Oh Fran----I have six books and 4 patterns and now I want this one, too! 🤩I love that you all break it down and make my mind dance with ideas and possibilities!
Thanks for the tutorial - breaking down the blocks in pieces and parts. showing the patterns are easier than they look. Bet Nebula would be stunning in red, white and blue!
You have created some wonderful quilts, and they are bold 🤩 I’m sure lots of people will be inspired to make them because you have used relatively easy to make blocks 👍 Thank you so much for sharing 👏👏🇬🇧
Fran, I'm looking at these four quilts and thinking, these can't be one block wonder quilts! Then you pieced them out and sure enough, you have managed to make one block look so complicated. Thank you for this book. I am looking forward to buying it.
What a great book. Can’t wait to get mine. Love these new patterns! Come on Fran, let’s do some sew-alongs. It would be so much fun. It would be great seeing these patterns in other types of fabric, as well. Most of these fabrics are very modern and “bold”, hence the name of your great new book, but many of us don’t have these types of fabrics on hand.
These new patterns look challenging but your breaking down the block certainly helps! Bold colors are not my color way but these are very pretty. Can’t wait to see these patterns in different fabrics!!!
I wonder on Starstruck if you swItched the #1 and # 2 fabric how it would look. I'm thinking the # 1 would be the center of the star. Love these patterns
Fran, thank you. Thank you, thank you. I've been down ill for 3 years, but I'm getting better and I can't wait to get this plus some of your other patterns to get quilting. 2024 is going to be a guilty year.
Unfair! I just saw this video, went to order the kits ALL GONE! Fran! You're killing me!!! I love black in a quilt and the bold colors are so beautiful, yet they are gone...I can't take it...
Hello Fran , great display of quilts and fabric, and design book. You explained everything very well, which would be a big help in putting any of these blocks together. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for this video I very much enjoy watching all of the videos you do.
I can count on one hand the number of patterns I have bought since I declutterred and purged a lot of my sewing room years ago. However Fran; your new Go Bold patterns are really tempting me. I love them! Great explanation also. Thank you.
So many great new patterns. I love them all but Gemstone is a favorite. I intend to make one for my granddaughter. She collects gem stones. Thanks for sharing and sharing tips for making them with us.
Fran, when you do pieces and parts and the block fabric is white and place it on white paper we lose the shape of the white because it blends in...so maybe try to put white fabric on black to have the shape show..but everything looks great and all quilts are beautiful.
What a great group of quilt patterns, Fran! So colorful and full of pizzazz! Can you tell me if you have enough fabric in your 3 yard kits to make the half square triangles using triangle paper (Triangles on a Roll)? Your patterns just keep getting better and better!
You may need to purchase a little extra fabric if you chose to use triangle paper. Check out our end of bolts and yardage on our fabric tab at fabriccafe.com.
I used one yard of a white texture in the #2 position. I then used two different fat quarter bundles I purchased years ago from Cherrywood Fabrics. I pulled approximately 17 different fat quarters from the two bundles all in varying jewel tones, from dark blues and greens to bright oranges and yellows. It turned out great!
I am from Australia and I have just found you on RUclips, how can I get your pattern books please. Also when you say a 3 yard quilt is it for each piece or all the quilt top
So glad you found us! You can check with any retailer in your area to see if they carry the books. Or, you can get a downloadable version from out web store, fabriccafe.com. the whole quilt top can be made with 3, one yard cuts for a lap-size. The books give you enlargement instructions, too. Six yards make a twin and 12 yards make a QK.
Silly me - I just realized that if I wanted to do, say red on white, all I would have to do is use 2 yards and one yard (depending upon their designations in the pattern.) Wow I could have had a V-8 moment 🤦🤷😸
Hi Juanita! You can visit www.fabriccafe.com and look at the fabric kits we have available, or you can give us a call at 866-866-0998 and Stephanie would be glad to help you place an order 🥰 Our stock on some of these kits are fairly limited, so act fast!
I love the quilts featured in this video. Love the fabrics: bold, colorful and playful. That asymmetrical quilt speaks to me! That's my thing.
Fran, I am one of those people who like things to be symmetrical. Several of these appeal to me. I need to get that book.
Wow! I love these two patterns! You really stepped out of your norm. Very bold and creative!
Oh Fran----I have six books and 4 patterns and now I want this one, too! 🤩I love that you all break it down and make my mind dance with ideas and possibilities!
Very interesting. Soooo easy.
Love the fabric choices in gemstone

So sorry Margare! It's a different type of video and feel the music adds a bounce and energy to our quilt making 🥰
Fran you really knocked it out of the park with this book!!!
Wow! This is awesome! This will be soo much fun! Love it. Fabrics you chose are perfect.
Fantastic! So full of info and tips. Can't wait till next Tues. to see the next one.
Such a great tutorial! I can imagine how these quilts will look in other color combinations! So exciting!

Give it a try!
Fran, thank you. Thank you, thank you. I've been down ill for 3 years, but I'm getting better and I can't wait to get this plus some of your other patterns to get quilting. 2024 is going to be a guilty year.
So glad to hear you are feeling better! It's not guilty! You deserve to treat yourself and have a fabulous quilting year in 2024!! 🥰💞💞
Just ordered the book today. Piecing looks so intricate, but you made it so easy for us! Looking forward to making the Starstruck pattern first!
Good luck Julia!
I downloaded my "Go Bold" as soon as Mac announced in on her channel. I am so doing "High Rise" and "Modern Art" straight away.
Can't wait til I get my fabric and my book! Ordered them Tuesday when I saw the video!
Happy days 😅 Hope you enjoy it!
It is amazing how many 3 yard quilts there are and are still being designed!!!!
We're not done yet! We work on new designs all year-round. 🥰
Thank you for using these prints. I believe quilts should be happy to look at. Visiting my local shop in KS to purchase.❤❤❤
Yay! So glad your quilt shop in KS carries our books! 🥰
Unfair! I just saw this video, went to order the kits ALL GONE! Fran! You're killing me!!! I love black in a quilt and the bold colors are so beautiful, yet they are gone...I can't take it...
Be sure to check out our fabric by the yard tab at fabriccafe.com. We may still have yardage of these fabrics or end of bolts.
Thanks so much!I didn't think of that...:)
This book looks like it is so much fun to make! I cannot wait to get my hands on it.
from Gerry- Can't wait to get this new book! You've outdone yourself. Blessings.
Hello Fran , great display of quilts and fabric, and design book. You explained everything very well, which would be a big help in putting any of these blocks together. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for this video I very much enjoy watching all of the videos you do.

Great tutorial. I have trouble putting squares together at times so this will really be helpful. I am so looking forward to this new book.
I really love Gemstones!
Very innovative! And great fabrics!
Love, love , love this book. Can’t wait to buy and try. Thanks for great explanations. I had no idea how to see some of these one blocks.
They are pretty sneaky! 🥷🏼
So many great new patterns. I love them all but Gemstone is a favorite. I intend to make one for my granddaughter. She collects gem stones. Thanks for sharing and sharing tips for making them with us.
Just ordered your book so excited. Blessings.
Love these.
Groovy!
Could you please include the quilting pattern (edge to edge or Pantagraph) used? It really adds the perfect finishing touch. Thanks.
Fran, when you do pieces and parts and the block fabric is white and place it on white paper we lose the shape of the white because it blends in...so maybe try to put white fabric on black to have the shape show..but everything looks great and all quilts are beautiful.

Not very computer savvy. How do I order these fabrics?
I love 'em

Contrasting paper under the pieces would be clearer. White paper and white fabric .. hard to see block details.
How do you order? The Christmas book?
You can find both of our Christmas books at www.fabriccafe.com and place an order today!
VERY NICE BUT I AM NOT A FAN OF HALF SQ TRIANGLES.
I hear you Marjorie! I think you'll be a BIG fan of our next book then! *hint* No half-square triangles! 🥰
Thank you Fran, for the helpful hints. I watched one of your instructional videos and I completed a quilt. It came out perfectly. 🧵❤️
That's so wonderful!!
