The first ruler I got was 12.5 x 1.5 inches, I know I don't use it right most of the time but it was a DREAM when I had to make a king size quilt almost entirely of one inch finished squares

Leave me a comment and let me know what are your favorite rulers.

I am learning to quilt and love this method. Thank you for making it so clear.

I am starting a "no buy" until I have my stash down to a manageable size.... once upon a time, I loved whatever materials I purchased, so I need to let them become finished projects for the recipient to love. When I no longer have enough to make a complete project, I get to shop again 😊

I love working with scraps. My sister is a very prolific quilter. She makes awesome quilts and guess what! She gives me all of her scraps. So happy. Love your channel

Love, love, love this tutorial! You are a great teacher .

How did you finish the raw edges where the blocks are joined?

I love scrap quilts... crumb blocks with sash ))). Traditional blocks each different color combo. Sash good here too to keep them from sloshing into each other. I've finally QUIT gathering crumbs from estate sales and charity shops. Both sources GREAT for good sheet backings. Last couple of years hard to find cotton clothes for quilting, but curtains work super. Fabric Fairy will deliver to your door in secret if you let people know you quilt. Free is best price ))))

Gorgeous!!

I've done table runners and vests using different tones of grey. They came out beautiful!

Throw 30 year old stuff away. U will be glad u did👍

thx

Very pretty ❤

Beautiful ❤👍

I’m so glad I found you. I’m making 21 quilts for my family for Christmas. One of my grand daughter in laws love a heavy quilt. And I just have been wondering just how to make it heavy. Thank you.

Nice and easy greetings from Sweden 👋

Learning to work with scrapes.

Hi Everyone! Let me know if you like working with scrap fabric!

Thanks.😊

Thank you for your video

Thank you!! Which rotary cutter are you using? Mine has a button that accidentally releases and pulls the blade in and it really bothers me

Mine wasn’t bending needles, but it was making the bobbin case slip and create a little rats nest on the underside of everything I made. I couldn’t go anything more than a medium speed, when I stitched. Thank you so much for showing me how to fix the spring. I think that solved all the problems!

Only $10.99 a yard for outdoor fabric? You found a great deal. I couldn't find a good sale so looked on FB Marketplace. Found someone selling 38 yards of JoAnn's $22 a yard fabric for $100! I only needed 4 yards so now a friend is getting new covers also. You never know where you can find a good deal.

Were you seeing double reel? I don't know how that happened but it sure went well to the beat of the music! Leave a comment if you were like hmmmmm..... did that just start over?

Hi Everyone! Leave me a comment and let me know what was the easiest quilt you have ever made! :)

Did any scam things happen like weird calls from tax people or credit card company? Increase spam. Anything like that after setting up an account with TEMU

Improv is my go-to! I love thrifting fabrics and just sewing. Following a pattern is my nemesis, I always go off on a tangent & make it my own. I work full time, so no time for being persnickety with a detailed pattern, just enough time to enjoy the process. 😊❤ My mom had 7 kids. She took what she had & made the best "quilts" (tied and with or without batting). Fuzzy blankets make great backings on a denim quilt with fleece inside, makes a great weighted quilt!

Hi Everyone ? Leave me a comment and let me know if you have ever made an Improv Quilt, and if so, did you enjoy it?

Thank you so much for making this video!

Red is my favorite color also.

thank you for the tutorial! I've always had trouble sewing up seams for some reason but your instructions were really clear. I like that you got straight to the point while also taking the time to walk us through the steps.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone! If you have any questions just leave me a comment. I give step by step instructions in the video, just click the link and it will take you right to it. :)

Thank you sew much for a great tutorial, so easy to understand and thank you for explaining the math. I can't wait to make some for Christmas gifts.

OMG April this is gold! And so fun and i'm not even into sewing 😂 Just you alone is soo entertaining! love it!

This is an adorable project. You had me laughing so hard at the beginning, and had the song running through my head.

I working on Christmas gifts

I need to take a sewing class. This project looks so fun and easy.

I like using my "ugly" fabric for my crazy block foundation

I've used batting spray to put it together on my wall. Works wonders, better than crawling on the floor for sure, now that I'm 50! (And I have two big dogs that think any fabric on the floor is theirs!)

Very cute April. I’m working on a wedding quilt for my Granddaughter and 3 Christmas quilts for gifts😌🧵

Hi Everyone! Here's what I've been doing. Leave me a comment and let me know what you all are up to. Have a great day!!!!😊❤🍂👻👻👻👻🧵🪡

I am just so confused on how to measure the width. In your video you measure your cushion 25inches and say the width of the fabric needs to be 25in. What about a seam allowance? Then later you measure 29 inches when cutting the fabric. Can you please explain that.

I just encountered your channel and you remind me so much of my mom and the memories of her teaching me to sew. You do lovely work april and I appreciate you sharing!💛

Thank you so much. Just one question. Have you ever used linen in a quilt? And, seeing that it’s so soft, did you stabilise it to control the softness and reduce the fray? Thank you. If you haven’t, what was your reason?

I’m glad to see you ironing your scraps! It seems like it would be easier to make accurate cuts

I've been using gift bags more often. We get give them, we give them away. I've found there's enough in circulation that I only buy one every now and then. The kids big Christmas presents get given in an extra large bag with tissue paper on top and the top taped shut as best I can. I grab the bags back and reuse them next year. Like with like should definitely be your organisation system. It can take a while to tame the chaos. If you have room having stuff out if sight and out of mind might not work for you. I think someone else suggested vertical storage might work better. I can recommend the Clutterbug quiz to find your organisation style, if you dont already know. Its a real eye opener. And you an see family memebers styles too, helps to understand each other. You're doing really well.
