Kimberly, one thing i appreciate about your tutorials is your dedication to accuracy. I watch other youtube quilt tutorials but i always come back to you because of your consistency in doing and teaching. Like in this tutorial on the details on accurate cutting. Thanks for taking the time to show us your tips!! Thanks also for being SO DETAILED!! Is so appreciated!! You have taught me SO much!!
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 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" .
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.
Great idea!
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 CZcams 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 :)
I used to not pin, but after watching your tutorials I now pin and I have noticed a lot better results. Thanks.
I am team pinning because of you Kimberly.
Nice demo for using Mini charm packs!
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.
Great tip moving ruler up, not to side!
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 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!
Not a pinner most to the time. Love the quilt!! Thanks for sharing.
Kimberly your awesome 🤩 beautiful 😍 quilt.
Thanks Kimberly ❤️
And that inch and a half strip will make lots of fun stuff too. :D
I’m team, no pinning. Very cute quilt and fun tutorial.👍🏻
Definitely Team Pinner
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. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
I'm a non-pinner. Plus I fingerpress as I go. Nice pattern.
you can tie those strips on a wreath form for decoration.
! Great Idea
I am not a pinner. Great job today. Thiz is the most relaxed I have ever seen you! Thanks for all you do.
the scraps are great for stuffing stuffed animals, dog toys, dog beds, pin cushions or pillows!
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.
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.
You can cut those scraps into equal lengths and tie time onto a length of thick twine. It makes a cute rustic bunting.
I am team pinning. I have much better blocks when I pin. You tutorials have taught me so much. Thank you so much.
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.
Since watching you I’m team pin it really makes a difference!
That pin holder would be a great sew sampler gift. Just saying hee hee
I'm Team Pinner! I get better results when I pin! Love the gingham-y look to this quilt! Thank you! 🥰
I didn't pin, however I now pin. I see the excellent results that you got. Thank you for all you do
I am a pinner! I love seeing a tutorial on Tuesday!! Thank you so much!!
I really enjoyed this. It was my first time watching you
I almost never pin and almost all my points are perfect.
I'd probably use a jelly roll instead of a charm pack. Sew 4 half-lengths together, then subcut into 2.5" lengths. Once you have several variations done, use 4 different subcuts to create the block.
Brilliant!
Shelly, I’m with you! Jelly roll strip sets all the way! 🌸 Nice layout. I just enjoy streamlining the process. 🌷
Cost wise the Mini Charm packs are better choice plus using a jelly roll involves more cutting. I think Kimberly is making this a quick and easy quilt.
Actually when you figure cost per yard, mini charms are more expensive. Yes there's a bit more cutting, but the sewing is much quicker, plus then you wouldn't need to cut down layer cakes into mini charms. I guess it depends on what you prefer to do. I know it would be much faster for me with the jelly roll method. Even cutting 2.5" strips from a layer cake and sewing sets would be faster for me than a huge mess of mini charms. If you're planning a quilt larger than this lap quilt, the impact would be even greater.
By no means am I saying this was a wrong method, merely stating there is an alternate method some may wish to consider.
@@shellyrichards7455 I was talking about the overall price. Four Mini Charms are a lot cheaper than a jelly roll. But we each do it how we choose. Kimberly's goal is to give us projects that are quick and not very expensive.
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. ❤💕🇺🇸
Can’t wait to try this one.
I like to pin, I think of pins as handlebars and I’m driving home with perfection!
Thanks! 👌💖😇
Your trick for organizing and chain piecing the mini charms into a larger block is so clever!
Those scraps good for string blocks.i use down to 3/4".
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!
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.
Very easy and beautiful! Thanks!
I am a pinner! And I've learned a few tricks from you about it, so thanks Kimberly!
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.
Thanks for the free patterns!
I pin at the intersections to keep crisp lines as needed. Otherwise usually no pinning. As a former clothing sewer less pins and removing them as I go was new to me. I learned to sew over pins and rarely if ever broke a needle back in the day!!
I'm 74 and have been sewing all my life. I was taught to sew over pins. Always have and have never had one problem. Never have understood why people are so afraid of sewing over pins.
You can make fabric tassels with scrap strips.
I could never pin as much as you do 📍. Cute quilt. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
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!
Team Pinner here! My DBF watched this video with me this morning. 😀
You could also take the strips And tie them to string and make those rag ribbon banners/Garland
Awesome thanks for sharing
You could also use those leftover strips to make those fabric balls you demonstrated in your video last week!
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 generally do not pin and if I do, not as much as Kimberly does! I appreciate her accuracy and I always learn something! Thanks!
I always pin I find I’m more accurate when I do so. Good video thank you
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 ! 💖
Love this!
CUTE Quilt, Kimberly. Love your way of sewing the squares together.
Fabric & Pattern are so cute!
Team Pin and Team Glue.
Que lindo todo y que trabajo que haces más bonito te veo siempre 😍
Not gonna lie, spent more time checking out your rooms than watching the sewing. Will have to watch again and actually pay attention this time..
Team Pinny!!
I am team non-pinning on small piecing! This looks like a fun pattern to work on as a leader and ender!
Thank you for these tutorials. I have learned to cut accurately now and solved my past headaches.
So cute! I’m mostly no pin but on occasion I revert back to the way I was taught and pin. Thank you!
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!
Such a cute project! And team pinner.🙂
I love your quilts. I wanted to let you know that I use pins just because I feel better to do it that way.
I go through phases. Currently I am a pinner! Cute quilt!
I am on Team pin! 😃 Thanks, Kimberly! I can’t wait to make this quilt!
Love the fabric! Love the pattern! Pin all the way!!
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 am totally a pinner. The longer the seam, the more pins I use.
You should tie those strips of fabric on a wire wreath form.
I recently learned that Moda precuts with the pinked edges are designed to be the full measurement inside the pinked edge. So, start measuring your strip inside the pinked edge or just cut the pinked edge off carefully. Different manufacturers may vary on this rule.
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 use very few pins. I “sew and hope”! 😉
Very cute
I'm a pinner but still doesn't always come out right. Thanks for a great video Kimberly!
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 ❤❤❤❤
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.
Such a lovely quilt. Thanks for sharing!
Team PIN all the way, thanks for this tutorial
I am a pinner, unless the seam is very short. Love this pattern. I think I need another Christmas quilt ;)
I am team pinning! Works the best for me. Thanks for another free pattern with a great tutorial. Blessings and take care.
team pinny most of the time - always when matching seams, but chain piecing certain lengths - i don't. those strips can be used for clothesline baskets - anything 3/4" to 1" wide. love the mason jar decoration idea - particularly for Christmas fabrics! thanks for another great tutorial.
Very cute quilt it could be a picnic quilt or a table topper.
Love the chain piecing tip.
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.
I am definitely an inpin quilter
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! 🧵💜
Very good tips for a newbie like me....Thank You!
NOT a pinner! I always seem to have to wear bandaids when I do, especially if using a white background lol! Thanks for another great pattern and tut!
I would use those strips for string blocks. I’m definitely team pin when nesting seams. Thanks for all your great videos ❤️
That's what I'm doing with all my scraps.
Thank you for sharing this pattern. I would take the scrap material and tie it to twine with mini ornaments to decorate with
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!
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!
When I am working in a block like this I have used a bag dumped all the squares in and shake up to get a good mix then reach in and pull out and start chaining. Worked every time. Do very little moving around.
