[@annamariekorte7259]

Love the first flamingo quilt. So bold & colorful!!!

[@lisastreasures]

I'm in love with the beachy theme. So pretty. Another beautiful top you are wearing Fran. 🩷

[@carolharris5456]

I'm so glad you showcased a softer fabric, the sea shells, as the focal fabric. I have a similar fabric I was having a hard time with. You have solved my dilemma! As usual you have given me inspiration!!

[@tammygermonto2113]

This is a great informational video. Great tips! And I love your pink top 😃. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@carollantz5647]

I love your tips for matching fabrics

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you! 😊

[@gailcates2941]

Always love these choices , my favorite, for the last one would be using the aqua/blue as a #2.

[@vacation8575]

I have the same flamingo fabric. Thank you for the ideas for that fabric.

[@janetservidio8967]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is the 1st time I've seen it. Awesome!

[@FabricCafe]

You're so welcome!

[@Nana56]

Everything is so beautiful today. I had a hard time concentrating as I was struck by the quilt behind you. Couldn't take my eyes off of it!! But, as usual, you did an awesome job with the swatches today. Also, as usual I'm inspired to go digging through my stash and see what I can do. Love all you patterns! :D

[@janswarthout4099]

Fran! Thank you so much for giving me two choices for my seashell fabric, and the book having both patterns. What a nice surprise. I have a couple yards of the fabric, I may make both. Thank you!

[@MsDale1976]

Thank you so very much for choosing my fabric. I can hardly wait to start on it! If I didn’t have family coming over for Father’s Day I would at least begin it..I will send you a picture once completed. Thank you so very much once again.

[@helenaMe325]

Which one was yours? They are all so lovely 😊😊

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Fran, great video today, as always. I really enjoy watching fabric matchmaker. I love to hear about all the submission stories. And why the participants chose their particular fabrics. Along with your expert advice, on how to make quilts out of there fabric watches submitted. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you Fran.

[@peggygunderson5578]

Great tips thank you Fran.

[@cathylombard964]

I love these videos. You are so skilled at picking out companion fabrics.

[@susanhartley8207]

Always enjoy Fabric Matchmaker! Great tips on choosing fabrics.

[@sarahshaw1937]

Enjoy the matchmaker videos. Always great matches.♥️

[@pamlacey136]

I always love Fabric Matchmaker!! It is always so fun to see what fabrics and patterns that you decide to use. Thanks for sharing.

[@AnitaKendall]

Turned my evening around to see a new Fabric Matchmaker episode! As always, loved to learn from you and WOW did you knock it out of the park. That first one took my breath away in particular.

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

I love the quilt behind Fran in this video.

[@mariannecamous3472]

Me too. Wondering which one it is????

[@theodorapounds1221]

It’s Evening Stroll from the One Block 3-Yard book. I’m currently making it for my nephew who likes dark green. I like that it highlights the dark/#3 fabric in addition to the focus/#1 fabric.

[@annielyst]

Great job! I think the green from the first quilt would work well in place of black for Joann's flamingo quilt.

[@laurajustice4275]

Love your videos, and you knocked it out of the park with Rose's fabric

[@hopscotchtop]

I love these episodes. I've learned so much about picking out fabric that works together.

[@chuchiedoubek772]

I love it when you explain how to coordinate the fabrics and how to highlight the “focus” fabric. Thank you. ❤chuchie

[@Scrappyendings]

Thank you for your great enthusiasm & joy that you share in these matchmaker videos. Great job!

[@robertacaruthers7568]

That first one using the sleigh bell pattern was spot on!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

This is my favorite video you do I love matchmaker

[@helenaMe325]

Matchmaker is the one I look forward to the most! Such gorgeous fabrics today. Not as keen on the seashells as I prefer bright but wow! You made it so beautiful and gorgeous putting it together with the other fabrics. Another stunning video teaching us so much about matching 😀😀💜💜

[@Lois.Romero]

Love the jungle print! ❤

[@abeullah03]

Fran, every time I watch matchmaker I am in awe of your talent.

[@jeannesnodgrass8073]

These quilts are so beautiful! Just perfect for summer!🌞

[@linda5278]

Love the flamingos, too! Thanks, Fran, for your great tips!

[@grams5580461]

I love seeing what you are going to come up with. Today's fabrics are so cute and unusual. Great job as usual.

[@M-hc9xm]

Matchmaker episodes always give me confidence to pick an unusual fabric that I like but don't know what to do with.

[@bethpowell6650]

Wow! Rose’s Sleigh Bell quilt is absolutely gorgeous!

[@theodorapounds1221]

Love the tips!

[@sandybettencourt5735]

I love the fabric you put with Rose’s gorgeous fabric and that’s a great pattern which I need in my collection!

[@gisellejones1139]

These videos are a lot of fun and enthusiasm..😊

[@mardigra1916]

Excellent

[@anitabrantley5202]

Great matches.

[@anitanoland9188]

Love the image of Rose’s quilt!! It’s so beautiful! Enjoy your matchmaking with fabrics that are challenging!

[@sandracedar368]

Beautiful fabrics! Great lessons! Thank you❤❤

[@nancywalker1325]

Love the green 💚 😍

[@dianehuntley2493]

All are great matches, as usual😊

[@VanDeWitt-u4y]

Great video today ❤❤❤

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

I hope Jan picks the first layout ( High Rise) for her seaside themed fabric!!

[@debbiepurser8101]

That is gorgeous

[@sharonpost8927]

I love what you did with Rose’s fabric!

[@nancywalker1325]

You do amazing work 😊

[@beverlyjohnson9413]

Fran, you outdid yourself on Rose's quilt match!

[@Lickyknee]

Really appreciate that you show a mock-up with the fabrics. Helps because I can't visualize it in my noggin 😂

[@theresekaun7143]

❤ Love the choices!!

[@sandramichaud8033]

Stunning patterns!

[@debbiepurser8101]

Man love the blues

[@guesswhonancy9028]

Thank you this helped

[@M-hc9xm]

The story behind the flamingo fabric hit me. What drives me to control my stash is someone having to organize bins and bins of fabric!

[@Neldamae]

Wonderful matches! So many tips for us to use! What pattern is the quilt hanging behind you?

[@carriejetton966]

Oh my gosh, I have the sea shell fabric, made it several years ago for my husband’s Aunt. She loved seashells, unfortunately she had terminal cancer and I wanted her to have a quilt. She made one for me, when I was going through breast cancer. I used Bold Blocks. Love the pattern you used, but it was not around when I made it. I’d post a picture here, but it does not let you.

[@carlindatrenholm6586]

When I saw the pinwheel party quilt I had an idea. Fabric Café has a free goodies for bold block patterns, what about doing one that has patterns with minimal seam matching? I love all of the videos and the kits give me ideas for my next quilts. Thank you 🧵🌸

[@melindamckenry6368]

Fran, always enjoy your matchmaker videos. Behind you during this video is a beautiful quilt - can you share the name of the pattern please? Thank you. My eye kept being drawn to it.

[@lesliecook2922]

The rebel in me wants to switch up positions for the beach fabric

[@Alisha-fe4gk]

Do you have any tips for when I don't have a full yard of fabric? For instance, which patterns work with 6- 1/2 yard amounts?

[@mary2240]

What is the pattern of the quilt hanging behind you? It’s beautiful. I would have chosen that pattern for the flamingo quilt because of the bigger square, however, your choices are great as usual. ❤️

[@cinnasugar2]

Oh my gosh, I was coming on to ask that same question! I love that quilt and would be happy to know the particulars of it 😊

[@FabricCafe]

The pattern behind me is called Evening Stroll and it's from our One Block 3-Yard Quilts book. And you're right, those flamingos would look great in that pattern too! Fran

[@mary2240]

@@FabricCafe I’ll check to see if that’s one of your books that I have. If not, looks like I’ll be getting another 3 yard quilt book. Thanks, Fran.

[@cindikurtz2191]

QUESTION… where can I locate the pattern for The Quilt hanging behind you in this video???

[@FabricCafe]

That's the 'Evening Stroll' quilt from our 'One Block 3-Yard Quilts' book 🥰

[@cathlyndeutsch9209]

I like them all except for the pinwheel one. I like the pattern, but the pink and black were so overwhelming that the interesting print kind of got lost.

[@maryhluch659]

Fran what is the name of the quilt that is hanging on the wall behind you? It is very pretty, is it a three yard quilt?

[@FabricCafe]

HI Mary, that is our 'Evening Stroll' pattern from the 'One Block 3-Yard Quilts' book.

[@nancywalker1325]

The flamingo fabric looks like #3, it gets lost in the quilt.

[@jeanetterisner8239]

Sounds like with 7 yds some of it was going to be used as backing also

[@Lani-Grace]

👍💜👍

[@jeandryja6992]

Nope nope nope don’t like the black with either of the flamingo prints.
