Me, too!

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.

I cannot thank you enough Kim for all the free, easy patterns you give us!!! I’m excited because this is a pattern I can use for any fabric that is sold as a precut!

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

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

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.

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.

@@robertaarrowsmith2860 I'm with you on the cutting!! I did a project from Gudrun Erla's KZread 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 :)

Thank you for another great tutorial and free pattern Kimberly and FQS. I’m definitely Team Pinning. I’m always amazed when quilters are able to get such perfect intersections without pinning. But it’s pinning for me! See you next time.

Kimberly your awesome 🤩 beautiful 😍 quilt.

I'm Team Pinner! I get better results when I pin! Love the gingham-y look to this quilt! Thank you! 🥰

Nice demo for using Mini charm packs!

Great tip moving ruler up, not to side!

Since watching you I’m team pin it really makes a difference!

And that inch and a half strip will make lots of fun stuff too. :D

I used to not pin, but after watching your tutorials I now pin and I have noticed a lot better results. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this. It was my first time watching you

I am a pinner! I love seeing a tutorial on Tuesday!! Thank you so much!!

Kimberly, I love the way you teach. You always give us such great tips that new quilters, like me, would not think about. Thank you!

Debbie, are you from Australia? I had a Friend from Australia when we lived in Kuwait but I've lost her and have been looking for several years. ❤💕🇺🇸

Very easy and beautiful! Thanks!

Very cute, easy pattern. I pin more than I used to. I guess I’ve gotten more into quality than quantity. Being careful matching makes such a difference.

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.

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" .

Such a cute, quick pattern! I'm a non-pinner 95% of the time, sometimes I'll pin borders but that's about it. Thx FQS team for all you do ! 💖

CUTE Quilt, Kimberly. Love your way of sewing the squares together.

I am team pinning because of you Kimberly.

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!

Not a pinner most to the time. Love the quilt!! Thanks for sharing.

I am not a pinner. Great job today. Thiz is the most relaxed I have ever seen you! Thanks for all you do.

I pin now, but I used to not. My prices are much nicer now that I do pin. I was a skeptic, but I’m a believer now! Thanks Kimberley. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

And just when I thought I could get my projects under control! Going to add this to my list. I'm part of team pinning!

I’m team, no pinning. Very cute quilt and fun tutorial.👍🏻

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.

you can tie those strips on a wreath form for decoration.

! Great Idea

I really appreciate that you showed so many steps - like how you sort and choose your A/B groups of fabrics from a layer cake. Every suggestion of how others do things is nice to know!

I am team pinning. I have much better blocks when I pin. You tutorials have taught me so much. Thank you so much.

the scraps are great for stuffing stuffed animals, dog toys, dog beds, pin cushions or pillows!

Thanks Kimberly ❤️

Love the fabric! Love the pattern! Pin all the way!!

Definitely Team Pinner

Your trick for organizing and chain piecing the mini charms into a larger block is so clever!

I am a pinner! And I've learned a few tricks from you about it, so thanks Kimberly!

I'm a non-pinner. Plus I fingerpress as I go. Nice pattern.

Love this pattern, Kim - thanks so much!

Thank you so much for being so generous and offering free patterns. This is so cute and looks super easy. Hahahaha, sometimes I pin and sometimes I don't.

I like to pin, I think of pins as handlebars and I’m driving home with perfection!

Thanks for the free patterns!

I love this one! Thanks for giving us so many wonderful free patterns and tutorials! FQS is the best ❤️

Such a lovely quilt. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for showing this method of organizing the block and chain piecing! I am just teaching myself to piece by machine. Years ago when I learned hand piecing I was taught to look at blocks in horizontal rows. I am interested in making doll and mini quilts. Your methods will translate very well in my journey. Thank you again!

Thank you for the very cute free pattern and especially for the tutorial! So generous! Love FQS! I am on Team Pin! Rah! Rah! Rah!

I am on Team pin! 😃 Thanks, Kimberly! I can’t wait to make this quilt!

Can’t wait to try this one.

Thank you for these tutorials. I have learned to cut accurately now and solved my past headaches.

Huge Thank you to you and your team! I'm learning so much. I got clappers and now I can't imagine not having them. I tried triangle paper... I'm stuck. Be safe and keep sharing and teaching ❤❤❤❤

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

I generally do not pin and if I do, not as much as Kimberly does! I appreciate her accuracy and I always learn something! Thanks!

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.

Very nice! I just got 2 big orders form you where I ordered lots of mini charm packs in similar colour values as I just wanted a little sample of the fabric lines, but I had no plan. Now I have a plan:) Thank you! I am Team Pin!

That pin holder would be a great sew sampler gift. Just saying hee hee

Team Pin always! Thank you for the tips on chain piecing. I've been using it more and more.

I didn't pin, however I now pin. I see the excellent results that you got. Thank you for all you do

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!

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!

@shellyrichards7455

Whenever I use a layer cake, charm pack, Kelly roll, etc. I always add in at least 1, but usually several coordinating fabrics from different lines for a scrappier look.

I love this pattern. The colors are beautiful and this could easily be given as a Christmas gift to someone you love.

Can’t wait to make this quilt!

I could never pin as much as you do 📍. Cute quilt. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

So cute! I’m mostly no pin but on occasion I revert back to the way I was taught and pin. Thank you!

Love the chain piecing tip.

Small scraps put out in basket for birds to use in nest building. Also fill suet feeders with scraps and hang in tree. Watch the birds gather scraps for nesting.

It depends on what I am doing, but I do pin quite a bit! Especially when I am joining the rows together for making my tops. This is gorgeous in the Christmas colors, but I definitely see it scrappy! 💜 Thanks for sharing, and happy quilting! 🧵💜

I love this pattern!!! Thank You!!!

I pin all my seams. Also, I press my blocks and trim if necessary. I love this quilt pattern. I thank you for all the beautiful free patterns and tutorials. As I am on SS my funds are limited for necessities . I have loads of fabric to use. I edited this message. 👍😊💕

I am team pinning! Works the best for me. Thanks for another free pattern with a great tutorial. Blessings and take care.

I go through phases. Currently I am a pinner! Cute quilt!

Those scraps good for string blocks.i use down to 3/4".

I love your tutorials Kimberly. Thank you for the great way you present and make so easy to understand...you are awesome.

Team Pinny!!

Thank you so much for the tutorial, I started making this in March and completed it in August, it was all hand sewn and hand quilted. It's a great pattern and super starter for a beginner like me.

I really like the finished product. It is so cute in that Christmas fabric! Thanks for the great video,

Team PIN all the way, thanks for this tutorial

Thank you for this pattern and tutorial. Started mine today.

Awesome thanks for sharing

Sew cute! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

It's a really sweet quilt. I love the gingham look. And yes, our sewing rooms should be as cute as possible. It's very inspiring that way. Thank you for the toot.

Thanks! 👌💖😇

Que lindo todo y que trabajo que haces más bonito te veo siempre 😍

Great tutorial & thanks for the free pattern.. have several layer cakes & mini charms to choose from! Sometimes I pin & sometimes I don't... depends on what I am sewing! ❤️

I always pin I find I’m more accurate when I do so. Good video thank you

Fabric & Pattern are so cute! Team Pin and Team Glue.

❤️❤️Thanks for another great tutorial FQS! This year I made scrappy gift wrapping ribbon by tying all my long thin scraps together.

You could also use those leftover strips to make those fabric balls you demonstrated in your video last week!

I am team non-pinning on small piecing! This looks like a fun pattern to work on as a leader and ender!

Such a cute project! And team pinner.🙂

Love this!

I love watching your videos!!!!

You can make fabric tassels with scrap strips.

Team pin!❤️ love this pattern!👍🏻

Love this quilt, thank you for great instructions! Hey those scrapes can be used to make dog beds or for a rug down the road. ❤️

I too save my tiny scraps (batting too) for stuffing dog/cat beds & use the ones big enough for crumb blocks. Have made 2 big quilts this year just from crumbs! Sew fun to use throw away scraps & do something useful! I would have used Kimberly's scraps for my crumbs!

Loved this tutorial thanks 👍👏🥰🌷

Thank you for all your tutorials, they are very helpful and you make everything look so easy

I pin lightly when there are a lot of intersections. When I have pinked precuts, I measure them 1st to see if they were cut to measure peak to peak or valley to valley. Seems there is no standard. Saves trimming and frustration.

I use very few pins. I “sew and hope”! 😉

Cute quilt! Thank you!
