- Do you have scraps piling up in your sewing room? Ive changed the way I work with my scraps to create an ever evolving series of projects. Right now, I'm working on the first version--and Irish Chain quilt using my favorite solid color and all the scraps from my recent quilts. Come along with me while I cut the fabric, sew some blocks, and talk about the project.

I am so happy to see you and this new video. I have missed you terribly and hoped that we would see you again. You are the very first RUclips quilter that I followed. I have learned so much from you and often rewatch your older videos. I have made several of your quilts. Hope to see you again soon but regardless I will be patiently waiting.
I have never understood quilters who race thru quilt after quilt. I am 70 yrs young and just started quilting a few years ago. I have a bucket list, but want to just enjoy the process. Your thots are a help. I enjoy your videos so much!
Please come back soon.... You truly are a joy to learn from...
OMG! You're back. This notification made my morning 🌄 ❤. Thanks for the great tip on scraps. I hope you and your family are well.
Neat idea. Quilting is even more fun without counting.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I love scrap quilts. It was there purpose of the craft, after all! Grateful for the friends I have that make scraps!
What a super idea to put an x through each finished block. Love that. Thank you, I can obviously use this on every project using my Fusion pen that can be ironed away.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I somehow missed this video. I'm going to start one of these tonight. Love all your tips/tricks. Could we see your finished quilt? I have missed seeing you. Hope all is well with you and your family. Thank you!!
This is a great leaders and enders project! Thanks Megan!
I hope things are going well for you Megan and that you will return whenever it feels right for you. I miss you. No one like you :)
Hi Beautiful! This makes me want to go cut some little squares and get started. Thanks.
So happy to see you back online! I always enjoy your videos and your pleasant, informative personality.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I’m so glad you’ve posted another video! I love your tutorials. Hope you are well.
Love your way of scrap quilts. You have a great attitude with this new video. Beautiful quilts don’t have to be stressful
Love it!!!
2023 goals…. Decrease my scraps!!!
Thank you for the layout!!!! Set for success!
I was struck by how clearly/coherently you speak of why/what you are doing. This would make a very inspiring book topic. I'm not trying to push you back into projects as much as wishing you would document your journey. Then in a few years put out a book about finding your way to the happy place you've found with this quilt/process. I believe it would help many people to be happier with their quilting. Tks again for your creativity.
Megan, I am soooo happy to see you back. You look rested and happier. I'm glad you found your joy. Great video AGAIN. I hope you and your family have a terrific holiday. Keep smiling.
Great seeing how you have actually cut all your tiny pieces 😃 That’s going to make it so much easier 👍👍 and using the squares as leaders and enders would also help the production line 🤣🤣 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you. I enjoy the Irish Chain pattern. My first quilt (still a work in progress) is Irish Chain . I think I will full investigates this pattern, I however have 2.5 scrap blocks. Will have to do quilt math. Happy Holidays. So happy to see you back.
I hope all is well with you and your family. (I'm just popping into channels on RUclips that I follow but have not seen anything from in a while.)
This is fabulous. I love long term patchwork using tiny scraps as its the patchwork I enjoy, rather than the quilting. I think a lot of teachers demonstrate quick quilts as being desirable. It is nice for a beginner to have a finished product quickly, but to me patchwork is like gardening, it takes time to sew a seed and help it grow until it finally flowers. So if you want something quick, make a little throw or cot quilt. They are just as satisfying.
I love your videos Megan! I hope to continue finding you😊
I love how you added the diagonal block.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video & sharing the pattern. I like your thought process.
So pleased to find you have made a new video; you are one of a small group of truly engaging digital content creators whatever the genre. Many people make videos but only a few can inspire and transform engagement into action.
I love your videos! This one reminded me of something I thought i would share with you. When I started quilting about 40 years ago, I asked the woman who was teaching me - "how do you know what fabric to buy exactly?" Her response stuck with me and has served me well - she said, "there is only one rule to follow - make sure you really really really love it because you will be looking at it for a very long time." 😀
Lovely to see you Megan. Thank you for sharing your process. 😊
Wow! Great info from start to finish! I've been making tiny blocks with 2 inch squares, all solid batiks, so many beautiful colors. I have (had)- no idea what to do after I make a zillion 4 piece blocks, but now, after this video, my brain is functioning and I know what to do next! I'm going to get my background color (some kind of printed purple, green, or royal blue batik) and start making actual quilt blocks! So many great ideas you just gave me, thank you!!!
It’s so good to see you… I’ve missed your cherry videos so much I went as far back as I could to see them from the beginning 😀hope you can make some more soon… thanks for the idea… I have a bunch of 2.5 squares that I will use to do this project with… it’ll be a bit larger but I think it’ll work. Take care
Me too.
Hi Megan, I actually did not watch this video but I just sent you an email thanking you for your efforts and I just found your site on RUclips and your blog this evening. I have never done a super thinks or given money but somehow you spoke to me more than others and that's no fault of anybody it's just how it is anyway I figured out how easy it is to give a $5 'super thanks'
Honestly I have not even watch this video, as I am focused on just trying to organize my space-
Take care 🐦
Thank you for sharing! I love 'the pickle' color...such a unique color to add to all the colors of the scraps. It is going to be a really cute quilt!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
THANK YOU for this video ❤. I just wanted generic quilt ideas for my 2.5 inch mini charms I like to collect and the quilt layouts were so helpful… now I need some of these rulers too 😂
These are great to do as leaders and enders while working on other projects, too. Working on two quilts at once, essentially.
So good to see you again.
I love your videos! I’ve been missing your video, and I’m so glad I found this one today!! Yay! Please make more videos! I learn so much❤
Thanks you! Love seeing you, your projects and colors.
Absolutely love this idea. Fun. Fun. Fun. ❤
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Awesome!!
I. Love. Scrappy🎉💗
Praying over you and your sweet family during this precious Christmas Season. Thank you for sharing your love of quilting with us. You are just wonderful 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
What a beautiful video. You're a joy to watch, and your love for your craft and your journey are inspiring.
TY... your new vision has a lot to do with those of us that are getting along and feeling the need to sew faster. I do NOT want to leave all this fabric behind to end up in the wasteland of "baby boomer" stuff...LOL I have all my scraps cut in either 2.5 or 5" squares... right now the favortie is "charms on point" by MSQC.. i love monochromatic... pick a color and use all i have...can't wait to see what else you come up with... Hugs, GB
That’s so thoughtful of you Barbara, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
Stripology squared ruler came out when I started quilting, lucky timing for me, I love that ruler! I use the other side of the smaller mat because it doesn’t have any lines to distract me. Scrappy looking quilts are my favourite!
Yes! I have these Stripology rulers if a few sizes along with my trusty Accuquilt machines. And I, too turn my mats over to the non-ruled sides - I. The old school I was told that the lines aren’t accurate - so I measured one day several months ago! Found out that, yes, they are actually every accurate - at least me lovely green Olfa mats are!! But I still use rulers!!! Thanks so much for all your info - we are in our way back home to NC from CO visiting out family so I’m stuck in the car with my iPad and EarPods😄😄. Cutting is in my schedule when I get back home!!!!!
Great to have another video from you!! Great project!
Megan Good to see you back. I love the idea of a continuous scrap quilt. I rewatched all your videos in your absence. Needed your calm straight forward approach to tackle several things I had never tried before. Thanks for the library!
Very inspiring! Thank you
So lovely to see another video from you, and you are back full of enthusiasm with a wonderful idea for a gorgeous quilt 🤩 Thank you 👏👏🇬🇧
Hurrah! You're back. We've missed you. Love your quilts, your methods, and your creativity.
This was great. Thks!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
this is a VERY GOOD IDEA with the stripology rulers, I have all three of them and LOVE THEM. I use them the same way you are in this video....great job
I absolutely love making scrap quilts. Also to be honest if I don’t feel passionate about a quilt I don’t make it. I love every minute of my sewing/quilting time.
You've been missed 😉 So happy to see you again. I pray all is well with your soul, that you're happy, healthy, and ready to make many more beautiful creations. Thank you for your generosity in giving so many great tutorials and brilliant ideas!
I’m so glad you’re back I have been missing your wonderful tutorials 1:54
Love your flosstube.scrappy quilts are a favorite 🌲🌲🌲⭐️⭐️
missing you 😊
Hay Megan! You look rested & refreshed. Merry Christmas!
This is a totally perfect idea for a "color of the year" quilt with COTY as the background! Thank you!!
Love love love your ideas and process here
Hi Megan, I just want to encourage you by letting you know that you’re my favorite quilting teacher. I hope you and your family are doing well!
I am one of those quilters who really enjoys the road but not the finjshing😮😄. Therefore I have lots of various things just waiting - waiting till ???😄😄😄. Maybe this year will be one to actually get to the end (but, strangely I really enjoy the hand stitching of the binding!! Quirky!!!)
Glad to see you back.
Love this project. After looking at my scraps I am going to use white as my main color. I also plan to use 2 1/2" squares since I have a lot of them already cut out and ready to go. Thank you!
Since I have just become interested in scrap quilting I am very interested in your organizational ideas. I like the stripology rulers since my hands are fragile.
So happy to see you!
So smart! Thank you for this!
I have the XL STripology ruler. It is one of my greatest time saving/accuracy improving tools that I have. I use it all the time for cutting yardage and making subcuts. I can see where the smaller ruler offerings are have more alacrity for working with smaller pieces. Thanks for demonstrating. Happy New Year!
Thank you Megan for demonstrating your happy scrappy quilt blocks. Your quilt is going to be a WINNER!
Great tip to use a smaller mat atop the big mat and rotate with the Stripology ruler!!!! Thank you, Megan. ❤
This patchwork makes me happy! Sometimes you have to use everything but the kitchen sink. I love your channel and the happy colors you sew with. I have happy scrappy patchwork planned for the gloomy winter, so I have some bright quilt tops to work on in the early spring before color appears again. You are a great teacher. Be well.
Greetings! I'm so glad you are feeling better about quilting. I have a huge amount of strips and scraps. I love the Villa Rosa patterns and just finished a scrappy Mazed top. I have a win-win situation where I can make any pattern, send the top to ND, and a friend finishes them and they are sent to either Mexico or Africa. So my tops are the same as yours. So many friends give me their scraps, whether large or small. I also make hundreds of dog/cat beds for the shelters. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season.
I'd love to know what sizes are ideal fir dog 🐕 beds 🛌 please, it's another passion project for me.
@@AnitaSouthall dog beds at shelters here are usually 18x24. But I let the fabric dictate to me. I usually use drapery or heavier fabric.
I missed you…wishing you and your love ones peace and joy!!!
This is a great video! I've heard you say in other videos that Kona pickle is your favorite. I am now totally convinced!
Love to see you back i have missed You Megan! I am at the same stage as you have everything when it comes to scraps. Thank you so much 😊 season greetings from Sweden 🎄
So glad to see you back. I really enjoy your videos. Always learn something.
I’ve always wanted to make an Irish chain but I’m not a very accurate quilter. But this pattern seems very doable for me so thank you very much!!!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I really like your idea of how these fabric scraps help to document your quilt journey and make the quilt uniquely yours. And your explanation on the use of the printed pattern to keep track of the blocks as you make them is brilliant! I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you.
I love the idea of an ongoing project to sew as an inspiration, when you have a few minutes or as a memory quilt of past quilts. Thanks for sharing
Happy to see you back again! Nice project
Great idea and tutorial. I love that it could be completed little by little! ❤
Megan! So good to see a new video. I love this plan for a scrap quilt. I have lots of small scraps that will work great with this idea. Thank you - and looking forward to seeing you more often.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Super fun project and a gorgeous quilt!! It’s really nice to *revisit* all the pretty fabric! 💝🧵🪡✂️
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Sounds like you have your process. 2" squares is just a little fiddly for me, but you do you. I have always liked an Irish Chain pattern and haven't yet made a quilt with this pattern. Thanks for sharing and glad to have you back!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
So happy to see you, Megan. Great project, as always. Best wishes for a smooth end to the current year and to joy and time to focus on what makes YOU happy in the next! 🧡
I made this quilt and I love it! Thank you for this tutorial.
Thanks Megan - I hope all is well with you. Your ideas and tips are always refreshing and inspiring. I love scrap projects. I will start using your tip about a spritz of starch on seams to keep them flat ... great idea!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Hey Kiddo, happy to see you back in your happy place. I recently got back to quilting too. Take care and thank you for this promising project.
So good to see you! You were my first quilting mentor and it's wonderful to hear your lovely kind voice again. Be well!💓
I absolutely love your thinking on this one. Thank you for the ideas and encouragement. Scrappy is my favourite and small pieces especially. I cannot wait to put this plan into action. Thank you so much. Happy holidays.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Love your approach. Makes me want to go work on my scrap quilt. Thank you
This is so interesting. I can’t wait to see this quilt complete…and what a great idea to sew in a non-rushed fashion.
Great ideas for not feeling overwhelmed with making a truly scrappy quilt. Thanks for sharing your time and talents :)
Love love love this idea! Love the “pickle” color too!
When are you coming back to us? I miss your quilt tutorials. Hurry back, please!
So good to see you once again. I love this idea as it seems I ALWAYS have lots of scraps! My favorite quilts are scrappy ones! Thank you so much!!!
I’m so glad to see you . I been following you for many years .Happy Holidays. Greetings from Switzerland
totally trying this- i love it!!
Thanks for the ideas! I recently started doing some blocks with my ton of scraps, but mine is done is four patches of 2.5" squares, with 4 of those sewn together to make a 16 patch. I have no idea how many I will need for a quilt yet! 😊
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Grabbed the pattern and thanks for the inspiration to get my new year kick started
Hmmm. I believe I am going to have to follow suit here. I have been trying to figure out what I can have ‘just ready for me’ when I don’t want to do anything larger or commit more time! Thank you for this and lovely to see you again. 👍
hi. just wanted to say that i enjoy your videos and the tips are very helpful . hope to see more videos online soon.
I’ll echo everyone else - it’s so lovely to see you back !! Wishing you a good Christmas and a happy 2023
Thank you for your helpful videos. Take care

Thank you, I Love tiny scrap blocks, I have a huge glass jar I’m filling up with 1 1/2 inch squares. Think I’ll start putting them together using your method.
