You good at explaining the block. Your drawn diagrams were very very very helpful. It's a good visual tool. I need a step by step explanation with pictures. You delivered. When you showed a daeker center variation, a I spy quilt came to mind. If you used primary or pastel (baby) colors, it would make a cute quilt. I would put different prints in the centers for I spy.
YAY! So glad this video is helpful! You are right! This would make a great I Spy quilt! Wonderful suggestion. Thank you! This would be perfect for that. 🥰
I have only made two quilts using fabric that I have bought specifically for a quilt I am about to make. I stopped counting how many quilts I have made once I hit over 50. Everything comes out of my stash. I have bought a lot of it, sometimes at yard sales, thrift store sales (25 or 50 cents for a fat quarter!), gifts of fabric and I do product reviews for Amazon's Vine program, so a lot of fat quarters; charm packs, rulers, batting, thread, etc. So I always feel like I am making free quilts.
If you don't have a spare wall for a design wall... you can make a portable one with 2 or 3 folds like a room divider. With thick card or light weight foam board like is used in framing prints etc. Or use particle board with blocks turned into lip on feet to hold it up. If you cover both sides you can use it in any configuration, sample blocks on one side, whole quilt on the other? Then fold it up and store beside a cupboard when not needed? You have probably already thought about this idea though. I have seen the right sized batting pinned up then taken down with the top on it and a new piece used for the next one? Of coourse you will find a solution that will work for you. Love this quilt and how you've adjusted it it's georgous.
I love tutorials that show us how to use scraps, but I really love how you made a controlled scrappy quilt because those always look so much better. This was a 10!
Beautiful quilt‼️loved your explanations and tips of putting the quilt together. I would have liked to see the finished back of the quilt and how you pieced it together.
Thank you so much! I didn't think to show that completely, but I do have short on it. Hopefully this will help some: th-cam.com/users/shortsU9MFX_c33cE?si=O7oQ_6sekXxz_6K_
Thank you! This is the best compliment! I have been trying to cut out the extras like watching me sew, etc. in my videos unless is it absolutely necessary. It can be tricky to have that balance. ❤️
Thank you for this lovely quilt. I think I might try this, after my back heals. It's getting better and at the moment, I am hand quilting a 50+year old quilt. Like anything else, one stitch at a time; thank you again with a wonderful tutorial!
Im about to but together block a!! I did block b first! Lol can’t wait to get these together. I did it with Christmas scraps and now am regretting some of my choices but oh well!! Still going with it to keep it no spend. (Ultimately I used too many repeats!! 😬)
Oh! I love that you made it with Christmas scraps! How wonderful is that? I hope those choices you are regretting work out. Sometimes those "misses" are the very thing that makes the quilt interesting! Also, the quilting always makes fabric look better. I hope that is what happens in your case! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your progress! If you'd like, I would love to see it when it is finished. My email is sewthedistance@gmail.com. ❤️
You are so welcome! 🥰 Welcome to quilting. It can be super expensive. I am happy this video can help. Please reach out if you have any questions. Happy to help! ❤️
Love how your quilt turned out. I so pretty. Liking all the warm "fall" colors. Makes a body feel cozy during cool/cold weather. Thanks for sharing. Take care and blessings to y'all.
Challenge accepted! The finished top is 75" x 75" and is made entirely from my stash scraps. It's the most beautiful quilt I've ever made! It's all warm Fall/Autumn colors with a cream background. This is also the first quilt I will be keeping for myself. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial video!
I used my stash to make 2 large quilts and about 7 baby quilts during lockdown. I had some charm squares and left over yardage to make them. I wasn’t happy with some of the outcomes, but they were finished and donated. It didn’t make much of a difference in the amount of stash I still had, and on top of that, I started buying more fabric! 8 was kind of depressed. Now I am trying not to buy anymore fabric and use my stash and you have given me another beautiful quilt to make. Many thanks for all you do. Your tutorial was informative and very clear as well as a beautiful product.
You are so welcome! I am happy it helped you in making more projects from scraps. We certainly were busy during the lockdown! Wow! That's amazing! Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Sherry W. You might consider trying to make a table runner using this pattern, they are less scary. You might get the quilting "BUG" though. Enjoy yourself 😊.
Kris I am loving your tutorials. found you randomly opening Jenny's countdown box opening. Can't wait to run your past videos. you're adorable and I love how upbeat you are about quilting. Helps get me motivated to get in the studio and get my sewjo on. I'm loving this scrappy quilt - thanks for all the tips- I've never made a test block - and now it just seem so logical. Separating the blocks on trays also makes sense. and makes the tray from last years Jenny box useful. Kudos for teaching this old girl new tricks. Happy Holidays, Teri G.
Wow! Thank you so much, Teri! What wonderful compliments! ❤️❤️❤️ So happy you found me, too! ❤️ I love that this has motivated you! I kind of came into my style about a year or so ago, so please don't be disappointed too much with my earlier videos! Back then I felt like I had to be very serious. It is freeing, to say the least, that I am now myself on camera. ❤️ Thank you so your support. 😍 I really appreciate it!
@@SewtheDistance Ah, l should have guessed!! Teacher-prep = respect for the student's needs AND learning style. BTW...that is also a Biblical approach. 💞
I love this series! We all need to sew down our stash. And it’s lovely to make a quilt without heading to the quilt store. Thank you for your fun and interesting channel! p.s. this pattern would also be fun with a contrasting solid for the background, a peach or gold, or even something dark and vivid. Imagine a marine blue background, either solid color, or scrappy, with soft peaches, pinks and aqua for the prints. Great pattern thanks for sharing. Great series!!
Ohhhhhh--I love your ideas! YES! That would be amazing! Or even a dark grey background. Now my creative juices are flowing! 😂 Thank you so much! So happy you are enjoying this series! More to come!
@@mariedoll6081 I will! I have some lovely vintage fabrics I’ve been saving in pinks, and light blues, greens and aqua. I don’t have a huge stash of them, so a pattern that is heavy on background is perfect. I’m thinking this is the quilt I want to make with them, with a darker solid background.
What a great idea to use a magnetic on the metal tray for notes. I love my vintage trays to keep me organized. This idea will put me up another level. Thanks for the motivation!
Great idea for using scraps. I think I will sew my scraps end to end to create my "jelly roll" strips and see what the out come will look like after cutting the subsets. It will definitely have a scrappy look. Thanks for a great tutorial.
Hi Kris! Outstanding video! I loved how you showed us how you tested out your stash fabrics plus the bonus runners you made. It was nice to see you quilting again. Stay safe and take care! ~~ Lynne
Great video. Thank you for using a truly free pattern. It met not only the requirement of the challenge, but the spirit too. Your change to the center section of the block is a positive game changer to the look. Your explanation of how you constructed it was quite helpful.
I love the Owl quilt and blue and green star quilt that are on your wall. The quilt you made in this episode is so pretty. I love that you used your extra blocks for table runners.
Thank you! The owl quilt was made using the Accuquilt. I really need to do a video on that one because many people love it. It also has a very special backstory. The blue and green quilt was made the exact same way I made my table topper. I have a video tutorial on it. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/u9dMcfF9Pfc/w-d-xo.html . Both fun projects! Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I am happy you enjoyed this! I just love the final quilt. I just finished washing and drying it and will have a short video up on the results later today. ❤️
I had a tub of left over strip from other projects all different widths. I got a couple of friends and we started putting together strip sets. I'm making scrappy pinwheel blocks. Mainly because no more strip would fit in the tub and I didn't want to go buy a bigger one.
Love how this turned out. When I make the backing out of two pieces of the same size fabric and don't want one seam down the middle, I cut one of the fabrics lengthwise down it's middle (basically on the fold). When I sew them together I sew 20" of fabric A to 40" of fabric B. Then I sew the empty side of fabric B to 20" of fabric A. Looks nice and I don't have to worry about a seam going down the middle.
I would have liked to see your back on this since you spoke of not doing a center seam and you showed using two different fabrics…GR8 demonstration/teaching! I said I would never do anything this big, but I’m thinking about it.. thank you! 💜☮️
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and for your kind words! I do have a short video on this. It doesn't so all of it, but it does show some. I should have showed the backing. Sorry about that. Here's the short video: th-cam.com/users/shortsU9MFX_c33cE?si=Gl7Mee3Uey4gKOQX Hope this helps some, at least. ❤️
Just thought I'd let you know I'm going to make this quilt after watching your video BUT have to come clean and admit to buying some fabric! Thanks for brilliant clear instructions and easy to get at free quilt pattern. X
Another great use of scrap. I started quilting a few years ago and I have gravitated towards scrappy quilts and as we all know quilters have a lot of scraps!! Thanks for another great tutorial.
Thank you! I missed posting! This one took me a bit. I’m back now and starting on my next tutorial today. I also have a Lessons from an Old Quilt video coming soon! ❤️
Great quilt make! Very nice pattern. I think I prefer the darker Block B center more than the lighter version. Can't wait to give this quilt a try! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Kris, great tutorial! I like your variation also. I need to make one now as I have many of those types of fabrics. Almost 30 years quilting. The center 6.5 inch block would be great for use of my toile - a favorite of mine.
Thank you! I know what you mean. I have been quilting for almost 29 years now. I have a lot of fabric! EEK! Oh, toile would be beautiful! What a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! I have a short video on some tips that I will link here. As for as the actually piecing, used 2.5" yards for the two fabrics and seamed them together on the long side using a large seam allowance. I then press the seams open and hand-basted them down. Here's the video:th-cam.com/users/shortsU9MFX_c33cE?feature=share
love the colors! I have quilted for a long time but choosing colors has always been a struggle for me The design is beautiful. thanks for sharing so much and why you choose the blocks that you did.
@@SewtheDistance Thanks for highlighting this video in your recent newsletter, and for showing a picture of Linda's quilt! I have some fabric that I want to highlight in bigger squares and this free pattern will be perfect for it. I thought that when you first released this video but I didn't get started on it because of other projects. Now I'm going to print the pattern and kit it up so I can get it done! Thanks also for sharing your MSQ affiliate link! I'm so glad you're highlighting a project each month, and I really appreciate the monthly discount!
I love Fall colors and fabrics so I love your quilt❣️ I recently made a similar quilt called Scrappy Irish Chain that has a similar look but has individual 2 1/2 inch squares in block one and larger background fabrics in block 2 with 3 scrappy 2 1/2 " squares in the corners. That allows me to custom quilt a big area in that block. Your strip sewing technique would make up much quicker. I plan to combine the two patterns. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh, I love that! There are so many ways to make this beauty! Love that you are combining different techniques and patterns! Such a wonderful idea, especially leaving space for custom quilting. ❤️
Thank you!! Oh, that would be a great gift! I got married in the fall and would have loved something like this! You could even make a signature quilt and have people sign in the blank blocks! Love this!

You are so welcome! 🥰
Welcome to quilting. It can be super expensive. I am happy this video can help. Please reach out if you have any questions. Happy to help! ❤️
Wow.. 😊 i love it. That is so n8ce.. now if i only can find fabric close to yours would be great. I have liked others i have watched on your video.. 😊
Thank you! 😊 I hope you find some. Maybe even ask some quilty friends to swap fabric? Just an idea. ❤️
I would love to see more of these no spend quilts!!! So inspirational.
More to come in 2024! So glad you like it!
I really like your channel. I love your happy personality. I can't wait to try this pattern. You explain things that are easy to follow. Sandy, Idaho

You can use picnic tablecloth for a design wall. The back is perfect. I just tack it up with tack.
Nice cheap design wall 😊
Thanks for the tip! 🥰
That came out beautiful!! I’m definitely going to use this to go through some scraps!
YAY! I love that this inspired you to make it! It is a fun one!
Changing block B made a great difference! Thanks for a great tutorial. I have scraps I can use for this quilt.

So true! Lol! I have a ton! 😬 It is fun using them!
I think you won the scrappy challenge! A beautiful pattern combined with your assortment of scrap fabrics. Wonderful!

Thanks so much! I do love the dark in the table runners I made, so maybe that's my next one with this pattern. So many quilts, so little time! 😍
🤩🙏 this was great - thx! Your quilt turned out beautifully.
Thank you! 😊 So glad you enjoyed it!
Oh that's beautiful ❤ I'm doing the same thing I already finish the top❤
Yay! Love that you are making one! ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love your modifications to the original pattern. Fantastic job. 🤗👏🤗👏
Thank you so much!! I just love how it turned out, too! 🥰
Kris, great tutorial! I like your variation also. I need to make one now as I have many of those types of fabrics. Almost 30 years quilting. The center 6.5 inch block would be great for use of my toile - a favorite of mine.
Thank you! I know what you mean. I have been quilting for almost 29 years now. I have a lot of fabric! EEK! Oh, toile would be beautiful! What a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family have a blessed weekend.
Thank you so much! Blessings to you, too! 🥰
Good job girl...looks fantastic ..

How beautiful, Kris. You did great! Such a great teacher, and thinking outside the box to make it your own. So inspirational. ❤️🇦🇺
Wow, thank you so much! What a wonderful compliment! I am so happy you enjoyed this video. Thank you for your kind words and for watching. 🥰
Great quilt, Kris. I'm a pinning convert myself. I would like to see how you pieced the back. I don't have a good eye for that.
You are so welcome! I have a short video on some tips that I will link here. As for as the actually piecing, used 2.5" yards for the two fabrics and seamed them together on the long side using a large seam allowance. I then press the seams open and hand-basted them down. Here's the video:th-cam.com/users/shortsU9MFX_c33cE?feature=share

@@SewtheDistance Thanks for highlighting this video in your recent newsletter, and for showing a picture of Linda's quilt! I have some fabric that I want to highlight in bigger squares and this free pattern will be perfect for it. I thought that when you first released this video but I didn't get started on it because of other projects. Now I'm going to print the pattern and kit it up so I can get it done! Thanks also for sharing your MSQ affiliate link! I'm so glad you're highlighting a project each month, and I really appreciate the monthly discount!
Wow! That is so beautiful. I can’t wait to start digging in my fall scraps.
Thank you! This is so much fun to make! ❤️
Such a lovely quilt, your scraps are amazing!
Thank you! 🥰
I love Fall colors and fabrics so I love your quilt❣️ I recently made a similar quilt called Scrappy Irish Chain that has a similar look but has individual 2 1/2 inch squares in block one and larger background fabrics in block 2 with 3 scrappy 2 1/2 " squares in the corners. That allows me to custom quilt a big area in that block. Your strip sewing technique would make up much quicker. I plan to combine the two patterns. Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh, I love that! There are so many ways to make this beauty! Love that you are combining different techniques and patterns! Such a wonderful idea, especially leaving space for custom quilting. ❤️
Awesome project! I appreciate your tips. I need to build a stash of background fabrics so I can do projects like these.
Thank you so much! Glad this video is helpful. ❤️ You could use all the same fabric. That would be pretty, too!
I was just looking at the templates last night- I guess it was a sign for me to buy them when your video came up.🤔👍
It was meant to be! I'm so glad you decided to get the templates!
BEAUTIFUL! 😍😍😍 I love it. 💗 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦋
Thank you! 😊 You are so welcome! Thank you for watching! 🥰🥰🥰
So beautiful ❤
Thank you! ❤️
I love your trays idea! I am going to try that! I am in the middle of a Bargello so I can sure use it!
Trays will be perfect! So happy to help! ❤️
This is phenomenal!!! Thank you I was looking for Fall inspired for a wedding gift!!
Thank you!! Oh, that would be a great gift! I got married in the fall and would have loved something like this! You could even make a signature quilt and have people sign in the blank blocks! Love this!
Very good video, with clear instructions. Thank you!
What beautiful blocks. I love scrappy quilts and the fall colors are very rich.
Thank you! 🥰 Me, too!
