Di, greetings from Ireland a small country off of the far western corner of Europe.
As far as crafting goes I live in a dead zone. 9 years ago I started teaching myself quilt making. Di, your down to earth approach and no gimmicks is calming to watch.L ove this quilt.
I enjoy Beth at my sewing room, Donna Jordan, FQS & Karen Brown of just get it done quilts and now yours.
The fact people take the time to film tutorials and give tips is something I appreciate. Thanks! Slainte (Irish for good health)

Thank you, enjoyed the video and instruction. It has inspired me to pull my box of scraps and create!

[suemosley]

Love how this turned out!!! I have so many scraps I am saving maybe for this??!!

I'm absolutely flabbergasted at this beautiful quilt!!! Stunning.

I have never been one to like scrappy looking quilts. But I really DO LIKE this pattern of yours!! Maybe because there is symmetry in the colors? Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

Absolutely lovely tutorial. Thank you so very much. Just love your scrappy round the world quilt top. I can’t wait to see it when it’s completed. I’m sure it’s done by now. I just came up on your videos this morning. Yes I liked and subscribed. Hope you’re having a great and glorious day wherever in the world you may be. Where do you live close by? I have way more fabric than I’ll ever get through. In my lifetime, it would be great to have an old fashion sewing bee.

Oh, wow this is so inspiring! I just have to give this a try. Thanks!!!!

Great quilt. The tips were so helpful.

On your question of how to add round and round, I think the closest is either more like Boston Commons (see Opinionated Quilter) or 1 BIG! Trip Around block makes whole quilt (see Jordan Quilting). For this multiple, smaller Trips, this is the best way I've seen. Tks so much for your version. Love the colors and movement.

Very beautiful! My favorite quilts are Scrap Quilts! Just reminds me of the women from years ago that had very little to work with and cherished every piece of fabric to put in a quilt! Love your quilt!

I made this pattern 21 years ago and always intended to make another one. Your top is so delightful that I am determined to stop procrastinating and to make my second top this year 😀 can’t wait to see yours quilted.

Thank you, Di. This toot is a great one. I enjoy you and the way you teach and share.. very natural, plus not long and drawn out. My mind is churning now to make my first one in this pattern. ♥️

I wish I saw your video last year when I sewed a million squares individually :). Thank you for this great tutorial

[mtherne]

Love your quilt. It rather reminds me of the great granny blocks that are in ‘fashion’ at the moment.

[annecosgrove]

Thanks for these two Scrappy Trip Around the World Quilt videos. I always have a scrap quilt or two going, and I'll check my scraps to see about making one of these!

[lisagilbert]

Beautiful colors!! I like the control scrappy look ❤️❤️

[shirleyleon]

doing Lori Holt's Great Granny right now... I will do this version of the scrappy Trip later this year. Yes, my pieces for the Gr. Granny are 1 1/2. Ive been sewing and quilting a long time and somewhere way back then I cut my scraps that little. Now I save ony 2 inches and larger.. But, hey I already did the cutting so now I will do the sewing. Like you videos..

[sheliaheverin]

I've been looking for something to use my scraps on. I love your quilt. By the way, I LOVE Lori Holt, working on 3-4 of her patterns now.
