This is the most inspiring quilt design and tutorial I have seen in a long long time - thank you so much for posting and sharing!! I have a great stack of fabrics that has been waiting for a project like this. I'm so excited to get started! This is just the sort of quilt pattern/tutorial I love - you showed us exactly how its done, and then we get to take off and play from there, knowing that its going to turn out darling. It's truly a creative and original idea for a scrap quilt, and your fabrics and colors are so fun and vibrant and cute. Thank you bunches!!

When I looked at the picture of your quilt, there is no way I would have guessed how it was put together. The method is really cool. Thanks for the great photos showing how to use scraps in a creative way.

Thanks! This is the closest pattern I can find to the Sochi Olympics patchwork design. Yours is based on overlapping triangles and the other looks more like overlapping diamonds. I'm going to see if I can adapt your technique to diamonds. Wish me luck.

Thank you for this tutorial. I am a novice quilter but kept thinking there had to be a way of using all the little scrap pieces. Found your tutorial, now I can make your units as I work on the main project. Fantastic:).

I have just started making this quilt. My first block looked wrong and I couldn't work out what I'd done, but then I realized I had cut a piece with 60 degree angles as instructed, but attached it along the straight edge (difficult to go against the grain - pardon the pun!). Now I have mastered it and have completed 8 blocks without further hiccups and I'm enjoying the process immensely. Not wasting as much fabric as I was in the beginning either....
Thankyou for the wonderful instructions and for sharing your inspiration.
Any suggestions for how to quilt it?

I made a wall hanging from this tutorial using a layer cake. Every time I look at it I remember how much FUN it was to make. Thank you for sharing!
