I'm 83 and have TONS of scraps. But I make any size little blankets and donate them to my local animal shelters, I can't take my fabric stash with me so I'm making random style quilts. Besides the animals don't complain. Besides now they have something that belongs to them. Use towels as batting. They will love you for it.

I was just thinking of trying to use towels as batting on my small quilts. I have the same issue, lots of fabric I inherited from my mom. She decided she's going to retire from sewing and gave me all her sewing machines, notions, scraps and fabric. I've been sewing 4 years now and have not made a dent lol.

I really enjoyed your video and way of teaching. I am new to quilting. The donated fabric scraps I was given I quilt together into totes and purses. I take half the money I receive and buy broad cloth solid colors with to to make the backing for scrappy quilts. I then give those quilts to the homeless shelter nearby. I live in Mississippi, and between the hurricanes and tornados, many people of all walks of life find themselves in a shelter. The workers see my truck and cone out eagerly to help me unload. It is contagious to give to others. I'll try your scrappy quilt suggestion. I subscribed so I can learn more from you.

You saved me from insanity! I have been a quilter for 30yrs. You can imagine how many buckets of scraps I have collected. I saved them to make a scrappy quilt someday, but until now I didn’t know where to begin. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I look forward to the next project ❤

You are so welcome!

I think a scrappy quilt using shades of autumn leaves would be beautiful.

I love scrappy projects, especially smaller ones.

I am one of those people who has trouble sewing random strips or squares together. You are so right that it takes a lot of time to not be random!! I am tryin this technique with my strips! Thanks for making it look easy to randomly come up with something lovely if you keep the color palette small. Can't wait to see more of your ideas!

Wow!❤

I on purpose only make scrappy quilt, so I love seeing videos like this

I've been quilting about 20+ years, and I would say that I really don't like scraps. So I have just been throwing scraps in bins. Finally, I decided I needed to clean up. I've been cutting 5in and 2.5 in strips and squares since March. I figured I had about 4 bins, and then it looked like 8 bins like yours. Now I think am Almost coming to the end at about twice that, I have a few more bins to go. I am never going to let my scraps get so far away from me. Thank you for the inspiration for using up all those scraps! I😊

It's a good thing I like scrappy quilts, this one is a great idea. I am using my cotton scraps from years of sewing to make 6x6 blocks of different scrap block ideas. When I get enough, they'll become a quilt.

Great video. So clear. Color suggestion: what I call 'juicy' - orange, yellow, green, and I throw in some raspberry for the punch of color.

Ahhh… I feel like I can join you in making something with ALL those scraps I’ve been saving! Thanks for the inspiration!

Very creative.

I too enjoyed this tutorial. Never even thought about making a scrappy quilt, but after watching you make this one I am hooked!

Fantastic!!! I make scrappy quilts for charity, Foster kids. Each month I choice a different theme. August is 2 1/2" strips. You have given me some good ideas. I look forward to more videos. 👍👍👍

Liked the quilt

Nice way to use up scraps!

It turned out really nice. Who would have thought that all those scraps would become such a nice quilt!

I always save those last tiny pieces into a bag and use later for stuffing when I make floor pouf cushions for my classroom! Thanks for making this playlist. My scrap bins will be used up, yay!

Fabulous!!!!!

Beautiful quilt

I, too, am new to your channel! These random scrappy projects are so liberating some how! Not to mention, all I’ve got time and brain space for at the moment! Thank you for the tutorial!

Very pretty quilt. I have always loved blues and greens together. I am looking forward to your future projects. I love scrappy quilts.

Thank you, now I feel so hopeful

Super cute! Thanks!

Very nice! I like using scraps to create a nice project! Great idea!

Love the blues and greens, so cool and calming. Can't wait for next month.

This is amazing!!! Love how it turned out 😊

I also like that she used black as an accent color! It really added a richness to all the other colors.

Very clever way of using left over fabrics. Thank you for showing us how to do it. 👏🏻💕

I liked this a lot, I too have a lot of scraps!

Love this thank you😊

Love the final products!! We call the last bits "crumbs". Crumbs are great for stuffing dog beds. Thank you for sharing.

An idea I have for the crumbs is to use mod podge and glue the crumbs onto a painting canvas to make an abstract art piece.

​@cindymckenna9910 Great idea! I'm an Artist (painter) that also quilts. This is a fabulous idea. Hmmm, my brain just went into overdrive: paint and fabric combined on a canvas!!?!! Thank you for the inspiration! ❤

Wow. That looks great. Your technique would make a great border. Also, getting out of your comfort zone is a great idea. I am referring to the paper bag method. The whole idea of quilting comes from using leftovers. Thank you for sharing.

I'm making a strip quilt from all of my mom's old duster house coats, also besides donating to animal shelters, consider nursing homes and hospitals for children. A lot of the elderly in nursing home have nothing❣️

I sure enjoyed your scrap busting project. I have more 2 1/2" strips than I thought and this is be perfect for me to use for Project Linus charity quilts. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to more!

Beautiful! ❤

Great job. I am going to do the same thing. ❤thank you so much

What a brilliant way to use your scraps. A beautiful quilt. 😊

What a wonderful way to sew up those strips. I sew for a group that donates quilts to needy groups. Thank you so much for this idea. Love it.

Nice work!!!😊🎉❤

FANTASTIC 😊😊

Love your video. Scrappy quilts are beautiful and very satisfying. Thank you for this. I’m looking forward to more.

Very nice. I am in the process of doing scrappy quilts so this will be my next one.I am 93 yrs old ,so I have a lot of scraps. 😅

This is excellent! I’m in the process of organizing all my scraps and by the end I think I’ll have enough scraps for 100 quilts!! Omg it’s ridiculous. This makes it seem doable to make a bunch

Love how the colors look beautiful together ❤️ the little scraps make GREAT pillow stuffing. I just made 2 pillows and added some essence oils that will offer a nice aroma in the room Thanks for sharing 👍

Awesome!! I love your final piece!!

That so sew much fun to watch. 😍🧵

Nice job! Love the advice to use a paper bag if overthinking is involved; great tip. Looking forward to next month's offering. Thank you!

Greetings from Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😊 Really enjoyed watching your video - so much so that I have subscribed and look forward to more lessons in taming the scraps! I like your style - no “faffing” around, straight to to the point ❤

It's beautiful.

It turned out pretty cute! It will keep someone warm and maybe put a smile on their face. 😋 Nice job!

All kinds of great tips!

So beautiful quilt, you give me hope to try making something like this beautiful quilt

What a great idea to both use up scraps and to produce a unique but easy charity quilt. Looking forward to viewing your upcoming projects.

Love this video. I do like an organized scrappy. The fact you used blue and green made it more organized than just all colors together. Easier for the eye sometimes.

Enjoyed very much

Scrappy quilts are my favorite no matter what the era or pattern. Scrap bin is overflowing - time to just do it! Amazing video. Thanks!

I too prefer "planned scrappy" quilts. I love the blues and greens that you used in this quilt. I might do a similar project sewing 4 or more strips together allowing me to cut larger squares so I have fewer seams. I look forward to your next tutorial.

That was amazing , a quilt worthy of any bed, most impressed

Really like how you layout to cut the blocks so that that process creates random order.

❤ lovely xx

I just love how that quilt came out; beautiful. ❤

This quilt turned out beautifully! I’ve been looking for an easy project to do with my sisters and nieces. This is it!

Looking good. Thank you

That quilt is very pretty…the dark going through it makes it POP

That safety pin pinned to a set of 10 blocks is brilliant! I’m using that next time 🤠

Brilliant video! Thank you Shelly, I needed to be inspired to use up my 2.5 strips making charity quilts. Looking forward to the next in the series. I follow your monthly UFO challenge and monthly basket quilt blocks. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing making this quilt

I just found your channel this morning. Love the scrappy 2 1/2 " strip quilt! Your instructions are so clear. Thank you!

What a great project! I love the colors….can’t wait to see your next strip-stash buster

I’d love to see red/orange/yellow, as I’m stuck in a life long blue green rut! I love this quilt!

I like it

I loved this. Simple but very easy with pleasing results.

Wonderful idea! Can't wait to see the next one too! One idea you could try is an autumn-themed quilt. This is the time to make one, well before the days get cool. I also love blue & yellow quilts, & jewel tones.

Great idea , I love scrap quilts thank you for the video.

I’m looking forward to following and doing a quilt each month. Thank you.

That turned out so beautiful! Puts me in mind of a lily pond with all the shades of blue & green, and bits of lighter colors here and there.

I would love to see a Christmas one!!!

Wow love your video. First time i see it so please fo more

Wow very impressive
