Enjoying re-watching your older videos

[donnakeim]

I love watching you on YouTube every chance I get. I know this is a year old or more so do not know if you get comments but if you do, I have learned much from you and I have been quilting for 45 years or so.

I loved seeing your quilt show of fall quilts! I hope you will do more shows of your beautiful quilts❤️❤️❤️

[laurelb]

Useful ideas to use size we like most.

I agree! I am a relatively new quilter, but I’ve been crafting for about 20 years. I’m constantly learning and growing so I just don’t know what I will want to make in the future. When I’m ready to make something I’ll cut the scraps to size at that time.

Yoga with Adrienne is awesome! It gives me time to think about my quilting projects while downward facing dog🤣🤣. You are the best, Pat. I never get tired of watching your videos😘

I like your message. I have too many different sizes of scraps. I hate cleaning up my scrap bin. About two weeks ago I came home from work and my sister had organized my scrap bin. Hopefully I will do a better job with my scraps in 2020 and will make a quilt with them.

I started cutting up my scraps after my making my first Traffic jam quilt. I’m recovering from replacement shoulder surgery so I’ve been using my Accu quilt cutter and having a ball organizing my scraps

Good Evening Pat. I don’t have a lot of scraps now because I have been cutting mine up as I go for a long time, now I ‘m using them to make my scrapy traffic jam quilt. And the rest I have in snap close containers in order lol. Thanks and I do appreciate everything you do to keep us quilters in line, so sweet of you. ❤️🧵😃🥤

I have small bins of sizes 2.5 to 7 at the half inch. Recently I started using my 2.5 inch as my leaders and enders and before I knew it I had gone through my whole bin and now have a stack of 4 patch. I have made 1 baby quilt with some and am doing some 16 patch with some. I have used my 3 to 4.5 inch for corner stones in borders, 6 inch for eye spy baby quilts. I don't separate colours so mine are all scrappy. Good for you walking and yoga. I also have started walking the dog more but as he is old and right now we have snow our walks have been shorter.

I use 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 inch strips. I also cut 10 inch squares from my yardage and sew those together for my backing. I make at least one scrap quilt a month. I love quilting!!!

[lisabird]

For years I’ve cut 1 1/2 inch and 2 1/2 inch (blocks and strips) and 5 in blocks. Recently added in 10 in blocks. I’ve found many uses and patterns for all. But, I definitely use more blocks than strips so may quit cutting strips someday soon. I’m making my 3rd Traffic Jam quilt this month. Would love to have you do even more scrappy blocks and quilts. You are a gem Pat. Thanks for all you do

[sherryclifton]

Now Pat, you’ve quit teaching, and gone to meddling. 🤣. I have bins for large piece colors, I have a bin of thin strips and use them for strip quilt squares, and I have 2-1/2 sq for traffic jam and many bins and boxes of EVERYTHING. I probably need an intervention. I can say that your ideas over the past few months have helped me clear out some of the “I’ll never use this, but I’ll keep just in case”. Oh well, you can lead a horse to please keep up giving us great ideas for scraps, especially the ones that help with separation anxiety. I love watching you and your ideas are awesome, so please keep them coming. Surely I’m not the only hoarder. Hugs and kisses to you Pat and the shipping dept.

Pat, this was an excellent topic to cover . I have never been a person to keep every scrap of fabric . I love the reminder to cut scraps that would be appropriate to what one likes to make . Before moving from TX to MN I cut many of my scraps into 4 1/2 and 5 inch squares, and even some 10” squares that I know I will use in projects . So glad I watched this !

[deborahfitzer]

Today I finally had a chance to start cutting up my scraps. I’m doing 1.5” strips, 2.5”squares and strips, and 5” squares. Those are the sizes I will be most likely to use.

[heatherhommowun]

I Adriene! She's wonderful! Good for you for caring for your health and thank you for the scrap chat! I'm cutting scraps and I decided to switch to only cutting them for the scrap quilt I'm planning!

[jacestroud]

Currently I am cutting 2.5" and 5" blocks! Having fun!!!

[catherinealaniz]

You're right! Some of us find joy in cutting up scraps into smaller units (WHY?) But I have 3 basic scrap boxes, 2.5, 5 " squares and smaller, and strips for string quilts. Then when the boxes get full I dive into a scrap quilt. But lately I have been using up more scraps in my backings and that is fun.

[mariemartins]

Pat, thank you so much for your fab ideas-- being purposeful when cutting sizes for scraps; thinking how we will actually use our scrap; and making our own kits. I plan to use these ideas. Yay! I'm so glad you are here to give us these valuable ideas.

[MegaPurplette]

Pat Thank-you for your inspiration and guidance. Newbe Quilter - I have chosen to QUAG my quilts. (Cheaper) I just started taking my scraps and making blocks, courthouse, crumb, dance, and a template block. My plan is to use these blocks for the back of my future quilts.
I have sorted all my scraps by color. I do not cut them until I decide on the block. Having fun breaking all the quilting rules, but I only went through 4 colors of my scraps, I still have a mountain of scraps to use up. ♪ Hi. Ho. Hi.HO. it is off to the sewing room I go. ♫
