Scrappy is one thing, but the color combo is what truly makes this quilt work! Definitely something to keep in mind in my future! Colors don't need to match, but they do need to harmonize to create your wonderful effect! Thank you!!! 🤗
I enjoyed watching you do that jelly roll strip quilt!! I never done one but I will now because it goes together so quickly!! Thanks so much for sharing your sewing with us ❤
I wish my bucket count was down by 1. Working my way through the bags of strings. Thanks for the very clear tutorial. My flannels are going to get cut up next.
Great work....i love that you back stitch every 12 inches or so on the binding, so if the thread ever breaks....great idea and i will definitely will do this on my next binding....And the spool idea....thanks for sharing with us.
Wow. I didn't think I was going to like the quilt with that fabric but it turned out beautifully. That black border really set it off. I love it. Perfect fall quilt.
Thank you Shelley for another great scrappy quilt pattern. I am loving this series. Thanks to your inspiration, my bucket is also less. Looking forward to next month's pattern. I am also sewing your basket BOM 10 inch size. Keep up the good work!
After seeing at least 4 videos of different quilter's versions of this 2.5" strip quilt, I decided to go for it on my own. I only had leftover strips from other projects and a lot of strips. So for my first quilt, I pulled out all the strips that had pink in them. I didn't want clumps of the same colors in the quilt, so I divided them by dark, medium, and light colors. I then sewed them together after joining them all with straight seams instead of diagonal. It turned out to be a nice large lap quilt. I still had a huge bunch of strips left. I divided them into dark, medium and light as well. I also cut the 40"+ strips into half to have more variety within the quilt especially since these weren't curated into a jelly roll. I ended up with two tops that are at least 6' long - I had my husband or son hold them up so I could photograph them. As they were both 6'2" tall and the top covered them from floor to top of their heads I knew they would be big enough for them. At this point I was pretty much done with most of my 2.5" strips except for some that would have taken over the quilt top as there was so much of them. I have not put on a border or quilted them yet. But it was fun and relaxing to just sew without having to think much about it. Then I opened up my 2" strips and sorted them from whole width of fabric from partial strips. I am cutting the whole strips in half and keeping the other strips at 20" so I will have a good mix of the colors and strip sizes. By my mental calculations, I think I will get at least two tops from them. I want to give these quilts to my sons, DIL, Hubby as well as me for Christmas presents. I have chronic health problems and I think this is probably the last chance for me to do a mass sewing project like this. I am having fun as well as thinking up ways to make this easier, use up fabric so I can get into my new fabric that has been waiting a long time to see the light of day. I love making scrap quilts but I have never felt that just because a quilt is a scrap quilt that it should be just a hodge podge of fabric. I like to see if I can make it look as if I had thought about fabric placement. This is such an interesting project with different ways to make it. Each top I made, I changed what I was doing a bit. Thanks for the video.
I LOVE this series!! I decided last year that I would cut all of my left over fabric into 2 1/2 in strips instead of having a bunch of different sizes. This series is going to help me soooo much!! 👏🏻👏🏻
P.S. the black border and binding IS PERFECT! Wow. I have a quilt in progress similar to this quilt; now I know how to finish it off. Beautiful Quilt 😍
Very impressive the way you had your strips on the spool and positioned under your sewing machine table. Very impressive for sure. Your quilt ended very nice. Thanks for sharing.👍❤️😊
I think it is really fantastic, using up your strips like that is so economical and you dont really have a picture in your mind how its going to look until its finished, which makes it a surprise in a way. Thanks for showing us, I appreciated it !!
Love your videos! It was so relaxing to watch you sew. I will admit I was a little doubtful about your finished quilt in the middle of the process, but the black fabric and piano key border really elevated the pattern and the final quilt looks very nice! So many great tips and versatility for using up 2.5" strips. Thank you!
20:37 -- Back stitching when you move your right hand is a brilliant way to further secure the binding as the quilt ages and the stitches get more wear. 🎉
I love both versions. OMG! Using up 1/2 used bobbins is a great idea and the giant spool to rolling the strips on, fantastic. I noticed you use enders and leaders, too. The black band and binding was a Great touch. I’ll be definitely checking out your previous quilts and waiting for the next ones. Thanks! I have fabric that was gifted me that I’ve never know what to do with. Now, I have and idea. I’m excited.
I love how to make it so easy to use up stripes! I really couldn’t decide what to do with all of mine. Now I am ready to reduce my piles and have fun! Thank you 😊
Strip scrap is the way I'm going to go. I have so much also of extra fabric. And I never would have thought of this. I used my extra making yard flags with pieces cut to make scenaries. With grass, flowers, fences, and trees. All different color pieces, and did it with my great granddaughter, who was 4 years old.
Genius! I had never before wanted to make a jellyroll quilt -- partly because I never buy jellyrolls -- but mostly because I was sure that things would get horribly tangled. But this is an amazing way to avoid this problem. You also had other good tips and tricks. So now I definitely see a quilt like this in my future.
Great tip on the binding. I love the black strips on the sides and piano key borders. Adds a lot of interest to an otherwise kinda boring quilt! Def gonna add those to my next one.
Can’t deal with wrinkled chaos! I could never store fabrics in this manner… I do love how you rolled your pressed strips.. I would have started the roll with a few and gradually added all along the way…
Scrappy is one thing, but the color combo is what truly makes this quilt work! Definitely something to keep in mind in my future! Colors don't need to match, but they do need to harmonize to create your wonderful effect! Thank you!!! 🤗
The consummate ironer in me wanted to press your crinkled strips the whole time lol.
🤣
I enjoyed watching you do that jelly roll strip quilt!! I never done one but I will now because it goes together so quickly!! Thanks so much for sharing your sewing with us ❤
Agree!
And I wanted to cut off all those threads.
Same here!! How does a block come out straight if not ironed first?
The spool hanging idea was nothing short of brilliant
The dowel idea is brilliant!
Ok. I picked up no less than 3 great tips from this video … and I’ve been quilting a while! Thank you!
I've seen this pattern done a few times before, but I've got a cold and I'm just enjoying watching you sew while I'm curled up in bed with tea.
I love this the colors were so soothing
That blade saver is magic
I loves scrap quilts love this series
I love everything about this! Best scrappy "jelly roll" piecing method EVER!
Wow, thank you!
This series is amazing! I can’t wait to do each one of them!
You gave a wonderful tutorial... and i am very happy to learn how to make use of the empty spool! Thank you and God bless
Thank you for the great idea of putting the strips onto spools! What a timesaver and certainly found it helpful in a small space sewing room!!
Your videos are very helpful and inspiring. Thank you ❤
Very nice ! From rags to riches. 👍👍😊
I wish my bucket count was down by 1. Working my way through the bags of strings. Thanks for the very clear tutorial. My flannels are going to get cut up next.
What a wonderful tutorial! I’m drowning in scraps so thank you so much for sharing 😊
Rolling on the spool was very smart!!👍
strip scraps…love scrappy quilts
This is an absolute favorite!! ❤
I have been quilting for decades, and I am always grateful to learn new tips and techniques. Many thanks. ❤
Great work....i love that you back stitch every 12 inches or so on the binding, so if the thread ever breaks....great idea and i will definitely will do this on my next binding....And the spool idea....thanks for sharing with us.
I will, too!
same!
I love those colors, and the organic look of the homemade jelly roll with its different length original strips! It turned out so beautifully!
Wow. I didn't think I was going to like the quilt with that fabric but it turned out beautifully. That black border really set it off. I love it. Perfect fall quilt.
That is beautiful! As a new quilter, I have that pattern to look forward to, lol!
I'm definitely not a neutrals/browns person, but surely appreciate them once in a project!

Спасибо, за то что показываете, учите.
Благословение вам и вашему дому.
This is a great idea! I will try this with strips that my friend gave me. I love using my scraps.
Can’t deal with wrinkled chaos! I could never store fabrics in this manner…
I do love how you rolled your pressed strips.. I would have started the roll with a few and gradually added all along the way…
I love this. The colors are so cozy.
