- Third project in a series using 2 1/2 inch strips to make scrappy quilts! These videos will be a great tutorials to make beautiful, scrappy, quilts. My goal is to use up strips that have accumulated in my lifetime of quilting!
Three strips, 2 1/2" x width of fabric will make 6 blocks.
The quilt I made used about 5 yards worth of fabric. YAY!
This project uses two colors plus a background color to create the pattern of step down boxes. The video will show you two different color combinations but you can use any two colors that you like! You could even use lots of colors with a little planning! Watch to the end to see how I made the colored in chart to have a pattern to follow!
The size of quilt I made in the video was perfectly sized to be a Quilts of Valor project. Check out the requirements and information on Quilts of Valor at this website:

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! 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!
The graph for the pattern is located in the "files" section of our Facebook group.

A good thing about watching CZcams quilters is that you see things you wouldn’t have thought of on your own. This is a Rail Fence I never would have come up with and I think it’s really cool! I make QOV’s so I have lots of RWB fabric that would make up great like this. Thanks for this idea!
This is so true!
Bless you, Beverly, for your QOVs.
What are QOV’s and RWB?
@dhardwick1228 QOV = Quilts of Valor, RWB = red, white & blue
@@angelacarnes2894 thank you
A great podcast especially for newer quilters. A wealth of info and a excellent podcast. Nice job.
The rail fence quilt was the very first quilt I ever made. 5 years later it is still my favorite go-to make it quick quilt!! Love the purple one and happy to have such a great pattern for it ….Thank you!!
Such a good series. I could listen to you narrate these all day. You have a very appealing narrative style. I hope this series continues!
Now that’s a collection of colored pencils! Thank you for the great ideas and a great quilt.😊
This quilt would look great in all the primary colors for a child. Or a great rainbow colored quilt.
Grey,peaches and pale aqua.😮
@@violetlaferriere3985I like your idea of color combos
I am a new quilter. I would love to have to enough scraps to make the quilts you are making. Some day I will be there☺and will enjoy the process of making quilts with left overs! I am enjoying your videos and am getting a lot of great ideas. Thanks so very much! Linda
Looks like a great quilt for a University of Northern Iowa fan!
Soft green and yellow would make a nice baby gift.
Wow! I thought I had a lot of scraps! 😂That’s a brilliant way to use them!
I was just saying, I always forget how nicely gold goes with purple. I mused to my partner that I might need to do a purple and gray with gold accent project - and they reminded me that purple and gold are the local university colors, which I couldn't give two cents about. I wouldn't want to have others see my quilt and assume I'm a big college sports fan, or something! All silly, of course. Love this series!
What a beautiful quilt from scraps; can't wait to try it. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. I loved both your purple and yellow quilt and the red, white and blue quilt. You have a gentle pleasant voice and simple clear instructions - as a new quilter, I really appreciate both. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
The possibilities are endless here. I love that! Blue and orange would be pretty. I love the purple and yellow version!
I'm inspired to use blue, tan, an coral to make a beach quilt.
Great video and even better series! I look forward to it each month. I have started putting my 2 1/2 inch scrapes in a different pile to make some of these quilts.
I am truly enjoying this series! Thank you for all that you do!!!
You are so welcome!
I’m going to use green and browns to make this. I have a lot of earthy tones that will look great with a creamy background
I'm fascinated how you manage to keep track of the colours you need to use and keeping the momentum without losing the pattern. Blows my mind!
Thank you for the inspiration! I’d like to make a blue and orange version… my college’s colors. Your two turned out great!
Such a versatile pattern. I really into the blue and gold combination right now or just plain scrappy.
Oh my goodness so cute! So many options, purple & green, blue & yellow, the list could be endless.
Thank you for the ideas & tutorial
Wow, this looks so wonderful! Thank you so much, I’ve included this on my wannado list🎉 ❤️😀
Wonderful!
Ooh, i might rainbow this😁🌈
Envisioning teal green, rose, and gold... I love these videos! Excellent graph, btw! 😃
New to quilting. Thanks for your. Helpful hints. I'm going to do red, white & black for my son.
I am LOVING these videos!! My trash stash, as I call it, looks very much like yours and you have given me the confidence to face it like a champ!! Please keep this series going and when you're done with 2 1/2 strips, try doing a series with smaller bits and pieces. I have lots of those too.
Love, Love Love this quilt. I have been watching since you started this monthly 2.5 inch series. I have subscribed. Thanks so much for the great inspiration. I would like to try this one in blues and greens.
So much fun to watch you make these quilts. They are so pretty!
I have put in a request to join your FB group. Love your quilts! Thank you!
Love both color way but think the Red, White and Blue is my choice to do
I love sewing strips. It’s so relaxing. Thanks for sharing your pattern
Those quilts are gorgeous
I love the purple, yellow quilt! Thanks for sharing.
I don't quilt, but this a way to use scraps to make a lap throw for nursing home patients. I like to watch your videos because you take a lot of the guess work out of sewing simple projects. Thank you for sharing,
I think I'll try a blue & yellow for my best friend. I promised her a king quilt but it's taking a while. So a lap quilt will be nice.
Plus if I make it long, it will be a "Recliner-sized" quilt. (Long enough for her 6'2" hubby to pull to his upper chest & still tuck under his feet.!)
This looks great. It is nice to see someone who sews like me. Not many people chain piece like you do. It is great
Love them both but i have lots of red blue and green so thinking of a red white and blue and a green red and white. You always have such good ideas.
Great use of strips. This was useful! I love the block because it’s easy but sure makes a statement. My brother just received a quilt of valor which was a rail fence! Thank you, Connie from Kentucky
This is going to be a great scrap buster for my red, white and blue strips! Thank you.
Love both your quilts.
Lovely colour
Beautiful quilts! Love that you share ways to use up our scraps! I think a black and Orange for Halloween would be cute and of course a Christmas one would be cute. Your pastels would be pretty for a spring quilt.
It is lovely I think a hot pink and dark blue combo would look good
both colors are beautiful but, the yellow and purple were my junior high school colors and purple is my favorite color so it's my fav, thanks for sharing
What an awesome quilt..new way to do rail fence! Love it ❤
Really like that version of the Rail Fence. Sure goes on my ToDo list.
You have a lot of pretty scraps. I wouldn't have that many. Your quilt is so pretty. Thanks for video
I recently found you on CZcams and I've been watching you work. I enjoy your selection of patterns and colors and would like to see this particular quilt in blacks and reds. Thanks.😊
Beautiful quilts. Thanks for the tutorial and coloring page
Glad you enjoyed it!
Pink and coral would be fun for a springy quilt
One of my fave combos is pink, brown and green. Yes, pink and green. They remind me of flowers on the bush! ❤
I love your CZcams channel❤ I started the year with you with the project boxes and doing what a month but that my homie just burn so I can keep up with that but I am loving your scrap series and your state of the month. I love the way you teach you use beautiful fabric and I just so appreciate the time you did a cake to this thank you so much Charolett Howard from Texas
Love the purple and yellow quilt!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for the video 😊
I love your work . Thank you for sharing
Loving your attitude of ‘no over-thinking’! 😎😁
It’s a fun quilt. I love the colors
Que hermoso trabajo. Me encanta la combinación amarillo y morado. Saludos desde Colombia
Thank you for the scrap patterns, I can always use those!❤
Какая красота, как я люблю копаться вот в таких коробках с обрезками....эх подарил бы кто нибудь на Новый Год одну такую коробку...я бы до конца жизни молилась бы за этого человека...❤
Nice pattern!
I love this video and I am hoping to make a purple and teal quilt.
I’m making a quilt for a ten year old boy. It will have forest green, prints of camping and dinosaurs and maybe white or royal blue. Or the green will be the backing and the white or blue will connect the various prints I have collected.
Browns are really nice with soft blues and pinks. I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you.
I love this idea and your videos. I’d love to try this pattern using low volume prints for the outer rails and a slightly darker print of a single shade for the center strip.
I love this quilt!
Thank you for sharing these lovely blocks. I love your attitude. Grab and go. Don’t over think. Just go for it.
Wow what a collection. Great quilt idea, thank you. I love how you back stitch at beginning and end of rows. A step so many quilters miss as unnecessary, but keeps edges sewn before quilting.
Our Quilt Guild like many others makes community quilts. a lot of the quilters donated their 2.5 inch strips. your pattern is a winner. There are so many variations of the rail fence. I like yours because of the alternate square using both primary colors. thank you for all your strip videos.
I think the red white and blue quilt is my favorite!
I love finding new was to make QOV quilts. Will definitely try this one.
Wow I really like them both. I would like to do a blue one. Thank you for a great tutorial video!
Impressive, thanks for sharing. 👍❤️😊
I first listened to this tutorial while driving….. now is my chance to watch! Many thanks for your style, use of pleasing music and GREAT lesson!!!
Today was my QOV sewing day!
Pink and purple
Beautiful, imaginative quilt. Thanks for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset, UK
Thank you! 😊
I love the purple and yellow combo.
I love the series. Watching you do this with such ease is liberating.
I love the pattern. I want to make one in pink and light blue/turquoise.
What a wonderful idea 🤩 Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful quilts with us 👏👏🇬🇧
OMG, the picture of you sitting in a sea of fabric scraps 😲😲😲😲😲
The hardest thing when making this quilt for me was nesting the seams. The video does a fair job of explaining but it is crucial.
And the white center strips tie the blocks and tone down the scrappiness.
I’m going to use this pattern for a baby blanket. The colors will be mostly blues but I may have to accept a little inconsistency in the cord because I’m using stash and not buying new fabric. 😃
Love ❤️ this quick way of quilting! Red, white and blue will be my first. Thank you.V
LOL! Seeing fabric scraps in your bins that are also in mine. You do have way more though.
Thank you for posting! You've gotten me re-motivated and I'm back on projects I had laid aside.
Love this idea! I never would have thought of it. Now it’s definitely on my bucket list. Anyone would love to receive it. Thank you!
I love red, white, and blue! But the yellow and purple was so pretty. I guess I will have to make them both! lol Thank You for all the info. Barb😊
Good old rail fence. Love it. Thanks for the series 😊
I would love these quilts. Just beautiful.
Great idea.
I love to see your positive approach to scraps. I usually have more scraps to cut into 5 inch squares 4 1/2 etc. but O have tons of jelly rolls I just look at. So thank you for some great ideas
Beautiful!
Great ideas
Thank you!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I LOVE IT❤
Really enjoying your channel!
Awesome! I have been patiently waiting for #3
More to come!
Both color ways are beautiful however I am partial to the red, white and blue as my late husband served 20 yrs in the US Navy!
We appreciate his service!
