Thank you so much! I think the pattern on this one was super easy .. the hardest part on this one was deciding what colors to use. thanks for watching! April

Outstanding quilts. I like 1st color way but that's just my preference; they're both great. 😊.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! April

[@conniekirby851]

Those quilts are really pretty! When I have watched fabric cafés with this pattern it was kind of iffy for me but you have shown me how nice it is. I enjoy your videos April and thank you for all the tips! God bless you!

[@aprilscraftroom]

I am with you. The first time I make a 3 yard quilt I usually mess something up. I just have to get in there and do it to truly understand the process. I hope my mistakes prevent others from making the same. :-). Thank you for watching and commenting. April

[@jennyrichards7083]

Love both quilts but by far the second is my favourite! Thanks

Thks for doing these. Love the red, white and dark. Not much for novelty quilts but that's just me.

[@aprilscraftroom]

The red, white and dark is my favorite of the two as well. :-). Thank you for watching. April

[@Kate98755]

since the second is for a child the dogs are great. i'm making a dog christmas blanket for my granddaughter now, grandson is getting a dinosaur theme, kids love the novelty fabric.

[@suehorn4182]

You make me laugh! I like this pattern ❤️. I vision it in shades of blue.

[@aprilscraftroom]

That would be pretty. If you make it I would love to see it. :-) April

This would be a great design to showcase a special fabric, or embroidery in the blocks. I am going to have to get that book! Thanks for the tutorial.

That is an excellent idea. I have an underused embroidery machine. :-). Thank you for watching. :-) April

I love that we keep choosing different patters this one isn't on my list but I might need to add it!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you. My goal is to make every one of those quilts eventually. That is my stretch goal. :-). April

[@kimberlyann1029]

I love Donna Robertson's 3 yard quilts, and your tutorials. It's nice to see how other people pick fabrics. (And it's "colorway" when referring to a group or arrangement of fabrics. Just an FYI!)

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you. And thank you for the correction. :-). I appreciate it. Thank you for watching. April

[@cathlyndeutsch9209]

Her Modern Views book is my least favorite, but you do a great job in your tutorials. No one should cringe...sewing down a strip like you do is smart sewing and very time saving.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awww - thank you. I do like to find time savers. :-). Thank you for watching. April

[@suellenterry1424]

Hi April I love your 3yard tutorials these quilts are lovely Can I ask how you made your design board please?

[@aprilscraftroom]

Of course. My Craftroom is in my unfinished basement. At one point in the past my youngest daughter had a permanently temporary room in the basement. We put up 1 x 4’s and attached the pink board insulation. We put fabric inside the room for the walls. So when I asked my husband to cut out a door from what was my daughter’s room we put flannel on the pink insulation board and my design wall was born. Probably way more than you wanted to know. LOL April

[@suellenterry1424]

April Story Thankyou that's great 🤗

[@aprildahlberg6615]

I like your second color way better then the first. What fabric line is it from? Both quilts were done beautifully. By the way, my name is April also. I think that might be why I like watching your videos (plus they're done great). Tks

[@chaklet1ct]

Very nice tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Do have a link for the fabrics used in the second Quilt version?

[@aprilscraftroom]

Here is a link to Etsy searching on Wild and Whimsy by 3 Wishes which is the fabric line I used: www.etsy.com/search?q=3%20wishes%20whild%20and%20whimsy%20fabric. Let me know if you need more info. :-) April

[@amywarnick4393]

Thank you for all your hard work in showing us how to quilt! I have a question, What is your display wall made of? I cannot find anything except baton which does not last long - for me. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hi Amy... It is the easiest thing to make ... You will need a big foam insulation board (bought mine from Home Depot) and cover it in FLANNEL fabric ... that is it ... my husband mounted it onto the studs of my unfinished basement. The flannel makes it stick by the static Hope this helps April

[@christinedwight6896]

I have a question, what do you do with your finished quilts?? Do you keep them giving away or sell them?

[@aprilscraftroom]

I donate some ... I give some away to friends / family ... but alot of them I can't let go. Thanks for your question! April
