Love the Baptist Fan 🥰 Not sure I have the patience to work with those templates though 🤷🏻‍♀️ Your quilt looks wonderful 👏👏🇬🇧

I'm impressed. Do be kind to yourself. Thank you

Hope you can keep up with a fortnightly video - really enjoying the content. Thanks for sharing ❤👍from Somerset

Unfortunately I tend to use most scraps to create random strips for the quilt backing, then use these strips to extend the backing fabric to make it wide and/or long enough. Love your granny squares but wouldn’t like to cut off the ‘corners’ to create a square 😳 I’m wondering if it’s possible to create the same thing with strips of squares 🤔🤔 or will it drive me crazy 🤪 Another great idea 👍 So many quilts, so little time 😢 👏👏🇬🇧

I have bins, mostly by colour. Then there are the bins of just scraps.

This is lovely. I am definitely going to have a go. I just found you yesterday on your scappy video. ( I love scap quilts too.) And subscribed. Thank you.

Very pretty block.

I’ll definitely have ago !

I don’t precut my scraps into tiny pieces, because I prefer bigger blocks.

I love scrap quilts and make a lot of them. I don't precut my scraps and I don't sort them by color. Mostly they're in a basket and the smaller bits (nothing under ~1 inch) are in their own box. Mostly I make a variation of a scrappy vortex or crumb quilt. I do look at my scraps and I might think, this quilt needs more red, and cut a few strips of red from the stash. I might say, no pinks in this quilt, or no muddy colors, or whatever strikes my fancy of the moment. Sometimes I say never say never but I've never made a monochromatic scrappy quilt and don't think I will. I've made some potholders I like a lot with the bitty scraps. I make two little scrappy pieced squares, about 8 inches more or less, and machine quilt each with batting leftovers and random backing, then join the two with binding.

This a great scrap quilt and I love the finished one you showed! This is now on my list of scrap quilts to make😃

This block in its simplicity is one of my favorites, yet I’ve never made a quilt out of it. Maybe making a quilt out of these block will help reduce my scrap collection this year!

I literally have small cabinets of drawers under my cutting table (2 folding tables side by side) which is quite large. Each drawer has a different color of scraps. Name the color and there's a drawer for it. I'm 73 and have been sewing and quilting for many, many years, plus an Etsy business, and the scraps have grown exponentially. My stash is enormous as well. I just wish I was super woman and could bust through a lot of it. When I die some lucky individual will have come upon quite a treasure of fabrics. They could open their own shop. hahaha

I had the same thing with my green scraps. I couldn’t close the lid on it. I went through and cut them into strips and squares, but it was a lot of work. I haven’t tackled the other colours yet. But I don’t make a lot of green quilts. It’s a mystery where all that fabric came from.

Another great youtuber for scrap quilts is Lori Dickman.

I do love scrap Quilts as well. I saw a tutorial yesterday from the quilting compound. It is a wonderful scrap quilt.

I love my scraps!! Sometimes they are like free fabric! 😊 I clean and organize my sewing room every january. For the last 3yrs i have tried a different scrap system each year. They all go well for a couple months, then i fall off and they just sit in their bins. 🤦 this year instead of a size or shape system, i am just sorting them by color. I have a booth at our local farmers market in the summer and do a few fall/winter craft fairs. So if the scrap is large enough to cut a small bag or wallet from, i am doing that. Then whats left goes in its color bin. I am planning on making scrappy crumb fabric tote bags this year, but keeping them in color ways to be more appealing to my customers. Hopefully this will help me use more of my scraps!

I Love scrap quilts! Here @TH-cam & in the USA I follow Lori Holt & Bonnie Hunter--2 excellent Scrap Queens. I use Bonnie's "Leader & Ender" method to sew 2 projects at once. Being a retired teacher, I repurposed standing plastic drawer units for scrap management sorted by color rather than size. I tried the pre-cutting method but found I am just too lazy for that!! I constantly challenge myself to look 1st in the scraps before I cut into larger pieces. Very much enjoyed finding your channel today! Looking forward to your progress in 2025.

Just found your channel. Love your sense of humour! Opening your cupboard of doom! Really made me chuckle. I have worked hard to find all my fabric. I have only confirmed what I knew. Way to much was the answer. The January days are mostly dreary in Southern Ontario Canada. One day above freezing the next 7 to 10 below. So I hole up in my lair aka the sewingroom and what for spring.

Yes I love keeping scraps. But it can be a bit overwhelming. I have spent so much time cutting scraps that now have a guilty feeling that I should be using them up. It started with making 4 patches out of my children novelty fabric. 200 plus 4 patches. Then what? I saw the potato chip videos. So I cut up my neutrals from mask and cap making. Then I had 200 plus bigger blocks but kind of dull. So I potato chipped more kid fabric. To make another round. Augh the stress of matching the four patches. I can't do completely random. The tops will all go to charity for kids. I have 3 tops finished. But it is really not fun sewing them anymore. I have so many other things I would rather do. Including more scraps.... I definitely need a plan. After this I think i will leave things in bigger pieces and make bigger pieced blocks for charity. I get the cutting down and having a ready to sew project, but it has created a self-imposed pressure only I can solve. Lol

I just finished a log cabin quilt today from my green scraps. I do LOVE a scrap quilt too! It’s amazing how little difference it seems to have made in my scrap bin, but I will continue on with blue next!

Potato Chip Blocks are quick and easy!!!

Emma you are an influencer !! I now find myself chopping up 2.5 inch scraps with a view to making those lovely blocks - watch this space xx

I usually cut up my leftovers into strips and sort by color. I do like making pineapple blocks with the strips keeping each block in a colorway. Thanks for sharing

Oh my Quilters basically love their new fabrics and next quilt top to be started before others are complete! This 2025 has my vg intentions of completing those pieced tops and their remaining blocks!! Just found you and having only tens brilliant idea with the timer. Your sense of humour 😊 It is cold windy days here on Bay Of Fundy, Canada. Wood stove is lovely and I have some sewing time now. 🥂cheers to 2025 and all our well and good intentions.

Happy New Year! Good to have you back! would welcome longer videos - they are real and full of humour!

Yay🎉🎉 - you’re back, love listening to your lovely ramblings & humour xx

Happy New Year 🥳 I love your flying geese quilt top 😃 Shame you aren’t keen 😮 I might try to make one myself 🤔 and try to make an impact on my fabric stash 🤣🤣

Your Bonnie and Camille quilt is quite exquisite. It would be fun to see more of you. You have a nice sense of humor, as well.

Beautiful thank u

The “Macaron” Quilt was absolutely lovely. I quilt with a group top makers for a charity in the US. We are always looking for colorful patterns. Thank you for your generosity.

I have one of those cupboards too. Reminds me of my kitchen doodads drawer. To be opened only after prayer with due care and attention

Your sewing space looks too neat !!! lol 😂

What a lovely quilt! So much work and thoughts going into them, by so many hands. I wish I knew of someone in my area who does longarm quilting. I love making the quilt tops, but struggle quilting them with my domestic machines.

Hi. Brenda from Conquering Mount Scrapemore recomended your videos

That quilt is beautiful. I am going to ask in my area in NE Alabama to see if anyone can use any quilts. We are in a small rural county. Great job.

Beautiful quilt and information. I have participated in a sibling quilt program for children in foster care thru my guild. It can be difficult to keep all children with siblings so there is a summer camp program for a week. And siblings get to go to camp and just be kids. Great job for whoever made the quilt and to you for finishing it. As of my post, you have 996 subscribers. Hope it will be 1000 soon.

So good of you. It looks wonderful!

Best wishes

Another great catchup Emma - love the bumble bee quilt x

Yes I put a label on all my quilts. Either hand written or on my embroidery machine to document when it was made, where and by whom and who it went to.

I try to always add a label to the quilts I make for people 👍 My Bernina, a quilting edition, has an alphabet, so I start each label with - This quilt was made with love and stitches for …. Attaching a label is NOT my favourite job 😳😳 so I’m trying to remember to actually sew it into the backing piece before I create my quilt sandwich, and I get quite cross with myself if I forget 😂😂 Looking forward to seeing all your finished quilts 😃 and I’m really keen to make a pinwheel quilt 🥰 👏👏🇬🇧

I just hand write the laundering instructions. I mainly make quilts for the NICU department. Cheers, Lynn

my long arm also dislikes going right to left. Thread breaks easily unless I go VERY slow. I don’t usually do labels. But when I do I have some that I had made off ETSY with a logo my friend made for me…but I usually forget to sew it in

I am lucky enough to own an embroidery machine so i just embroider a little note and made label directly onto the quilt. am very envious of your long arm! I lost my quilting mojo a while ago but am just getting back into it. mind you, i have decided to make a cathedral window quilt this year - not sure what i was thinking!!

Hello. Which Bernina machine do you have and where did you purchase it from please? Assuming it was the UK xx

Isn’t Oregon beautiful?

Such a beautiful quilt 🌺 Can’t wait to see the photos of the quilt and get the measurements of it as well, I would love to make one myself
