Good morning, Jeannie! ☀This quilt made me so happy! I think it's bright and cheerful and will make some kiddo smile too! I appreciate your support of my channel very much! Have a wonderful day! ☀
These quilts are way more interesting and appealing to me anyways, than the more 'organized' or structured quilts we often buy as patterns!!! I still like them but I prefer scrappy one of a kinds!!
Like you there are many times I don’t like what I’m doing, but after regrouping and making a decision, once I have a few done, it usually makes me happy. If not, I trudge on and complete it - someone in my family or friends will always claim it.
So glad i found you... i'm retired using up a lifetime of scraps and fabrics... your idea of sorting into colorways is what i have found makes the nicest scrap quilts... This idea of using the tube method has given me a whole new outlook... Thank You!
Beautiful and true to the spirit of quilting to use what you already have. A very soothing thing I do after working is spend 20-30 minutes making 6x6 string blocks. Someday I will have enough to make a bed quilt for myself and be able to look at it and remember what the fabric was originally for. It'll take me years but that's ok!
Hi Annette! A lady gave me what ended up to be 8 or 9 boxes of fabric. I recently went through ALL, yes ALL of my fabric and scraps. I had it everywhere, in my craft room, otherwise known as my bedroom, (most of my dresser droors have sewing supplies in them, not clothes), fabric in my spare bedroom, fabric in my living room, fabric under my bed, and in my closet. I got rid of 4 boxes of fabric that as you said, I had used several times, and jsut wasn't using anymore. I gave it to my boss. She has 3 girls and I hope they use it someday. I had to get over worrying weather they would use it or not, I didn't want it anyways. I am hoping it will help me enjoy going forward from here! I am taking a break from buying fabric from thrift stores. It is hard to resist but so far so good! Thank you for the video! The quilt came out very nice.
Nice job! As quilters & at the price of fabric we cannot afford to waste any fabric. I try to turn all my leftover fabric into other projects using even small pieces for crumb quilting & the tiny pieces go into pillow cases for dog or cat beds. Some of my favorite projects are from scraps & crumbs! Love your finished project! 😊
You ertainly not alne on the way you felt as I am there right now myself. So glad to see you did something with them and it turned out great. You inspired me
I really enjoyed your video; I especially loved how you cut out the blocks using the tube method to make each square. I have seen other methods making the strip piecing by sewing strips on a piece of square muslin first. But your idea is brilliant!! As I watched your video, I couldn’t believe you at first didn’t like working with your scraps. I love scrappy quilts!! I love building blocks by sewing together my bits of scraps, and love the way it all works together. I was very happy that by the end of your video, you are now a convert and enjoyed making your beautiful scrappy quilt, It is gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing your process!
☀️ Thank you so much! I do love scraps. Just that this bunch had been around too long! WAY too long! haha. I'm reinvigorated now and ready to dive into more scrap projects! ☀️
@@sunbeamfabricartI was homeless with my 2 children 6 and 3 years old, at a point. I would have been so grateful to have any scraps. I would not care what they looked like. I learned a good lesson during homelessness, to be grateful and not petty. You can't have enough quilts and blankets. No matter what they look like, someone homeless in zero degrees will see a king's quilt.
@@jodeesmith1685 That is exactly why I keep them, and keep making quilts out of them to donate! (Even when I get overwhelmed!) I have been very very poor at times, but thank goodness never homeless. I did live in an attic once with no heat. We have some great organizations in my area that I am so honored to assist with my quilts. ☀🧵
I love that a beautiful quilt came from scraps! 💗 If in the future, you have scraps and you really don't want to deal with them, please consider giving them away or donating them to someone that really enjoys quilting but is limited on supplies. Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦅
I recently went through my fabrics and just got rid of anything I was tired of or had had for years and never used. I sent them to another quilter and she was thrilled to get them and made a beautiful quilt with them.
I watched to start with because we all have been at this point at some time. I love playing with scraps but often don’t know where to go so just muddle around. This shows us we are not the only one with these feelings and we don’t have to be in love with a project. The fact is even though it isn’t bringing us joy it might or we can always change direction or make and donate. I often forget to sort my fabric into color piles. That changes up your block quite a lot. We can even cut our blocks or strips up multiple ways. Thanks for sharing. By the way love how you incorporated an additional use of your yellow sheet. It blends quite well and sort of ties the blocks together even the piano keyboard. Loved it.
Wow 🤩 This is really amazing 😁 All from strips of scraps of fabric that might have been thrown away. You must be so, so pleased that you didn’t give up 😃 Thanks so much for sharing 👍 Hope this has inspired everyone to tackle their scraps 👏👏🇬🇧
This turned out so very beautiful. I am glad you tackled it. You made a great piece of art, from scratch/ scraps. Im very impressed. You made it look fun. Congratulations 🎉👏 you did it! Thank you for sharing this with us.😊❤
💞It's nice to see that there are regular shapes in your work, I believe it shows that these pieces that are being used are truly left over or scraps. perfect lines can discourage people. ( you show that one can put together a masterpiece with pieces.( what patients you have)🏆🙋👍 Priceless! "thank you for your share" 👩🌻🐕
Omgosh, I can totally relate to how you felt about your scraps! I really had a good laugh listening to you talk about not wanting to make anything with them, and your quilt top turned out REALLY BEAUTIFUL! I’m glad you persevered through this process and I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the scraps from this quilt! ❤
@@bella-bee Thanks! People either love or hate that old sheet in yellow/green! I have made a BUNCH of projects with it and I love it! ☀. But it's now almost all gone. Just the remnants from this project (triangle ends) to use up and it will all be gone! ☀
Gorgeous result! Ohmigosh though, I have always been a big proponent of you do you, you are the boss of your own quilt, etc; but I found myself muttering press, press, PRESS!!!! as you worked with those wrinkled scraps. Lol, had no idea I had a thing about ironing til I watched this video.
Hello Annette! I love you videos and enjoy your quilts, but I really love your music. Thanks for reminding me of this song. I had forgotten about it and you have brought it back into my life all along with your lovely quilts. Thanks again!
One of the tips you gave me was: Separate scraps according to size/length .... I had been pondering that, but until I saw your video, I had not convinced myself that it would actually accomplish anything! (And, sometimes, life and living gets between a concept and reality) ... I think one of the things that convinced me of the efficiency of separating by size and then (well, you know better than I what you do) ... it was something I noticed that you did ... almost every project you do has a basic color at regular intervals ... (That, I suppose, is enough control for me, because as soon as I notice that concept .... Katy bar the door! I have been off and running.).
☀️. Yes indeed, that is a SUPER TIME SAVER in the long run! ☀️. And maybe you picked up on my method of NOT ironing or cutting everything perfectly when dealing with scraps!. I'm not about perfection when working with scraps, but mostly having FUN and getting things done! ☀️.
@@sunbeamfabricart most people think in "perfection" mode immediately ... the rotary cutter is a great equalizer when scrap quilting, I have found ... definitely.
I make string blocks almost continuously and crumb blocks constantly. When I have enough to start sewing together, then the blocks begin to turn into something.
Wow, I love your process and your finished quilt top. It's gorgeous. What a great way to do string quilting! Well done you, as they say across the pond.
It was really fun to watch your process. I found myself trying to guess which direction you would go with this project. At first I thought you were doing something akin to a "Jelly Roll Race" but I love your solution to that big ol' scrap pile!
☀️ Oh thank you! People either love or hate that yellow/green old sheet I have been using up! I love it, but am ready to see it used up! ☀️. Almost done, just one more little project to clean up the remnants from THIS video! Those triangle ends. ☀️
I truly admire your tenacity and the blocks are lovely. I recently donated a small tub of red, white, blue strips to a donation center. Last year I had made two projects from these fabrics, most of which I had inherited. This year I made 9 string block hot pads from those same fabrics. After that, I was done with them. Hopefully the leftovers will be a "treasure" to someone else. Your Quilt is gorgeous!
Good for you😊. I know what you mean about having scraps taking over your space. I know you must of done a happy dance when it was completed. When I saw the conglomerate of the pile I thought negative thoughts. But you actually achieved a bright happy quilt. “Job well done”!
Annette👏👏👏 awesome. It’s really pretty. It’s so amazing how ugh, ugh, ugh it’s irritating me- turned out to be: I Love It🥰 you go girl, thanks for conquering your challenge and giving us inspiration. ❤️😀
This is beautiful. I was wondering what you were going to make. I love this. It brings the original reason for making patchwork quilts . They were made using scraps of any small pieces of fabric the maker could get their hands on. I find it a bit frustrating when I look at quilt makers using fresh new reams of expensive fabric, instead of using what you have on hand. Thanks for your very clear video. 👍
I sew any 2 1/2 strip scraps I have together end to end. when I need binding I use that scrap strip for binding. There are times when I choose a fabric specifically for binding but it is rare
That's a great plan! ☀️. As you probably noticed my strips were not nice neat strips of 2.5" each. They were very messy and very irregular! But I'm so glad I stuck with it and it turned into a great quilt I can donate to charity! ☀️
I've heard of some folks cutting out cardboard templates to use, then you simply draw your line and cut on the line. It's a little more time consuming, but WAY cheaper! Thanks for watching.
Our local guild will have a swap day where everyone brings a bag of scraps and we swap. Sometimes we look at them, other times it's just a straight swap, sight unseen. I like it because I often get fabric I would never consider buying myself. And it keeps me from getting sick of the same old fabric that NEVER seems to go away.
I love your strips too! I wasn't to fond of the first log cabin block either. The patterns and fabrics just didn't sing to me. However, once you decided to strip the scraps and go from there...pure magic!! 🤩✨
A very nice thing to do with your scraps is to donate it to a charity shop. Some people don't have a lot of money to buy fabric an so they rely on thrift stores to get fabric to make things.😊💛
Thanks! Love this Quilt and leftover strip idea!! ❤
Good morning, Jeannie! ☀This quilt made me so happy! I think it's bright and cheerful and will make some kiddo smile too! I appreciate your support of my channel very much! Have a wonderful day! ☀
I really love your videos and stash busting quilts! Maybe you could change up the background music?
These quilts are way more interesting and appealing to me anyways, than the more 'organized' or structured quilts we often buy as patterns!!! I still like them but I prefer scrappy one of a kinds!!
Me too! ☀️☀️
me too.

So true! Thanks! ☀️☀️
You turned trash into treasure! Great job!
Yes! Thank you!☀️
Really love this quilt!! I’m so glad you tackled this stash!
Thank you so much!☀️
It really turned out scrapfantastic!😂❤❤❤
I thank you! ☀️
Awesome. I wasn't too keen on the amount of that yellow and green fabric, but in the end, it worked out fabulously!!!
Thank you! That yellow green was an old sheet set! I’ve made some really pretty things from it. And now it’s ALL Gone! 😂☀️☀️☀️
@@ladyjane3660 I agree! This one is my favorite from that set to date: th-cam.com/video/hVAJmYVnqq8/w-d-xo.html
Wow what a beautiful surprise. You've given me hope for my tub of strips!
Oh that’s great! ☀️
Wow that is just beautiful !! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Cheers!☀️

Wonderful! ☀️. My mind was blown the first time I learned about strip tubes! ☀️
Love the end product. This says there's yet hope for my six boxes of scraps...soon as I have a spare month to form them into something useful. 😀
You can do it! 🩵
It’s just beautiful! Maybe JUST WHAT I NEEDED to get the juices flowing again.
Thanks for the inspiration
You are so welcome!☀️
I love scrappy string quilts - this one is wonderful
Thanks! ☀️
It's a cute quilt top. I love how cheerful it is.
Thanks! ☀️
Wow. That was a lot of fabric and basically you have a fabulous “free” quilt,
Indeed! Thank you! ☀️
Turned out beautiful! ❤

What a gorgeous "end product" from annoying scraps...like the story of "The Ugly Duckling"!

Simply Marvellous 🙋♀️🇨🇦
