I don’t usually comment but this quilt is perfect for my aunt and uncle who have a ministry. I am going to make a3 block wide runner (I think) for their big table. Thank you for being the girl next door who inspires me to try new things. God bless you.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Wonderful!

[@TheSewingChannel]

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you Di I appreciate you watching ❤️

[@daisy8297]

That blue background fabric is AMAZING! And yes, I wanted you to pick the blue border🥰

[@aprilscraftroom]

thank you

[@janetdarrah1222]

I love that quilt. You picked out beautiful fabrics and with the border. I'm not ready for all that free space either, so I'm glad you showed it in a different view. Absolutely beautiful.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@darleenross710]

I love to watch your cat! I had one with colors nearly the same. Got him at 3 weeks old. Amazingly, he still had his tail when he died at 20 years old. He wasn't so bad about batting the fabric around. But when I used my domestic machine, he sat on it swishing his tail.

[@Dee_B23]

Absolutely beautiful! Love how you put the colors together. This is my new favorite Quilt. Of course Oliver stole the show but you're a pretty good sidekick though...lol 🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

I totally agree! Oliver!!! Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@charlottepuglisi2893]

Thank you for showing the part about trimming to make sure all blocks are the same measurement.

[@wilycat5290]

Go blue 💙🔵 border. Your choice of background is fabulous. I love the quilt top. Thanks for the video 😊👍💕. So good to see Oliver 🐈

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! 😊

[@geraldwhite3523]

I LOVE the background fabric! I've seen your little dog wandering in the background before. But, never heard the name. Also Oliver is a little pill today I hope he didn't scratch you.❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

her name is Gracie 💚

[@cathyplatt6948]

Beautiful quilt and I love the large blocks to show off the lovely blue fabric. Again well done April!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much!

[@LorineLo]

I love this pattern! But I’m going to make my plus signs look like crosses by shortening the sides. I love your choice of fabrics! ❤❤ BTW - I went to Harbor Freight and bought a suction apparatus for my ruler. Thank you for that advice!❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yay!!!

[@sandracedar368]

How fun! And so nicely explained from fabric selection to completion. Thank you✂️🧵🪡❤️

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@EmilyBailey-xm9xi]

LOVED the white cross and blue/teal quilt top! Love the colors and pattern. Gotta save some money to buy fabric. Where would you suggest I purchase some from?

[@aprilscraftroom]

either joann or your local quilt shop

[@malindahawkins6551]

I'm watching replay love this quilt thanks for the PDF downloaded it have a baby cousin due in September

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry-Good choice on the background. I might have just bound it in navy without a border. Well done as always. Blessings

[@aprilscraftroom]

oh i would have liked that too!

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

That is the fabric that I thought you would use for the border. You and your cat remind me of my son trying to do his homework while watching TV (many years ago). He did not want to do his homework at the table in the other room; because, he wanted to watch TV. When he put his paper down to do something else, my cat sat down on it. He would have to remove the cat to go back to work. The cat would also get on his book when he put it down. I guess Bugszy (my cat) thought this was a good way of getting Bobby's attention. I solved the problem by buying a lap desk. Your cat was having a wonderful time getting your attention. Your quilt top is beautiful. What are you going to back it with?

[@aprilscraftroom]

cute story! thank you for sharing

[@NinaofFour]

How gorgeous is that quilt? My favorite color is blue so I think it is eye catching. The background color is awesome! What size is the quilt by the way?

[@aprilscraftroom]

I will have to look it up and put in on the video I gotta go back and measure it

[@daisy8297]

Couldn’t most of the + block be strip-pieced? Just a thought 🤗

[@aprilscraftroom]

great thought

[@annetrenary2875]

I have the same cat problem, he (CC) is constantly in the way!! Your quilt is beautiful!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

lol Thank you so much! Thank you so much for watching my channel! April

[@sheshefaxio5697]

It's beautiful! I think blue stripe border is perfect. Your kitty is an amazing helper ❤😂

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@lindapucillo7875]

Love the quilt, and the blue border works really well with it. Would have liked it better if you had two borders. A thin white one and then the blue wide border. I think the blue would stand out more. Still a great quilt, and so easy. Thanks!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thanks for the tips!

[@lynniep1905]

I chose the blue one. It looks amazing! I'm trying to organize my jelly rolls to make my first quilt. I'm thinking about a rail fence.

[@aprilscraftroom]

You can do it!

[@scottydog6539]

Love your choice of the big bold blue floral fabric. I think your choice of the border fabric is correct. It really looks nice. I thought the other fabric with the green would be nice, but, your choice is better looking for that quilt. The blue green might have been too distracting.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@ggfarms9136]

New sub here! Just wanted to shout out to you and let you know how awesome your channel is. I just started quilting. Or learning. Can’t really call it quilting yet but I am making a quilt from one of your videos! Our personalities are very similar. lol. Keep on keeping on. And eat some chocolate!😊

[@aprilscraftroom]

Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to my channel! Thank you for watching ❤️

[@sallyoakes7709]

I don't know which I love more - the blue print or the cat! I'm partial to the border with a little green. It picks up the green in the background of the print.

[@aprilscraftroom]

the cat of course! lol Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@elizabethamis9376]

Love the quilt-thanks for sharing. ❤👍from Somerset, UK

Man, oh man, that is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@beckyblankenship6640]

The blue is my choice. Turned out so pretty. Quick question, approximately how much of your 11" square fabric did you use by using the blue stripe for the border? Cause I would like to use from my stash, thanks❤

[@shirleyhanson6132]

Me, too! Thanks, April, for another "down home and natural" video. Love your animal assistants, too!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hi Becky... I will have to go back and look ... I went on vacation and got a little behind ... I will try to find it and come back to this to answer you.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you! I will have to go back and measure

[@kimmckinney3564]

Thank heavens u did not do the original colors, love your fabric choices,too fun!!!

[@aprilscraftroom]

Glad you like them!

[@germansheph5890]

The blue border coordinates better. The green fabric is nice but it has more yellow than the background fabric.

[@aprilscraftroom]

agreed!

[@sandi1263]

Your cats are very active but I think your dog is lazy lol. BTY, I love your videos and you are very creative.

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@aprilscraftroom]

yes! I decorate for all seasons

[@pamboone6921]

Hi April, Wow!! This is definitely a awesome beautiful quilt. I really didn’t think you’d pick that blue stripe but so glad you did. But I bet the green stripe would look great also. Oh yeah baby I’m making this one for sure. Thanks for the pattern. God Bless ❤

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@lovingnawlinsjazz5316]

Beautiful 💋 I'm new at this but I'm going to try this Thanks

[@aprilscraftroom]

yay!

[@szelop]

Gorgeous! Love the fabrics! I would strip piece 4” strips then cut them into 4” rows to cut down on sewing individual squares!

[@kathywickins]

I was thinking that as well. After doing some 3-yard quilts, I love this method.

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my channel! April

[@lindamedlin9453]

Beautiful fabric. I think I have some large print fabric that will work. Gonna make this one.

[@aprilscraftroom]

yay!

[@anndalynnketellapper8296]

Love the finished quilt! Glad you picked the blue 💙 and oriented it horizontally. Do I see green in the quilt and border?

[@aprilscraftroom]

Yes! Thank you!

[@kimberlynapier9974]

Love it. Can you make a strip of blue white blue and then cut it by 4 inch strip for top and bottom of cross

[@aprilscraftroom]

love that idea!

[@anitanoland9188]

The quilt top turned out gorgeous! Thanks for another great pattern and idea!! No chocolate?

[@aprilscraftroom]

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for idea... i love sharing ideas... I agree it might have been quicker!

[@deathdiablo22]

I've watched this video about 10 times now and I think I'm going to try it out. Instead of doing all of the little 4in parts I'm going to see what I can do with sewing the strips together first. Hopefully I can make it this weekend. 🤞

[@aprilscraftroom]

Hope it’s fun❤️. You can do it!

[@deathdiablo22]

​@@aprilscraftroom I just have to sew my rows together now and add the borders. I asked my partner what he wanted for the colors so we went to Joann fabrics. He picked out a green with white dots that's almost a Tiffany & Co blue and a white on white for the plus. Thank you for being such a positive crafter!

[@gregconniepryor255]

[@anitafoney3580]

Hello April… Do you pre wash your fabrics? Will that bleed into the white? 😮 Just an idea to think about.

[@aprilscraftroom]

I do not pre wash my fabric. I use color catchers when I wash the quilt and I haven’t had an issue. Even when my fabrics are red and white. Thank you for the question and watching my channel. April

I'm glad you picked the blue stripe. I'd be inclined to use the green/blue fabric on the back as a surprise. You could construct the backing with your 108" green backing fabric that you choose.

Thanks

Yes
