I must say that many people avoid using up scraps, but I actually kind of love it. I came home with a whole tub of scraps and yardage of someone else's stash and projects. My husband dumped the entire lot into the wash, and I later saw it as a mess of tangled scraps and strings. He did come and help me untangle the mess and hang it all up on our 3 clothes lines. All dried now, Sorting and ironing and trimming to come soon. The pieces that feel to be poly blends are going to be used for the foundation pieces, but some of them are just too nice to hide away. We have lost so many people in the last few years with Covid and the resulting isolating, but I have been so lucky to rescue some of the stashes like this one and turn them into quilts. Among the scraps, were probably over 20 yards of rolled and folded yardage. Everyone should ask and look for these lots. So sad to dump all these collections into landfills.
Thank you for your energy and expertise! You have inspired me to get back into quilting after a really rough couple of years. You came along at just the right time. Keep Davitizing quilts, love your work!
Good to see another young man using some talent and imagination and little effort and stick to'ivness and create something so useful and perhaps recycled or used instead of filling the landfills. Love the sashing of half blue and half black,..good way to use up some stash. Enjoyed your LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE....you were having fun,....and believe me you had me at "oh no, I sewed two together".......I must say in all of my dozens of years quilting, I admit I have done that on more than one occasion, LOL....Keep up the good work...this was my FIRST VIEW of your studio. Congrats...from an ole Gramps Guy in Fl. Ken Lakeland, Florida
ok so I have an idea for you!! Thrift stores are a great place to get fabric! Not only is it less expensive but the planet is happier. AND sheets and shower curtains (yes, there are gorgeous 100% cotton shower curtains with wonderful designs/colors) that are made of really good quality cotton. Over the years I have bought a lot of fabric (mostly clearance bin at joann) but most of my work is from second hand fabric. It is great! BTW, I love most the GEE's BEND quilters so I am not a fussy 'make the points match' kind of quilter...! Really enjoy watching your process. - usa
I would like to say just how much I appreciate that you show the finished product for a longer period of time and in great detail. Thank you so much for all that you do.
You had me at, "Oh, I sewed two together!" It definitely sounds like something that would happen in my seeing studio! I can't wait to make my scrappy quilt after watching the process you utilize! It was fun to watch your process, listen to you speak, and watch the process come together. Thank you for the inspiration! I can't wait to get started! Happy sewing everyone! 💚
I really like how you used material that you don't like as your foundation material. That is such a good idea. I usually buy mounds of muslin and use it as my foundation material. I will have to try this.
The BEST MUSIC for a quilting video….continued growth and prosperity….I gotta check your music playlist, it’s always 🔥🔥🔥. No matter the genres of music, it accompanies your work well❤️
I LOVE THIS QUILT . I HAVE MADE RAG QUILTS OUT OF SCRAPS BUT I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO PUT SASHING BETWEEN THE SQUARES . I AM MESMERIZED ( < SPELLING ? ) BY MULTIPLE SCRAPS SEWN TOGETHER . THEY ARE MY FAVORITE !
So wonderful! Thanks for suggesting Sew the Distance. I love your viewpoint on having the same two fabrics next to each other- you’re absolutely right ! I never thought about it that way… I’m newly liberated
WOW, I also was drowning in scraps and so much material from old clothes, too! made some crazy quilt pillows and my first scrap "rail fence" quilt. STILL have piles of scraps. This one looks so fun. I always grab good quality sheets from the thrift stores to cut up for foundation pieces. AND I think I will also use them as backing for the quilt, too... SO cheap, and "eco" and all... putting things to use that otherwise will be throw away!~
I watch Sew the Distance all the time. Kris has such a friendly, "sparkly" attitude and she's from Pennsylvania also like us. Another great quilt from you today. Thanks for sharing.
There can't be enough ideas for scrappy Quilts, because we all know Mount Scrapmore... 😉. Easy, fast and interesting to look at. Thanks for sharing 🙋🏼♀️.
You are such fun to watch! Am I the only one who keeps replaying the few seconds starting about 1:10 where you show your ruler, then just toss it aside? So funny!
Love it! I make crazy and string blocks all the time. I'm making those as I watch your video. I'll keep at it until I use up all my smaller scraps. It'll take awhile as my quilt friends save their scraps for me too. They make super quilts for charity.
I’ve just discovered your channel and I love scrap quilt projects. I really enjoyed watching your video and I’ve subscribed so I can keep watching future projects.
Great scrap crazy quilk 😅 I believe the black and blue sashing and how you arranged them really adds to it. I just binge watched Kris "lessons from an old quilt" series a couple of weeks ago. So inspiring!
I do lots of srappy pathwork but usually don't like it to be too random. I agree with your favourite blocks and some of the others I didn't like UNTIL youj put that sashing on. Wow. Now ALL the blocks look great. I love the two colour sashing. Well done.
Hi Dave,I like your quilt,it's so scrappy and colorful. I like that you used two different fabrics in the sashing. Could you show a close-up shot of how you sewed the thread for tying it.
I'm a long-time subscriber to Sew the Distance and Lessons from and Old Quilt episodes are my favorite! You really captured the vibe of your inspiration. It looks great!
You are the best lol and i need to get at my scraps ho my but you are making me dizzy Lizzy lol from Newfoundland Canada freezing rain if i was feeling good i start one today., have fun there beautiful work
Dave!!!! You bless me so much and inspire me. Many of your feelings I totally relate too and was feeling alone in that space. But, YOU Dude help liberate me ❤. Thanks!!! Continue to be you. Sandi
Hey, Dave! Loved seeing all the fabrics used from your stash. It was like a flashback to all of your previous quilts. The Route 66 patch(?) was a nice addition. I follow Kris as well. Love her videos. I don’t often comment, and I sometimes forget to 👍🏻. Now I try to 👍🏻 my favourite channels as soon as I open the video. Thank you, and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
Again with the gorgeous music. It’s lovely. I turned it up but then you were yelling at me. Happy/sad. If you iron the scraps and stack them they are so much more compact. Zero guilt, you can add twice the scraps and you won’t notice. I really like your vids and quilts Dave.
I, too, love a scrappy quilt. Yours turned out great! I made a similar quilt two years ago when I was recovering from shoulder surgery and couldn't use my right arm. Mine is a lap quilt with black sashing and it is my go to quilt 😊
What a great way to use scraps! Gorgeous! You have such entertaining fabrics! I also like the black washing on half of the quilt! It looks like you planned it that way! Funny how that sometimes happens!
I love your quilt! The sashing turned out beautifully. I like it better than if it were all blue. You are so good at compensating. I've learned so much from watching your videos.
I binge watched all the Lessons from an Old Quilt. They are so good! Your channel is also a favorite. The way you put your videos together is amazing! I can’t believe how much you achieved in one day. Impressive!
Love 😍 your fantastic scraptastic quilt!! Love the different color sashing too. I am collecting scrappy squares as I go & now I can't wait to have more finished! Blessings
Just found your channel.... I'm trying to learn and really can't sit around and make MawMaw quilts. This is really cool and I can see how you could manipulate in so many ways and color stories. I'm off now to binge on your other videos. You are great at explaining and keeping it simple and also very talented.
I really like that you ran out of the blue!!! The black on diagonal really gives it more movement and interest. But--how can you end up with a much bigger pile of scraps at the end??? One of the great quilt mystery miracles!! Thank you Dave🍍🍎
Amei sua Colcha! Essas duas faixas de cores diferentes, fez toda diferença no trabalho, ele não ficou pesado com tantas cores ❤ perfeita!!! Parabéns. Te conheci hoje e vou te seguir 😊🎉

The blue and black look great. It looks artistic. It gives a modern art vibe. It's like Jerry Warhol-ish.
I like it. It could be in an art gallery.
Thank you for your energy and expertise! You have inspired me to get back into quilting after a really rough couple of years. You came along at just the right time. Keep Davitizing quilts, love your work!

I love your solution doing the stair steps for the sashing! Looks fantastic!!
YOU ARE THE SWEETEST! Thank you SO MUCH for the shout out. We need to do a collab! ❤❤❤
I would absolutely love to do a collab !!😜👨🏻
Crumb quilting is my favorite. I have tons of tiny little pieces. Really fun and beautiful
Your style is amazing. The photography is awesome. Sew on
I love the combo of blue sashing and black sashing! I never would have thought to do that on my own…thank you!👍🏻💖👵🏻
I really like how you used material that you don't like as your foundation material. That is such a good idea. I usually buy mounds of muslin and use it as my foundation material. I will have to try this.

"She never shrinks!"
.....same 😅
I really like Kris O’Neil’s Lessons from an Old Quilt series too! The blue and black washing’s are great. Very clever way to solve a fabric shortage.
I LOVE THIS QUILT . I HAVE MADE RAG QUILTS OUT OF SCRAPS BUT I HAVE NEVER TRIED TO PUT SASHING BETWEEN THE SQUARES . I AM MESMERIZED ( < SPELLING ? ) BY MULTIPLE SCRAPS SEWN TOGETHER . THEY ARE MY FAVORITE !

Thank you! We need to have a Pennsylvania meetup! 😀
OMG I can't believe we're all from PA !! Although I no longer live there I hope to go back soon to visit my family
There can't be enough ideas for scrappy Quilts, because we all know Mount Scrapmore... 😉. Easy, fast and interesting to look at. Thanks for sharing 🙋🏼♀️.
You started in the middle!! Oh my goodness, I never thought of that, I always start on the edge, GENIUS!! You're an instant hit with me!!
Absolutely love this quilt! It's perfect for anyone! So many funky little patterns. It's actually a real conversation starter.
I am hooked after this video. Love your stuff.
Stunning, the black sashing makes the blue sashing pop. A great colourful quilt. ❤
You are such fun to watch! Am I the only one who keeps replaying the few seconds starting about 1:10 where you show your ruler, then just toss it aside? So funny!
My second viewing. I am planning on making a scrappy quikt soon. I needed the motivation. Thank you.
I like your strange shapes idea. Breaking the rules is part of creating. Thank you.
Wow, you press each between each fabric addition. Excellent 👍. Very good choice to stairstep the blue and black sashings. Thanks for the video 🎉
Scrappy quilts blocks are my favorite. I love to make wonky Christmas runners. Love it.
Love it! I make crazy and string blocks all the time. I'm making those as I watch your video. I'll keep at it until I use up all my smaller scraps. It'll take awhile as my quilt friends save their scraps for me too. They make super quilts for charity.
I’ve just discovered your channel and I love scrap quilt projects. I really enjoyed watching your video and I’ve subscribed so I can keep watching future projects.
Loved the idea of all the squares are different shapes to begin with. Super use of scrapes.
Great scrap crazy quilk 😅 I believe the black and blue sashing and how you arranged them really adds to it.
I just binge watched Kris "lessons from an old quilt" series a couple of weeks ago. So inspiring!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Love the personality you put into this one! Scrap quilts are my favorite.
I've never seen someone tied quilt the way you do is very interesting and I like your style.
thank you I learned it from Donna Jordan :P
I do lots of srappy pathwork but usually don't like it to be too random. I agree with your favourite blocks and some of the others I didn't like UNTIL youj put that sashing on. Wow. Now ALL the blocks look great. I love the two colour sashing. Well done.
I'm impressed by how much work you get done in a day. I need to speed up! Love the scrappy quilt and the improvised sashing.
Also glad you tied it!
Hi Dave,I like your quilt,it's so scrappy and colorful. I like that you used two different fabrics in the sashing. Could you show a close-up shot of how you sewed the thread for tying it.
Reply neat that you used two different sash's And set them As you did enjoyed your site. Thanks for sharing
I'm a long-time subscriber to Sew the Distance and Lessons from and Old Quilt episodes are my favorite! You really captured the vibe of your inspiration. It looks great!

Dave!!!! You bless me so much and inspire me. Many of your feelings I totally relate too and was feeling alone in that space. But, YOU Dude help liberate me ❤. Thanks!!! Continue to be you. Sandi
I love the idea of using to different borders and stair stepping them. It's very effective. Thanks for sharing!!
Awesome. I love making no pattern scrap blocks. I have never tied a quilt. Might try this on one.
The blue and black stashing is perfect.😊
You have no fear!! 😍 How inspiring I find your videos you have no idea! 👏👏👏
Hey, Dave! Loved seeing all the fabrics used from your stash. It was like a flashback to all of your previous quilts. The Route 66 patch(?) was a nice addition. I follow Kris as well.

Thank you!! ❤️
Love the split of blue and black, Awesome.
You are so fun and playful. I love your creativeness.
Great job, i so need to do something with my scraps! Kris is great, I have discussed with her some vintage quilt tops i have aquired.
Thank you! ❤
Divno, počela sam da radim blokove, hvala na ideli. Imam puno otpadnih krpica od drugih radova, ovo je super❤
Love your blocks *and* the jazz! Really vibing with this whole video, thanks & congratulations on this gorgeous quilt!!!
Wonderful! I’ve never seen anyone do the quilting like that. Way cool. And the two color sashing really gives an extra zing to it.
love the blue and black sashing. I think it looks better than if it was all blue.
Love watching you create! Thanks for sharing your videos with us!
Wonderful as always!!!
I absolutely love how you tie your quilt. Enjoy for now. I’m too old to get on the floor like that. Lol
Again with the gorgeous music. It’s lovely. I turned it up but then you were yelling at me. Happy/sad. If you iron the scraps and stack them they are so much more compact. Zero guilt, you can add twice the scraps and you won’t notice. I really like your vids and quilts Dave.
Dave ,
I love that series too ❤
I thought I was the only one that thrives on the classics
I, too, love a scrappy quilt. Yours turned out great! I made a similar quilt two years ago when I was recovering from shoulder surgery and couldn't use my right arm. Mine is a lap quilt with black sashing and it is my go to quilt 😊
Thank you for the video Dave. I appreciate all your work.
Love your quilts and you never stop learning new techniques ❤️
Thumbs up, Dave! You never fail to please!!!
What a great way to use scraps! Gorgeous! You have such entertaining fabrics! I also like the black washing on half of the quilt! It looks like you planned it that way! Funny how that sometimes happens!
Love it, love those quirky fabric pieces too 👍👍😍😍😍😍
Love the way the smashing turned out much more interesting great work again Dave
I love your quilt! The sashing turned out beautifully. I like it better than if it were all blue. You are so good at compensating. I've learned so much from watching your videos.

Scrap quilts are my favorite reminds of my grandma
Looooove love love these blue and black stairs!💙🖤😍
Very clever solution to the problem. Stunning results! ❤👍from Somerset UK
Well done! I like the design of the different color sashing! Very original! I wouldn't have thought of that!
Very cool blocks!
The black and blue sashing works, and you didn't buy more fabric! Great project!
Awesome.. it came out cool. Love it
Beautiful and totally random gorgeousness 😍
Thank you once again. A great motivation to reduce scraps.
Every block is a work of art. Well do e.
Love 😍 your fantastic scraptastic quilt!! Love the different color sashing too. I am collecting scrappy squares as I go & now I can't wait to have more finished! Blessings
I kept noticing that happy donut fabric amongst your scraps...maybe, I have the munchies! Love how you combined the blue and black sashing. Great job!
❤❤❤ I love scrappy.
This is a really great looking quilt. The blue and then black sashing look amazing together. Julie Tasmania Australia ❤❤
As usual I agree with your train of thought and ideas. Genius!
Never tied a quilt think i like it sewn better yours so pretty great job
