Use more fabrics in your quilt | No more two color quilts | Scrap Quilting | Fun with color 

Such wonderful strategies and beautiful results. I will no longer be held back by another fruitless search for a perfect match! Thank you!!!!

I LOVE this leaf quilt, your dashing idea, and most of all…the FREEDOM you give yourself!!! 👍🏻👏🎉

You are speaking my language! Your quilts are so lovely!

Thank you for your video! Your leaf quilt is phenomenal! Happy scrappy quilting!

Thanks to you! I now have a new mantra💕 NOT “Does it match?” But… “Does it coordinate?” Thankful to find this chanel💕🧵

I think the subtle variations between the coordinated fabrics adds additional interest to the finished quilt and also is a great insurance from running out of fabric.

You are so right! I also adopted this idea years ago, and it works so well!

Thank you and thank you for showing actual quilts that you made as examples! Your leaf quilt ended up wonderful! Love it!

I love your happy accident! I'll never lose this perspective. ❤❤❤

I love your philosophy.

I love it. It’s gorgeous

I think it is a gift to be able to coordinate. I would love to be confident about this!

Magnificent Leaf Quilt! Love this quilt! Can't wait for the pattern to be available!! Love scrappy quilts!

I love the idea of using all the different reds. I did that on my Ohio Star Quilt. Thanks for sharing

The Queen of Scraps shares the secret sauce!

Just found you after watching MANY quilting youtubes over the past year. Thank you so much for this video. It was a game-changer for me. I'm 76 and have been quilting for a year after not sewing since the early 1970's. I've completed 2 quilts, have one waiting to bind, one waiting a border, two UFO's, and ideas for another six quilts. My most recent quilt had the problem of not enough fabric. Three weeks after buying the sashing material at JoAnn's, I cut it out and started putting it together ( it was an I SPY quilt of 5 inch squares around a panel with sashing between squares and rows of squares. After sewing the rows together, I started to attach the rows together and realized I didn't have enough sashing. I went back to JoAnn's (actually I went to four different stores in the same day) to get more. Each store had the same color name from the same manufacturer, but none were the same dye batch, so NONE of them matched. Hence, my first UFO. After watching this video, I'm ready to get it out and finish it with other material. Thank you for the permission to mix materials! Hoping to not make the same mistake again. Also, your leaf quilt was really beautiful. I hope to find a pattern for it on your website! You are very knowledgeable, and encouraging. Looking forward to learning more from you on future youtubes. Keep up the great work!!!

You're a genius!

from Gerry- What a great idea and yet so simple. I'm glad I found your channel. Blessings.

That is a stunning quilt

I’ve always done what you’re suggesting. Thank you for your video.

Gorgeous quilts.I love digging through my stash and making something beautiful out of bits and pieces.

Just found your channel.looking forward to viewing all your videos.

Your feed came up on YT today. Been binge watching. I absolutely love your practical and fun approach to quilting. :) The leaf quilt is stunning.

I have become very fond of strip quilts. I use 5-8 “ strips with a21/2 “ strip of black. I use many beautiful fabrics esp the larger prints and florals on black. They go together fast and I have a longarm quilter so they quilt fast and people love them. I get to use some of my hundreds of yards of fabric.

I absolutely love the leaf quilt. I have seen smaller leaves but never this large. Your whole video is very informative. Hank you so much.

Thank you! Now to tackle my stash.

I like this style. I shop in my stash!

This is a great approach, thank you for sharing. Another option is just sew the cut pieces back together. Its funny that we patch fabric together to make quilts, yet we never think to just join two pieces of the same fabric to make a big enough piece to cut what we need.

It's beautiful and awesome. You're very talented.

A revolutionary video!!❤❤ I love your leaf quilt, and your advice to co ordinate. I haven't really liked the 'blandness' of using just one colour/ shade. I love the idea of pulling multiples of the same colour type.

Gorgeous quilts!! And a great idea! Thank you🎉

Gorgeous, great advice thanks.

Terrific ideas!!💡🧵

Beautiful coordinating leaves

I like your color coordination technique, it makes so much sense to me. I've been collecting fabrics, when I can catch a sale, and have a small collection of monochromatics not really knowing what I'll do with them right away as I am a newbie. And it all began because I can't afford to purchase large amounts of yardage at once. Id like to try your border technique, which will use up a nice amount of my stash. All of the quilts in this video are stunners; thank you for sharing 😊

Beautiful quilts! Your color choices are warm, love them!

Good advice! I love mixing coordinating fabrics. It can make a simple pattern look smashing!

That really is a beautiful quilt.

Thank you💝

Hey this is really beautiful. Thanks for the video

Love your idea!!

Great advice

Gorgeous

My fabric purchased / quilt plans must spend an appropriate amount of time in purgatory…😳😂🤣😂🤣

Beautiful

I think i already do that. It is indeed a great way to use what is in your stash. I have no made many quilts yet. About 5 or so.

Gorgeous leaf quilt. I've been doing scrappy quilts for a little while, I love the look of them. But I do like your idea of blending colours. Food for thought, thank you.

What I do is bolt my fabric on comic boards, use a 2 x 3 notecard with the name of fabric or line, manufacturer and where I purchased, Yardage amount. Then I clip that card with an alligator clip to my fabric. I've actually found the exact 10+ yr old fabric because I knew the info above. Maybe it won't work in every case but it's great info to have if you decide to try to find the same or another fabric in that line to coordinate with what you have. It works well for batiks as many batiks don't have the selvage info. It seems like it would be hard to do every time you purchase fabric, but if you get into the habit, it just becomes normal practice. Plus, by adding the yardage amounts, when selecting fabric for a project you already know how much is on the bolt. I also subtract any yardage I take on that card so I know what's left.

Great ideas

Very nice. The leaf quilt is so pretty. The pieced sashing looks perfect with the leaves because you used the same colors but a longer strip of pieced fabric so it let's you rest on one color and go "ooh and aah" over the next length of color.. And one wouldn't have to overthink because you are using the same colors as in the leaves. I often make something with fabric many years later and we change our mind on the pattern for it. Or it kind of looks dated or we change our taste. I like this kind of controlled scrappy idea.

Great advice!! The leaf quilt is lovely!

Great ideas, thank you for sharing!

🤩🙏 for the great vid - FABRIC COORDINATORS UNITE!! - YT suggested this one to me & was the first one of yours I watched - brilliant sharing of knowledge & examples 🥰 Thx again!

Lovely ❤❤❤❤

First thing I noticed was the sashing. Quilt is stunning. Changes an almost boring top to fantastic.

I like all your fabrics. I swear I’m colour matching inept but I have friends who help. Colour matching would be very hard for me

Absolutely Beautiful. I love it. I just gave it a thumbs up and subscribed. How do I get the notifications? I have liked and subscribed to many you tube videos, hit the bell, and never received a notification that I am aware of. You have a great talent to do what you do. I love this quilt as well as one I watched on another video of yours.

A quilting friend of mine fell into the trap of "cut your leftover fabric into precut sizes like 2½ inches and 5 inches. So she cut out her quilt pieces, and then she cut everything leftover into two and a half inch strips. And of course the inevitable happened; she made a mistake, and she didn't have enough fabric in big enough pieces to cut another square or whatever it was she needed. And as you said it was older fabric, and she couldn't find it anywhere else. I didn't have anything in my stash, and she couldn't find it online. I don't know if she ever finished that quilt.

Love the leaf quilt. I am a new quilter, is this one difficult ?

Is there an actual pattern for the leaf quilt? It is stunning. I would love to use up some of my scraps.

Just found you. My goodness you are a wealth of great ideas. Your less quilt is gorgeous. Where can I find it. Am 88 years old. Thanks

Great video. What about the background ?

Loved this, just disappointed you didn’t spread the red and white quilt out so we could see all of it.

I actually met a woman who claimed that she didn't have a stash because she only purchased exactly what she needed for a project and never had any leftovers. Of course, I looked at her like she was from another planet. What if you cut your fabric incorrectly? What if the project instructions were wrong? Just couldn't relate...

Beautiful
