    Fran, do you realize you say "It's one of my favorites" about SOOO many quilts?! I know you love them all, but you must have ONE favorite!

      Nope. That's like asking someone to name their favorite child. I agree with Fran. I have lots of favorites.

    Since I discovered your 3-yard quilts in January 2022, I have made at least 10 of your patterns, purchased 5 of your books, encouraged my quilting friends to try your patterns and had my guild purchase one of your 6 books deals. I went into my sewing room and found so many 1 yard cuts to create enough of my own kits to make at least 20 charity quilts. Of course, your kits are so tempting that I have purchased 4-5 even though I already have more fabric than I can ever use. But the fabrics you put together for your kits are just too beautiful sometimes to pass up. Your customer service is stellar. You've changed my quilting world and I thank you so much. I not only make 3 yard charity quilts but quilts for special family and friends. If I lived in Texas, I would be begging you for a job just to work with such creative, kind people!

Can you do that with all the patterns and fabrics in the videos. It would be so helpful! Can you do a book and video on more traditional quilts and fabrics.? They're my favorite type of quilts. I'd love to add that book to my collection of Fabric Cafe books and patterns! Keep up the great work!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

      Hi Karen! The exact dimensions for each pattern can be found on our website, but most of the patterns finish at 45"x60". In our books we provide enlargement instructions for a twin and queen/king.
