You good at explaining the block. Your drawn diagrams were very very very helpful. It's a good visual tool.

I need a step by step explanation with pictures. You delivered.

When you showed a daeker center variation, a I spy quilt came to mind. If you used primary or pastel (baby) colors, it would make a cute quilt. I would put different prints in the centers for I spy.

💕🌸Beautiful quilt, I really like it thank you.

I have only made two quilts using fabric that I have bought specifically for a quilt I am about to make. I stopped counting how many quilts I have made once I hit over 50. Everything comes out of my stash. I have bought a lot of it, sometimes at yard sales, thrift store sales (25 or 50 cents for a fat quarter!), gifts of fabric and I do product reviews for Amazon's Vine program, so a lot of fat quarters; charm packs, rulers, batting, thread, etc. So I always feel like I am making free quilts.

This is exactly what I needed to see...I also have an Accuquilt and I need to get rid of scraps

If you don't have a spare wall for a design wall... you can make a portable one with 2 or 3 folds like a room divider. With thick card or light weight foam board like is used in framing prints etc. Or use particle board with blocks turned into lip on feet to hold it up. If you cover both sides you can use it in any configuration, sample blocks on one side, whole quilt on the other? Then fold it up and store beside a cupboard when not needed? You have probably already thought about this idea though. I have seen the right sized batting pinned up then taken down with the top on it and a new piece used for the next one? Of coourse you will find a solution that will work for you.

Love this quilt and how you've adjusted it it's georgous.

I love tutorials that show us how to use scraps, but I really love how you made a controlled scrappy quilt because those always look so much better. This was a 10!

Thank you for this lovely quilt. I think I might try this, after my back heals. It's getting better and at the moment, I am hand quilting a 50+year old quilt. Like anything else, one stitch at a time; thank you again with a wonderful tutorial!

[almagrady]

Top notch video!! I love the instruction, and I also love the fact that you did not waste my time!! Thanks!

[kathyshishilla]

I have never quilted. You make the process simple. Thank you

[karenrodway]

You can use picnic tablecloth for a design wall. The back is perfect. I just tack it up with tack.
Nice cheap design wall 😊

Im about to but together block a!! I did block b first! Lol can’t wait to get these together. I did it with Christmas scraps and now am regretting some of my choices but oh well!! Still going with it to keep it no spend. (Ultimately I used too many repeats!! 😬)

[lindsayschilling]

Beautiful Quilt! And, I Love the pattern (I just added it to my bucket list). Many thanks for this great tutorial. ❤

I used my stash to make 2 large quilts and about 7 baby quilts during lockdown. I had some charm squares and left over yardage to make them. I wasn’t happy with some of the outcomes, but they were finished and donated. It didn’t make much of a difference in the amount of stash I still had, and on top of that, I started buying more fabric! 8 was kind of depressed. Now I am trying not to buy anymore fabric and use my stash and you have given me another beautiful quilt to make. Many thanks for all you do. Your tutorial was informative and very clear as well as a beautiful product.

Beautiful quilt‼️loved your explanations and tips of putting the quilt together. I would have liked to see the finished back of the quilt and how you pieced it together.

[brit]

Thank you for sharing your tips, quilting is a new hobby and I’m learning how expensive it can be.

[deemac]

Wow.. 😊 i love it. That is so n8ce.. now if i only can find fabric close to yours would be great. I have liked others i have watched on your video.. 😊

[leslietinyhousebuilderwann]

Thank you. I recently came across 4 free garbage bags full of scraps and you can be sure I will be making this quilt. I can’t wait. Thank you.

[TheJerricaJace]

I would love to see more of these no spend quilts!!! So inspirational.
