- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มี.ค. 2021
- In this episode I show you how you can use even small squares from your scrappy stash (that you might have otherwise thrown away as leftovers)
to make something useful and beautiful!
I show you my quick method on how to make the traditional
Broken Dishes Quilt Block using 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" scrappy squares.
I also talk about my quilt books and how I use my stash to sew the quilts for them and chat about how I make doll/mini quilts. I hope you enjoy!

I could watch you all day. But I now going to try a scrap quilt. Thanks for sharing
I have almost all your books. I'm making the weathervane table runner now in Prairie and just joined the Lori Holt Club with Fat Quarter Shop. I plan to start the Quick Broken Dishes quilt and Criss Cross Star Block quilt as soon as I receive the first shipment! Each month I will add new blocks from each shipment to create 2 quilts!
I also have so much of your fabric but love that you will be curating the fabrics. I won't have to think about all those color combos. I've watched all your tutorials and am a huge fan of all your creations! I'm so inspired! Thanks so much!
Hi Lori from Maine😘. I used to follow you on your blog several years ago up as I was recuperating from a severe injury. Reading the quilt blogs kept me sane during those 2 years. Afterwards as life went on, I didn’t have the time between working, my two horses, and quilting. I’d occasionally throw housework in there. Just kidding as I’m an organizational person. Follow the genes! My father was a design engineer.
Recently saw you on Kimberly Jolly’s interview. I ❤️ loved the show and couldn’t believe that I hadn’t been watching/following your channel. Really enjoyed this show. I once sewed triangles as I was working on my ‘main’ quilt that would become a gift for my brother and sister-in-law.
This show has prided me to utilize this technique for more quilts. I have found that for me…..I prefer to make a quilt from start to finish, training myself to ignore promptings to start a new quilt while making my current one. Full disclosure, sometimes the label and pictures happen after the quilt is finished…. Like several weeks.
I was fascinated watching your system today. I do have one although not quite as thought out. I have a black stained hutch that hubby made in my quilt room with three shelves. I use glass jars similar to the ones at stores way back when, that sat on the checkout counter with whole pickles in them. I store fabric cut into many different sizes and labeled: Light, Medium, Dark and the 2.5” also Bright. I’m constantly using these.
I’m also a born and raised New Englander so ‘frugality’ is in my genes. The quilt that I am binding right now has a pieced backing. It evolved as I didn’t have any yardage suitable for this quilt so I used leftover fabric form the front along with more on hand. When I started the backing and looking for fabric, I came across about 1 yard of blueish landscape that I loved. It reminded me of Maine winters (my favorite season). It is sort of watercolor visually. It was perfect. So I cut it into maybe 7-8 chunks… all different sizes. Then I added fabrics improvisational style until it was large enough for my backing.
It’s so much fun showing the quilt as the response is divided when I ask friends and family which side is the top. This isn’t the first time that a long ago forgotten fabric was Just the Perfect choice for a quilt. In this case, it created a spectacular Second Quilt. I named it Winter Frost, quite aptly named. I even sprinkled in frosted fabrics on both sides. Reminds me when we have ice storms and the gorgeous view as soon as the sun comes out on our snow covered winter woodlands.
Oh, btw, I am in the process of planning a quilt for a son and daughter-in-law who have requested a farm quilt. I have collected plaid flannel for the quilt and designed several farm related vignettes for appliqué. Some will incorporate some of their stories. With watching this video, I’m now thinking of buying one of your farm books and adding several pieced blocks. Again, I see this layout as an improvisational style quilt.
Thanks so much and hugs from Maine. Heading out to give my horses, Noel and Holiday their hay. (Their names is a whole other story!
Each time I watch any of your videos, I catch myself saying "She is just simply brilliant!" I LOVE this idea for making the broken dishes block. SOOOO much easier for those tiny pieces. :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving such great advice.
Me too! I also close my eyes and dream of a room like this
I still cannot figure out how you find the time to quilt, cross stitch, crochet and design blocks and publish so many books. You are truly a super person and so glad you share with us. Such inspiration is unlimited. I need to get up earlier and stay up later to try and catch up😆
What is the bundle on the table.
Love this block thanks for ideas🌸
Ditto!!
You are so clever! Great way to make the broken dishes!
You have helped me so very much!!! Thank you!! Love your videos. Just got my scrappy quilt book!!!
This has to be the cutest sewing room.
Yes love the Featherweights.
The sewing room is very lovely!
The yellow sewing -mashine is my favorite!
Right!!
Definitely I am going to go through my teenie tiny scrap stash tomorrow.
When I look at how many things that you are involved in; crochet, cross-stitch, fabric collections, quilt patterns, quilt books, video tutorials in each craft, visiting other quilt shops and doing videos with them... the list goes on and on. How do you do it, girl? I am awed by your accomplishments. Love these scrappy quilt blocks that you are sharing with us and appreciate all the tips to get a nice completed block. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Blessings to y'all.
Lori, the inspiration & joy I feel from your channel is my sanctuary right now, Thank You!!🌸
Looking at that adorable yellow featherweight makes me wish I had my mom's old singer. Or even better yet, my Grandma's old treadle machine!
The music is very motivating. I need that to start playing when the alarm clock goes be off. Just love it. Beautiful quilts.
The scrappy background makes me think of shirting. Liz Porter made some of the best quilts with 1800's reproduction fabrics and shirting fabrics I have seen. Those type of quilt and Lori's happy fabrics are catnip for me! I am in heaven! 😊
The toy old fashioned washer is fabulous with the little quilt hanging out of it.
I love the little houses.
Thank you Lori for sharing with us! You are so generous and kind to show us your blocks. Can’t wait to start another happy quilt!!
You make things so clear,I have no one to help in my family,I'm the only one that sews.
Are you a new beginner in sewing?
I can’t thank you enough for this Sew Your Stash series! I learn so much with each and every video! Now if I could just get as much piecing, cross stitch, and crocheting done as you do, I’d be one very happy camper! I always look forward to your weekly videos (and many thanks to your daughter for filming them for us)!
Good morning from Russel, Ontario. I love you’re method of sorting and storing your fabrics. Your method of piecing is fantastic.
Love these blocks and the bright, happy scrappiness of them! Your sewing studio is a crafters dream!! Thanks for sharing your time, designs and wonderful tips and tricks to making beautiful treasures! I bet your grandbaby LOVES going to her Grannies house!!!
Thank you Lori for your wonderful information and thank you for taking time out of your day to show all your generous how to’s. I appreciate them very much.
I love scrappy - it never gets boring. This is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos. I love your happy room and vintage style. Thanks for sharing!
You bring so much joy and learning to all of us! Thank you for being you!
It just amazes me how much you get done. Everything is so fun and pretty. An awesome place to design and create in. Cassidy does a great job of filming. Thanks Cassidy!
I’m definitely a scrap-happy lady! Thanks for the encouraging chat on sewing the small things 🥰
Such cute ...everything! I was born in 1950 and all your pretty colors would have gone with my bedroom. Now I want your books and make my great nieces doll quilts!
Love the small stuff. I used to make miniaturescand have made king size too
I normally do not like scrappy quilts but I love yours ! I also like the old fashion blocks , churn dash is one of my favorite ! Thank you for all your tips and videos !
Oh Lori, this is cute ☺
I have a vintage child’s mixer like in your intro. I love how you use it for pins and thread!!! your space is so happy ......
You have the happiest fabric EVER. I love anything you make.
Lori, your "sew your stashes series" become my most favorite tutorial, endless ideas, so fun. I have made scrappy crossroad blocks, they became my livingroom side table toppers, couch arm rest covers, etc. Thank you.
Love all you do Lori. Love love yr sewing room. You are so well organized and it's all too cute. I myself love anything vintage. I always have. Thank you for all you do ...we appreciate you!!
Thank you, Lori, for sharing your knowledge about quilting, crochet and cross-stitch and all other stitching! The broken dishes block is just adorable 🥰!!! I’ve started saving my scraps the way you talked about in your Scrappy Project Planner book!! So many beautiful quilts in all of your books
I am so in love with those doll quilts and those cute blocks! Thank you for showing how to use your sewing time wisely by doing “bonus” blocks! Have a wonderful day 💖
Lori, you have inspired me yet again! Since you began your series, I've been a lot more respectful of my scraps!
I too view my scraps so much differently and rue the day when I didn't. Darn. You sure have some beautiful patterns!
What beautiful quilt blocks! I love these old fashioned blocks made with your fabrics! Also, thanks for showing how you normally fit in sewing secondary projects in between. That seems more doable to me now. No wasting thread either! This is just great and I love it!
I'm totally jealous of all of your different color featherweight machines. I want that green one! I absolutely love your room. I moved to a really small apartment, I'm 77 and all I really need is my TV a couch a bid and my sewing space and I'm a happy camper. I thought I had enough to do until I started watching your videos and now I can't live long enough. LOL. A friend and I are really into Scrappy and I've been sharing your videos with her and she loves all of the scrap blocks that you make. As do I. Thank you so much for your sharing. I know so many people are hooked on you as a quilter and now I understand why
I could spend a week just looking at all the wonderful things you have in your studio. I can imagine it is a fun place to create!!
I have been doing the crumb type of blocks as a bonus when sewing. I like the idea of having specific sizes. I need to organize my scraps!
I really love all of your tutorials. Only second to your family stories. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
All great.
That's why I love quilting. You can take the same block and have so many different designs! Each one as lovely as the next. Thank you Lori.
Thank You Lori, you have inspired me to make the broken dishes blocks, I am a newer quilter and love watching this series of videos. your scrappy quilts are beautiful, thank you x
Love your shortcuts! Right now I'm into doll quilts with a 4 yr old grand-daughter and a 4 yr grand-niece. This video came at the perfect time - Thanks sew much, Lori!
Lori I have never seen this method for the hour glass blocks. My mind is blown and I’m so excited and can’t wait to stitch some of these blocks. Thank you for your genius teaching. Love all your scrappy goodness. ✂️✂️✂️
You keep me motivated. I’m working on putting my scraps in order right now. I will be so happy to get them the right sizes and I can start using them. Thank you!!!
Love your videos Lori. Thank you for showing the alternative way of putting the 1/2 square triangles.
I spent a week cutting up all my scraps and organizing just like you have. You have been such an inspiration ♥️ I love your projects and thank you so much for showing me how to use my scraps!!!
I love what you do with colour and I think your little quilts are so sweet. Your instructions are concise and easy to follow.
Thanks so much Lori.
Blessings Gail.
Thanks Lori for another great video. I so much appreciate you showing us how you sew your blocks. Love your fabrics also.
Lori,
You Rock. I love all that you make. Your a true creator.💞💞
Lori,
I see all your gorgeous quilts and I don't know where to begin. I'm drooling and my mind is going in every direction.😊🥰💘
You have my heart again Lori :)! When I first saw the block we were going to make, I didn't think it would be this easy to put together. How awesome - love, love your 'quick' style of making these!!
Lori, It is no wonder why Kristie and Kimberly love to visit with you. You are AMAZING! Your excellent teaching skill and sharing of your tips and tricks have made me a better quilter. Of course all your fabric lines, cross stitch and books are so beautiful. Thank you ever so much.❤️🧵🪡❤️
I can’t tell you how much I love spending time with you in your sewing room. I soak in all the cheerful cuteness which makes me so happy, and I always learn so much! Thank you. ❤️
I enjoy touring your bright and cheerful sewing space every time. Love your tutorials!
I really love this series! Thanks so much for doing these scrappy blocks.....I just need to get on the stick and cut my scraps into useable sizes! ❤️
Love watching your videos. Lots of fun
Thanks for the inspiration once again! I love this series. I lost my quilting/sewing mojo a few months back but am slowly getting it back with the help of videos like yours and other quilters.
Thank you Lori!... You inspire all of us Lori Holt wannabes! I could watch you all day long... but then wouldn't get any sewing done... Please keep up all the hard work that goes into these videos... We appreciate it so much!!
You are so kind to share your knowledge with us! Thank you!!!
I love scrappy quilts too! Thank you for your clever tutorial Broken dishes, perfect! I am a true follower of your tutorials, books and ideas! Already made a broken dishes block. You are an inspiration!
Lori I'm a Utah girl too but no longer live in state. I appreciate this series so much! I have loved every video so much and they are very helpful to me. Thank you!!
Lori, once again, I am in awe of your talent. I don't think I can express my gratitude for all of your generosity in sharing your knowledge with all of us. Casity is one lucky daughter to have such an amazing and wonderful mom! Thank you so much for all you share. As always, your work is outstanding! The way you explain everything is beyond words. Thank you!
I love love love your scrappy, vintage looking quilt squares!! Thanks for sharing your tips!
Lori you make beautiful blocks so simple and easy for us. Your helpful tips are very welcoming! Your videos are such a relaxing joy to watch and learn. And thanks to your daughter's filming skills.
I found the broken dishes block during quarantine last year. It was one of 12 blocks in a low-volume BOM - it was handles down my favorite. That is saying a lot because I love a four patch. Thank Lori for giving me a new way to piece them and some new color way inspiration!
Absolutely adorable. You are amazing
Lori, thank you so much for doing these videos. I learn so many tips an tricks from you. I also just enjoy watching them, I could watch them all day. Thanks again!
You are so clever, Lori! I love learning from you. Thank you!!!
Thank you, I’m conservative about a lot of things, and using the smaller scrape of fabric, I am not always quit to throw away. I’m a new beginner in learning about quilting and using the small pieces of material of fabric is good for me to start with I feel. I enjoyed your video on this. There so..much to learn in quilting. Thank you.
I love watching you make the blocks. Thank you and I love the look.
Love all your videos,fabrics and accessories
MIND BLOWN! I love this method using the easy corner triangles. I can’t wait to try this. I love your channel and the Sew Your Stash series. I look forward to your videos every week and I hope they never end. Your sewing space and creativity are truly inspiring. 😊
Love your see my stash you make every everything so clear. I just got your book the Spelling Bee book and I have to say it is wonderful. The book is so well written . I love the spiral bounding.
That was so great. U gave very clear instructions. I can’t image how U can be so organized. Hope springs eternal!
Thank you!! So much inspiration! Definitely going to try this. I’m a little worried getting everything lined up and not too bulky. Your tips will definitely help with that. Really appreciate you taking the time to do these videos.
Thank you so much for all that you have been sharing on your channel.
Such a clever way to create this blocks.....I have tons of scraps to use up and incented now that I won't be making small HST's. THANK YOU again, love this series, actually love the entire channel mix.
Thank you Laurie you are such a inspiration!! This video speaks to me.My dream for quilting has always been small projects!!
I love the ideas. I have started the twinkle star with my fabric strips. My left over fabric is being store with a purpose. Thanks for showing me how to cut fabrics in strips and store them for future use.
I love the way you use am all
I love the way you use scraps. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your knowledge at 73 i decided to start patchwork and found you Lori I am loving my classes and make each projects thank you
Most importantly, I LOVE how you make your books with a spiral binding. It is SO much easier to open & lay flat than others that are made with a traditional glued binding. Your books are amazing...my goal is to hopefully someday own them ALL, even though I haven't attempted making the applique pieces. Your way of making these tiny blocks makes it so much easier than doing it other ways. Thanks for sharing your great knowledge!!!
What a great and easy way to make the Broken Dishes block. I will definitely try our your method. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoy watching all those beautiful scrappy projects. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the small tutorial I am in hospital with cancer so it keeps my mind on getting back to my quilting when I’m done,which from what I understand will be in about 6-7 months so all of you feeds all me so thank you so much Sonja
I wish that I could live in your sewing room Lori. Makes me happy!
Beautiful! Thank you fir showing how to use smaller pieces to make cute blocks!
Hi there from the UK, I love your videos they are truly inspirational. I wish more shops in the UK stocked your range of fabric it's so pretty.
Love it! Each time, I love it....And I look at your intro over and over and even make my husband watch it, too, sometimes.
Thanks for the tutorial on baby bed quilts and small squares...your thinking always expands my mine when I watch your video’s ❣️
Time flies when I watch your videos, I'm hooked from beginning to end.
Greatly appreciated, i have been saving my scraps and plan on doing this project...thank you.
You’re talking my talk! I’ve been sewing scraps for over a year-remnants from incubator covers. The lady (84) that sees with me thinks I’m a bit too precise. I’m sending her this video. Thank you and bless you!
Hi Lori, I just got the Farm Girl Vintage and Farm Girl Vintage 2 books yesterday from the Fat Quarter Shop. I have already looked at them again and again. Love the. Can’t wait you use them. Love this series.
I have just recently found your you-tubes. You are the best teacher EVER!! I see your books in my future. Thank you.
What an inspiration you are. I just need to collate all your scrappy patterns some how, so I can make them!
Hi Lori, Boy, when you were showing your books I cannot tell you how much I wanted to sew with those sew-a- longs. I didn’t have the fabrics or the skills I felt I needed at that time. So I am in catch up mode now. I love this series. 👏😁👏 Thank you so much for everything you do I am really enjoying myself while sewing and making beautiful quilts. ❤️🥰👏 Chris-Raleigh NC
I love this technique as well as all the others you have shown...simply amazing...thank you for sharing with us!
