What a breath of fresh air! Someone who doesn’t bother about “ perfection, I loved this video, and got ideas for my own scrappy quilt. Also loved the comments about the “quilt police” thinking they can tell others how they should make THEIR quilts.
I just recently found your channel. You crack me the F up! I quilt just like you do - including those tiny a$$ scraps because I make junk journals too and I will use them ❤ Keep on keeping it “REAL” 🙌🤸
Absolutely loved this. Thank you for sticking up for all of us who have made blankets/quilts, whatever for our dogs instead of homeless people. I am kinda binge watching. I do love watching your creative process. Thank you for giving up all great ideas and letting our imagination flow
That quilt top is colorful, beautiful and whimsical. Every place the eye falls, there is something so pretty and unique to look at. A different scrappy piece everywhere. My gosh, this is true art, not some repetitive age-old block. So much work went into this quilt top. Who cares about crossed seams on the back which no one will see once it is finished with batting and binding. If you wanted to make it a little larger, you could put on an inner and outer border. It’s perfect just as is!!
Thank you, Darlene, for making this beautiful quilt top. I love your spontaneous approach and that you make decisions as you go. At first, I thought that placing the 3-inch-wide blocks in the same orientation would be better, but I agree with your choice. Your videos are adventures of the imagination.
Darlene, you have probably helped more people by doing what you do, in the way that you do it, than all of those perfectionist quilters combined!! I love your videos, because I quilt the "lazy, tacky way" too, and always have. But until I found you, I felt inadequate, and somewhat of a failure, because I couldn't get perfect seam allowances! You saved me! I can't thank you enough for just being you! Oh and I love this quilt top! I've been looking for a way to use up all those strips of solids I have leftover, now I know what to do! you are a genius!!
Darlene the Rouge & Unruly Quilter!! I truly appreciate watching and feeling like we are part of the creative process right along with you. Keep breaking the rules, it’s much more fun!!
Darlene, thank you for your vid on the "on the spot" planning process on such a Beautiful quilt! You've given me the inspiration to use up all my orphan scrappy squares and make comfort quilts that will be used and loved. I look forward to your honest and funny YT vids every time!
Hi Darlene I just wanted to add a comment about you video on the scrappy quilt. I totally agree with you. I doesn’t really matter what a quilt is for. I don’t care what people do with it. It’s a free world do what you want. For the record I thought your quilt was beautiful. I like to just throw pieces together randomly and that’s my prerogative. Keep doing what you’re doing it’s fabulous and you can quote me on that. Let the haters show you what they’ve done and how perfect their projects are. Well done. 🌟 you’re a star. Cath
The best part of your videos is when you do not do too much planning. You think on your feet.That is the fun part. Love watching you do that. I find myself doing that too. Sometimes, I will make an item with scrap fabric. Just so I know if I have to make an item bigger or smaller or what needs to be altered. Then, it goes into my scrap bag. The scraps become smaller projects, scrap quilts, tabs for drawstring pulls or possibly small zippered coin purses. I have also used the scraps when I make fish purses. They are used for the scales.
I am very new to the quilting world and have been very overwhelmed with starting and finishing a beautiful quilt. I have watched tons of videos that have made me feel (which is not them ) it is me. I came across your channel by accident and you gave me so much stress relief. I am not a snob about much of anything nor am I a judge, there are too many of them in this world. I have enjoyed your quilt process and love the way you put people at ease in your video. I was raised on quilts exactly like you made, from people that made a quilt for warmth and out of material that someone outgrown or clothes that have been passed down more times than it had thread in some places. I am still a bit weirded out by the thought of taking perfectly good fabric sewing it together to then cut it up to sew it together again. I have a quilt from my mother in law that was made from literally scraps of clothes. Is it beautiful yes, is it a work of art yes! She machine sewed it on a trundle singer that I have now. In your 4 videos you taught me a world of knowledge and I thank you. I will make a quilt someday like you did and I hope to also accomplish a planned quilt with perfect new fabric and I will be proud and love them both. Thank you! ps i love that you don't let comments bother you, I could never put myself out there like you do for the fear of the comments. You are a strong and special lady!! and your moms tv did not bother me at all my aunt lives with me and she has dementia and she plays her tv loud sometime but I cherish her and our time together. She is my biggest fan.
You are awesome sauce! I'm a beginner, and got so caught up in trying to make things absolutely perfect that it took forever, and I didn't enjoy it as much. I wish I had found you first. I had such a mental block on learning the binding that I almost didn't complete it, but I did. Thank you for making it easier and forgiving for newbies. 😘
I'm sorry I just had to do another comment. I felt the need to thank you for telling us that... It just dsnt matter,do your quilt the way you want to do it. I was always wondering on so many dfrnt things and you helped me tremendously. Thanks,Marlene
Love the quilt... Anyone who has worked in the textile industry knows there are shortcuts and not everything is cut to perfection... Sewing can be disiplined but it should also be fun, and you have shown us just how much fun sewing fabric together can be. Keep doing what the creative artist within wants to do... That is what makes you unique and special.
Don’t really care if others are put off by your language, I enjoy you. Up front on who gives a shit. Keep doing what you do and thank you .for being yourself
That is a wonderful improve quilt! You should sign your creations for the future for history. Thank you for the great videos. I agree with you and the "perfect" stuff!
Sometimes, I can't imagine how it's going to turn out, but almost everything you do, I usually like. Keep encouraging us to be creative in our own way!
I Love this video and the fact that you say it does not have to be perfect because it causes some of us to not want to make stuff I have been watching your videos a lot and I Love the fact that you can be your self and keepit real keep do you much Love from Cali.
I love you show use your way. It's made me want to sew My cousin does it perfect. I always thought I would have to do it perfect. Thanks for sharing! You cracked me up.
Happy New Year to you! You are an example of courage and I love it! The quilt is beautiful! The method is fantastic! You can not imagine all the things that we are learning seeing your videos, thousand of ideas to make! Thank you for being yourself, you are a wonderful person! You do not lie, you do not pretend, you are funny real and great! Thank you for sharing all your ideas and decision making.
You are hilarious you really crack me up I love your TH-cam videos keep them coming I'm learning so much and I love this Scrappy quilts and I will be making one thank you
Okay. I know you’re not going to read this. But this is MY therapy. A different quilting “how to” popped up and i started watching. Not to put this other video down, but WTF! She was dressed to the nines, polished nails, the whole nine yards. Her table was the size of a football field! Who has that? Who gets dressed up to craft? Who has a room dedicated to ONE craft? I couldn’t get back to you fast enough! YOU and your crafts make me feel like I could actually do this shit! Your surroundings are real, like you. Keep it up, love watching
Yes, there are lots of perfect channels out there with pretty nails and perfect craft spaces. That’s so not me! Those channels are here to teach. I’m here to entertain and to also have fun. I used to think I had to do it their way. But I said no way! Doing it my way from now on, potty mouth and all! Lol
As for reading comments... I read every single one of them. Every. Single. One. They all go through review and I decide which ones go public. Comment control is like a full time job! Lol
I think it is a Lovely quilt. And SEW easy! I have a large bag of fabrics I just finished ironing, cutting and sorting out. strips, blocks, scraps they are all going in the quilt I am about to build. Thanks for all of the Handy Tips!!
THANK YOU! I have collected quilting fabric, quilting books, and Santa Clause gave me a new sewing machine but I still have not started making a quilt. I even bought a charm pack to help me get going but am too afraid of messing up the nice fabric. THANK YOU! Fuck perfection, just do it and have fun. THANK YOU SO MUCH. This is just what I needed.
I love scrappy. I'm doing crumb blocks and strip quilt blocks. So much freedom!!! There are quilts for show and quilts for comfort and use. I prefer the comfort and use!! Thank you for you rule breaking.
I love it. So colorful. For those of us who are not perfectionist..... I love that you take the pressure off. if I had to be perfect the fun who go right out the window.
Love you, Darlene. :-) You taught me I didn't have to be perfect, and when I miss a point or intersection, I just drive on, and know that nobody's gonna see it, anyway, unless I point it out. It was hard the first few times (I do tend to be a perfectionist), but I got over that real fast. And you gave me confidence to just toss things together. Your crumb quilt series got me all inspired to dig into my scraps, and some very interesting things have come from that. lol! Keep being you. Haters are gonna hate - how sad for them. Do you - you're good at it.
I love Your work. Thanks for your Beautiful way of teaching. I like how you explain your mistakes. N you show us the back of your Beautiful quilt top. When others don't even admit they made a mistake n they will never show the back of the quilt.
Totally agree with you on quilting. I have learned a lot from quilt shows showing proper ways of whatever, but in the end, if you're not enjoying the making-whats the point? Sometimes a dog will appreciate your efforts more than a person will!
Darlene, I love your plain talking. You're right there are always people who make it their life's purpose to find fault with other people's work. Anyway, that's their problem not ours. Maybe you could add a couple wide borders around the outside edge to give you a bigger quilt.
Hi Darlene~It's been awhile since I've commented, but I just have to on this. Your quilt top is AMAZING! I as a quilter can appreciate all the hard work you put into it, and it turned out MARVELOUS!! Also, I love your quilting comments and your attitude. Love the cussing here and there, it cracks me up! Like the saying goes... I quilt, so therefore I SWEAR!! Happy New Year to you and your family! Love from Indiana!
Love your quilting series and the randomness of your quilts if randomness is even a word lol you give me the ideas of using scraps my mind can't make up
Darlene - I am amazed at how great this quilt top turned out. When you first started I thought it would look a mish-mash with all those different 100 fabrics, but in the end it turned out into a beautiful coloured top and those thin strips pulled it all together, so well done . I started making my first crumb blocks this past weekend - you gave me the inspiration after I watched your crumb block series, so thanks for that. I'm looking forward to your next crazy sewing series - happy new year from England :)
It's beautiful.... especially the back! Lol. I applaud you. Sometimes the backs of my tops look weird even though I try hard to iron things right. Here's how I see it....after batting, backing, quilting and binding, ain't no one gonna know. I just pray I don't break a needle when I quilt the damn thing.
I love your video and attitude! I found your video by chance but it must have been fate as I spent about 6 hours today sitting at my machine just sewing pieces together not really overthinking them just stitching and I think it's going to be my favorite quilt top so far. Thank you and keep the videos coming!!!
I think running the thin strip stripes all at the bottom on first row, then all at the top on last row would create a nice “frame”....alternating them in the middle rows as you have done! Just a thought.... AND, I FEED my dog, when there are still starving people! So why couldn’t a pet have a quilt? You crack me up...LOVE the attitude, energy, and creative process...not plan, you share! This was my first of your videos, will NOT be my last! You GO, Girl!
Darlene, how did I find you? Not sure but what a refreshing(!) Godsend. Your Mama sure did something right raising you. I love your energy, your inspiring approach and creativity. That quilt top is just so happy and bright with those pops of red and stripes!! I am subscribed and ready for more. I smiled from beginning to end - lol!! Love it!
It looks bloody fab, exactly how scrappy should be...bit wonky, bit thrown together, I can definitely see lots of your personality in there. Happy New Year, can't wait for the "rule" breaking lol x
It looks great. I have watched some perfect quilters lately while learning about quilting, and l had to chuckle when l saw a square arranged wrong on the table. But it was fixed when she sewed it. After that l found myself getting nervous if something looked wrong. I had to laugh. My mother was so perfect she stitched the quilting by hand and would take it out if it went off. My aunt slapped together uneven squares, not matching colors, using awful fabric combinations. I loved both of their quilts.
Another wonderful piece of textile art by Darlene. BTW I love the title quilting the lazy tacky way. This one reminds me a little bit of the ribbon candy your Mom loves 🍭
Thank you to let me beeing part of the process how you create a Quilt and not coming up with a final plan. I like your pros and con and that you show that you are also doing mistake but it is o.k. Thank you!
I totally agree with you about people shouldn't be telling other people how their seams should be perfect and what they should do with their quilts . Actually I have one quilt laying on my sewing room floor for my dogs to lay on lol
Just found you. Thank you for being so real. Loved it!! Love the quilt top!! I don’t understand why people seem to think they need to correct everyone else either. Some have just gone batty is my guess. Have a wonderful New Year!!
YOU MAKE QUILTS LIKE I LIKE TO MAKE QUILTS...I DON'T WANT PERFECTION...I LOVE PATCHWORK! YES THE SHOW PIECES ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT I WANT TO MAKE FUNCTIONAL FUN QUILTS THAT WHEN I AM GONE FROM THIS WORLD MY KIDS OR GRANDKIDS HAVE A PIECE THAT I MADE AND KNOW THIS WAS HOW GMA REALLY WAS! FUN AND WACKY AND CRAZY AND OFF THE WALL, IN A GOOD WAY! LOL!!!
I have this sudden urge to make my dog a quilt hahaha. If it isn't fun you should pick a different hobby. I didn't say perfect....I said fun. And I am with you all the way. Thanks for helping me quilt. I love your channel.
I love the back of the quilt. Very full of character and panache. Perfection has its place, but its not in other people's face. On another note, watching Darlene has made it difficult to watch other quilt channels. They seem either too slick or too dull.

What a breath of fresh air! Someone who doesn’t bother about “ perfection, I loved this video, and got ideas for my own scrappy quilt. Also loved the comments about the “quilt police” thinking they can tell others how they should make THEIR quilts.
I just recently found your channel. You crack me the F up! I quilt just like you do - including those tiny a$$ scraps because I make junk journals too and I will use them ❤ Keep on keeping it “REAL” 🙌🤸
Darlene this quilt top is beautiful! And I’m with you, break the rules. So what if the seams fold over! You are right, do it your way!❤❤😂
a little pressing would really make it suitable to quilt It's eye catching.
Absolutely loved this. Thank you for sticking up for all of us who have made blankets/quilts, whatever for our dogs instead of homeless people. I am kinda binge watching. I do love watching your creative process. Thank you for giving up all great ideas and letting our imagination flow
That quilt top is colorful, beautiful and whimsical. Every place the eye falls, there is something so pretty and unique to look at. A different scrappy piece everywhere. My gosh, this is true art, not some repetitive age-old block. So much work went into this quilt top. Who cares about crossed seams on the back which no one will see once it is finished with batting and binding. If you wanted to make it a little larger, you could put on an inner and outer border. It’s perfect just as is!!
Love all Darlene's videos. I've never quilted before and she's inspired me in giving me the permission to be wacky and free.
I just want you to know I love you! You have been a teacher and an encourager to me, keep it up, I don't care what anyone says, you are the best!!!
Thank you, Darlene, for making this beautiful quilt top. I love your spontaneous approach and that you make decisions as you go. At first, I thought that placing the 3-inch-wide blocks in the same orientation would be better, but I agree with your choice. Your videos are adventures of the imagination.
WOWSERS!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! ART!!!!
Darlene, I think your quilt top is Beautiful! It's amazing how all the colors thrown together work.
Darlene, you have probably helped more people by doing what you do, in the way that you do it, than all of those perfectionist quilters combined!! I love your videos, because I quilt the "lazy, tacky way" too, and always have. But until I found you, I felt inadequate, and somewhat of a failure, because I couldn't get perfect seam allowances! You saved me! I can't thank you enough for just being you! Oh and I love this quilt top! I've been looking for a way to use up all those strips of solids I have leftover, now I know what to do! you are a genius!!
I feel the same way Jane. Monica from Australia
Darlene, your quilt is fantastic and if you think your back is a hot mess,you should see my crumb quilts!I'm totally in love with your videos!
Darlene the Rouge & Unruly Quilter!! I truly appreciate watching and feeling like we are part of the creative process right along with you. Keep breaking the rules, it’s much more fun!!

It’s your best one yet girl, such a happy quilt and you did it so quickly, what a pleasure to look at, just love it ❤️
From all the sewing I have done I have never made a quilt but there something about you that I wanna make one. I love your assessments
You're a brilliant quilt improviser. I think it turned out fabulous. And the way you did was so much fun. Awesome job!

Really love how you make you quilt tops with scraps
Okay. I know you’re not going to read this. But this is MY therapy.
A different quilting “how to” popped up and i started watching. Not to put this other video down, but WTF! She was dressed to the nines, polished nails, the whole nine yards. Her table was the size of a football field!
Who has that? Who gets dressed up to craft? Who has a room dedicated to ONE craft? I couldn’t get back to you fast enough! YOU and your crafts make me feel like I could actually do this shit! Your surroundings are real, like you. Keep it up, love watching
Yes, there are lots of perfect channels out there with pretty nails and perfect craft spaces. That’s so not me! Those channels are here to teach. I’m here to entertain and to also have fun. I used to think I had to do it their way. But I said no way! Doing it my way from now on, potty mouth and all! Lol
As for reading comments... I read every single one of them. Every. Single. One. They all go through review and I decide which ones go public. Comment control is like a full time job! Lol

Hi Darlene~It's been awhile since I've commented, but I just have to on this. Your quilt top is AMAZING! I as a quilter can appreciate all the hard work you put into it, and it turned out MARVELOUS!! Also, I love your quilting comments and your attitude. Love the cussing here and there, it cracks me up! Like the saying goes... I quilt, so therefore I SWEAR!! Happy New Year to you and your family!

You are delightful. I was sent your video from a friend, and thoroughly enjoyed your spirit!
Love this quilt
Love your quilting series and the randomness of your quilts if randomness is even a word lol you give me the ideas of using scraps my mind can't make up

I think this is a #1, Darlene; I love it, very pretty!
That is good! It looks like a big apartment house with everybody having different curtains and balcony flowers.
I always have flipped seams no matter how hard I try not to. But hey, after the quilt top is sandwiched who sees it?!?! Love this quilt top. Good job.
I enjoyed this series. Fun! Good job. Thanks Darlene.
Came together great. Love it
It's beautiful.... especially the back! Lol. I applaud you. Sometimes the backs of my tops look weird even though I try hard to iron things right. Here's how I see it....after batting, backing, quilting and binding, ain't no one gonna know. I just pray I don't break a needle when I quilt the damn thing.
I love your video and attitude! I found your video by chance but it must have been fate as I spent about 6 hours today sitting at my machine just sewing pieces together not really overthinking them just stitching and I think it's going to be my favorite quilt top so far. Thank you and keep the videos coming!!!
Like the quilt top and love your attitude! Thanks for the video.
I think running the thin strip stripes all at the bottom on first row, then all at the top on last row would create a nice “frame”....alternating them in the middle rows as you have done! Just a thought.... AND, I FEED my dog, when there are still starving people! So why couldn’t a pet have a quilt? You crack me up...LOVE the attitude, energy, and creative process...not plan, you share! This was my first of your videos, will NOT be my last! You GO, Girl!
I have so much fun with your pretty words. I have no complaints all of you is so beautiful
Darlene, how did I find you? Not sure but what a refreshing(!) Godsend. Your Mama sure did something right raising you. I love your energy, your inspiring approach and creativity. That quilt top is just so happy and bright with those pops of red and stripes!! I am subscribed and ready for more. I smiled from beginning to end - lol!! Love it!
OMG why didn't I think of that?!?!? I'm making ALL my dogs quilts!!! :-D
I'm loving it!!!
It looks bloody fab, exactly how scrappy should be...bit wonky, bit thrown together, I can definitely see lots of your personality in there. Happy New Year, can't wait for the "rule" breaking lol x
I like the quilt a lot!!! Good job! 👍🏻
Love your determination to just have fun. Erma Bombec unite
It looks great. I have watched some perfect quilters lately while learning about quilting, and l had to chuckle when l saw a square arranged wrong on the table. But it was fixed when she sewed it. After that l found myself getting nervous if something looked wrong. I had to laugh. My mother was so perfect she stitched the quilting by hand and would take it out if it went off. My aunt slapped together uneven squares, not matching colors, using awful fabric combinations. I loved both of their quilts.
Beautiful...Beautiful...just like you!
Another wonderful piece of textile art by Darlene. BTW I love the title quilting the lazy tacky way. This one reminds me a little bit of the ribbon candy your Mom loves 🍭
Love your quilt and your slide shows.
I just realized how refreshing this was compared to those Damm ones they put on here that don't sleep english!
I like it. I will try a scrap quilt since I sew wonky. I will practice at my straight lines,but I seen your quilt and I want ti make one.
You go girl!!!!!
Thank you to let me beeing part of the process how you create a Quilt and not coming up with a final plan. I like your pros and con and that you show that you are also doing mistake but it is o.k.
Thank you!
I totally agree with you about people shouldn't be telling other people how their seams should be perfect and what they should do with their quilts . Actually I have one quilt laying on my sewing room floor for my dogs to lay on lol
I love your thought process and creations.
Darlene the quilt top is great. I love that F**king word from you. A quilt is to be dragged around and loved.
Wow! You are great in presentation
Love how it turned out ,bring on the next project rule breaker , LOL
you have a good eye for color!
New sub here. Damn....I love your personality.💖💖💖 and your quilts.💖💖💖
Just found you. Thank you for being so real. Loved it!! Love the quilt top!! I don’t understand why people seem to think they need to correct everyone else either. Some have just gone batty is my guess. Have a wonderful New Year!!
YOU MAKE QUILTS LIKE I LIKE TO MAKE QUILTS...I DON'T WANT PERFECTION...I LOVE PATCHWORK! YES THE SHOW PIECES ARE BEAUTIFUL BUT I WANT TO MAKE FUNCTIONAL FUN QUILTS THAT WHEN I AM GONE FROM THIS WORLD MY KIDS OR GRANDKIDS HAVE A PIECE THAT I MADE AND KNOW THIS WAS HOW GMA REALLY WAS! FUN AND WACKY AND CRAZY AND OFF THE WALL, IN A GOOD WAY! LOL!!!
This is sooo cool!
Another good series. Thanks. If you think the back of this quilt top has a lot of seams, you should take a look at the back of my crumb blocks!
Darlene, Happy New Year 2019. you are a gem
I have this sudden urge to make my dog a quilt hahaha. If it isn't fun you should pick a different hobby. I didn't say perfect....I said fun. And I am with you all the way. Thanks for helping me quilt. I love your channel.
I love the back of the quilt. Very full of character and panache. Perfection has its place, but its not in other people's face. On another note, watching Darlene has made it difficult to watch other quilt channels. They seem either too slick or too dull.
Love it!
Love it!
Love it!
Well said..Love it..
Thank you for doing you!
Love it Thanks for sharing
Beautiful
I love it.
Very nice, I liked it 💯percent.
