Fat Quarters + Villa Rosa + Little Rebel = Fast Fun Quilting!

You know I love pre cut fabric and fat quarters are one of my favorites. There are so many options with an 18 x 21" piece of fabric. I'm not sure if we realize how large a piece of fabric that really is. Villa Rosa makes some great quilt patterns that are so reaonably priced and the perfect size to store. When you put those together with the new Little Rebel Machine from Grace Company - you have a hit! Fat Quarters, a Quick pattern and a sewing machine that stitches up to 1600 stitches per minute - this quilt is going to come together quickly! So let's get started.

White thin, then the peach cute quilt

[@JanLemme]

That’s what I would do, too. It would look great that way with the green also.

[@kellihorger707]

love your no rules quilting. that way, there are no mistakes. just a new path.

[@user-ym8nn2nb7b]

“It’s an April Option”-Classic 😉 😉😊

[@ellenhofer3343]

Quilt police have been banished from my sewing room.

[@gilliangoring4744]

I love the comment "it is an April option".

[@latetotheparty4785]

I live seven minutes from Villa Rosa’s brick and mortar store here in NorCal’s gold country. It’s fab! I dropped a lot of money there during the pandemic, fortunately, considering how inflation has affected the current price of premium fabrics. My favorite things to buy there are fat quarters that they cut themselves, and also quilt kits using their own quilt designs.

[@lizanderson2609]

Love the quilt top. Definitely a narrow white then any of the bright colors - gorgeous!!

[@carenstory8425]

I think the peach. Looks great love all the bright colors

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

I like the white and the peach a narrow white with a wider peach would be lovely. I like the “April option” it’s a pity it’s not in the actual pattern.

[@sherryfaires7931]

A thin white border and then a pink, green, or peach! You could put white all the way around and then put one color on the top and bottom, then a second color on the sides! Just use April’s Option! It will look great no matter how you do it! I like your new machine!

[@lindapucillo7875]

Really a cute, colorful quilt. Love it! I would put a narrow white border, then add a colored border. I liked the bold orange color against the white border strip. More work, but the white would make the pieced top so it would middle really pop!

[@jenniferhickmott4888]

Narrow white, then peach. 👍🏻

[@AnitaBishop-gm7bn]

I like the light green and pink.

[@AnitaBishop-gm7bn]

Does this new Rebel also have creative stitch choices?

[@kristamorehead-mcnutt1714]

I prefer the April option. And if I didn't lick the end of thread the needle would never get threaded. I always say each one has my blood, sweat, and tears in it. 😂❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

love it!

[@debraholmes6290]

Thin white sashing, then the peach border would look great! Love your new machine, April! I ordered one, too. Should be here any day. I am so excited‼️‼️

[@amymiller258]

I like the peach. And oh my gosh, the Ireland trip would be awesome!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Amymiller258 I would love for you and your friends to join me --- you should check it out ... see the link www.craftours.com/tour/9-day-exploring-the-highlights-of-ireland-with-april-story/

[@jkleinatland-Joyce]

I think a white border then any of the vibrant colors. Love the fabric, love the video,love you. You do you.

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

You rebel! Love it.

[@Dee_B23]

Very cute Quilt! I think the White and Light orange/Peach are perfect..no brainer...lol🤣

[@AprilWittwer]

I love your fun way of creating. 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@annolsen8276]

I liked the green. Nice machine..

[@GinaMiller-ux2dh]

Small white border and then a medium peach border!!!!! No quilt police!!!! 😂

[@chickenlips605]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@sewquilty357]

Peach is my favorite

[@peggysanders487]

I liked the green

[@pamlacey136]

I would like a small border then a little bit larger border of the peach. Happy quilting and enjoy your new machine.

[@kendranewton9071]

Came out pretty. Love villa rosa patterns. Nantucket is one of my favorites. Peach is the best.

[@saraharrell1768]

It screams easter to me or spring. Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-bi1yw7fn3b]

Narrow white border first then peach would be nice.

[@AuntDi2]

I like the peach color for the border. The fabrics are beautiful! They are so cheerful! I missed Oliver though!

[@lamerson771]

Like the green

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- I like the peach. God bless.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Your videos are always fun and entertaining & I learn something. I like the dark orange border, brights are my thing. It's funny you have a Little Rebel becuase you are!!! LOL!

[@marystevens1095]

Use the green it really makes it pop without overpowering.

[@judyvance314]

I really liked the last fabric!

[@barbaraherron-mangel1116]

I love how you improvise April. That quilt is adorable. Somebody will love it.❤❤❤❤❤

[@carol8273]

I like the green actually 😊

[@Snapwhiz]

White thin border to give the patchwork focus and light peach larger outer. I did one in these colors and did a white thin and aqua outer and it really popped the quilt design so nicely! Oh - and dark orange binding. ; )

[@joycehernandez4513]

White and then the peach

[@bevcote2357]

White. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.

[@carolynthomas4527]

I like peach!

[@gisellejones1139]

Narrow white then peach😊

[@HandmadebyYingwithDonna]

Holy ❤ of goodness this is a stunning new machine ❤❤❤❤

[@sharonframpton1887]

Hi April! I just unboxed my Little Rebel so this was really helpful! I agree with some others. A thin white border, then the peach border! Have a great day!

[@aprilscraftroom]

You’re gonna love your little Rebel. Glad I could be of assistance.

[@user-zq2pg9np9o]

Peach for sure. 😊

[@judithmyers3039]

White small border then peach large border sounds great to me!

[@quiltedonia]

I love the peach!

[@momistaken]

Peach or green, great video.

[@kellyjames516]

That bobbin is HUGE

[@aprilscraftroom]

yes it is!

[@peggyayers6172]

I think I would do a small white border and a bigger peach border. Love how the top turned out.

[@jankelly7845]

Making the "April Option" is a choice I end up making very often, even if it wasn't my intent. I love having a name for it.

[@ThePerniciousAngel]

I'd go with a thin white then peach OR wider white with peach binding

[@debracameron9012]

Who are these quilt police? They aren't worth worrying about. Life is too short for such meaningless worries. Keep up the great videos and your own style - it's great. Enjoy quilting and making beautiful things. By the way, my personal preference is white inner border and the peach outer border, but whatever you choose will look great anyway. Hugs xx

[@aprilscraftroom]

love this idea .... thank you for your input! thank you for watching my channel

[@hfdodson5942]

Peach. LOVE this top. Great job :)

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you!! 😊

[@diane19456]

I like the peach!

[@juliecenters1890]

I really liked the green

[@user-sk2nv9um5v]

Peach is perfect.

[@claudiawarren6053]

I think a stop boarder with the white, and a larger boarder with the green.

[@lynnperschke3966]

Finished not perfect we all feel you April ;)

[@wandawalker4191]

The peach is my favorite...after a narrow white inner border.

[@djeoutdoors]

I really like your quilt top. I really like the peach, it brings out the other colors.

[@claudiaulrike5161]

April my Little Rebel arrived over the weekend, it is all set up on my Cutie frame and I love it ❤️

[@joycebibeault1814]

I like the white and the peach or the green. I would do an all border with the white and a thicker border with either the green or peach. Awesome as always. Joyce

[@cherylpalian3254]

I like the peach for your binding. My granddaughter (quilting partner at age 6) says we need to make that quilt in Halloween fabric so guess what’s the next project.

[@wendedragoset2716]

I like the white fabric for the border.

[@renestovall9226]

Looks like the “Little Rebel” fits your personality too😉. April you are a rebel in your creativity😊

[@katherinechappell7378]

Small white strip , then peach

[@beyesh3760]

Peach is my vote, but do it April's way. No rules😊😊

[@normatulloch376]

Love this pattern.

[@michelletribble7327]

white will let the fabric patterns shine

[@PurpleQuiltDiva-jc3pu]

Narrow white for border one, the green one as larger last border

[@tonialtman3727]

Safety on your travles. Have lots of fun .

[@reneecorbin8501]

DARK ORANGE❤

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

I like the white.

[@donnawilliams7478]

I love it

[@helenaMe325]

I just love watching and hearing your accent 😁 I wonder what you will choose for the border. I like some people's suggestions of a thin white and then a soft peach/apricot or orange. The machine looks great but I couldn't handle that threading! I've never seen one so complicated and lot of holes rather than hooks for threading easily. It would drive me nuts. Luckily, I could never afford one 🤣🤣 Hope you enjoy yours, April 🥰

[@maryparsons5893]

Light orange

[@bethshepard1813]

thin white, then peach

[@daisy8297]

Thin white, then peach!

[@janeto7901]

do you have any of that teal/lt blue fabric for the border? I agree, I like watching your videos because you love quilting and have fun with it. My quilts are far from perfect and I don't care. I enjoyed making them, they are made with joy and love and passion and I see that in your videos. So keep going strong April!

[@beckipugh8124]

I also love Villa Rosa patterns and that quilt turned out so cute. I would use the white for the border and that peachy one for the binding, what do you have for the backing? Cute from Hobby Lobby also, Happy Quilting and glad you are enjoying The Rebel!

[@thequiltingcompound]

The green or peach. 😊

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

I like a thinner white first border with a 3” orange second border.

[@paulabecker7483]

The Rebel looks like it threads like the Qnique (15 pro) that I have. Flossing the tension disks is very helpful.

[@sharelynnbell6718]

Dark orange

[@juliecalvario9280]

The peach adds to the quilt without overpowering your quilt.

[@pamelahargraves4454]

Light Orange is my favorite

[@tamijohnson9898]

Two borders...one narrow then wider one!!

[@KayMcDermott-z4l]

Your comment on the machines power reminded me of the old tool time TV show with character Tim Taylor and Al

[@aprilscraftroom]

LOL. These are power tools with thread. 😉

[@lorraineyoung5119]

I think the white would be the best. It will show of the scrappyness better to me. 😊

[@crishertel]

Peach

[@joywest1740]

Dark orange is my vote.

[@tracyreed2271]

Thin white then green and use the pink orange mix as the binding

[@kristywilliams9181]

Dark orange.

[@margaretsmith8066]

I would go with Peach ❤

[@margaretlowans8429]

Definitely white first then whichever colour you prefer

[@jankalonick4771]

I would go for the white.

[@jackiehowell3646]

My first Singer had a bobbin case exactly like the Rebel. It also threaded the bobbin same way.

[@chriswilford3576]

My Featherweight is the same 😊😊😊

[@LibbyMcLeod]

April, I love watching you teach. You have such a sweet manner about you. Are you a teacher by profession? Just wondering. I am a Registered Nurse, but retired.

[@lauragreer5240]

Peach for border

[@KP-gw5zv]

I chose peach. That to me is the best looking.

[@valeriemaxwell406]

Green
