    Team pin for sure! I've learned the hard way that I need to pin all of the intersections. It takes more time but, for me, the results are sooo much better that it's worth it.

      Me, too. I've also learned the hard way. My Longarmer is very impressed with my "junctions" .

    That is so cute using the Sweetwater fabrics...and what a quick pattern to put together. I have used their "Vintage" mini charms for placemats. This quilt reminds me of the 50s!

    This quilt just goes to prove you don't have to make a gazillion HSTs to make a lovely quilt.
    Sometimes simple is best. Thanks Kimberly. Joining the pinning team.

    For the longest, I did not pin, but after watching your videos (from waaaay back), I started that practice and I have to say, I get a much more precise finish. So I am now Team Pin!

    You can use those strips for paper crafts, or sew the ends together to make fabric yarn balls and crochet them to make cute rugs or pet pads

    • @jennytobias6551

      How do you do that Marcy? Do you sew them first and then crochet them?

    • @shellyrichards7455
      @shellyrichards7455 3 года назад +5

      I make string blocks and crumb blocks. Anything that is at least 3/4" I'll utilize in a scrap block. Anything smaller can be used to stuff a pet bed.

    • @robertaarrowsmith2860
      @robertaarrowsmith2860 3 года назад +3

      I would probably cut the 8.5 square so I had 1.5 strips left over for another project as well. But I thought the scraps in a jar was a cute idea.

    • @marlahanks7278
      @marlahanks7278 3 года назад +2

      @@robertaarrowsmith2860 I'm with you on the cutting!! I did a project from Gudrun Erla's RUclips that used up leftover Honey Bun strips so having these 1.5" left would work great. Or as @Shelly Richards said above-use them for crumb blocks-which I've been on a roll making :)

    I definitely pin seam intersections. Buying mini charms is so addictive but expensive. I’ll use a layer cake plus mini charms and charm packs from coordinating fabric lines to make a scrappy quilt.

    I was gifted a huge box of 80’s era poly pillow stuffing. I’ve been chopping up my tiny scraps of batting and fabric with my rotary cutter and adding those crumbs to my free pillow stuffing. No one knows but me what’s in those pet beds and pet toys and it keeps it from going in the trash.

  • @ladyd54
    @ladyd54 3 года назад +1

    Kimberly, one could also use the original Stripology Ruler, for you only have to lift the ruler after cutting the strips and turn it to them make the second cut for the 2.5 squares. I’m a big fan of pinning.

    You can cut those scraps into equal lengths and tie time onto a length of thick twine. It makes a cute rustic bunting.

  • @sharihannah9251
    @sharihannah9251 3 года назад +1

    I pin at the intersections to keep crisp lines as needed. Otherwise usually no pinning. As a former clothing sewer less pins and removing them as I go was new to me. I learned to sew over pins and rarely if ever broke a needle back in the day!!

    @wandamarsh5861 3 года назад +4

    Sometimes I pin, and sometimes I don’t. If I am matching seams or trying not to cut off tips (like in flying geese), then I pin. I also tend to pin when I add borders so I don’t stretch the fabric. If I am just straight stitching squares, strips or rectangles together, I don’t pin. Cute pattern. Thank you so much for providing so many free patterns and videos!

  • @MG-sy8pj

  • @connieking9873
    @connieking9873 3 года назад

    When I am working in a block like this I have used a bag dumped all the squares in and shake up to get a good mix then reach in and pull out and start chaining. Worked every time. Do very little moving around.

  • @willowhilldesigns7
    @willowhilldesigns7 3 года назад

    I pin at intersections for sure. What a fun quilt! It might be interesting to use 3 different mini charm packs with similar colors, along with the one matching the layer cake, to get a more scrappy look!
