A no spend quilt is perfect for the beginning of the year. At the beginning of a new year I always say - I am going to save money this year. Not I am going to lose weight or go to the gym. Nope! I am going to control my spending and this no spend quilt is perfect for my first quilt of 2024 and my declaration to spend less money.
Another undertaking is to use the fabric I have which fulfills the no spend quilt; as well as saving money. And I have a LOT! I traveled quite a bit in the last 2 years and I've collected some beautiful fabric. Now I need to use it.
So to both ends, I have created a controlled scrappy no spend quilt that turned out great. I combined a couple different techniques I've seen and came up with a quilt that I really like.

I think the quilt needs another vertical row to finish the half diamond block. It just looks unfinished to me. With that completed, I think the border choice will be easier to determine.

@judithburke1539 6 месяцев назад

I agree with you!

@daisy8297 6 месяцев назад

Me too! Love the blue and white, but it seems unbalanced to me. Then I would add a thin white border and then a wide blue or floral border. Maybe even both!

@nancy9478 6 месяцев назад

Yes, I would prefer the blue diamonds be complete on the side and botto.

I laughed right out loud at of a stash breaker for a beginner. I started to be a serious quilter at age 54. I had so much fabric already prepared I made large 25 patch baby quilt in just 6 weeks. While techniques and presentations are better our hoarding ways are still there. Lovely class. Thank you.

@marycook9607 6 месяцев назад

I would have done 1 vertical row on the right and 1 more row across the bottom. It would balance out quilt better.. a solid color before floral. God bless.

@aprilscraftroom 5 месяцев назад

Love this idea

@kellywood8306 6 месяцев назад

The blues are beautiful but there is no center. I suggest adding one more half column to the blues on the right and make it rectangular. It looks unfinished. Love what you did with the white block centers. A solid blue or white border would frame your blocks nicely with all the pattern then bind it with the patterned fabric if it doesn’t clash with your backing.

@aprilscraftroom 5 месяцев назад

Great suggestion!

@lindapoe4124 4 месяца назад

That pop in the middle was a brilliant idea! I think the dark looks good up against your quilt with the Pioneer Woman finishing it off. It will be beautiful either way. I just had my dark chocolate dove candy!!

@lindapucillo7875 4 месяца назад

The snowball corners absolutely makes the block pop! Great idea! Like some other comments, I have a hard time with the balance of the blocks. I would use a thin white border then a wide floral border. This is such a cool, easy and fast quilt. Also loved the picture of the small blocks. They really look like a lot of work. Fun to work on over time, but not if a quilt is needed right now! Good tips on where to start strips and how to chain piece. Many thanks for your videos. I love watching your creative process!

@patl869 6 месяцев назад

If you sew strips together and then cut a square, layer it with a matching solid square, draw the line corner to corner and sew on both sides of the line you will have 2 HST at a time.

@aprilscraftroom 6 месяцев назад

Wouldn’t the stripes be verticals instead of horizontal? Because I thought the same thing when I sewed the strips together. LOL. I think I am missing g something. 😃

@patl869 6 месяцев назад

@@aprilscraftroom I'll have to look at it again. I've seen it done on several videos. Now If I can find them. :-)

@laurenwest5277 6 месяцев назад

If you angle your square ruler so that the strips aren’t straight vertically or straight horizontally then it should work. Use the 45 degree line on the square ruler to line up with the strips so that way they will be angled correctly for the HST blocks

@pamboone6921 6 месяцев назад

Good morning April, Lovvvvve the blue n white, so pretty! This pattern looks just like, “Summer in the Park Revamped” BUT, that pattern only had 3 strips! And was done tube style. I really love this one better, thanks for sharing! ❤️

Yes. It is OK to be square. Your blue and white scraps are on point (they now look like Diamonds). "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend". I love your blue and white Diamonds quilt top. Wonderful. This looks fun and easy. Thank you.

I like the diamond that you put in the white negative space! I personally would have balanced the quilt with a set of the half square triangles on both sides. Beautiful color choices! I would do a small solid border and then a larger measurement of the pioneer women fabric for the borders.

@jo-anneburt695 6 месяцев назад

I think the quilt looks good. I think the solid border first to give the eye a place to rest. However I think more of a royal blue or medium blue solid might blend more with your strips. On my screen the two blues seemed a different tone than quilt blocks. Hope that helps. Anyone you give it to will love it. As you said who doesn’t love a blue quilt.

Just curious. What do you do with all the quilts you make since they aren’t large enough for a bed? Do you ever make bed quilts? And if you don’t mind me adding my thoughts on this quilt….I would have added at least one more row so that your blocks are symmetrical. I guess I have a little bit of OCD because I couldn’t leave it with just a half block on one side. lol I do like the process tho and God knows I have a ton of scraps I can use to make one of my own. Only I would make a bed size.

@aprilscraftroom 6 месяцев назад

Hi @ksharpe - When I find the time to finish all the quilts I make, they will be donated to Project Linus and nursing homes and anywhere else I can find. I rarely make a bed size unless it is specifically requested. I think I have a short attention span - lol. And I agree - I would love to add a row to the bottom but I don't have enough jelly roll strips to do that. I have one last hope that I can find some of the strips in my precuts bin. Wish me luck! The half diamonds don't bother me, but I did notice them. :-) I hope you share your quilt. You can email me a picture if you think about it. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. :-) April
