Ugh April I love your videos- they are so approachable. Thank you for showing the hard parts and flaws!! other channels don't show that and it's a MOTIVATOR for a beginner to see build up and wrinkles!!
This is so fun! I love the quick quilt with large squares. I like the "quilt as you go," part of this. I may try this. Happy Healthy quilting. Thank you for sharing this with us.❤😊🎉
Nice job April, & pretty fabrics.I've been trying to get involved with going back to Church lately. I love the little childrens smiling faces. I'm itching to sew something. My daughter's passing away, just after Thanksgiving, set me back for awhile. Christmas was very hard for me. I'm pushing myself to do more now. This quilt is too challenging for me, so I'm going to make just a table runner for now, with this method. Thank you 😊 I am going to make some blossom sugar cookies with chocolate kisses in the middle, for my chocolate 🍫. Bye now, & many virtual hug to you. 💔😢 Your kitty is so funny.
I am so sorry about the loss of your daughter - that has to be hard. I hope you can find strength in the Lord and he will lead you through your sorrow. Church is an excellent place to be during this time. I find sewing very therapeutic - I hope you do as well. Stay strong and I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers. And eat lots of those sugar cookies. They don't call it comfort food for nothin, ;-). Hugs - April
Eduarda Chi, karin0963, & April, Thank you, how kind of you all. I'm drawing closer to God, he comfort's me so. I don't think I would still be around, if it wasn't for my Faith in Jesus. My daughter was 37 years old. She had such a cheerful personality, & was always doing thing's for others. I know she's with God in heaven, he's looking out for her now. But, I miss her so much. Yes, going to Church, & sewing is good for me. Thank you so much.
Happy to see you back in the New Year! Love the method you showed, and what a great way to showcase fabrics we don't want to cut into small pieces. Thanks for another fun tutorial - I would love to make this one!
Thank you for showing this way to quilt as you go. I always wanted to do it, but most of the videos I watched required some hand sewing. This seems to me an easier way to do it.
I think I tend to be a quilter with the same style as you. I just finished making 16 quilts for the family for Christmas and since it was was first year quilting, I spent a huge amount of time trying to make them “my style “. This year I’m gonna keep quilting but use more of your suggestions and methods as they make sense to me (if that makes any sense ) lol.
Oh My What a different (good) way to QAUG. I have to yell !!!! WOW THAT BACKING !!!! Yummy April. Thanks again for bringing a smile to my face, your videos always inspire productivity. I am a Fat Quarter pre-cut girl. I use a dz and but 2 dz,. Ya know?
Tiny Orchard Quilts did a log cabin as a large one block quilt… does that make sense? It was only one block, but super large so it took up the whole quilt. It’s a super cool quilt too. Love seeing your take on this one too.
Yea! I always do my quilts this way, much easier than trying to match up the backing when sewing together a QAYG with backing! Glad to see someone else does the same.
I have not FMQ and was overwhelmed by an entire pieced top. I love that you showed it like this. I will have to cut my teeth on FMQ this way. Grateful for your thorough talk thru in easy to understand instructions. God bless you Miss April.
I am a new quilter. I am so glad I found you on TH-cam. Your videos are so down to earth. It’s so entertaining, so informative. You makes my newfound hobby seem much more approachable.
It’s Little Miss April…wahoo! Happy New Year. Gorgeous quilt. I thought for sure you were going to throw that on the long arm and free motion it…I just have never been good at free motion…I tried and tried, then decided I needed a Gammill with Statler Stitcher. Life is much easier now…and a lot less cussing. 😝😝 Have a terrific weekend, so nice to see a tutorial from ya. 🤗🤗
Happy New Year! I am soooo jealous. I have a long arm but no computer yet. Some days I'm happy with my quilting and some days I am not - LOL. I used to say I didn't want the computer but the more quilts I make the more confident I am that I am going to eat my words and one day invest in automation. :-). Thank you for watching. April
I love the fun of your videos. At the same time I nearly cried when I saw your little Yorkie sitting on the chair behind you. My little Yorkie died in July last year. My heart is broken 💔. I don't even go for a walk anymore. Sorry 😔. Just got emotional when I saw your little pet . They are the best companion anyone could ever want.
I agree. I am going to be lost without her when it is time for her to cross the rainbow bridge. Virtual hugs from a fellow Yorkie lover. And thank you for watching my channel. April
I am so glad I found you on TH-cam a few months ago. you are a joy to watch. I watch your videos every night. You make quilting real, you don’t hide your flaws, quilting boo boos happens! I love making quilts of all kinds. I make a lot of tshirt quilts. May I ask where you found your backing fabric for this quilt. I love everything about it. I have fabrics that I will be trying this pattern, not as colorful as yours.
Happy new year love this idea but I would have done the back along with the batting and top. I am guessing you could have cut blocks of batting larger with the material that you had. Less bulk to work with.
Hello April I haven’t commented in a while but when I saw you use the gloves that’s what I have been using one day when I was at dollar tree I thought I’m getting these gloves and using them and that’s what I’ve done I bought several pair and that’s what I use when I quilt they’re wonderful and then I saw using it and I thought that’s great so I hope you had wonderful holidays my husband and I were sick we always get sick right before Christmas and we had to go to urgent care the Monday before Christmas is so happens that way every year we we get sinusitis really bad we were checked for Covid and pneumonia but we didn’t have any of that I knew it was I sinusitis didn’t want to have either one of covid or pneumonia with our children here for Christmas Oh I am going to try this quilt I have so many fat quarters I wish you a happy new year and many great quilting videos to be viewed
What a lovely quilt project. This tutorial is well presented as it invites the quilter to be creative, quick and happy to see the project finished without the pressure of too many details to remember following as you sew. Thank you again!🪡🧵💖
I LOVE that backing fabric! How delightful. This looks like a nice easy project for when I don’t feel like spending more time cutting than sewing.
Thank you so much
