    For all who don't care for music, remember you do have a mute button on your phone and a closed caption button on the tutorial. Please consider this sweet lady's efforts in providing an excellent tutorial and use options available to you to customize to your liking. I don't want her to be discouraged by negativity and stop making these videos. I learn so much from her!

    It’s like magic! You began with leftover strips, sewed them randomly together, made them into half square triangles, sewed them into rows, and finished with a lovely quilt top. All from leftover strips!
    Now that’s what I would call excellent fabric management. Well done!

But after a few minutes, your voice, the strips being sewn together, and the light background music just lulled me right to sleep. 😴😴😴 Sweet dreams! So, tonight I watched it on my desktop, and thoroughly enjoyed the WHOLE thing! Thanks for the very nice video. I really like your style of videos, where you do the narration over the video, with just light music in the background. And I like how your explanations are clear and concise, and the videos are so well edited, there is not a lot of extra chatting, interruptions, or hemming and hawing. Very well done videos! 🤩

    Such a great use of scrap strips! A quick tip I use to make sewing rows together is: get that top seam to point up & the bottom one down to nest them that first set of rows, so much easier! Hope that helps someone out there in RUclips land 😎.

    I have to tell you, I made these blocks. And, like the OCD person I am, I laid them out, in pinwheel fashion, and set them in a way I thought I would like. Then I had the OCDness to label each row and column! Feeling rather frustrated from the blocks falling off my makeshift design wall (aka “tablecloth”), I went back and watched this video again. Game changer!!! You said just to pull whatever and not think it too much. I have to tell you what I wound up with was something so much better than what I had before, and my mind was rested! I also used your tip for sewing and pressing the rows. That went so fast!

I ''ve made several scrappy quilts. Thanks so much for your inspiration ! Why store my scraps?? Now I have several lovely quilt tops from my scraps.

    Since I have stitched many of these 3 in 1 strip sets, I prefer to not cut them apart until both side of the center line are sewn. Then, I cut them apart. Oh, it may save 2 minutes, but I don't have to pick up & position another square set every time. This pre ents th I se extra shoulder/arm movements & my eyes get tired at 70+ years young.
    Beautiful colors and quiet background chosen! Don't forget to label the finished quilted piece!
