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
That’s so sweet of you, 1 more step up to the top!
I am close to same age and feel as you do, have always sewn since I was young and have made a few quilt tops...it is a great way to feel a sense of accomplishment. It is the getting started again that is my challenge now days....the day can go by so fast and I seldom feel that I have done anything at all. God bless you,. This is a great quilt to start again with.
@@carolwalker6965 I hope you are a real person ( lol) I have been warned against answering a text to someone on line. Always a scam going on. I just wanted to let you know that I was impressed with the way you explained it. I have since worked on my sewing room, it had become a catch all since I wasn’t sewing. I wish you to have a blessed day and happy sewing!!!!
@@carolwalker6965 I just realized that you are not bethshibley l know that you are wondering what I was talking about explaining, I didn’t look at your name before I started typing. Now I know you are a different lady. I just started this commenting on a quilt that impressed me and and it was Beth Shipley I liked the way she took her time to show us. It was simple but I now need simple.!!! So nice to hear from you.
@@revahood1023 that's fine I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and wanted to encourage you and agree that this lady's video are an inspiration to me too and I just subscribed to her channel to see more of her content. So simple and makes me feel like working on a project now.
I think "Square Dance" would suit that sweet quilt.
I think that’s a perfect name!
I do hope you read your comments. I love almost every quilt you've taught however, that's not why I'm commenting. You have saved my life twice now. Literally! The piece and joy of your tutorials have truly spoken to me. Several years ago I lost an adult child and this last year my husband of 50years. The softness of both your quilts and voice is where I go when I need a jolt of happy. Thank you!
So sorry for your loss. I do read comments and appreciate this little corner of youtube land. What a sweet group of creators.
Thank you it’s a beautiful quilt and you showed how to do it without lots of fancy tools.❤
I too found your video calming. I lost an adult child 2 yr ago and I have a problem getting back to quilting. I’m not a perfect quilter but enjoy the process thank you
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 🥰
Excellent@@daisy8297
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.
Cool block! You could call it "Chip Off The Block". Thank you for your videos!
cute name! I love it.
Wow, you have such a great imagination when you see the potential of 5" squares. I really like this one. Reminds me of looking through a lattice trellis at a garden.
You're right - trellis is also what came to my mind - something like trellis triangles / squares / garden or garden path for a name.
I just read what l texted yesterday wow!
🧠🤯 We all on the same page
Keep Rocking 🤙 the good stuff 👍 Beautiful people 🤗😉 the 🖖 continue with your creative vision play 😋2023 safe healthy happy creative energy 🐇
@@RIANAVENTER yes "trellis garden"
It has my vibe attached because I am both a gardening and sewing person
I love love this pattern and have made 2 already! More to come!
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 would call it Garden Window. It's so lovely. Thanks!
I like ‘Beth’s Garden Window.’ I’ve got mine ready to stitch together. Triangles cut, strips sewn, and ready, from that point. Happy sewing 🧵!
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 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. ❤
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.
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!
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.
Beth, thank you for showing us that we can make a quilt from fabrics and scraps we have without a specific pattern!
What always strikes me about your quilts is how you can envision cuddling up under it…and isn’t that the essence of a quilt…you have a gift for creation of comfort
What a neat way to use 5 inch squares. I always seem to have a lot of them . I do a lot of charity quilts so I am always looking for different ideas. Thank you. I have used a lot of your ideas for quilts. I love your videos. Jo
thank you
So simple but so pretty! What a great way to use up those 5” blocks. Guess what my next project will be?!?
I truly LOVE this quilt! I have a group of charm packs and this is a great block to make them into. Some of them are multiples, so think i could easily make a quilt for our guest room. Headed down to my basement sewing room right now . Thank you, Beth, for sharing yourself and your talent with so many of us. ♥️
I could see doing this on a larger scale with a layer cake and jelly roll... Endless possibilities!
Love this idea. How would you go about it. Please let us know if you try. I think it would be gear. Beth always leads us to new ideas.
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.
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!
Diamond in a square! Gorgeous!
This is my kind of quilt, Beth. Only two rules...cut the 5" block at 3.5" from point to point and the strip is 1" wide. No other requirements. Scrappy quilts are generally random and mostly uncontrolled...love it!!
I can see this being used for a baby quilt. Can't wait to put one together.
I was thinking the same Belinda. I have to make a baby quilt using my scraps and I have white that will use for lattice .
As long as you love it , that's all that matters. .it doesn't matter what people think about it as long as you love it that's what matters 💗💗💗
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!
"Meadow Walk" - because the 1" inserts remind me of paths through flower meadows. Love the result Beth. Thank you.
I so agree about all the chitchat sometimes . I have been quilting quite awhile and this is a fantastic way to use up scraps.. lNot perfect but finished is perfect! This really looked kinda hard but it looked simple to make but I have to be careful about how much rotory cutting i do so I was glad to see you use the scissors to cut the one inch strip. This looked fun to do!
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.
You are right so addicting currently doing this beautiful quilt with my scraps
I love it. I think you should call it Diamond square dance ❤
I just found your channel this afternoon. I have a collection of batik fabrics I think would be perfect with your design. I love it.
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!!!
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.
I love this one...I'm going to try it... I love your simplicity. 💕 Iy
WOW, never thought of this idea. so many quilts..so little time. am going to try this today. THANKYOU FOR SHOWING another use for 5" squares!
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...
What a clever way to make all those fabrics shine and yet give the qult a theme and cohesion.
Seeing the finished quilt, first thing popped in my mind “ Diamond Charm” 😊
What a beautiful quilt !!
"Peaceful "for the name.
Love the simplicity of it and the vision mentioned of a picnic quilt reminds me of peaceful days.
great idea
You never seize to amaze me. Very nice
I love this idea. It would make a nice charity quilt.
What about “Happy Scrappy Lattice” for the name of your quilt! I love this one! What an awesome idea!!!!
I like it!
Is there a pattern for this?…. Or can you give me the name of it please?….
@@yolandasager5307 often Beth will work with what she has in front of her. She will reference patterns or quilt books where they exist. The best part is the organic nature of creating exactly just what you want to make, perhaps using this or other videos as a starting point of inspiration. Names are just one part of the quilting process. What matters is that you enjoy the journey alongside the fabric and techniques
Ooh love it, happy scrappy garden lattice
Thank you for your tutorial, your method is so straightforward!! As soon as I saw this I thought “Diamond Squares”!!
I also appreciate your choice of music, great listening!!
Meadow walk. Great name for this quilt. Love your ideas for all your quilts . Thank you beth.
I have really enjoyed watching your video. Especially when I noticed that I also have some of the fabrics that you are working with!....I live in Australia, so seeing fabrics that are in my stash seems all the more special to me.
I have bin of my grandmother’s florals and she had beautiful flower gardens all around her house! So many of you mentioned white for a picket fence look! I am so excited to finally have a vision for a memory quilt!❤️
Oh my, Beth, I smiled through this whole video. How fun to see you use all those familiar florals! I think our quilt twins are both perfect. Thank you for bringing me back to the creativity of quilting. Figuring it out as you go along reminds me of watching a painter. Much love to you, sewing friend! 🌸
Thank you for sharing with Beth who could then share with us! I love these fabrics and this quilt and BETH!
thank you! I had so much fun playing with your squares!😍
Thank you Aly for sharing your generosity with all of us!
@@bethshibleyquilts I love the added dimension of the splitting of the squares and orientation of the blocks
@@bethshibleyquiltsI
I have some beautiful florals that I look at and cannot envision cutting into small squares or triangles, this is the perfect size!! Thank you for your inspiration!
It’s beautiful! Maybe call it Dancing Diamonds.
Lovely floral fabric! That was so kind of Allie to send it to you! 😃 Nice quilt! 🌸
The fabrics Allie sent you are beautiful.
yes...very kind!
Love your way of showing .you took time and not in a hurry❤
So simple and so beautiful. 💗💗💗
Very beautiful! I'm new to quilting, but I've sewn clothes for my kids, then my grandkids. Dolls clotjes also. But now everyone is too grown up for homemade clothes, so i turned to quilting. It is a little stressful at times, but also relaxing. You made a comment, "What's a quilt without mistakes. " i may ppst that on the wall to remind me it's ok if my points dont match up perfectly.
Beth, wonderful idea. I like how you trim them up as you go. You create your quilts with ease. Your tutorial’s are very calming and wonderful to watch! Thank you- Staron
This is beautiful ... Thank you !!! I'm saving this and hope to one day be able to concentrate and focus to sew again...
I can relate to the ladies in feed below.
May God bless you all reading this!!!!
My favorite kind of block - one that looks intricate and complex but is actually simple and easy, love it! 👍🏾😊
I love this quilt !! The narrow strip is perfect!!
Your quilt is a beautiful pattern within a pattern. It causes one to take pause and appreciate that for a moment.
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 ❤
Love this ❤️ I would name it "Trellis Garden Windows". It definitely reminds me of the Wisteria lattice we had in New Orleans, and now the Clematis Vine in Wisconsin.
Beth I have a huge box of 5 inch squares and wondered if I would ever use them. This is the perfect project and I will get started right away. Thanks so much. I love your stress free style accompanied by the lovely music choices!
Another wonderful idea 👏👏 Love the ‘diamond’ the strips make when the four patches come together 🥰 Thank you for sharing all your ideas Beth 👍🇬🇧
This is awesome! I am a quilter wanna-be but I just cant do all that fidgety measuring and getting all the joints even and the struggle for me is real! BUT THIS! I can do. and I WILL and I will succeed and I will be a quilter. Thank you so much for this video.
When I saw the strips made diamonds on point my first thought was Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds but that's kind of long so then I also thought it looked like a Garden Trellis. I'm sure you'll come up with the right name! Such a pretty block/quilt!
I like your idea
Beth, I want to share with you that I'm making up block kits of this pattern for our Quilts of Valor guild project. I can't wait to see it all come together. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Wonderful!
That's a great idea 💡
The quilt is wonderful, it is finished and out for quilting. I know one of our veterans will be thrilled to get it.❤❤❤
What a brilliant tip to make inserting the strip very easy to do. Now what haven't I thought of that!! Thank you
I just found this video and love everything about it. Thank you so much for sharing. I feel of utterly useless, but I love to sew. My failing eyesight slows me down. 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! :)
Thank you so much. Enjoy sewing your quilt! 🙂
I love it! Your music and your voice are peaceful, almost like meditation! Thank you for this video lesson.
Good Evening Beth, I really like how you added a accent to this block. It looks like fun to make too❣️ I love working with five inch squares. Have a joy filled weekend. 🥰 Chris
Stay on the straight, and narrow. Make the appropriate decision when your tempted to step off onto the wide. That’s what I thought of. Another stunning make.🥰🙏
I really like this one. I think I’ll give it a try.
I love the pattern! I am making a runner for our tv stand. Our new big screen will be here Monday and I needed to make something to go under it. Thanks Beth!
Thank you! Such a simple easy way to make a beautiful pattern. I’m looking forward to using up my scrap blocks and one inch strips for a quilt, now! ❤
Great use of my charm backs, love this. Thank you.
Charm packs!
Genius Beth..such a lovely idea…very pretty quilt. Thanks for sharing…x Dottie x
Glad you like it!
Very pretty you always have such a great vision for fabric 🙂💖
thank you
Lovely ❤ I have impulsively purchased far too many charm packs. This would be such a beautiful way to mix them up and use some scraps for the strips
😊
It would be interesting to sew a different triangle back on after the strip. Might have to try that.
Hi Beth, I really enjoyed this quilt pattern. I plan to make more than one for some if my grandkids. I would call it Floral Diamonds.
I love this quilt/pattern!
I"m "Country Chic," so this speaks volumes to me. My "bff" (since 4th grade 50 plus years friendship) and I have been discussing this pattern since I discovered it 'three months ago or so...
I finally found 'just the right fabric--only, mine's going to be somewhat 'monochromactic 'in blue (as in bluebird, bluebells, or forget-me-not flower's 'blue)!
And, using the beautiful 'Lulu's 'Bluebirds on blue as the diagonal (all one color) 'to form the diamonds...:
I want my quilt to speak, "'soft, feminine, quiet, calm and peace..."
'not that 'cheerful won't be something I go for next time (because I know I'll be making this pattern more than once!)!
Beth, making progress on my quilt, it turning out beautifully! I decided to add a diagonal to two opposite sides of the square, which is a bit more labor intensive, but yeilds the secondary patterns of diamonds on every row. It really is elegant.
With the Brother Sister Studio Bluebird Blue fabrics, with five repeats, it's yeilding a third diagonal pattern (and, because of the diagonal pattern, instead of sewing 4-blocks, I'm having to sew rows instead)... this is quite a pattern, Beth. It would be fun to see the many diff results that can be generated from this concept you created.
This pattern is so versatile. Again, I love it!
That’s novel, very pretty. That ruler is the best, so many uses.
Lovely quilt, Beth. It has a soft look, makes one want to get wrapped in it. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕
you're welcome! Thanks for watching.🙂
Those beautiful colours all came together to make such a pretty quilt top - well done Beth for this gorgeous finish 😍
Beth, I Love this quilt! This is one I’ll definitely add to my “to do” list! Thank you for sharing! 😍
Happy sewing
I love the quilt - and Square Dance is such a clever name for it! I hope you choose it.
This is giving me all sorts of ideas on how to vary the pretty little block! An adorable quilt, as ever. I enjoy your creativity!
Beautiful! Thank you Beth. I couldn't decide what to do with my floral 5" square collection. You just inspired me! 😍🇦🇺
Have fun!
Awe this is creative and pretty! Love those flowers squares- Interesting and fun- thank you for showing us- yes!
This is such a peaceful quilt! I've impulse bought a lot of dainty floral print fabrics that need a good home and I think this might be just the thing! 💜
Wonderful!
Beautiful quilt Beth❣❣ beautiful pattern and fabric. Great job💯👀 I love the music you chose for this video. It's soothing. XXXX
I love this Beth. It turned out beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Such a wonderful idea to use my scrap fabric that I have cute into squares! You are awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Great idea! Using a 1" strip keeps the size the same and makes the layout so quick! Love this!
Every time I watch you, I want to make "that" and mostly I do! Todays video is that next quilt. You have wonderful ideas and inspire me. Thank you 😊
You should call this one Beth's Lattice Quilt.
Very pretty block and quilt with a simple strip Beth. I thought of off-setting the second row of 4 patches and alternating them as a different layout too. Lattice gets my vote for the quilt name.👍💗🇦🇺
Ohhhh I Love this👏👏👏
NAME: Flower Garden Squared
This is added to my wannado list!
Thank you Beth fir all your knowledge and creativity that you share.
🥰 ❤️👏
great name
I knew I had watched this video before. I just didn't remember commenting. I didn't remember seeing the hour glasses the first time. It's such a beautiful quilt with such a simple touch.
I have been fighting with quilt blocks I made myself your quilt is simple but amazing
Cute design for a baby. Thank you for sharing
