Free Quilt Pattern + a Fat Quarter Bundle = an Awesome Quilt

[@georgianelson5038]

I love your attitude of teaching a quilt pattern especially when you change the size of the pieces unintentionally. Your recovery is great and I like your new quilt!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@donnacolegrove4113]

It turned out just great! Just a different top than you first started out making. Nothing wrong with that.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks a bunch! Lol

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

Oh April, you are wonderful. Our minds really do think alike lol. Never say never. Keep on going. Wether 4.5" squares, or 4.5" x 2.5", strips, (in our book of rule's we go by) it's no biggy. I just love the way you probably say to yourself "Heck no, I'm not starting back from scratch again, wasting fabric, time, & working twice as hard. I'm going to continue on, I will prevail, go forth, & conquer this sewing project, no matter what tries to bring me down, I will survive". Chocolate 🍫🍬 is the best of all, no matter what kind it is for me. This quilt is so pretty. What a great match of fabrics as well. I like the way it came out, looks so nice. Thanks again April, you hit this one right out of the Ball Park. 👍👌😋😛😝😜🤪🤩👟⚾🧢

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!! You can do it!

[@inabailey2981]

You are the best. You make sure to show its ok to messup and then how to finnish it. And in the end it always looks great. Thank you.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@HandmadebyYingwithDonna]

You totally made my day girl love the recovery and it shows us ALL how to bounce back.. looks fabulous

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you Donna. :-) Hugs Girl! April

[@amyhofner6777]

I think it turned out great. Some mistakes are meant to be embraced and counted as blessings. Thanks for sharing ❤️😁

[@aprilscraftroom]

Absolutely!!

[@deborahdoherty3823]

Thank you April. That happened to me with a quilt I was working on. I misscut(I know it’s not a real word but it should be!) the prettiest fabric. The ugly one I had misscut bigger than the prettiest fabric. It came out okay. I finished it and gave it away to a girl in my office who was getting married. She freaked out. She said no one in her family had never gotten a home made quilt before. She loved it. It made her cry. That was at least 20 years ago. She still loves it!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awwww

[@mariejohns1387]

Lol opposite day!! I love how you make patterns your own! If I want a quick big block I always rely on you? Ya got me out of a pickle many times. Love this one ❤❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love that!

[@debbiedobbins6785]

Improvise 101 at its best. Nice job. 😉 still came out gorgeous. Have a marvelous weekend Miss April. 🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! You too!

[@lindapucillo3493]

You made me laugh as soon as you said you were going to change the pattern. Loved the outcome, and didn’t see anything wrong with your design, even though it didn’t follow the pattern. Love how you change things in a pattern, and how you are able to make it work. It is refreshing to see it is ok to not follow the rules and still come out with a great quilt. We need this!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awww. Thanks!!!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I love that you change patterns because I do too. Thank you!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Lol Well this one was an oops Lol

[@TinaGemmell]

Just want to say that your videos bring me joy. You’re such a positive person. Great quilts. 🙌🏻

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awww thank you so much!!!

[@tootiekennedy1168]

Great way to make lemonade from lemons! April , a pattern is just like a recipe. It’s just a guide or suggestion😊. Do it you way. Wonderful quilt! Tootie

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tips!

[@rethaschoch64]

I love the way you give permission to make changes to suit your own tastes.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Lol

[@donnaroach5983]

Your the greatest quilt pattern redesigner ever!!!! Your recovery quilt top is beautiful!!!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wow, thank you! Lol

[@LilaSterling]

I love this comment. April, you should add this as a caption on your video...(April, the greatest quilt pattern redesigner ever...Donna) Or have your "other self" say it into the camera. lol

[@geraldwhite3523]

Way to make Lemonade April! Love the water color fabrics.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@BeckyMortonWeeks]

I love your mess up quilt! Just write out the directions and give it out as your own! Haha

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great idea!! Lol. But I think I’ll leave that to the pros

[@jessicamarsh9524]

I love that your not so critical of yourself! ❤. No one will ever know you didn’t intend it to be that way because it’s beautiful anyways 🥰. Love it.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!

[@Wanda6308]

Hello April, It is so good to see you again and visit via tutorial. May God Bless you and your family. Thank you for what you share and teach us. Have a very Blessed day sweet friend.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@sheilacarroll7143]

The fabric colors are beautiful! The end result is beautiful as well, so I would say it's a win, plus you have your own quilt design inspired from Robert Kauffmans quilt design. Great job! Thank you for sharing. 😊🦋🌹

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! Thank you for watching ❤️

[@lauraroberts8879]

I also shop at Busy Lady. Usually stop there after my prayer blanket meetings held right across 44, because we quilters almost always have something we need or want!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks Laura! Can’t wait to see you there sometime! Thanks for watching!

[@gingertexan]

I also made many Nursing caps from fat quarters! Needed them during pandemic, still using them for those bad hair days.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love it

[@kyliespiller2163]

I love how you make changes and make the pattern your pattern I love the quilt. Thank you for another great video love watching your videos 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@judycreary6260]

Fabulous recovery miss April, beautiful quilt 💖

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@mrgarner4796]

This is just too funny. I love the recovery...I love the quilt. Sometimes I have trouble following a quilt pattern with the fabric I have. I am just winging it right now with my 'on point' rail fence.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You rock!!! That’s awesome

[@bingealicious5387]

Quilt turned out wonderful. Also Milky Way Dark is LIFE. ❤❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

Lol

[@ArtsyRVBum]

This is my first time watching one of your videos. Outstanding. It is so comforting to watch a video where everything is not perfect. Since non of us are perfect. I had such a laugh at your mistake in cutting. Brings back fond memories. Love your video. Keep them coming. You are awesome.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wow, thank you!

[@anitajones3372]

You have taught me that even cutting errors can turn into beautiful jewels. Now l think how. would April handle this dilemma?!? Just love your tutorials 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

You rock!!!! Thank you❤️

[@marybond9321]

Another one for the books! When you hit a snag, as my friends and I would say, "Pivot!" I'm working on altering the Boardwalk pattern, too. :)

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love it!

[@donnawilliams7478]

You and I have so much in common. I just love your videos. I feel so normal with my mistakes. Not normal but I feel better about them.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I'm so glad! Thank you for watching my channel ❤️

[@trekkiemary]

I would have been devastated if I made that mistake. Thank you for showing how a "mistake" can result beautiful and unique quilt

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- Making lemonade from lemons- you rock! It's a great quilt. Blessings

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@treechickens3295]

To quote Bob Rossi (painter)… Happy Accidents! Beautiful quilt.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love Bob ross

[@cherylgates7848]

Wow, it looks great! Love the fabrics you used. I'm a fat quarter junkie, I just love them! Okay, okay, I'm a fabriholic and fat quarters are like shots for me, lol! Thanks for sharing the pattern.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Me too! Thanks for watching!!!

[@kathyhart5105]

Nice recovery!! 😊 I hope to see your long arm in action! Getting a long arm is on my bucket list!! One of these day…

[@aprilscraftroom]

I’m getting it going - videos on long arm coming soon and more frequently

[@pamboone6921]

Hi April, It really did turn out awesome! I love it. Good job! ❤️

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thx Pam

[@micheleh4016]

I loved at the end when you said with such flair;" looks nothing like the pattern. " LOL

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@patcorona5979]

I like the vertical background strips. Great recovery.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@anitanoland9188]

Your imperfections are perfections! Love your creativity and how you resolve or recover from minor details!! Thanks for sharing!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@scottydog6539]

The quilt came out very pretty. I love milky ways. They are great frozen.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yes they are!

[@nitababcock3977]

It's always cool to invent your own design!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Lol even when it’s not on purpose Lol

[@KP-gw5zv]

Good morning April. The quilt turned out very beautiful. I just wrote out the free pattern and now need to make it. I will have to wait on it though as I need to get my machine unpacked and have it looked at. Who know how long that will take. Anyways I will be using other material then the Kaufman fabric. Now you will need to show us how to do the quilting with the long arm that will be interesting. Enjoy and thank you.

[@aprilscraftroom]

That’s my plan

[@elizabethamis9376]

What a joy! Lovely quilt.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@LilaSterling]

I love, love, love, it. It came out beautiful. I like the patterned fabric in small stirps.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@LilaSterling]

I really enjoy your funny side. It makes me laugh. I also like your "other self" making comments.

[@marypennington3525]

I love you and your videos you are hilarious. Take Care and God Bless.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@margaretshaw1562]

When you asked Alexa the math question, my Alexa answered! I love your tutorials. I feel like I’m visiting with a friend.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love that! And I’m so glad!

[@AnitaSouthall]

How it turned out reminds me of an apartment block in New York city. Like lots of windows so whatever pattern you use it has modern city vibes.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love that!!!

[@cindyhappel7376]

The quilt turned out great! Thanks for sharing! Love me some chocolate!!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@carlaatkins2619]

April, I've noticed your Olive Wood cross in the back ground. I have the same one. Blessings and Thanks for your dedication to teaching me, new suscriber. Your friend from New Mexico, Carla 🎶 💖 💐

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hi Carla... welcome to my channel! Thanks for watching .. and Oliver is a hott mess! and I have another kitty Maxine ... she appears in other videos

Your design wall is the bomb! ❤️

[@aprilscraftroom]

Me too, it’s so easy to make and so functional

[@lyndapatrick8303]

I like it! But yes it needs a strip on the left! We call it a happy crafty mix up, not a mistake , just a new pattern trying to be born

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love it

[@cathyplatt6948]

No mistakes new patterns😂😂. I like your idea better!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@Kera.S.]

[@wilycat5290]

Yep, stuff happens. When we accidentally get lemons, we make lemonade 🍋. And it turns out fine. Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

[@aprilscraftroom]

So true!

[@sandranader8954]

Nice recovery, I love how it turned out!! I'd say it's better than the pattern.😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@maureenkaskela3232]

Yes, they are beautiful.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@mkbdesigns]

Great looking quilt top....Love it!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@thebeehivebuzz9884]

I really admire how you can recover from "mistakes". Lovely quilt. Have a blessed day!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I would not be telling the truth, if I said that I don't make mistakes. You didn't let the mistake stop you. Your quilt top is beautiful.

[@aprilscraftroom]

We all make ‘em Lol

[@sherryfaires7931]

April, I really like the way your quilt top turned out! I actually like the slimmer strips better than the squares. Purples are one of my favorite color families! Your candy choice was a good one, too…since I don’t enjoy dark chocolate! Keep up the great work!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!😍

[@joyscranfield5527]

SCORE! you did it again April & it looks good. Enjoy that chocolate cause I'm out again, chocolate that is.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!

Thx

[@laurielasley6568]

This is the first pattern I bought and made.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yay

[@AltruisticYou16]

It's all in the recovery is now going to be reminder. Instead of beating myself for my mistakes. I set aside my second quilt ever because of my frustration with a mistake. I think it's time to recover.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Lol Sometimes it’s challenging

[@connieking9873]

Question. If you had cut your printed fabric to the pattern directions would you also have increased the strips? I like this pattern and your choice of colors.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you!!!

[@roxeannesexton8447]

Like Bob Ross always said in his your happy little accidents I love the quilt top

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love that

[@robinadams6614]

Great recovery!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks

[@ettakaynickel6148]

Love your creative variation to the pattern. I agree with you that it needs that final column of print. Do you store your fabrics on boards in wooden crates? Trying to figure out your rectangular boxes.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yes - I took the wood crates you can get at Michaels or Joanns and built a storage wall with them. It is my happy wall - it makes me smile when I look at it. :-) April

[@nondanelson9553]

I would like to see you use this quilt pattern, as directed, using the Michael Miller refractions with Ombre jelly roll. The table runners you ended up with just didn't... satisfy.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for your feedback Nonda. I am confused about the table runners though. If I remember correctly I made a quilt. LOL April

[@nondanelson9553]

@@aprilscraftroom you turned your quilt into table runners in the end of the video.

[@lynnessewimperfect825]

Hi April. Those fat quarters are just gorgeous. By the way, I enjoyed the "kitty bomb" in the background in front of your computer screen. Is she a new addition? Such a pretty gray and white fur baby. Take care! ~~ Lynne

Cute quilt! Enjoy the alter ego in the background. Mine speaks often. Keep the videos coming. I am notorious for straying from original pattern. It’s ok.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks!!!

[@cathlyndeutsch9209]

The left and right side don't match pattern wise. That would bug me, but I can be picky with that sort of thing.

I am adding a border to the side that doesn’t have one. It bugged me too. LOL April

I almodt always make a mistake. Its why I always buy extra fabric. I usually work around the mistake somehow. I used o be devastated at mistakes, but I had to just be ok with them. A perfect sewer I am not

Neither am I But it’s still perfect in my eyes
