Who knew a huge 9 patch could evolve into such a beautiful quilt! Love the binding technique too.....Thanks for sharing.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are welcome. And thank you for watching.

[@ninatrusty2057]

I love how you carefully explained how you prepared the backing, and also how you started and enmeshed your binding. I'm an old and experienced sewist, but many younger and less experienced folk are joining the ranks. You have done them a great favor. It was well explained and demonstrated. I love the fat quarter bundle and your finished quilt.

[@christinacruden886]

😮

[@christinacruden886]

I LOVE YOUR GORGEOUS WEDDING RING.❤️💋🇨🇦

[@destrygraves]

I love that you made a different version of a disappearing nine patch. It has always been my favorite. Bonus points for knowing that Frankenstein created the monster. Most people don’t.

[@ecoquilting7077]

Thank you!... For not calling this a "beginner project" like so many youtubers would. .... Always pre-press! (couldn't resist😉)

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanmanz2234]

I love Tim Holz fabric. This pattern will work so well for all the beautiful prints that are now available.

[@131dyana]

I love the brown fabric for the back. Love the quilt. Thanks.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

That fabric is stunning ❣️ even through your video it looks so beautiful. I have no to tell you something you already know😂😅😂❗️iron baby, iron!!!😂🤣😂🤣 I had to jump back in and say WOW, WOW, WOW❗️❗️❗️❗️ this was incredible, I’ve done a 4 hour quilt but a 3 hour?😱 great video April!!!

[@carenstory8425]

Love the colors. And I need some of that thread too. Love the big 9 patch cut up 🎉❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tip!

[@anitanoland9188]

Thanks for sharing your adventure from the very beginning when you open the fat quarter bundle to the finished quilt!

[@gigiontube]

Now I’m in trouble. My grandson is in love with your quilt. Very nice fabrics indeed. Thank you ❤️

[@joyphillips3069]

I'm glad to see someone else do their binding like I do

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yay!

[@elainelear4982]

As always, a lovely quilt...in 3 hours. Wow.

[@judymoen674]

Love the 3 hour quilt, never thought of doing it that way, plus cutting and swapping pieces is an awesome idea for a totally pieced quilt. Great tutorial, always love watching your shows I usually catch the replays. Thank goodness for replays

[@aprilscraftroom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marygem]

So, you're saying that your friends are the fabric police?😂

[@aprilscraftroom]

Lol

[@donnak8745]

Beautiful fat quarters

[@tonialtman3727]

Very nice and yes manly Thank you .

[@debbiedobbins6785]

I really like this quilt Miss April. Fantastic example of how to use large pieces to show off super cool prints. That bundle worked marvelously…and you didn’t spend days on end cutting and piecing it back together. Love the richness in those prints. Have a terrific weekend. Hopefully I can catch your Live this weekend. 🤗🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

❤️

[@joanweissenburger632]

Like this quilt. Going to make.

[@Quiltycat-dq3ys]

It's called a hump jumper, often used to go over bulky seams when hemming jeans.

[@francesgraves4550]

Thank you so much for showing how to bind with that angle! I am going to try that method next time, seems tidier than the way I have been only joining them together.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I’ve been in the hospital the last seven days I am just now watching this and it’s really awesome

[@aprilscraftroom]

hope you are feeling better

[@dickworrall123]

That little tool is called a hump jumper. Great idea for a quilt.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Oh thank you!

[@Carylanne927]

fabric is art. these style fabrics are best shown in large pieces, nice choice.

[@Dee_B23]

April your Masculine Quilt turned fantastic! Can't beat some of Tim Holtz's Fabrics for one. Your Tutorial is spot on with enough details to know what to do. Thank you! 🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@daisy8297]

Looking extremely smart today, April! 🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@klueless1011]

I’m so glad you’ve gone back to this kind of video. It’s so much easier to watch

[@aprilscraftroom]

I'm so glad!

[@user-fl6be2gh5y]

Hi Angela, I'm a self-taught quilter. I began the journey 26 years ago and didn't know how to end binding so I did it the way you did and haven't changed may habit as I found it worked extremely well. Elissa [greetings from Australia].

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wonderful!

[@aktam99]

I am now a subscribed fan of April’s Craft Room and Tim Holtz fabric! I just ordered a half yard bundle of the Abandoned fabric to make a quilt for my 37 year-old son, which I have been struggling with for months. Thanks to you & to Theresa from The Sewing Channel for bringing your channel to my attention.

[@susanswanson8404]

The all purpose tool is also called a hump jumper. Love your videos!

[@lynnshepard7485]

Cool tricks you showed today! Thank you. I love how this quilt came together, and the fabrics are gorgeous. 😘

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@gigiontube]

I use this binding technique especially for mug rugs or table runners where there is not to much space to do a bias sewing of the ends.

[@amweg21]

I like this version... have done the 9 fat quarter one a couple of times and also taught a Zoom class...thanks April for another version

[@tracyburkart2950]

This is so in my wheelhouse! I’m all for big pieces and easy quilts. I will definitely make one or more of these. Love your channel.

[@janeahrens572]

You’re one of my fav’s! And you remind me of a good friend who always “resolves” her fabric!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Oh thank you!

[@francesgraves4550]

Love that fabric Di! Lovely quilt.I talk to myself all the time while I quilt. lol sometimes say the same things you do esp when cutting things.

[@JeanMcDoniel]

This is a great way to make the 9 patch and cut up on all 4 sides 👍

[@dahlieanamoktar7120]

🤤Tim Holtz…I have paper products to match his fabrics! I appreciate this because now I think I can muster the bravery to cut it up! 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

You can do it!

[@lynnperschke3966]

Great job April.

[@aprilscraftroom]

❤️

[@colleenjolicoeur6059]

Beautiful. I’ve been kind to everyone so far today, working on the eating some chocolate mission. I like to follow instructions you know.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Ha ha. 😂

[@DanaStark-uu8zl]

Love love love this quilt...

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you.

[@DanaStark-uu8zl]

I ordered me a fat quarter and I'm going to try it too.

[@knittingnana2939]

Ive used that monofiliment thread before and it works great. But the thread thats woefully underrated for garment making, specifically gathering, is elastic thread. Wind a bobbin with it, stitch a line and voila you have gathering. Just the way you want it. No more two lines of stitching, pulling up threads etc. The other thing thats underrated is stitch witchery- that gossamer " tape" that you can use to hold things down when you iron. Theres all kinds of uses for it. And its permanent.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Great tip!

[@conniel.4601]

That really looks neat.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you

[@elizabethamis9376]

Beautiful work. I think your personality is wonderful, cheerful but not too irreverent. I hope that makes sense. ❤👍from Somerset UK

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@carlaatkins2619]

Wow. Wow. Wow. I even have the same FQ. Love the binding method. 🎶💐💖

[@user-oo4lq4sz4n]

I have missed your non-live posts - the live ones make me feel bad for not joining in at the time ❤ I'd love a scrap bag but I'm in the UK and it'd cost you more than the benefit I'd get if you sent it to me. I get more joy from watching you than any scrap bag, you're just wonderful and funny and brilliant 😂 shame the fur babies didn't participate this time but I'm sure they'll join in soon ❤

[@nanrussum3805]

Gorgeous quilt. One of your best. I’m going to try one.

I love this! I’ve been looking for a masculine quilt pattern for my husband. Oh, snd that thread, what a wonderful idea. I will be adding that to my thread stash. I can’t wait to try it.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wonderful!

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Ww some awesome tips on binding and clear thread….tks

[@SewingWithLawayne]

April early in my sewing/quilting journey I did one of these. It was quick and easy.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Just the way I like em.

[@francesmcburney1291]

So pretty. ❤❤

[@Tla81]

Thank you for this quilt! I’ve been looking for a way to use fat quarters with very few cutting for a quilt! I was taught after putting on the binding on the front, is to hand sew the back binding. After doing a few king size quilts, it would take me about a couple of hours. I used to work for a custom drapery shop. I loved it until the owner retired. Now I just do my own stuff.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awesome!!!

[@notripquiltingandsewing4372]

Excellent use of the Tim holtz fabrics! And I love the binding technic.

[@gailg129]

Fantastic quilt pattern! Can't wait to make it. Thank you!

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@lisagilbert8472]

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome!

[@jeanettebenton]

April that is very nice 🎉

[@winwinmyfriend4727]

That's so very cool. ❤ I love the masculinity of it. Would be great for a quilt for my brother. 😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

It really is!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

I have floral fabrics that would work great using this pattern. Thanks for the idea.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You are so welcome!

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Great quilt and lots of useful information too. Thank you😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robertaallen4785]

This would be a great way to use a small panel

[@kristiruthellis9315]

Your little tool you couldn't name is often called a Hump Jumper. Because it helps you with those bulky seams such as on jeans.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Absolutely

[@pamlacey136]
