    Frond Designs is absolutely amazing. Love the beautiful colors. I get my mammogram every February without fail. We lost my mother in law 11 years ago from from breast cancer that went into bone cancer. My sister in law had breast cancer as well, but she has been cancer free for 5 years now. There is no doubt that mammograms can save a life. ❤

      Mammograms have saved my life twice. Early detection is the key to it all!
      We lost my MIL to metastases, as well. My condolences to you and yours

    I''m a 3 Yard Quilt Junky. I have to say THANKS A BUNCH for the blanket tip. It never entered my mind to do that. I love this idea and I'm going to try it. I love the combo of the Tim Holtz fabrics with this panel. stunning!

    That turned out so great! Moment of panic when you said that you were
    going to cut up that panel, but it was perfect for that quilt. Oliver where was
    Oliver!!!! I just bought 3 panels for my collection in the last 2 weeks thought
    "Now what would April do with these"!!! lol. Happy Quilting!

    I love the panel sliced up…looks 3D’ish. Almost like looking through a window. I love EQ8 now that Miss Kimberly Jolly did a little tutorial on the program. She has created a late night monster in me playing with all the fabric and block possibilities! 😆 Have a marvelous Sunday Miss April..🤗🤗

    Thanks April. I use all those tips, especially "super sizing" the pattern. One of my friends started a quilt for our group, & used little 2 & 1/2" squares, but never finished it. I ended up finishing it, but said if it were me, I would have used much bigger squares!

    Hi April,
    Yeaaaah that quilt top turned out really nice. I had my doubts
    with so much patterns going on but by george it looks very good!
    Thanks for the 5 great tips, I’m loving the blanket one. I do use
    lots of sheets for backing but man not having to use batting would
    be gorgeous and so much faster with a blanket!
    Cutest pup. Missed Oliver today! Have a awesome week! ❤

    Cool fabric! You can definitely go down the rabbit hole with EQ8. I have a program that was retired, but still works, and just lose time when playing with all the functions designing quilts. I wish I had shelled out the money for EQ8 instead of QuiltPro.

  • @janiesoito4494
    @janiesoito4494 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love Costco for "quilt backs." My anatomy professor used to get a KitKat every day for break. One day when he came back to the lab, he got involved with a group of students and set his candy down on the table. My lab partner, Diane, swiped it. When he was done helping the students, he reached for his KitKat. Gone! He started checking pockets: lab coat, suit coat, shirt, slacks and then repeated. Just as he was finishing the second round, Diane handed him the candy and asked "Are you looking for this?" The look of relief on Dr Smith's face was priceless. Good thing she was one of his best students. ❤

  • @beckyblankenship6640
    @beckyblankenship6640 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great panel improv 🎉. Anxious to see the border color you pick. A black would corral the colors.
    What will the back look like? Binding? That's a stumbling block for me.😵‍💫🤐😱🫨😵
    Please do a follow-up with this one!🥳

  • @Yodi430
    @Yodi430 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi April!
    Very interesting use of the panel and fabric. I wonder what it would look like if you staggered the panel pcs. A bit?
    This is something I will definitely attempt in the future!

    In the U.K. KitKats are chocolate biscuits! Loved getting to see the studio and seeing someone’s creative space. Too often it’s just a computer that we see now. It’s part of the reason I love Kaffe Fasset he still designs his fabrics old school with paint and paper. It was interesting to see another way to use up a panel, thank you.

    • @aprilscraftroom

    @fbc5449 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi, April! I love your videos. I think I would use the other panel on the back and make the quilt reversible. I would use big blocks on the back and not cut the strips into the panel. The quilt you did in the tutorial was awesome! Please keep on making video tutorials.

    Oh😮 you just gave me a duh moment. I never make the 3 yard quilts because I need bigger ones and I don’t want to do the math. A 10” square could easily be swapped for the 5”. This is literally life changing.
