@@aprilscraftroom Last retreat I attended everyone was giving me their scraps because they did not want to have to take them home! I took them happily !!

[@sirfloyd1]

[@aprilscraftroom]

I am so glad you are inspired to make these quilts. You are going to love them.

[@marythibault8146]

I like the secondary pattern of big diamonds of the Christmas prints!

[@charlavaught2681]

I think a narrow red border with a scrappy outer border would be cute.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love that

[@c.h4178]

It turned out beautifully April I love it n might even try to make it 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@aprilscraftroom]

❤️

[@katrinahough290]

It looks great, I'd use an inner border of red and do a piano key for the outer border. lol, I put my comment down before Donna shared hers!

[@aprilscraftroom]

That would be cool!

[@wandawalker4191]

I absolutely love love love your quilt not a big fan of red but I do love the red in the middle and your red border but more than that I love your Grinch T-shirt you know I'm a big Grinch fan. I may have to try to make a quilt like that but I don't have a lot of scraps because I usually throw scraps away after I make a quilt. That material is history when i'm finished with it have a great holiday

YAY!

[@lindaphelps5751]

I love to watch the two of you together. This is a great idea. Maybe the two of you should host a retreat Others like myself could attend. It would be a blast. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Maybe one day!

[@marcellajohnston743]

Green or blue with a thin white sashing before the border. Love it. You are too much fun. Love your hair!! You and Di are a blast.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great idea! Thank you. April

[@dawnpoetsch3880]

I just love watching your videos. Makes me feel human when I make a mistake. Watching your videos calms my soul. Thank you

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@paulajohnson752]

You and Di should make 3 more star quilts and do auction's.

[@aprilscraftroom]

❤️. Never know what we will do

[@laris2328]

Great quilts. By adding a piece of batting, you'd get a great QAYG quilt. Both quilts were beautiful.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tip!

[@terryginter152]

Thank you for the larger quilt blocks. I love both yours and Di's, and so love to watch you work together. Both quilts are amazing. Merry Christmas

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love the red

Both quilts are gorgeous, Di since you. Are giving it away, be sure to send it my way, lol. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO BOTH !!!!!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! You too!

April. I love your quilt. I am not a small strips person either.

[@aprilscraftroom]

lol Thank you!!!

[@quiltgram3056]

Hi gals, this is my favorite collab quilt show!!!!!❤❤❤ And love the idea/hint of 'working from our stash' for both inspiration, ideas and just the fun of sharing. Btw, I was introduced to Di quite awhile ago when I stumbled across a show April did which included Di and have enjoyed the duo ever since. Hugs from Maine.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awww! 🥰

[@janeto7901]

Love both quilts and the secondary pattern the stars make is amazing - great job

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@opalpipkin6285]

The quilts are beautiful! I love them both. It is fun seeing the secondary patterns show up as well. Great video. TFS

[@aprilscraftroom]

Glad you like them!

[@lindapucillo7875]

Beautiful quilts. Love both. I cut up my smaller scraps to make pet beds, but the shelter didn’t want them, so I have two garbage bags filled with tiny scraps. I won’t cut up my scraps like this anymore. Instead, I will make a scrap busting wilt. Looking forward to more of you and Di’s scrap bash quilts. I have TONS of scraps. Hoping you have a very merry Christmas. Keep the videos coming in 2024, please.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hope you had a great Christmas too... thank you so much for watching my channel!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

A solid thin black border. Then a wider red border to match the stars. Both of these quilts are beautiful. I know I can make one. I love string piecing. Thank you for this wonderful idea and pattern.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for watching

[@jackiehowell3646]

Love both quilts. Actually made one like Di’s for my g’daughters birthday couple years ago. She wanted quilt with all different colors so I made this with different scraps I had, not Christmas. Love it and so did she. Love all your videos.

[@aprilscraftroom]

That is awesome!

[@bobbistone8888]

Love both of the quilts, so fun to watch. Merry Christmas!

[@aprilscraftroom]

thank you

[@patriciahanson9438]

Love this. I have many of the fabrics that Di had. Years ago I made my mom a strip quilt tree skirt and had many scraps left over. I am definitely going to make this using my Christmas scraps.🤗good memories.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love that idea!!!

[@patriciamoses2185]

Border the same color as the stars, I just love this quilt

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tips

[@wandawalker4191]

The red would be what I would choose...beautiful!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Agreed

[@marisanepote9255]

Both of your quiltas are beautiful! Both did a great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@anitanoland9188]

You ladies compliment each other- a win-win combination!! Love the secondary pattern which really pops on Di’s quilt. Both are beautiful. I have a lot of 90’s scraps but am afraid the Christmas reds may bleed. May need to limit that color. Thanks for sharing another great idea!

[@trinam2503]

Pick up some Shout Color Catcher before its washed. You just toss in it in the washer and atteacka the dye to its self do the quilt isnt stained.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome!

[@sharonschier8620]

What fun! I loved seeing and hearing y'all talk about your collaboration. Please do something similar again!

[@aprilscraftroom]

always fun to work together with Di

[@cheekymonkeysmom]

I love the secondary pattern it made with the strips. I have so much Halloween Fabric, I may have to "borrow" your idea. Thank you for sharing! Lovely quilts Ladies!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love it

[@belindabrown1128]

I absolutely love how you and Di's both turned out. I hadn't seen this pattern before. A definite one I will be trying very soon as I also have a ton of scraps!! Thank you!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lynnperschke3966]

I love when you an Di collaborate on projects these are beautiful

[@aprilscraftroom]

Ah, the dynamic duo strikes again! Di and I are like peanut butter and jelly - we just go together! Thanks for the love!

Funny thing... I'm doing the Bonnie hunter mystery with my 1990s tote I hoarded. I have in my hand the Santa fabric from the beginning, angry Santa, with a red background now

[@aprilscraftroom]

lol. sounds fantastic

[@sheilasnow925]

I love both of them, also the second block which looks like a kaleidoscope

[@aprilscraftroom]

I agree! Thanks for watching my channel!

[@Ez2beholli]

Ohhhh April, your Quilt turned out BEAUTIFULLY! ❤ I love it! 🥰

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@user-mc2tq4ry5j]

Definitely the red border

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- I would put a red border. If you want a different Christmas border I would still put a thin red first. I LOVE it! God bless.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great idea!!

[@janetschram3552]

Just love your and Di's quilts. Both are winners in my book. I'm going to have to see what Chrisrmas fabric i have to make these. Great job!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Have fun! April

[@susanrichtarcik5672]

April this is the best quilt ever with scraps. You and Di made me smile so much and I cannot wait to use my scraps and make one of these. Merry Christmas

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awesome!!!!😎

This would be a perfect qayg quit pattern

[@aprilscraftroom]

Absolutely

[@sheilajones9076]

Both quilts came out Awesomely beautiful, i wish i could do that. I just love what you do.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You can do it!

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Looks like a red zinger quilt made with selvages that was a quilt along with Pat sloan last year. Great idea for other fabric also.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jylromain6439]

This is odd but when I look at your quilt, I see red stars. But when I look at Di's quilt, I don't see stars. I see four diamonds that meet in the middle on a white background. Both quilts are gorgeous.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much !

[@teresagraham8141]

This pattern would look sooo good using red white and blue material. I love this might have to make something with this pattern.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Please do!!!

[@connieking9873]

This is so much fun when you two work together. I love that you “change it up. It shows we can also. Di and her scraps put me in my happy place. Thanks guys. Merry Christmas to you both. 9:20

One of my favorites you have ever done! It looks so good! I love the red border!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@kellihorger707]

Love your team up! Both quilts are gorgeous. Amazing they are similar, but still so unique.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@debcobb9739]

I have made a few string quilts but they were paper pieced. One was a quilt for a raffle and it was a huge hit. Now this gives me another pattern to try. I can't wait. A stash bash sounds like a great idea. Merry Christmas.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great job!

Smart idea -securing your strips! Very clever!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you!

[@shannonroe4762]

April, I love both quilts. I've been looking for a Christmas quilt to do. Probably will try this one. It could be done as a quilt as you go. Thanks for the inspiration. You're the best. ❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome!

[@micheleh4016]

It never ceases to amaze me how one pattern can look so different coming from different sets of hands. They both turned out beautifully! I did a similar scrap quilt with all my autumn colored scraps but I did it as quilt as you go then joined the blocks with sashing. Somehow I still had plenty of strips left over. Don't ask me how that happened! LOL

[@aprilscraftroom]

Love this!!!

[@elainelear4982]

Both quilts are gorgeous. Similar and also different.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yes!! Thank you for watching 😊

[@lindatonkin3802]

Oh wow I love both of your quilts.. they are gorgeous 🥰😊💖

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@lindy4462]

Ooh! I have some 90s Christmas fabric too, cutting it into strips may be just the thing! Like your larger version for sure... both quilts are fantastic

[@aprilscraftroom]

that is awesome Lindy! Hope you have fun with it !!!
