April I love watching you! Thanks for letting us see your fur babies and including them😀 I have two Bassett hounds that hang out with me in my sewing room
Love your videos, April! You keep it so real.😂😂😂 Between the pets and your comments--"I wasn't going to give it to you anyway!" Thank you for a feel good video and tutorial!
Whether the solid is on the inside or outside and the print is on the outside or inside 😳🐈, I always enjoy your and Oliver’s videos. Then the little barker standing there frozen, LOL, and you got a quilt out of it❣️
I love your idea of sizing up from charms to 10” squares! I gravitate to big blocks so I just love this. They come together so fast. I don’t think it needs any border! Happy New Year April!!
First of all I would like to compliment Oliver on his gymnastics. I definitely know what it's like to have a kitty cat helping you. I run a rescue and sometimes it gets a little crazy so I have to close myself in the sewing room so I can get things done without all the gymnastics and squirrely actions. Secondly I love the patchwork quilt charm pack I would think that maybe if this were my I probably would have added another vertical row because it's too long but not wide enough I don't think so that is my opinion however I love to watching you and your kitty and your doggy and learn a lot when you put these quilts together. Thank you very much for sharing😊
Thanks for showing us a quick 9 patch. The bigger the blocks the better! A border would look good but I think it would make it too big. 60x90 is a good size. I also smiled at your comment about "I wasn't going to give it to you anyway!" BTW my husband caught a bit of one of your videos recently while I was watching it and he said "oh, she's cute!" He doesn't usually make those kinds of comments. So feel flattered. LOL
I just love your quilts. I made your fat quarters quilt and now it’s one of my favorites to make because I love fat quarters. I made Christmas quilt and my Halloween quilt.
I love this quilt and how you supersized it. I would definitely add a border to it. BTW…. Oliver is AWESOME! I have 4 cats so I know what it’s like trying to get anything done in my sewing room. It can be quite challenging! lol. 🐈💕
Love the colors in this quilt. Appreciate that you took a pattern for charm squares and sized up to 10” squares. Shows you can alter a pattern any way you like. Very freeing. I like border, so would put a border around it. Happy new year!
I love this pattern. I have the charm pack from Fat Quarter Shop and would like to try your pattern. Happy New Year have a great and blessed 2024!!! Looking forward to another year of great ideas from one of the best quilters I know!!
Very bright and fun! Love it! 😍 Oliver is a great co-host and helper!😂🤣😂🤣 Love to see him performing his "fabric inspections and quality control" duties on camera. 💗🐈💗🐈💗 Thank you for sharing. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and I hope that everyone has a safe, happy and blessed New Year! ❄⛄🎄🎅🏼🤶🎄⛄❄🎉🥂🍾🎉
So much fun sewing with the four footed babies😂. Love the bright colors. I don't think it needs a border, but if you decide to put one on I think a narrow one would be best.❤
I love the quilt and your assistant was fun to watch (because he's not my assistant) 😸. I have my own quality control specialist who insists on sitting on my sewing machine table.
Love the bright colors, April! I think it does need a border just to make it a little wider. 10” squares are so fun to use, but this would be fun to make with charm squares too. I have lots of them, so I make try this with the 5” squares and see what happens with that. Won’t be quite so big, but that’s ok. Happy new Year to you and all your little helpers. Not sure they are much help…..but they are fun to watch!
Here you go again. You introduced me to upsizing blocks. Now you have given me a pattern that will work perfectly because since the introduction to upsizing I have been cutting 10” blocks anytime I have the cutting mat out. Small oops than no works in my favor, I think, when it comes to quilt math. I had forgotten that my 10” square is really 10.5”. I had a good sized stack when I remembered and I made the executive decision to stick with the oops size. TFS! PS, I organized an iPad mini in a neon green cover 3 years ago so well that I still have not located it.
Love the super. Size quilt block and you make it seem so easy and so much fun in your helper Oliver is just the cats meow enjoy seeing him too I love all your animals have a happy new year
Love all the bright colors...and Oliver! He's obviously a big help! I'm new to quilting so big block designs are great for me. I really enjoy all your quilts and videos. Keep 'em coming! Have a great day!😊
Love your videos, you not only give great instructions, you are entertaining in your presentation. I have just recently started watching your TH-cam videos. I do love your Mickey Mouse shirt too!
Your fur babies are cute. And I like this quilt. Thanks for sharing. And if I was making this I would add a white or black to frame it in as a border. God's blessing over you in the new year.
Hi April! I had to laugh because when you put the puppy on the table I showed my husband and I said normally it's Oliver and I guess I summoned him for you. 😂 I also have a paws in everything helper her name is Poe. In fact she loves my craft room so much she will sit in it and cry for me until I go work on something so she can play. I have a pro tip, I got her a basket and it sits on the corner of my cutting table and when she's not helping measure, stabilizing my sewing machine by lying on top of it or demanding salvage cut offs to play with she is snoozing or sitting in her "Supervisor's Office" the basket really helps keep her out of my way and out from under the rotary cutter and sewing needle.
Love the four pawed helpers! Our chocolate lab likes to lay on the floor by my chair when I’m sewing. Have to check for tail and paws before moving my chair.
I love all the fabric April!! Im a brights gal myself. It really doesn’t need to be any bigger but maybe a small stop border. I love the idea of orange border with black binding on that!! ❤
Great minds think alike!! I had already downloaded the pattern but not made it yet. Thanks for confirming how easy it will be. (Probably with 5" squares I've accumulated by cutting up scraps at the end of other quilts.) I never buy charm packs! In fact I'm really working to use up my stash so I'm not buying quiting fabric at all.
I love seeing your kitty cats and goofy - they're absolutely delightful, especially helpful Oliver. The quilt looks great too, but I would add a border just to frame the quilt and give a little bit of width. However, I'm a novice so I wouldn't take a lot of notice of my ideas or opinion. Have a very happy and safe new year. Deb xx
I like this a lot. The fabrics colors are spectacular. I am currently designing a disappearing 9 patch for my daughter using 10" squares cut from FQs. I am planning to sash the squares with black grunge. The blocks will also be huge. I am planning to make the quilt 3X3.5 blocks so it won't be square. Adding a half block to your sides would keep it from being so long and skinny. Love your process.
I love cats Oliver is beautiful, love your videos.
Thank you
April, you made my day! Your comment at the end "I wasn't going to give it to you anyway!" made me laugh out loud. I love watching your videos.
thank you
I never would have thought of using the larger squares for a charm pattern. Clever Giirl! I love it & yes to a border.
❤️
April you are hands down my favorite person to quilt with!!!! I just love you
AWWW--- Thank you so much!
I just love your pets and videos.
thank you
Love Oliver. He seems so soft and cuddly.

April I love watching you! Thanks for letting us see your fur babies and including them😀 I have two Bassett hounds that hang out with me in my sewing room
Oh wow! love it!
Oliver is one of a kind!! Who wouldn’t love him?
lol. right!
You are a Hoot lady!!! I love your sense of humor and very real relating to what we all go through with some of the patterns.
Thank you so much... and thank you so much for watching my channel!
I agree
I have a Freddy that would be a brother to Oliver❤❤
Had so much fun watching the animals, so now I have to watch again to follow your quilt!
Thank you so much Linda!!!
My cat lays on my long arm…. Grrrrr. You always put everyone at ease. Happy New Year!
Mine too!
I just love it when I get to see Oliver and the rest of your fur babies ❤
😺
Totally relate to losing things! I can’t find all of my normal decor that I took down to replace with Christmas decor!
Love Oliver.
This quilt is absolutely stunning!
I love how you are real. You have fun with what you do. I love how you help others.❤❤❤❤❤
Love the video and the cats and dog. We have 5 cats in our house. so much fun.
Nice to see I'm not the only one who struggles to get anything done with kitty help.

Oliver is a sweety!! My Molly (kitty) used to love to help me too.

What a cool quilt! 😘
I think so too!
I definitely think it needs to be wider to be in proportion to the length. This is a great tutorial, and I love it.
Thank you! 😊
Absolutely love Oliver 😻 and you crack me up! "I wasn't going to give you this quilt anyway!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
That quilt is very pretty. I think I have that pattern. You are so bubbly. I love watching your videos

Hi you definitely need a boarder to make it wider. Beautiful as always.
love this, it looks like a festive New years party, thank you

Have you ever sewn your backing on inside out? I'm that talented. 1st time in 8 years I've done that. Yeeesh!! Love the quilt!!
stay tuned --- I am catching up on the quilts / completed showcase coming soon
Happy new year love when you big size
Same to you!
