    This is the only way I make quilts. I watched a tutorial for a table runner from someone years ago. I figured out how to just enlarge everything to make a quilt.

      How big have you made? Do you use wider strips? I might try a large throw. Did you use fusible batting?

      I have a longarm so feel it necessary to use it. However, if I were without one I would totally do quilt as you go.

      ​@suehorn4182 sorry to butt in, but maybe I can help. I look for patterns using smallish blocks that can be assembled in rows (check out her charm packs series!) and treat the assembled rows like strips. Anything that assembles like a 4 or 9-patch works for me, I don't complete the blocks. I sew the components into rows. 4-patch blocks = 2 rows, 9-patch = 3. If I need more quilting density, I crosshatch with alternating corner to corner chevron zig zags. I make only large throw/twin or smaller. They roll & fit my small throated machine.

    And of course, if your scraps are widths other than 2.5", just add them on and the differing widths creates some variety. Good basic pattern.

      If not, use the blues as your focus color and fill with a lot of neutrals. It'll be beautiful, and he'll love to snuggle with it

    I’ve really enjoyed this series! When you first showed all the buckets I wondered if you were crazy to have amassed so many strips, but then we saw your store (which I would love to shop at) and your production rate!! Your efficiency is inspiring and you have so many tips it’s been very worthwhile watching the whole series.

    Thank you for such a easy way to quilt as you go. Also for the easy instructions to follow. I have lots of fabric, and a lot of leftover strips. That would benefit a quilt made this way. Also I like the fact that you're sewing and quilting it at the same time. Looking forward to your next video.

    When trimming I like to leave 1/4” to 1/2” beyond the edge to leave batting that will fill the binding. That way I don’t lose the design into the binding. Also, don’t bother backtacking because you cut it off when trimming.

      To me, homespun is 100 percent cotton fabric with a looser weave and small imperfections - like it was woven (spun) at home. It usually comes in plaids and other simple designs and muted colors. Hope that helps.❤❤
