Another great bunch of quilts you've shared with us, Lynne. I'm really liking the aqua and brown version of "Beads" quilt a lot but the very bright "every-color-in-the-scrap-basket" beauty hanging to the right of it wins the prize for the day!

Oh great job! I 2nd Judy's vote - you've given me another idea - put it in my idea OneNote for future. Wasn't the bead pattern great? I'll definitely be making that one again.

Lynne, I didn’t have a plan for it. I just wanted it made to empty the tub. The younger gal who helps her mother run the retreat just really loves it! So I am giving it to her to finish and have! She loves scrappy quilts, says she just can’t make herself do one though.
so, she is a happy camper! My scrap top is finished, and I don’t have to find a backing, quilter, binding, etc! Lol.....it is off my plate!

She does her video with strip piecing, would go super fast. Mine was a bit longer since I was fussy cutting. but still fun.

My vote also goes to the bright scrappy one on the right, as the best of this bunch. I love it. Thanks for showing us!

I like this quilt that Donna posted recently. It's actually not a new design - I took a class a long time ago to get a little lesson on this very simple technique. I like the one she does with 10-inch squares, but I also like to insert the "chopsticks" into a block that is already scrappy.
I really enjoy Donna's videos because she is so efficient and professional in her presentations. Lately I lose so much patience with YouTubers who are NOT very efficient or professional. And don't you wish you had a pressing and cutting area as big as they have?! And one of those "industrial strength" steam irons!

And wow, she has a very pretty new Spring quilt - Super Poppin' Tropics Quilt.

agreed, she does some of the best videos out there. No "ums" constantly. And no silly personal chit chat at the beginning. A good balance of friendly and information. I like the lady from Missouri quilts too but watching her she's kind of sloppy on cutting, sewing & pressing sometimes- sort of like being in a house with a crooked picture - makes me anxious. Though I'm guessing she's just rushing a bit to keep the video moving.
Regarding pressing area, I'm pretty spoiled with the big boards I put on my LA table. The part I'm jealous of Donna Jordan is her just grabbing stuff off the shelf - including the precuts and then not worrying about saving the waste. I know she's trying to "sell" the precuts - plus they make the video go faster. But I agonize over the waste way too much, especially given I have more fabric than I will sew in my life time. I've been working on Lynne's arrow quilt and found myself trying to "skootch" the large flying geese piece so that I could also cut the 2x2 from that large waste triangle. Had to lecture myself a few times to Let it go - Cue the Disney sound track..... There were a few fabrics that I've had for YEARS that there was only about a 10x10 piece or smaller left that went into the scrap drawer reluctantly. It always makes me sad when I use the last of any fabric, no matter how many quilts it's been in. Sniff.... the very last of the purple snakes & big ice cream cones...
