I want to make ALL of them - so beautiful! Thank you for this Trunk Show!

These are all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

fabulous, thank you

Your quilts are all beautiful thank you for sharing them.

Beautiful quilts!

What if I love almost all of them? Fascinating

Love your quilts and that you shared them with us. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

Your quilts are wonderful!

I love the scrappy HST quilt and I will be getting your pattern when it’s ready.

Thank you algorithm, I’ve subscribed. 🎉

Love love scrappy quilts. I do a lot of 4patch and 9patch scrappy that start from sew offs.

Love your scrappy quilts! I like to crumbquilt and trip(s) around the world is my leader-enderproject for my little scrappy squares

Hi Michelle, I returned to thank you again for your help about the ruler you used for the pineapple quilt. It is now sitting in my ruler rack just waiting for to to finish a wedding quilt and then make a birthday quilt for a grandson. Really excited as a goal has been to stretch and make more solid fabric quilts. I had made one in 2021. I just needed the right inspiration. Thanks bunches

Lovely quilts. A great trunk show. Thank you.

Each one is stunning and truly inspiring. Love your use of colours and quilting stitch design. So well done !!

Great quilts ! Love scrappy quilts

Lots of inspiration here!❤

Your Apple Core quilt is gorgeous! They all are - but this one stood out because of how different a style it is for you. Love it!!

Thank you

Love them all!

I have tried the apple core . Needless to say I only made a pillow😜. But happy I tried.

I love scrappy quilts. Yours are so good.

I just found you, looking for scrap- buster projects. All your quilts are lovely, but the reverse Irish chain made me gasp out loud! 😂

Fabulous quilts!!!! Having been a garment sewer as well as quilter curves are not a huge issue for me. That said a 1/4" seam is truly that much easier to do curves with than the much larger one in garments. I do not pin with curves in quilting. Instead I hold the 2 pieces apart and only bring them together just before the pressure foot. My right hand holds the lower piece on the bed and my left the upper piece a few inches above....really gently. Let the feed dogs do the work and your accurate cutting. Drop the needle at seam for the next curve and try swapping your hands. It feels weird but it does come together and go slowly! 🙂

I would love to do a quilt similar to that postage stamp quilt, but use 2.5 inch squares instead. I'm not opposed to using much smaller squares, but I already have so many 2.5 inch strips and squares and would like to use some of them in this kind of quilt. I really like the simple construction, and letting all those little pieces of fabric do the color work for you.

Awesome

I love how you have taken some traditional blocks and made them have a very modern look. Your choice of scraps almost has a curated look, especially the half log cabin quilt. That is my favorite.

I recently got handed a whole bunch of pre cut “flower pot” trapezoid wedge pieces and I’ve since bought a multi sized tool to make more because it was such fun. The effect, colour wise, was like your Apple core quilt, but the stitching is straight, so much easier. Assembled in light / dark pairs, then rows, then all together. I thought I’d try one where I make a feature of the shape of the flower pot, putting a floral or pale piece above it and perhaps appliqué or embroidering a flower there, so it looks like flowers in pots, just here and there across the quilt.

I love, love, LOVE scrappy quilts! Yours are so beautiful! Keep them coming! XO

Beautiful quilts! Thanks for showing these! Very inspiring.💕

Great trunk show! Your quilts are beautiful! More! More! More! 😀

Very beautiful collection. Thank you for sharing.

I recently found your channel when you did the Golden Ratio quilt. Each subsequent video has me intrigued. I can barely wait to see your upcoming quilts from this video. In my opinion, your work is of high quality because you explain each step clearly and offer helpful information on how to correct mistakes. 👏 👏 👏. Your friend from New Mexico, Carla 🎶 💖 💐

OK you have done beautiful quilts. I love HST I could sew them all day. Especially small ones from my scraps.

Thank you for sharing. Love your quilts! ❤️🤗

What a great assortment AND SO MUCH WORK!😅. Thanks for sharing.

❤❤❤

Beautiful quilts. I do have a favorite though. ❤️. I also rarely use solids in my quilts. This past winter I finally made a bold graphic one using a pattern for one grandson and loved it. I just might be enticed to make another from being influenced with your Pineapple quilt. Thanks bunches. Post note: Just went back to this quilt. For me, your choice for the center square and the border treatment is what nailed the quilt.

Love them. Great job! I love scrappy quilting.

You have made some fabulous quilts 🤩 Think I’d like to try making some of them - one of these days 👏👏🇬🇧

Quilt 6 is also called "spools" and I am currently piecing one that someone else had cut the pieces. I can hand piece curves much faster than machine piecing and not have to take seams out to resew. The lady had starched them all, which created a challenge and I do not recommend starching curved pieces.

The Apple Core block always reminds me of panty liners. That block is not for me! 😂

Are you sure that "circle of Illusion" is 60 degrees? It looks like a kaleidoscope. I'm not sure the angle, but 60 degrees would have 6 not 8 points coming together (Based on the 360 of a circle.)

I have never tried the Apple Core pattern.

One of my first quilts was an Apple Core quilt, and it could definitely go into a magazine as Quilting gone wrong. I had no experience with curves, and everything was wrong about it…did I say wrong? It was tragic. I finally just threw away the quilt top, because there was no saving it! But now I do a lot of drunkards path, and I love curves but I would never do an Apple core quilt again. EVER!

So beautiful. Irish chain is one pattern that I find myself going back to a lot. I had recently wondered what it would look like if I reversed the background color. I was so happy to see the one you made, I love it! I also love illusion quilts.

No picture on utube.

Beautiful, but not for me

What a treasure of quilts you have made. So grateful that you shared these quilts. I have been quilting now for 40 years and have a lot of scraps that seems to grow somehow. I will definitely try some of your suggestions 😊

I like the circle illusion quilt best. I have never tried 60-degree triangles, but I would love to try. I like 1/2 log cabins too, but my favorite scrap-busting design to make is the rail fence.

I absolutely loved each one. They are so, so beautiful. You are so talented.

They are all so beautiful! I particularly like Quilt #1 "I Thought I Saw a Tweety bird", and Quilt #8 "Scrappy Half Square Triangles". I do also like the "Apple Core" quilt. That really looks challenging. I have the same template, but I've never worked up the nerve to make anything with it. I'm getting a little better with curved seams, but they still give me headaches.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

What beautiful ways to use scraps. They are all awesome. 🙋👍

Wow!

Beautiful quilts, Michelle.... I did subscribe hoping you have a tutorial on any one of them. Inspiration plus!

Brenda just mentioned you so I haven't seen much of your site, but as a scrap quilter myself, I WILL BE BACK to see more, especially after seeing your trunk show. Have made a couple of those myself but my fav in your trunk show was the Island Chain--love the bright colors

Is quilt #7 (reverse Irish chain) four-patch blocks? I love it and I have a giant pile of Civil War reproductions that would look fabulous like this. Thanks!

oops, NOT 60 degree triangles on that kaleidoscope. They have to be 45 degree if there are 8 wedges.

Love them all but intrigued with postage stamp as I like the break up of white. I hate making the log cabin because the method i use makes the blocks wave but when it is done and quilted, I want to another one! I now need to try the apple core (maybe in a small version). I do love a challenge! Thank you sharing. I just found you & subscribed!

superb, thank you for sharing, so encouraging and inspiring

What reference book did you mention on one of your videos.

I just got the apple core template and now I am quite compelled to give it a go. Your quilts are lovely. Thank you for sharing. I am also intrigued by the circle illusion. A tutorial on that one would be appreciated.

Awesome!

Great show

very nice!!

I love them all. But my favorite is the log cabin. I am currently working on a quilt that I am using the log cabin scrappy with purples and pink for my step daughter that is handicapped and I used the "SPELL IT with moda fabric alphabet blocks " to put her name in it. ❤

Hi Michelle, I'm logging your solid colored Pineapple into my favorite program...One Note. Been doing some research with pineapple rulers vs paper piecing and of traditional piecing. I now realize another reason I love your version is the logs appear larger than what I have traditionally seen. Now this could be your setting and/or the solid choice. I have another adult grandson that I would love to be able to make this quilt for his birthday. Hoping you would be able to let me know how you achieved the size logs as that would appeal to Kaleb. I just showed a screenshot to hubby saying, 'who do you think I want to make this quilt for? Yup, he guessed correctly. Thanks in advance. Happy quilting and I definitely subscribed. I

Thanks for showing us your beautiful scrap quilts

I think my favourite is the circle illusion. All very nice.

Wow! Your scrappy quilts are gorgeous! I’ve been thinking about making the apple core using English paper piecing. I love to make miniature quilts from my scraps 😃
