Using the bowl for the shorter strips is a wonderful tip. You are the most organized quilter and everything you make is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.

I moved to live this Country three years ago, original I from COSTA RICA 🇨🇷 is a small country in Central America. For eight months ago I am follow you and I have been buying some of your fabric they are so beautiful. I am your fan, I love all that you teach. I am learning with you two important things one to sew and another one to understand more the English language. My apologies if I made a mistake my English, for now, isn’t fluent but I am learning 💝💝

Oh my! Your red Singer is amazing! This is so organized even though it is scrappy. It really makes sense. Thank you for this tutorial!

i am in love with your little red machine

@donnadelany1797 3 года назад

Lori! Your vintage sewing machines are beautiful! Red is my fav color so when I saw this red sewing machine it made my eyes so happy! :) LOL! Anyway, thanks for another fab tutorial! Lori, I have scraps for days and this is a fab way for me to use them to make an adorable scrappy quilt! Scrappy is my fav! I have been quilting since 1990 and I think I love quilting more with each passing year! My sewing room is my happy place and I am addicted to fabric! LOL! You are one of my favorite fabric designers! I love your new Prim collection! I love the happy colors you use! Anyway, Thanks for sharing and blessings to you!

I was expecting to see the aqua machine, and she threw us for a loop with a ruby machine and matching chair!

The Brownie Troop are going to love this. A String quilt is a sewing project they can do with their Moms. Thank you Lori. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas

@arlisarohloff2622 3 года назад

First one I ever made was in ‘92 in Florida. We were just visiting family and the neighbor was a quilter. She invited me over and we both made a quilt that day! Her, the expert - me, the nervous but willing newbie. I still have the quilt. She let me use all her Christmas scraps. Best day ever in my sewing life. I’ve been called a pro now a days but back then I was skeptical about making quilt tops, much less the whole quilt.

@pamelacarter-wiley2644 3 года назад

I have just discovered your RU-vid channel Lori. I watch, learn, and enjoy many others, but you definitely get the prize for easy, clear instructions and ORGANIZATION. I can only aspire to your level of order in my sewing room. Thanks for all the great designs and sewing tips!

@donnawhite644 3 года назад

First let me start with saying how adorable the red Minnie Mouse Singer is, I just love it. I have been wanting to make a string quilt and your instructions are spot on for me, I just love how you keep the fabric strips organized. I did see string quilt that my great grandma made from wool scraps she must have had from making clothes, they would use wool because they lived in Colorado and would have had cold winters, my grandma had them on the beds in her trailer and we loved them because you never got cold and the weight felt good. Thank you for sharing your talents and your darling sewing space your videos are so calming to watch.

@beckyb8808 3 года назад

Love the string blocks, and love tearing off the paper! Love snapping beans too, must have an inner, subconscious, destructive streak.

@rebeccaguyton8687 2 года назад

Not only did I enjoy the tutorial, I also enjoyed being with you in your sewing room. You have surrounded yourself with soulful inspiration. The environment alone sparks joy and speaks of the love you have for your grandmother.

@Kitkat-mn5ud 3 года назад

Lori love the idea of using interfacing. Thank you for letting us know that you dont need anything else but backing.

@April-CraftyBluebonnetDesigns 3 года назад

Love the forgiving nature of this and the fact it is scrappy but no fuss with seam matching. Thanks for sharing.

@karenjordan6643 3 года назад

I've been making quilts for 25 years, but I am learning soooooo much from your tutorials. And, I love all the color in your sewing space. It's like a cuteness explosion happened in there!!

@missruthguest 3 года назад

I am so glad you set up a RU-vid channel. Such a great teacher, and very informative.. My only issue ...... Weekly, I could watch you for hours everyday. Your projects are beautiful. Until next week 😀

Hi Lori. I've watched this several times, and love what you're doing. Thanks for explaining it so well.

@pamelakramer1686 3 года назад

Thank you so much for all your time and teaching showing us so much. I am 61 and started sewing with my Grandma and Mom when I was 10. So a lot time ago. Your videos bring back so many memories to me. I still have my very first quilt I made with my Grandma. I love this block. Thank you again.

@brontebenoit6181 3 года назад

I am in awe of your limitless creativity!

@whoawie 3 года назад

Love the tutorial and thanks again Lori. I have done this method with batting, but make sure it is 100% cotton batting. If you use polyester, even 80-20, the polyester distorts as it is shifting and melting when heated with a hot iron.

@SC-hj3hr 3 года назад

Yes, cotton or wool (and poly shouldn't be used on bedding as it is a fire hazard.)

@sewbecca 3 года назад

I love how organized your scraps are!

@pamelakramer1686 3 года назад

Sew Becca Me too. Wish mine were like that.

@abitofsewing3750 3 года назад

I Was thinking that also, wish my scraps were this organized🤦🏽 gotta do better😂

@sewbecca 3 года назад

I try every now and again to organize my scraps and “be like Lori”. And then I give up. Until I see her working with scraps. Then I start the process all over again. It’s a cycle.

@patriciaguevara8793 3 года назад

Love it! Never thought of using interfacing. My granddaughter, who I am teaching off and on, is going to love this!!

@barbarachase7725 3 года назад

I have never seen interfacing used as the foundation. I love that idea! Several years ago I made a string quilt using muslin as a foundation… It was so much fun to make. I really enjoyed seeing your red Featherweight. I have a black one that was my mother’s and I learn to sew on that machine. I recently brought it out to play... Such a cute and reliable machine with good memories😊

@smallfootprint2961 2 года назад

Are they painted? Were they all black in the beginning?

@daniellesimone7769 3 года назад

One good point I got from your video is the speed with which these strips go together! I will go thru my scraps and get them pre-cut to these strip sizes; I think this will speed up future projects! Thank you for sharing.

@pattik2046 3 года назад

@kimworkman2425 3 года назад

Really neat idea

@denisepineda1788 3 года назад

This is a wonderful way to use up my scraps. I probably need to sew a couple more quilts in order to have enough variety as I am a fairly new quilter. Thanks a bunch!!

@katiecunningham6717 3 года назад

This is so much nicer than using paper as a foundation. Thank you for the wonderful tip

@kathleenking9777 3 года назад

Hello Lori, love your new machine! Thank you for sharing the awesome tute, your creativity is much appreciated. Being productive with scraps is one of my fave things about being a quilter.

@diannasmith1313 3 года назад

So cute! Thanks, Lori ❤️

@jessydoescrafts 8 месяцев назад

I'm brand new to the hobby, not using batting is something I'm so pleased I don't have to do, I didn't realise it was optional depending on what I want to create. Thank you for this video x

@petmomful2260 3 года назад

Such a cute quilt! I love your bright fabric prints! Using interfacing and just leaving it in is a great idea. I will definitely try that.

@KittenBowl1 Год назад

I LOVE that I don’t have to worry about seams matching and I can use any width strips to create a block! And it makes scrappy one! Thanks Lori for wonderful inspiration! I now use tailor’s clapper for flatter block! I’m buying dry iron too! 😊

@marionbartley214 2 года назад

I'm so glad I found this video !!! Because one I like the idea of scrapy quilts. And how they are just put together. I just ordered all of your trim it quilt rulers. From amazon. I like the fact that the seam line is included in the ruler. No more adding a 1/4" on to cutting out squares. after watching and hearing that the interfacing sew in. Your brand, Which I have it's great, I realized. when listening to your video. Can be used as a batting for quilts. Making them shift less. Than warm & natural batting. I haven't used interfacing with warm & natural batting before. But wish I would have known about it. Before starting on this quilt I'm working on now. Thank you for this great video, I'm sure other quilters already know this fact. But I diden't so now future quilts will be less of a pain. When it comes to shifting. Thanks again Lori Marion Bartley

@CCTippers 3 года назад

I love this idea, perfect pillow gift for daughters birthday. 💕

@meganjones1253 3 года назад

I'm really enjoying your sew your stash series. String scraps are my favorite way to use my scraps. They are useful for so many projects. A friend of mine dumps her strings in a bag and just uses them as she pulls them out! Her creations are just lovely. I'm not that adventurous. The quilt on your design wall is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

@TheatreAbsolute 3 года назад

Excellent tutorial - really well put together and I'm going to have a go...sometimes you want an easy technique to free your mind but to still be stitching and this is it! Thank you. xx

@laurenroller887 3 года назад

Wow I never considered using a stabilizer. This is great! I'm going to try it with my batting scraps. Can't wait. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

@kymburriss4260 3 года назад

I did a queen sized quilt this way, used an old sheet for foundation. I love this method !

@abitofsewing3750 3 года назад

I would love to start quilting, just don't know where to start🤦🏽

@thewaldens90 3 года назад

@@abitofsewing3750 If you can sew a straight line, you can quilt! I encourage you to start something ... you'll love it. I'd suggest a small first project - maybe 12" squares in a tic-tac-toe setting. And your local quilt shop owner would be more than happy to help you out. There are often beginner classes too. Have fun!!

@pattysherwood7091 3 года назад

It crossed my mind to use flannel as an interfacing. Have you noticed how wonderful old sheets are? They are strong, soft, real non GMO cotton

@cindywagner4623 3 года назад

I have sheets I’ve just had ready for quilt backs. One is fuzzy so it just volunteered itself for foundation. Thanks for the great idea.

@joycej9415 4 месяца назад

I love your videos. This is the most fun block to make. A few years ago I started making string quilts in between working on wedding rings. The first one I made on muslin. It was queen sized and ended up so heavy. My son wanted a king size. So I got lightweight interfacing for my foundation. Even though the quilt is larger, it is much lighter weight! I have never made one without batting but my next one will be so I can use for a summer quilt since I live in the desert.

@1tinac 3 года назад

@suehorn4182 3 года назад

I SEW want to do this quilt. I have the interfacing and hope to start soon. Your videos are SEW inspiring ❤️

@addieanderson2043 3 года назад

Lori I made your lovely strip blocks. I made 4 and put the blocks to for a pattern. I used the interfacing idea but I used a thick stiff interfacing I purchased a JoAnns. I was able to cut it the exact size of by 81/2” blocks. The heave interfacing was easy to sew on, but a little hard to turn. Thank you for your great video.

@perkyperkins7768 3 года назад

You are so clever, the quilt is adorable. I ordered the little cross stitch sew she did pattern. I am stitching it now. See you next week, stay well and sew on!

@Tillys_Travels 3 года назад

What lovely clean colours your fabrics are! And they are similar in design size too. That's why they go so well together. You have a real eye for colour. Am definitely going to do this, but in pinks and whites for my vicar. She loves pink!

I have started making a block from each quilt I make. It will be my memory quilt. I also make a little house block (MSQC pattern) if I have enough scraps. Thanks for the tip of using interfacing, I don’t enjoy removing paper.
