You are the first person I have found that actually showed me how to make a quilt from beginning to end with out talking to the animals and a lot of extra chat . I like just show me what you got, and let’s do it! I have been in a depression for 6 years and I think you have shown me where to get started back up out of this feel sorry for me state. I have sewn clothes and quilts all my days since the ninth grade, I am 74 years old and I can’t imagine where the time went. My sweetheart bought me a new machine last Christmas and I made a baby dress and that’s it! With God’s help and your help I am going to the basement and start going through my 55 years of scarps. I have enough to make a thousand quilts and here I have just been setting, Forgive Me all of you quilting ladies and gentlemen God bless y’all

I also started to quilt when I became a widow at 40. Before that, I couldn’t sew a button on to save my life! But the joy of first learning to quilt, and then launching myself into making quilts when my grandchildren came along saved my sanity. I now have a stash big enough to fill a quilting shop, and spend far too much money on fabric but I am as happy as I can be. My favourite part of the process is to choose my pattern and then cut the fabric, I love cutting 🥰

I love love this pattern and have made 2 already! More to come!

I do like the idea of making all the strips in white or same color of choice since it reminds me of a garden lattice. Always such great ideas and you inspire me to make your quilts!

I took a class from a lovely quilter who grew up in Montana during the Depression and who is no longer with us. The pattern is similar to this idea and we used florals with white fabric strips. It was another pattern, but for her class she called it "In the Garden." It's a wonderful way to use up all those extra florals. Somewhere I read that when you buy cotton quilting fabric, buy some inches extra, depending on what you want to do with it. Cut off a 5" strip of each one and you'll have ready-made pieces to use for squares, etc. Currently, I have a small tub of them to use.

Another idea would be to swap out the triangle that gets cut off and sew it on to another triangle

I watch a lot of quilting videos. Your channel is always so relaxing and seems so stress free. Many channels spend so much time with starching, pinning, and seem to make their projects so complicated. I like your style and will watch several videos multiple times. Your quilts always end up perfect to me. ❤

Hi Beth, well I just couldn't wait to make enough scraps, so I cut a quarter yard off a bunch of fabrics and odered about 10 fat quarter bundles from Amazon, a week after their arrival, I'm knee deep in 1" strips and have 80, 5" pieced squares and 6, 9" blocks. It's so easy and I just can't get anything else done. I haven't sewn for over 2 years, and this was just the ticket to get started again. Thank you so much, I'm back in the groove.

Beth, thank you for showing us that we can make a quilt from fabrics and scraps we have without a specific pattern!

I love this and I love just as much that you said it’s okay that seams don’t match up perfectly. I truly love that. If there was a plaque that said something of the sort I’d hang it on the wall and look at it every day. I find that for myself “perfection” is a wretched thing that keeps me from doing things I love to do. Like sewing. I need to literally write this out and keep it handy as a reminder so I can just do what I love and not let perfection be my task master!

Cool block! You could call it "Chip Off The Block". Thank you for your videos!

cute name! I love it.

Diamond in a square! Gorgeous!

Just found this today! I will be making a baby quilt using this idea for my 10th grandchild, due to arrive later this year. I will call it Diamonds in the sky I think. Great tutorial.

One inch strips are great because, when sewn in, they don't change the dimensions of the square. You can sew in several one inch strips, either direction, and the square's measurements stay the same.

None of my little strips matched very well but it was so cute and I was having so much fun I just kept going :) :) Thanks Beth.

I watch your quilt tutorials and you have such beautiful ideas. But more than that your soothing voice draws me in to follow you and you show how to do it with such clear instructions and visuals to go along with it. It seems for me as well you bring me to a place where the peacefulness of it all draws me away from low points and makes me want to just do it in hopes I find someone to give it to that will truly enjoy having it. From my perspective of what I see you doing and sharing, you are a true blessing to this world.

I'm thinking of using a rather large number of civil war prints & a dark solid strip for this. I've been playing with these charms for months. Thank you again for all the inspiration you send our way.

I give you a "like" before I even watch because your videos are great. Another winner!

Thank you very much for this video. I made a version of it from a fat quarter bundle using 9" squares and 1.25" x 9" strips. I got four of each squares and strips from each fat quarter. The result was gorgeous.

What a clever way to make all those fabrics shine and yet give the qult a theme and cohesion.

I agree with all the comments. I love how you just relax, believe in the process and it turns out beautifully. I would be a nervous wreck doing it like you do. I honestly think that you are amazing, Beth. ❤

Thank you Beth! I have a big stash of charm packs that I inherited from another quilter who passed. I was running out of ideas that don't cause lots of waste. Another great quilt!!!

So simple and so beautiful. 💗💗💗

Meadow walk. Great name for this quilt. Love your ideas for all your quilts . Thank you beth.

I just finished a quilt using that block pattern. It was so much fun to make that I couldn't stop till complete! I put 1 " finished sashing strips between the blocks with 1" finished anchor squares at connecting corners using backing fabric. All my 5" squares were a collection of scraps from myself and 2 sisters. I love it!

I love this idea. It would make a nice charity quilt.

Thanks for the tip about taping a paper template to a ruler for easy corner cutting. This would make a really great addition / border for a printed panel, or a square or rectangle of a favorite fabric that you wanted to use as a center for your quilt. I think this Scrappy design could be really cute for a table topper or a window seat cushion. Thank you for your clear instructions and this nifty idea.

"Meadow Walk" - because the 1" inserts remind me of paths through flower meadows. Love the result Beth. Thank you.

Your quilt is a beautiful pattern within a pattern. It causes one to take pause and appreciate that for a moment.

I can see this being used for a baby quilt. Can't wait to put one together.

I really like this block! A great way to use up 10”, 5” charms and who doesn’t have scraps to cut the 1”strip! Brilliant ❤

This is so simple, yet so pretty! Thank you for the inspiration!❤

Thank you for this lovely quilt block, Beth! It inspired me to jump right into action and begin cutting out 5 inch squares from the vintage florals in my stash. I am going to try an alternative in the piecing: mixing up the small triangle corner fabrics to make it even scrappier! I've tossed the little corner pieces in a paper bag and am picking them out at random to sew to the larger pieces, no two will match. I also decided that the thin insert slices of fabric in this new arrangement will be the same white fabric repeated throughout, joining all the pieces. I hope mine looks even halfway as lovely as your example when it's completed...

"Peaceful "for the name. Love the simplicity of it and the vision mentioned of a picnic quilt reminds me of peaceful days.

Yesterday I bought some batting and backing fabric which I have never done before. found it at such a good price. JoAnn's online. I haven't made a quilt since I was 17 (52 yrs ago) and at that I didn't buy batting. I took apart an old comforter and made the top and back and then knotted it. My youngest son today loves that quilt and has it on his bed. This pattern looks so complicated but your clear instructions shows me that I can do it too. Thank you so much again! Happy thoughts! :)
