  • Sixth project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! Moda Fabrics had this great pattern to use with a Jelly Roll available for shop owners to share with their customers. Any pattern that works with a Jelly Roll will also work with leftover 2 1/2 inch strips! I made two samples for you to see in this video. A lap sized version using my Halloween strips, and a full sized version using a variety of Christmas prints. For the Christmas version, I added a 4" border between the outer rows of blocks to give the eye somewhere to rest and add to the size without making more blocks. The Moda website has a great variety of wonderful patterns that you can download and print at home, make sure to check out the FREE PATTERNS section of their website!
    modafabrics.com/inspiration-r...
    Here is a link to the Smoothie Time pattern I show in the video: drive.google.com/file/d/1X81O...
    Here is a link to our video series playlist featuring Projects using 2 1/2 inch strips: • Projects using 2 1/2" ...
    Stay to the end to see the bonus projects I made using the leftovers from the quilts!
    There is also an update on the scrap bucket situation and how that is looking!
    I've challenged myself to do a new project each month using only 2 1/2 inch strips from my scrap buckets. I have always saved leftover strips from projects and cut up small leftover fabric from yardage into 2 1/2 inch strips and put them in a bucket for some "future" project . The future is now! It is time to tame the scrap bucket and use up these strips. I'll always have a scrap bucket of strips because I'm constantly adding to it but I want to get it down to just ONE bucket instead of three...make that seven after the "GREAT SORTING"! This series will last until I'm down to one bucket. Let's be honest, it will take at least 2 years to use up enough strips to make a difference! So join me on this project adventure to use up fabric scraps!

    I absolutely love this series! Not only is it scrappy quilting which is my favorite, but the patterns are simple and relatively quick and easy sewing! I will be sad if the strip buckets ever become empty. 😂

    I love scrap quilts, especially when the scraps are from prior projects. Sewing is a nice walk down memory lane, at least when I remember the projects previously made. Plus, I don’t feel any pressure to sew perfect. Good enough is good enough. And the end results are always great!!! Thanks for sharing a scrappy quilt passion.

    I am loving your strip series. I love seeing someone working with their own scrap pile and not just precut sets of strips or squares that already match. I have lots of scraps to use up before I allow myself to buy any more fabric. I also like that you are working with pins; I was starting to feel like I was the only person who still sewed with pins rather than clips.

These days, I am down to 3 models, my bernina, a juki tl-2010q, and a babylock destiny. I am starting from the back, lol. Thanks for the memories.

    I took up pieceing and quilting after 40 years about 3 or 4 years ago. The internet and creators like you have been truly inspiring; but, one thing I figured out is that I really didn't want to have buckets and buckets of "spare parts!" So, I have been pretty careful about patterns that use up as much of the fabric as possible. Evenso, I still have lots of stuff left over, so am looking forward to implementing your great ideas for using it all up! Thanks for great content!
