  • Do you love free stuff? I have a free quilt pattern that you are going to love! It is from the Fat Quarter Shop and you can download a copy for free. I am going to use this free quilt pattern to make a fun quilt. You can use the free quilt pattern as it is or you can modify like I do to get a different look. Even better you can modify the free quilt pattern to look the way you want the quilt to look.
    Do you love quilts, but have never made one? Are you intimidated by the idea of using a fat quarter bundle?
    Well, if so, we've got good news for you: fat quarter quilts are the perfect project to get started on. Fat quarters are perfect for making a quilt in any size you want? And did you know that it doesn't take much to make a fat quarter quilt look like a million bucks?
    In this video, I will show you how to make a fat quarter quilt using a free pattern that is available for download. You'll learn about different fabrics and how to use them together, how to choose a pattern that matches your vision for your quilt and modify it if necessary, and how to actually put the whole thing together!

    Oh April, you are wonderful.
    Our minds really do think alike lol.
    Never say never. Keep on going.
    Wether 4.5" squares, or 4.5" x 2.5", strips, (in our book of rule's we go by) it's no biggy.
    I just love the way you probably say to yourself "Heck no, I'm not starting back from scratch again, wasting fabric, time, & working twice as hard.
    I'm going to continue on, I will prevail, go forth, & conquer this sewing project, no matter what tries to bring me down, I will survive".
    Chocolate 🍫🍬 is the best of all, no matter what kind it is for me.
    This quilt is so pretty. What a great match of fabrics as well. I like the way it came out, looks so nice.
    Thanks again April, you hit this one right out of the Ball Park. 👍👌😋😛😝😜🤪🤩👟⚾🧢

    Thank you April. That happened to me with a quilt I was working on. I misscut(I know it’s not a real word but it should be!) the prettiest fabric. The ugly one I had misscut bigger than the prettiest fabric. It came out okay. I finished it and gave it away to a girl in my office who was getting married. She freaked out. She said no one in her family had never gotten a home made quilt before. She loved it. It made her cry. That was at least 20 years ago. She still loves it!

    You made me laugh as soon as you said you were going to change the pattern. Loved the outcome, and didn’t see anything wrong with your design, even though it didn’t follow the pattern. Love how you change things in a pattern, and how you are able to make it work. It is refreshing to see it is ok to not follow the rules and still come out with a great quilt. We need this!

    Good morning April. The quilt turned out very beautiful. I just wrote out the free pattern and now need to make it. I will have to wait on it though as I need to get my machine unpacked and have it looked at. Who know how long that will take. Anyways I will be using other material then the Kaufman fabric. Now you will need to show us how to do the quilting with the long arm that will be interesting. Enjoy and thank you.

    I almodt always make a mistake. Its why I always buy extra fabric.
    I usually work around the mistake somehow.
    I used o be devastated at mistakes, but I had to just be ok with them.
    A perfect sewer I am not
