Simple 16 inch block quilt using only 2 1/2 inch STRIPS! 7th in our series to use leftover strips!
Seventh project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! This block was originally used in our Block of the Month 2022 - December Block
Here is a link to the original version of this block:
• BLOCK #12 for our 2022...
Here is a link to our video series playlist featuring Projects using 2 1/2 inch strips: • Projects using 2 1/2" ...
Yes, my voice is a little off, I've been trying to get over a pretty bad cold!
Stay to the end to see finished quilt which includes the pieced backing!
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!

Love this. As a very senior citizen, I only have one comment. I get up and down from sewing machine to ironing board frequently and that is deliberate. It's good exercise! Bagging all pieces for one block keeps you organized AND speeds up the process. Having one finished block spurs you on to make the next one, especially since they'll all be unique. Thanks!

I do the same for the exercise. It can be tiring sometimes, but I value the leg work so as to keep me from getting stiff.

That’s exactly why I don’t put an ironing station beside my machine. It forces me to walk across the room. Too much sitting isn’t good for anyone and I do enough of that working full time. ❤
I just love this serie,,,,,, Thank you for all your good ideas.

I was skeptical at first with all the different colored blocks--but the finished quilt was awesome!!
I started watching this channel because of this series. Then I found your monthly UFO challenge and BOM Baskets. Love them all. Thanks so much for your creativity and variety. Looking forward to more fun to come.

I think you are doing fantastic
Another layout would be divide quilt into quadrants and spin each quadrant a quarter turn ❤
I have enjoyed all of the videos for scraps. Thanks for your help using up my scrap hamper!

Great quilt 👍 And lots more scraps used up 🎉 Thanks for sharing this lovely block with us 👏👏🇬🇧
This is an awesome series! I look forward to it every month, and now I am cutting my leftovers into 2 1/2 inch strips after every project. Thank you.
So pretty lovely quilt
Love your series. I think this pattern is my favorite so far! Thank you for showing 3 different options! I have to admit that I keep expecting you to show us your empty bins. Some day‼️😉
I'm not a quilter but I really enjoy watching you create your blocks and turn them into beautiful quilts. Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate that you, as an instructor, practice safe cutting methods and don’t cut towards your self or other ways that could cause injury or mess up your cutting. Thanks for all your videos.
I love this series! I am thinking this might look good with my Christmas scraps...
You do a great job explaining what you are doing. It makes it easier to follow. Love this!

This has been a GREAT series… the thing about scraps is they keep appearing, lot of opportunities to make all the quilts you have so generously given us, Merry Christmas!
Beautiful ❤
Like your presentation
I really like this block.
Great use of scraps 😊
It turned out beautifully! I love the use of so many different blocks. At first I thought Oh No! but the final combination was beautiful. The purple.
Excellent! Love this settling
Love this block and oh, the way your back turned out with the large border around it is very striking. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful scrap projects. My goal for 2024 is to use up a lot of my scraps.

Another great tutorial! Thank you so much for this series. After reading through the comments, I’d say I’m not the only one with a scrap problem😂. I look forward to your next tutorial.
That’s such a great quilt! Beautiful
I'm loving this series. I don't quilt, but I sew boomerang bags and some clothes. I have half a pillowcase of scraps that I have been cutting into strips - inspired by your series. I binge-watched the previous 6 videos of this series a couple of weeks ago and I can't wait to see what you do next month. I love seeing how much your scraps reduce after each quilt you make. Your videos are very satisfying to watch and make me wish I had more scraps - even though I'm still trimming mine to usable sizes. Thank you for inspiring me!
Awesome quilting❤❤❤
I’ve enjoyed everything in this series ! Great ideas and execution!! Thank you!!
Love the idea of using my extra 2.5 inch strips. Thanks!
I love your series of scrap busting quilt designs and instructions. 2 down 8 more to go.
I like your sewing tips.
I'm loving the series🥰
Another winner! I am definitely a scrappy girl and this one ticked all the boxes.
Very beautiful. Like all prints used. Sandra B.❤
I love your videos. You always have patterns I will actually make and this is my favorite of all your jellyroll patterns, although they are all beautiful.
I really like your videos for 2.5 inch strips!
I love the way you take the strips and put them in such a unique pattern.
Awesome pattern 🎉
that came out way cute, I love the pattern the blocks made. Im really enjoying this series.
I think you just made my favorite scrappy quilt from this series. ❤ This is a great demo of how "old, ugly" fabric can be beautiful. It would be a great Block a Day project. Happy Holidays! I look forward to more in the New Year.
Your quilt turned out beautiful. Merry Christmas.
I really like this pattern and will try to make it. You are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing.

Love the 2 1/2 strips. This is the BEST quilt look I've seen in the past year using jelly roll scraps. Thank You. 🎶💐💖
I always hit the like button BEFORE I start the video. I really liked this pattern. I think it would be a good one for new quilters. The quilt you made was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The back was just as pretty as the front. How does one decide which side will be up ??? 🤔🤔. Anyway I love your channel and look forward to the next video. ✌🏻♥️

Wow, you are one busy lady with all the wips you tackle too. Do you get time off? I hope so, you do need it. Or do you sew for friends and family at home too? The sewjo is strong with this one! I like your sewing table. I have to set up my ironing board at the right height, to hold big things up. I love this block, it looks more complex than it is. Have a look ar your first strip buckets pic, you have come a very long way. Congratulations. IDEA? I got myself a bias binding ruler, 8" long or so with a 45° on one end. Lay two strips face to face and cut prs of french braids. Separate into left and right piles, sew on one and then the other. No waste, 45's go on the outside, flat ends fit neatly in centre, use up j roll strips, put the top off-cuts on the base with partial seams and sash the sides. Great with pastels too. Oops you used them, how about those brights and black, maybe red centres? Many scraps could make a very long strip, or a roll, or cut up a roll or 2 you have done? How about red one side, blue the other and white contrast squares in the middle? Cut to length and off you go, only one top for base? Or use a solid square base and setting triangles for angled ends going in opposite directions? Last thing I sewed up was a couple of dozen coloured gaberdine, each, long pants and capri length to wear. I'm a strange shape, it's easier to make them. My sister wanted some too, capri and shorts for summer jammies so 3 dozen done. I sew up 2 pair at a time, with the same cotton colours. Mum used to get me to do her dresses, they were easier 2 at a time too. The trousers, seem to wear out in 10 or so years. The cat had to sit on the bit I was sewing too. He was surrounded by pins, not jabbed though, or he would have been off like a shot. Got some poly blend leftovers for a guy throw, to keep a bed clean when he comes home grotty, needing a nap. And some strips for shopping bags and pouches. Tropical area means cotton works and the dress fabrics were quilting cotton mostly. So odd shapes but plenty of scraps for quilts. Just need some energy after cancer etc., to get busy again.
I love this pattern. I will have to make this ,your block is beautiful and I love your color choices ❤❤
