I made a red, white and black quilt that was 7 squares by 9 rows. Since I was making it for a little girl, I added a border made of Minnie Mouse fabric from my left overs. It turned out better than I expected.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with oodles of noodles as thats what i call all my scrap bins. I've got lots of scrap busting to do. Thanks for another great tutorial. 😊
A good thing about watching RUclips quilters is that you see things you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. This is a Rail Fence I never would have come up with and I think it’s really cool! I make QOV’s so I have lots of RWB fabric that would make up great like this. Thanks for this idea!
Thank you for sharing. I loved both your purple and yellow quilt and the red, white and blue quilt. You have a gentle pleasant voice and simple clear instructions - as a new quilter, I really appreciate both. Thank you.
Placemats are fun to make with extra blocks or pieces. Our quilt guild donates between 150-200 place each year to Meals on Wheels. Over the years we have donated a little over 1, placemats. The placemats are delivered in early December to be delivered with a food delivery. They bring such joy both from the maker but more so to the recipe to. Love your “get rid of 2.5” strips series.
LOL! Seeing fabric scraps in your bins that are also in mine. You do have way more though. Thank you for posting! You've gotten me re-motivated and I'm back on projects I had laid aside.
The rail fence quilt was the very first quilt I ever made. 5 years later it is still my favorite go-to make it quick quilt!! Love the purple one and happy to have such a great pattern for it ….Thank you!!
Our Quilt Guild like many others makes community quilts. a lot of the quilters donated their 2.5 inch strips. your pattern is a winner. There are so many variations of the rail fence. I like yours because of the alternate square using both primary colors. thank you for all your strip videos.
I don't quilt, but this a way to use scraps to make a lap throw for nursing home patients. I like to watch your videos because you take a lot of the guess work out of sewing simple projects. Thank you for sharing,
I am a new quilter. I would love to have to enough scraps to make the quilts you are making. Some day I will be there☺and will enjoy the process of making quilts with left overs! I am enjoying your videos and am getting a lot of great ideas. Thanks so very much! Linda
both colors are beautiful but, the yellow and purple were my junior high school colors and purple is my favorite color so it's my fav, thanks for sharing
Great video and even better series! I look forward to it each month. I have started putting my 2 1/2 inch scrapes in a different pile to make some of these quilts.
I love your RUclips channel❤ I started the year with you with the project boxes and doing what a month but that my homie just burn so I can keep up with that but I am loving your scrap series and your state of the month. I love the way you teach you use beautiful fabric and I just so appreciate the time you did a cake to this thank you so much Charolett Howard from Texas
I am LOVING these videos!! My trash stash, as I call it, looks very much like yours and you have given me the confidence to face it like a champ!! Please keep this series going and when you're done with 2 1/2 strips, try doing a series with smaller bits and pieces. I have lots of those too.
I was just saying, I always forget how nicely gold goes with purple. I mused to my partner that I might need to do a purple and gray with gold accent project - and they reminded me that purple and gold are the local university colors, which I couldn't give two cents about. I wouldn't want to have others see my quilt and assume I'm a big college sports fan, or something! All silly, of course. Love this series!
Love, Love Love this quilt. I have been watching since you started this monthly 2.5 inch series. I have subscribed. Thanks so much for the great inspiration. I would like to try this one in blues and greens.
Какая красота, как я люблю копаться вот в таких коробках с обрезками....эх подарил бы кто нибудь на Новый Год одну такую коробку...я бы до конца жизни молилась бы за этого человека...❤
I’m making a quilt for a ten year old boy. It will have forest green, prints of camping and dinosaurs and maybe white or royal blue. Or the green will be the backing and the white or blue will connect the various prints I have collected.
I don't remember if it was the late 80' or early nineties, fashion designers were putting strong brown but not nearly black, with strong purple, hot pink and strong teal together. Though the brown and one of the others were in separate garments. It is sorta like flamingo colours, with teal sky and brown water, purple night sky? It was very striking at the time. Put some on a mat and see how it goes together? You'll be there a while, wow, you've done some quilts, so much fun. Could some shorter bits go end to end as leaders and enders, then work as part of a jelly roll race style top? You could also do 2 short bits for a 4,1/2"brick unit (square) and put them together like a scrappy narrow rail fence? Or just cut bricks for bigger potato chip blocks. You should be able to do a trip around the world, with like 20 different contrasts, and no repeats? You have so many possibilities. So is separating each lot by sizes when you get to them, and folding the longer ones next, to tame them further? All the best
I’m a string piece and I can’t wait to sew them all together and rail-fence a bunch at a time! Might use little borders for cohesive look. You are so inspiring to me!! ❤Thank you. Ps my passion is color combining.
Great use of strips. This was useful! I love the block because it’s easy but sure makes a statement. My brother just received a quilt of valor which was a rail fence! Thank you, Connie from Kentucky
Beautiful quilts! Love that you share ways to use up our scraps! I think a black and Orange for Halloween would be cute and of course a Christmas one would be cute. Your pastels would be pretty for a spring quilt.
I’m going to use this pattern for a baby blanket. The colors will be mostly blues but I may have to accept a little inconsistency in the cord because I’m using stash and not buying new fabric. 😃
Scrap bins look bigger because they have been "fluffed" by pulling out colors. If you just hand folded the width of your bins and boxes into longest, mid size, and under 12 inch length it would reduce bulk by a huge amount.
OMG, the picture of you sitting in a sea of fabric scraps 😲😲😲😲😲
I'm fascinated how you manage to keep track of the colours you need to use and keeping the momentum without losing the pattern. Blows my mind!
Pink , yellow and white. Call it summertime lemonade 🍋🍓
Now that’s a collection of colored pencils! Thank you for the great ideas and a great quilt.😊
I made a red, white and black quilt that was 7 squares by 9 rows. Since I was making it for a little girl, I added a border made of Minnie Mouse fabric from my left overs. It turned out better than I expected.
Your 2 1/2 inch strip quilt videos are so relaxing! I would love to see more.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with oodles of noodles as thats what i call all my scrap bins. I've got lots of scrap busting to do. Thanks for another great tutorial. 😊
I love watching your shows, because I think my color sense has gone away . I 😊would like to see the quilt in blue-yellow -lighter blue.
I like purple and green together. Also, I think red and green would look neat for Christmas.
Such a good series. I could listen to you narrate these all day. You have a very appealing narrative style. I hope this series continues!
A good thing about watching RUclips quilters is that you see things you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. This is a Rail Fence I never would have come up with and I think it’s really cool! I make QOV’s so I have lots of RWB fabric that would make up great like this. Thanks for this idea!
This is so true!
Bless you, Beverly, for your QOVs.
What are QOV’s and RWB?
@dhardwick1228 QOV = Quilts of Valor, RWB = red, white & blue
@@angelacarnes2894 thank you
It a true fact I ever throw away one piece of fabric a child need the expression of ❤
Loving your attitude of ‘no over-thinking’! 😎😁
Thank you for sharing. I loved both your purple and yellow quilt and the red, white and blue quilt. You have a gentle pleasant voice and simple clear instructions - as a new quilter, I really appreciate both. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Good old rail fence. Love it. Thanks for the series 😊
I love the series. Watching you do this with such ease is liberating.
Envisioning teal green, rose, and gold... I love these videos! Excellent graph, btw! 😃
I really enjoyed watching your video while I was chopping a bunch of fat quarters into 2.5 inch strips!
A great podcast especially for newer quilters. A wealth of info and a excellent podcast. Nice job.
This series has captured my attention! I have loved all 3 so far and can't wait for the next one!
Learning so very much!!! Thanks
The possibilities are endless here. I love that! Blue and orange would be pretty. I love the purple and yellow version!
Browns are really nice with soft blues and pinks. I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you.

Thank you for posting! You've gotten me re-motivated and I'm back on projects I had laid aside.
I think I like to try making this pattern with Halloween fabrics. 🎃🎃🎃
This quilt would look great in all the primary colors for a child. Or a great rainbow colored quilt.
Grey,peaches and pale aqua.😮
@@violetlaferriere3985I like your idea of color combos
Soft green and yellow would make a nice baby gift.
I am truly enjoying this series! Thank you for all that you do!!!
You are so welcome!
Wow! I thought I had a lot of scraps! 😂That’s a brilliant way to use them!
Looks like a great quilt for a University of Northern Iowa fan!

More to come!
Neat quilt idea. thanks.

Love this idea! I never would have thought of it. Now it’s definitely on my bucket list. Anyone would love to receive it. Thank you!
I have put in a request to join your FB group. Love your quilts! Thank you!
Your little scissors look so sharp..Do you have a place to get em sharpened????
You have a lot of pretty scraps. I wouldn't have that many. Your quilt is so pretty. Thanks for video
both colors are beautiful but, the yellow and purple were my junior high school colors and purple is my favorite color so it's my fav, thanks for sharing
I'm inspired to use blue, tan, an coral to make a beach quilt.
Pink and purple
Great video and even better series! I look forward to it each month. I have started putting my 2 1/2 inch scrapes in a different pile to make some of these quilts.
Ooh, i might rainbow this😁🌈

This looks great. It is nice to see someone who sews like me. Not many people chain piece like you do. It is great
Your ideas are interesting.

Pink and coral would be fun for a springy quilt
Wow, this looks so wonderful! Thank you so much, I’ve included this on my wannado list🎉 ❤️😀
Wonderful!
Beautiful, imaginative quilt. Thanks for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset, UK
Thank you! 😊
How I wish I had scraps like that….I just started and I am elderly so this will never be in this lifetime…..
Those quilts are gorgeous
Oh my goodness so cute! So many options, purple & green, blue & yellow, the list could be endless.
Thank you for the ideas & tutorial
Love both your quilts.
I love finding new was to make QOV quilts. Will definitely try this one.

Thank you for the inspiration! I’d like to make a blue and orange version… my college’s colors. Your two turned out great!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the video 😊
Nice pattern!
Beautiful quilts. Thanks for the tutorial and coloring page
Glad you enjoyed it!

Such a versatile pattern. I really into the blue and gold combination right now or just plain scrappy.
Nice job!
I’m going to use green and browns to make this. I have a lot of earthy tones that will look great with a creamy background
This is going to be a great scrap buster for my red, white and blue strips! Thank you.
So much fun to watch you make these quilts. They are so pretty!
The hardest thing when making this quilt for me was nesting the seams. The video does a fair job of explaining but it is crucial.
And the white center strips tie the blocks and tone down the scrappiness.
I’m a string piece and I can’t wait to sew them all together and rail-fence a bunch at a time! Might use little borders for cohesive look. You are so inspiring to me!! ❤Thank you. Ps my passion is color combining.
I am really enjoying these videos about the 2 1/2 inch strip quilts. I have never quilted before and I am excited to try some of these. Thank you.
New to quilting. Thanks for your. Helpful hints. I'm going to do red, white & black for my son.
Lovely colour
I love sewing strips. It’s so relaxing. Thanks for sharing your pattern
I first listened to this tutorial while driving….. now is my chance to watch! Many thanks for your style, use of pleasing music and GREAT lesson!!!
Today was my QOV sewing day!
Nice job!! Thank y ou for sharing this beautiful quilt!! What program do you use to make the graph?
Really nice. Thanks for doing the math too
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Great use of strips. This was useful! I love the block because it’s easy but sure makes a statement. My brother just received a quilt of valor which was a rail fence! Thank you, Connie from Kentucky
It’s a fun quilt. I love the colors
I am new at quilting. I am learning so much watching your videos.
Wonderful!

True! I downsized mine tremendously by doing this very thing!
Wouldn’t be as much fun though!
Really enjoying your channel!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I LOVE IT❤
I love this video and I am hoping to make a purple and teal quilt.
Love the purple and yellow but also like purple and pink together too
Lovely!! I’m partial to red white and blue!!
Great idea! You did a fabulous job showing us how to make the quilt. Love the design.
Thank you so much!
Both color ways are beautiful however I am partial to the red, white and blue as my late husband served 20 yrs in the US Navy!
We appreciate his service!
Impressive, thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊
Love both color way but think the Red, White and Blue is my choice to do
I love this quilt!
