Easy 4 Patch Quilt Can Be Finished in a Day - Beginner Friendly
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- This 4 patch quilt combines a 4 patch and a 10" square to create a fun twist on a traditional block. A 4 patch is a great starter block for beginners and yet matching seams keeps those more seasoned quilters interested. I have a pack of 10" squares from Joanns and a fat quarter bundle that I am going to use to make this fun 4 patch quilt pattern.

I like it - now to try it with men's shirts and see if I can get it to work.
You and me both! I can’t cut a straight line for the life of me! But I always done is better than just sitting there and if the quilt police want to check me out, we’ll, go for it! My quilts are made with love, not perfection. 😂
❤
Ditto that! 😉

That's the beauty of homemade. Perfectly imperfect😉
Thanks so much!

Another great video and quilt. You are absolutely not responsible for a bad cut job! I love that you made lemonade out of lemons, you have such a wonderful attitude. I appreciate so much that you didn’t feel a need to put down Joanne’s or the person doing the cutting you just use what you had and had a great attitude doing it! Which is why you are one of my favorite TH-camrs and a joy to watch.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

I can't cut a straight line with an AccuQuiltGo!!! A woman after my heart! Well said! I am so tired of this perfectionism most people can't live up to!!!
❤️
Very pretty and the slight off kilter squares you can say was part of the design! You say you don’t like pressing the fabric and then give us a montage of some very seductive pressing enough to make your heart go boom all those shots of beautiful fabrics. Another great video 👍❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

The finished quilt is so pretty, the fabrics are fresh. I have learned to stay away from Joann's precuts for the most part, but you handled it very well!
Thank you so much!

I love your colors and I also love this design .I will be in quilting withdrawals for the next three week .All five of my grown children are coming home to help celebrate my Moms 90th birthday . It’s been 12 yrs since they were all home and all 24 of my grandkids and great grandkids . We are all so excited to have them home to help Mom celebrate this amazing mile stone . So I won’t be sewing for a while but it will all be worth every second . Our kids are scattered from Mo to Ark.,to Ariz. But I will still sneak in some video time with you cant wait to see what’s next . Your my favorite quilter ❤
Happy visiting.🎉

Loved this video! Always fun to watch you not get so "picky" about any imperfection that may come up. I haven't worked on a quilt in about 4 years...just got a bit discouraged. 🙁 Watching this video has given me some hope to start again. Thanks for your motivation!👍
yay
Thank you so much!

I love my AccuQuilt cutters (yes, I have all three sizes!!! And more dies than I’m willing to say🥴🥴🥴! And I’ve also found those packs of 20 layer cakes at my ,kcal Joann’s - but I think I need to find more stores than just the one by me as I do know that different stores carry different fabric packets - besides, it’s fun to find something new!!! Oh, and I love your flamingo shirt!
Thank you!
Fun! Fun!
Thank you so much!

I like the way you chose to put the quilt together. 💗 I think the color theme is great for spring and summer. 🦋🌼🌻 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦋
Thank you! 😊
So cute, I love using 4 patch blocks
Me too!
HI April. I'm digging your purple iron. I can't afford a new one right now but when I can ... I'm going purple! Your quilt is adorable, as was Maxine's walk on! LOL Take care and stay well. ~~ Lynne
thanks Lynne!
Just found your site. I love it!! Love this video. You have a new subscriber ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Good Thursday morning to you🌞 I'm not a big fan of Joanns . you're not lazy , 🙅 I think you like quick results. We need to remember you get what you pay for.! So cute April ❤ another great quilt ,thanks for sharing happy 4th of julY🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you!
Chocolate!!! 😊
Yum!!!
If i had big enough dies i would definitely use them. I do not like cutting. The worst part of quilting for me anyway. I cant stand and cut bcz of my back is probably the reason. Anyway. I did a similar quilt using 3 charm packs. Tula neon and so cute! Love your wuilts as well! I think this is probably the first time I commented to you. Hi April i am Pattie😂✂️🧵💕
Hi Pattie
Thank you for your comment!
I really appreciate your time watching my channel ❤️
I often struggle with precuts that aren’t the size they say they are 🤷♀️ Why do we have to put up with it 😳 You did a great job and you have created a lovely quilt 👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I love that ten inch pack. Beautiful selection.
me too!!!
You came at the perfect time. Have some 10 inch squares and found fat quarters to match. Going to make your quilt. Thankyou.
Yay!!! Thank you so much!
Hope you have fun making it
I did a quilt like this last year. It was Las Vegas Knights themed for my friend’s son. Obviously he was thrilled a few a few weeks ago when the Knights won the Stanley Cup! The quilt was easy and fun to make. 😃❤️👍🏼 Mine was a bit smaller with 8 inch blocks.
love this!
Love this pattern and your fabrics 💗
Thank you! 😊
I just bought that same 10 in square package ( along with some others) to make charity quilts. I will definitely add this pattern to my repertoire. I love watching your channel; you are a joy to watch.
Yea, good for charity quilts!!! They sew up very nice and quick!
Thank you so much!

Lovely quilt. And it will be just as warm and cosy as a 'perfect' on e. ❤👍from Somerset UK
Thank you! 😊
Fabulous
Thank you so much!

I have the same butterfly fabric from Joanns. Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, but I do now. 😊. Thank you
Wonderful!
As a newbie quilter, JoAnn's fake 10" squares were really frustrating for me. I tossed them aside and swore off Joann's precuts! Maybe after a little more experience I will figure out what to do with them!
I understand your frustration. I’ll give you a handy pointer from an experienced Quilter. It only took me 12 years to discover not all precuts are exact! Even those high quality purchased from Quilt Shops. Always measure your precuts for accuracy! Some companies will measure the “mountain” others measure the “valley” of the pinked edges. This is an extremely helpful tip to know. Best of luck to you! Welcome to the most wonderful world of art💕🧵
@@helenpeddycord2241 Thank you! I was surprised at these batches though because one side was barely 9" and I am not comfortable yet adjusting everything else down that much. I love math, but not that much yet! I will square them up and use them to practice half square triangles!
@@cheryldawnejackson - You are most welcome! I learned this from Maureen @ The Opinionated Quilter! Love her helpful content of “Stop wasting fabric” She is a math whiz! Me, not so much😂🤣😂
I’m thankful you didn’t just give up as a beginner. Good on you! Everyone needs to practice their HSTs 😩
@@helenpeddycord2241 thanks. That's why I look to see if they are pinked, and if so don't pick them up. It threw me 📴 everytime.
Sorry you had issue with them
I love 4 patches. I can't cut or sew straight..I've learned to accept it. 😂❤
lol
your videos are so fun to watch. love your quilt top
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Yes! That 10-1/2” four-patch yin made from that die is correct - AccuQuilt has included the seams so this block is really a 10” block finished - I’d rather have to trim a bit than try to work with something too small!
me too
Nice quilt, I don’t have a quilt shop big or small near me. I shop sales but this is a good reminder to check my stash.
absolutely
That is great fabric! How awesome that you had a coordinating fq bundle of solids. I think I would have trimmed all the squares down to the same size before joining them together, just me. Will you show it again after it's quilted?
absolutely!!!
I love my accuquilt cutter and dies. I don't think you're lazy to use it!
love it too!
I love my accuquilt cutter and even use it all hat I can
me too
love your fabrics...looks great
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
When dealing with fat quarters, cut them into four 9 inch squares. That way you only need 18" x 18" "fat quarter" squares. Also if your "10 inch" squares are wonky, you still can get a decent sized quilt top. But if you're going to use starch of ANY kind, do it at the VERY BEGINNING. Bc you will have some sort of shrinkage on cotton fabric.
I use best press ... I love that stuff
thank you for sharing!
Those are cute fabrics.
Thank you!
Awesome job 😊 like your colors
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
My JoAnn store never has a good selection of quality Pre-cuts… UTAH get us some selections of fabrics too!!
sorry to hear that
Love your shirt
Thank you
Love this helpful video April! You can’t go wrong with the Accuquilt! Love your flamingo tee💕🦩 Would you mind sharing where you purchased it??? TYIA
I love the set up of your sewing table. How did you create such a great working space
so many years of moving stuff till it worked
love this idea beautiful 😍❤
Thank you! 😊
I love it!!!
Thank you
Looks great to me
Thank you
It was unfortunate about the 10 inch squares. That’s why I do not buy fabric from Jo Ann’s. I did once and everything bled and was not even. I buy from quilt shops only now. Love your posts!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Who even thought time lapse ironing would be so soothing 😅😅😅
Right!
Love it! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Accuracy is such a important part of sewing...iam working on Creating better cutting skills and making better seams..😊
So true! cutting is one of the most important steps!
Sometimes when you iron you lose about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch on one side of your blocks. This is due to shrinkage of the cross grain of your fabric. Iron a block that you know for sure is right and you will see what I'm talking about. That's why I don't iron any more than I absolutely have to until my block is finished. Ironing the 10 inch pieces probably caused a shrink that changed the size.
thank you for sharing!
Just make sure all the blocks are trimmed to 10” before sewing - I’m not grasping your problem! And of course trim the four- patch from the center!
Great tips
Another amazing and easy quilt pattern! Thank you and do you ever use spray starch when pressing fabric?
no I use BEST PRESS--- i love it so much
So cute.
Thank you
❤❤❤

Hi April 😊
hi 😍
I love your quilt. I also love your green plate on your sewing machine and I would like to get one for my machine. Any idea where I can buy them? Thank uou in advance and greatly appreciate your feedback. Ram from Thailand.
Check my description
It’s on there
Sew steady
I wish you had a white background on your board So your quilt pieces would show up better.
i agree
I came a cross your craft room about 4 days a go you were doing a quilt with 9 fat quarets. you sewed 3 in a row and 3 rows you foulded them in haft and in haft again and cut on the foulds . At this point we had a power outage here how can I see this again can you helo me with this?
Wish i had a design wall
easy fix! you can make one!
That's why I don't buy precuts! I would rather cu my fabric and then I know they are all the same size.
i agree... it makes a difference for sure!
Hey April do you do canning? If so the ring and lids should fit the tops of those jars for canning 😊.
Thanks for sharing
I very seldom buy precuts for the very reason that they aren't cut correctly. You would think a 10 inch square would measure 10 inches.
you would think for sure
How do you hang your quilt at the end of the video? It’s hanging in front of your design wall. I love that idea❤
Static it clings to the flannel
😊
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
And that's why I don't buy fabric from JoAnn's 😂 I for frustrated with 10" squares that were less than 10"
i feel your pain
Looks so cute - don't you hate it when you buy precuts and they are wonky?!
Always measure your precuts from all manufacturers🧵
@@helenpeddycord2241 absolutely, however, if they are selling 10X10 the cuts should be at least 10x10 and preferably measure right. some brands are really accurate and some are just not.
Absolutely
I have to say that I can not cut a straight line with an accucutter or a ruler that’s held down with weights or grandchildren. I’m pathetic and I’ve learned to live with that.
bless your heart! just do it your way girl and it will be perfect!
One of the things I have been finding is that a lot of fabric is stated in inches and millimeters. The millimeter measurement is always the right one and it does not match inches well enough a lot of the time. I find it very irritating.
oh wow! I would too!
What did you use to make your design board? Thank you. I love your ideas.
I use my unusable scraps to stuff my draft blockers.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
I see the sew steady grid you are using. How do you change your bobbin thread?
it is removable.
If we don’t have an Accuquilt, what size should the squares be for making the 4-patch block?
You can make them any size you want. But you cut out the same size the Accuquilt cuts the fabric. The only difference is that you have to cut it yourself. 😀
April
You have to be very careful with the precuts from JoAnns. Not very accurate!
But, your quilt did look very pretty when you got it all together!
Thanks for the tips!
Did you ever make the pattern called "double slice"?
I have not. I will have to look it up. Thank you for watching.
April
What is your wall made of to stick fabric on😊
Check my video shorts
I did a video on the materials and how it’s made
