Quilt turned out super cute! Enjoy the York patties!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks ❤️

[@elainelear4982]

I really enjoy your videos. You are having fun, and I love that. Plus, you endorse eating chocolate. Yum. Thank you for the time and effort you use to bring us joy.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! April

[@vickyh7881]

I’m not a big animal print person but your quilt top turned out cute. The borders really made a difference. Nice to see you don’t need every new ruler out there. Tfs!

[@juliatepe5760]

Your crazy blocks would work well with batiks or larger prints. I've priced those rulers, oh my! Your method works very well April, and the black and gray are perfect with those animal prints.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Aww Thank you so much! April

[@carlabattle8301]

York peppermint patties are the best. Even better frozen

[@aprilscraftroom]

lol!!!

[@anitanoland9188]

It turned out great! Love the crazy blocks and the animal print blocks are breaking up the crazy!! You did great!! Thanks for sharing your ideas and frustration!!!🤪

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks so much!

[@karin0963]

You are so funny. I love your crazy quilt and how you improvised.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I try

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

This is so helpful to me. I resently acquired two animal prints. I am using your method to make block's out of them. I have a rotary cutting mat, and away I go. I want to make a medium size couch quilt, with matching pillows. I might add silver, gold, black, brown, gray, & white for some framing, & border's. Wouldn't it be cute with some applique paw prints too. Thank you my dear, dear April for giving me an idea for my fabrics, that I already have. I love Peppermint Patty's too.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awesome

[@carolynpoole7314]

Your quilt turned out cute. I’d like borders

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you ... and I tend to agree .. borders make it pop

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Love it, I would do a small scrappy border of just the animal prints.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Ohhh I love that idea

[@roxannemayfield5122]

I think a solid dark black would look good as a border...if you end up doing one.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I like that idea... thank you for the suggestion!!! April

[@dellasimmelink6644]

I think black, gray, white or brown would go well with animal prints

[@aprilscraftroom]

Oh .. I love those colors! Great suggestion... Thank you! April

[@sherryfaires7931]

I really do like your quilt! It would make a great guy quilt! I really do like York Peppermint Patties, too!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!

[@barbarawilson4405]

Animal print...Brown..Grey...Black...Think where they live...always dark.??? So they safe...and dont end up in a quilt.???? Love you..Barb

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@beyesh3760]

Thanks for sharing Crazy Blocks without a specialty ruler. Love watching your videos. :)

[@aprilscraftroom]

thank you

[@cherylcurlee3279]

Love this idea, I have lots of animal print lying around. May give this a try. Thanks

[@aprilscraftroom]

Have fun!

[@veronicascott8012]

It turned out great April. 😋 peppermint patties.

[@aprilscraftroom]

So good! I love chocolate!!!

[@5kidsmyhusbandandme]

Love the gray & black you out around them. They kind of calm it down. I think I would use more gray around it then the black then do a scrappy animal print binding. Or do the black then the gray then the scrappy binding. I would audition those if it were me. 😀

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love your ideas Thank you

[@sharonjohnson7458]

Love your channel. You are adorable. Love how you do things.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@christinahall3318]

Your quilt turned out wonderful! Now, with that being said, I am not a fan of animal prints. I LOVE crazy quilts and yours is absolutely beautiful. I love the way your broke up the crazy blocks with the solid/not solid blocks! I love you and your channel! Happy quilting my friend! I’m out of chocolate…..😢 HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@patriciaguevara8793]

I’ll definitely be making this out of batik fat quarters - I’m thinking twin size for my granddaughter. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yay! Glad it was helpful Have fun

[@carolbarnes7844]

Great outcome. Never thought of doing animal prints but now I’m inspired to try.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Go for it!

[@terrieberly8109]

I'm not big into animal prints but this is cute. Also I love how you show the bloopers at the end. Great laughs.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks so much!

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- I love what you came up with. I would go for any kind of sashing when you can't match blocks. You could have eliminated the sashing on your plan blocks and it would have looked nice. I always enjoy watching you work it out. Blessings.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tip! Great ideas!

[@shannonroe4762]

I like this quilt. You always amaze me. Thanks April.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@georgianelson5038]

Yes, put a boarder around those blocks!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yes it would make a difference for sure!!!

[@terrycrawford5778]

Pretty quilt and you flubs are cute

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! April

[@scottydog6539]

Just cut a piece of template plastic and divide it into the pieces you want and there you have your blocks. Trace around the template pieces on your fabric choices.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Genius! Great tip! Thank you for sharing

[@lorrainewalden4924]

This turned out really cute. To me it’s one of your best quilts.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awww! Thank you

[@chrystalhenthorne8209]

Well now I want a York Peppermint Pattie...LOL. Thanks for the fun video. I love what you did with the animal prints!! I stayed to the end and that razor and I are fast friends. I use it on the back of my machine embroidery to cut jump stitches.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome! I love that thing ... I think it would be awesome to use on messed up embroidery (which for me happens alot)

[@sisterchicksquilting]

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank uou

[@judithburke1539]

You can always pull colors from the different animal prints, like the greys and blacks and the different oranges and use those to frame the crazy blocks. Using the same kind of colors that you would find in the place where those animals live would also work. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great suggestion... thank you so much! April

[@donnacolegrove4113]

Very nice! I too love peppermint Pattie’s!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Me too!!

[@lilliemlord1890]

I used red and cream for borders on my safari quilt that I didn’t get to keep because one of my great nieces made off with it

[@aprilscraftroom]

OH I bet that is beautiful! ... Lucky Great Niece~ LOL

[@alok-iz8lq]

I'm not crazy about animal print but I would go for solid black as the border the bottom block middle blends in to your wall looks good though

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great suggestion... Thank you!

[@reneegould646]

Thank you so much!

I made a animal print quilt. I did use black for sashing & backing.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I bet that looks beautiful and I bet the black set the rest of the materials pop! Great job thanks for watching April

Thank you! 😊

[@kathyterrell1547]

I liked the gray and black for the borders of each block, but the cut blocks were to jumbled for my little brain. Maybe a small black strip to put between each print. That would be too detailed for me, however. Just thought my brain would like the "resting " spot between all the prints. Thanks for trying new things, and sharing them with us!

[@aprilscraftroom]

I like that suggestion Thank you

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@elainebukowsky9187]

Loved your video! Never been an animal print lover, but now I want to make one. How about black and white stripes cut on the diagonal for a “zebra striped “ border or binding? Looking for animal print fat quarters and a York Peppermint Patty right now.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Oh .. Elaine .. I love that idea! thank you so much for sharing

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Did you think about adding some thin black strips between your patches to make your Crazy Blocks bigger (stain glass style) as you sewed them together? Wine or dark red looks wonderful with animal prints also. Your quilt is going to be beautiful. I love what you have done.

[@aprilscraftroom]

That is an excellent idea. I love the look of stained glass. I actually have some more animal print purchased prior to this project. LOL. I will have to try that. April

[@carolynsmith7513]

Bravo !! Looks good.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!

[@bettylarks8134]

I love the quilt you made with those prints! If you want to go even crazier, you could use your leftover strips for a border or binding.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great idea!!!

[@lindapucillo3493]

Great ideas and use of animal prints. I find them intimidating, so have never tried using them. Quilt is really stunning and the sashing adds a lot.

This quilt turned out so cute and I love your crazy quilt block hack. I really like using the borders around the crazy block and alternating with a "normal" block. I'm a fan of big quilts, so I would need a border around the quilt. Do you have a jungle print in your stash you could use?

[@aprilscraftroom]

No but that is an awesome idea!!! Thank you

[@judycurtis44]

When was Donna's video? Would like to see that one because since I love April's I would like to compare.

[@wilycat5290]

@@judycurtis44 The one I was thinking about was called Layer Sticks or something like that, published about a year ago. It's a little different from April's, but she has others where she's sliced multiple fabrics and combined them to make up the block in the same way too. Lots of free patterns on the Jordan Fabrics website. Although a pattern isn't really necessary for this block/quilt.
