[@debbiedobbins6785]

Oh my goodness Miss April this turned out so so adorable. I just love the two color version. Just pops in ALL blocks. The layout is awesome too!! What a fun project / challenge. 👏😊👏😊

[@nancymccollough1479]

Soooooooo happy for you that you invested in the computerized long arm! You are so deserving! I on the other hand, love my quilter gal and tooo easy to let her quilt for me. I love to design the top and let her wow me with her quilt designs. Again, sooooo happy for you!

[@joz1801]

I never ever ever fast forward or skip ahead in your videos because I never know when I might miss something that's important because I have learned so much

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awwww. Thank you.

[@sherryfaires7931]

Your quilt turned out just beautiful! I like the way you added different sashings, too! Your shows are instructional and entertaining!

[@elainelear4982]

The quilt is stunning. Love the Black & White contrasts.

[@CherylONeal-e1f]

Beautiful! You should be proud of yourself for doing something totally different for you! And I like that you kept the colors in the gray family, which is not something us quilters often do.

You are absolutely right about everything you said about sewing small blocks! Excellent series! Ireland is awesome! Good food too! I learned about tearing fabric in the 70s!

[@unowen9668]

This series was so fun to watch! And the quilt is so pretty!

[@michellebusta3507]

I agree white is best

[@pattimize5742]

I just love it!!! It was so much fun watching all this with you. Thank you!!

[@Mickey-jo1hf]

I do use HST often, your black, white, gray tones are lovely as is the layout. 👍

[@AmandaVialon]

OMG, Miss April, this came out so gorgeous!!! Don't worry about giving it away. That just means you'll have to make yourself one now 😂😅😊

[@barbarawiedrich9699]

I love it!!! Stunning!!!!! I'm going to make one too. My sweet mother just passed away on the 20th so I'm sort of busy making plans. She was an amazing sewer and cook. I hope to be half as good as her in sewing quilts, cooking, not so much. thanks April, you make me smile today.

[@LauraSup]

I have to agree with you! I love my AccuQuilt! It is a huge time saver for me and I don’t end up with cuts that are inaccurate or unusable! I wasn’t able to join in the challenge because both my husband and I have been dealing with some medical issues and we both had to be in the hospital at different times over this past year! I have really enjoyed watching your series and am hoping to be able to work on this quilt in the new year!❤

[@Mickey-jo1hf]

🙏 for you both to have complete recovery.

[@LauraSup]

@ thank you so very much!❤️

[@melanietaylor0401]

Hope you're doing well , 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@amyhofner6777]

The quilt came out beautifully. I think you would love SewTite Magnets for your Grace Frame, it’s much easier to load than the little tube.

[@simplyquiltingwithnancysanders]

Yes, I love using my Accuquilt. In fact, I'm making a Christmas sampler using the blocks from the 10 inch Qube this year. I also quilt on a 16X, but mine is only hand guided. Love yout quilt.❤

[@margieroberts790]

The quilt is beautiful. April how many pets do you have? I keep seeing so many different ones in your videos.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. 🐱 😀

[@teresarathurn824]

Love your quilt! I guild does a raffle quilt every year. My part was blocks with 2 1/2" HST! Like you, small is not my thing. However, the pattern called for us learning the strip tube method. It was very easy and very accurate. A few months ago, I bought the Quilt in a Day square up triangle ruler and it was a game changer. I not longer have an issue with squaring up!

[@terryginter152]

Your quilt is beautiful. I am a more colors are better person, but your quilt is stunning! I have learned so very much from you, and appreciate all you do.

[@desleybartlett322]

Love the quilt April, and I only wish I could have entered. Mabe next time 🤪Desley Australia

[@debbiepenalber1369]

Love it! Wish I could have sewn along with you, but I had too much going on! I love triangles, especially doing them with triangles on a roll!

[@connie651000]

I love it. This turned out amazing and beautiful. .

[@cathyplatt6948]

[@patevans1048]

April, you did a fantastic job. It's beautiful

[@grams5580461]

Love this quilt. Great Job!

[@kathyshoemaker449]

It is beautiful. Good job. Maybe you should write a pattern for it

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

😍 Your quilt is beautiful

[@TeriGuirguis]

this is gorgeous. I love the whole series.

[@beckipugh8124]

That quilt turned out stunning! May I ask which Die did you use to get the 3 1/2" they have numbers on the on them? Also you were talking about subbing in panels to do this quilt, maybe next year we could follow a long while you show us how that would look. Happy Quilting!

[@justinthyme9478]

April your HST quilt is beautiful.great job

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you 😀

[@jeanettebenton]

April have fun I love the quilt, some of us don't have the dycutter op I would love to have one

[@michellebusta3507]

I have a longarm

[@ChristineIsabell-y2r]

I sent in my pictures of my very first half square triangle blocks as well 😢

[@connie651000]

What did you use to put hold your fabric on the back bar ?

[@fransak2723]

Are you using the spline to load your backing? I have a Grace frame on my Juki longarm with the spline. I don’t use it. It never seams to hold very snug. I’d love to see a slower close up of how you load it. Thanks. Fran what is the name of the quilt design you used?

[@proud2bktsmama]

What is a spline?

[@fransak2723]

@ have you ever seen how a screen is repaired? They use a very skinny tube which is pushed into a track holding the edge of the screening in place. My longarm has a spline (tube) which is pushed into a track and holds the fabric in place. I’ve not had great luck with it but I do love the concept. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hi Fran. I didn’t know the proper term for the spline. LOL. I called it the fish tank air hose. 🤪. And yes I use it. It holds tight enough to start rolling up my fabric but not so tight that I can’t adjust the fabric if needed. I will definitely show a slower close up the next time I do it. 😀. Thank you for giving the real name for it. The quilt design is my own. I am having the pattern ‘professionally’ written up from my pitiful attempt. I will share it when it Is done. April

[@pattimize5742]

How long total does it take to complete the quilting part alone?

[@marciahowe9555]

OMG April! Baste the edges of your quilt down!! You are asking for trouble trying to quilt it without having the edges secured. You are going to end up catching the edge and ruining a quilt top or even worse, messing up the timing on your machine. Ask Di from Sister Chicks about basting the edges. I am sure she can help you.

[@chriswilford3576]

Or go and watch Tiffany’s quilting life, she has numerous quilting videos 😊

[@joanweissenburger632]

Are you quilters the 12 days of quiltmas this year?
