the perfect fabrics for it...
Nicole how are you doing over there
Guess what I'm doing tomorrow? First time I am seeing one of your tutorials, glad I found you. Great job on the instructions.
This was great.
I also noticed that The Opinionated Quilter liked this video/concept. She's a tough audience. Congrats.
Not sure when you made this BUT I LOVE IT ❤️ GO GIRL. I can't wait to learn more!!❤
Thanks!
Ummm, last night in my insomnia I watched your video and then this afternoon I had to make it. It was amazingly easy and I love the way it turned out. Can’t wait to make another one!
Me too! Confident it will work so am going to get busy today!!!!! How smart this young lady is. Who would have thought of this fabric-saving idea!!!!!
Thank you for this video. You've given me a great idea for a border to my hexagon quilt. ❤
Wow….love the end result….but way too too much work! For those who like to piece, this is a great method for not waste of fabric! Great job and patience 😋🤗
Just brilliant 👏
I love that you are doing tutorials on more advanced techniques!! (If I never see another HST tutorial… enough said.) Thank you!! This looks like a fun puzzle to explore and I love that it won’t add to my growing crumbs collection!
What an incredible teacher you are! This is the only tutorial that I've seen that makes sense to me! Thank you for sharing.

I scale it down (5”X18” pieces) for baby quilts, and scale it up by adding more chevrons and more rows of chevrons, for a wonderful wedding gift.

How did you even think of this?!? Genius!
This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I want to make a chevron quilted item but I wanted to maintain as big of pieces as possible to not break up the pattern. I was frustrated that the square triangle method cuts the design unnecessarily. ❤❤❤
Thankyou for showing me on how to stitch this together without trimming off all the small pieces on the sides will be doing this to my quilt
Wow! Love it! I think if i can pull this off, I would earn a phd in fabric engineering!
Thank you for this tutorial. Love the way this quilt doesn't need to be cut and there is no waste.
Oh I think your 1 - Hour quilt video will have competition for the most views on your channel with this pattern 😀
It worked. I did it! Thank you for this “no waste” version!!!
My mind is blown. 🤯 This is incredible!! Your tutorials are my favorite quilt tutorials on UA-cam!! Thank you for another fun and free project!
After doing the top and bottom - I think I would be tempted to make a barrel pillow. (If working in that small size)
You did it again, great video
THANK YOU THANK YOU You are great to me. I’m in the hospital seeing this and all I want is to go home and tried this Greetings from Switzerland
Omg how clever is that! 😍😍😍
I'm so happy to found your video of this dramatic mystery sewing ♡
🥰 very impressive ❤
Nice job teaching. Showed all the important steps and pointed out where it might look different on a larger scale.
Amazing. I don’t think I’ll try it but your instructions are wonderful. 🌺
Wow, quite a technique. Great video!!!!
THANK YOU for embracing the dreaded Y seam! I've always thought things would work out better if we just sucked it up and sewed them. An lo and behold - voila! Amazing results! Thanks for always bringing a thoughtful approach to making lovely things. Love, love, love your tutorials!

Love it!
And great to see it worked in miniature for those of us who sew mostly for dolls.
AMAZING! Thank you so much for this genius method. Blessings.
Just love this. And the Anna Marie Horner quilt.
It is so refreshing to see something new regarding an old pattern! Well done!
Megan, you are a genius! Thanks for this great tutorial!
this is so cool! Thanks so much!. I enjoy your videos so much and so happy to have found you. Your style is so much my jam! Happy dance
A great way to do this. Thank you! 🤗
Great video - Great idea. When the video started I thought I could do this with EPP. Having watched the whole video I know I can do it your way.
Genius!! 😁😊
I love this! So clever! I can't wait to try!
I like the smaller size, it’s cute!

Hello how are you doing
THX! Heading to a retreat at the end of this month, and I’m making a stained glass denim ombré quilt for my amazing daughter. I so appreciate your insightful techniques!😊
Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!!! Gotta love your fabric choice for the quilt xxx
Anna Maria sure does make some absolutely gorgeous and equally hard to use prints! lol. I wanted to keep the pieces as big as I could :)
@@TinyOrchardQuilts I agree with you, so pretty and hard to cut up, like Kaffe and Tula too xxx
You are just fabulous! I love the way your brain works! Thanks, pretty lady!
Very clever, I love it ❤
That is magic! I can't wait to show your video to my friends.
Oh my goodness! I have used herringbone for borders many times, but a whole quilt? and with no waste! This is definitely on my bucket list now.
Excellent! Thanks for the video!
Fabulous- going to make one for Project Linus U.K. 🙂
So creative
Your instructions were clear and step by step. That made it easy to follow. Thanks

Wonderful, truly wonderful! Thanks so much. Liz from Somerset, UK
I love it in this “mini size”!
You did an excellent video for this type of sewing. Thanks
Super video!!
Amazing 🎉 thank you!
Wouldn't be so hard hand stitched ❤😂
Fantastic!
This is a wonderful idea that I never new about . No waste !
This wonderful! Such a cool trick to use in order to save the fabric that is normally cut off and discarded or recycled. Thanks so much. Take care and blessings to y'all.
Wow, Megan! So cool! 😲
I love your technique for this no waste quilt. Definitely going in my repertoire. Thanks so much for sharing.
Clever!

Anne how are you doing over there
You are such a great teacher!! Thanks!!
I just love your videos!
Ingenious! Excellant!
Thank you! :)
Wow! Thank you for this. I can’t wait to make one. You are a clever mathematician AND a magician!!
Amazing how your brain works!
This is so clever! Thank you
Thanks abigail! :)
That was very interesting
this is my favorite quilt to make. I prefer a boho style and these work in with my decor very well imo! My family calls them 'broken herringbone' and I just did a google search and see others call it that also. You never know with my family and made up names for everything 🤣🤣
Love it thank you🤔😍
