Thank you to @lisamerick6614 who picked up an error in the video. It related to the cutting measurement of the grey strips. We were able to edit out the incorrect measurement but you will need to go to our website for the correct measurements (link in the description field). We do apologise for the error, we're not sure how this one snuck through.
At first, I wasn't sure about that block, but the black and white fabric really makes the colored fabric pop. Thank you for sharing your block tutorials with us. Cheers from sunny FL, USA
Very nice quilt, and easy instructions. At first when I saw the first block by it self, I questioned how the quilt would turn out, but once it was all finished, it turned out great. 🙂
Considered seam push is NEVER fussing around. Seam push matters. It makes a difference in the finished block. My hack when I get it wrong, I will do a seam clip to not through as we do in garment making so I can flip a seam. This pattern is lovely, and your method creates a lovely showcasing/framing of the larger blocks while giving the eye a place to rest. I think that your gray is perfect as in my view it is always the perfect neutral. Thanks for demonstrating. Now if there is a predominant bright solid in the fabric collection, that could also make a nice alternative to the gray.
I always enjoy your tutorials. I especially like this quilt! I would it in PDF form and be very happy to pay for the pattern. Anyway, I have sent you a thanks for all of the great content.
Thank you so much for the 'THANKS' Susan. It's so very much appreciated. We really want to make PDFs for our tutorials and were actually hoping to create one for this particular quilt but we ended up running out of time. The videos take a lot of time for us to create and the PDFs take quite a lot of work as well but we are definitely working towards making PDFs for future videos.
A stunning quilt. I think the gray fabric was just right. Black would have been too harsh. I have a ton of layer cakes and will attempt this quilt. I thought it was very wise of you to separate your layer cake the way you did. I never would have thought of that. Many, many thanks.
Every nice ,ill be trying this quilt pattern after the holidays. Have several layers for this project. Thank you as always I have always enjoyed you tutorials❤🙏🐦👀
If I had seen it I would have bought it too. I've learned if you don't buy it when you see it, you won't find it later. I did scour eBay so I think you beat me to it! Lovely fabric and lovely pattern. Thanks for sharing. I have become a big fan.
All of the measurements with step by step instructions and photos for our video tutorials are on the website. Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/2024/11/21/gooseberry-layer-cake-quilt/
I believe you misspoke. I don’t think the gray fabric is 5 inches. After sewing the 3 strips together the strip set would be 11 inches unless you are using more than a quarter inch seam allowance.
Oh my goodness, you are correct. The gray strip should be cut at 4" not 5". I don't know how many times we checked the video and it slipped by. We are working to fix it.
Thank you for letting me knowTammy ☺️. No you didn't miss it, I forgot to add it (have now added it to description and the blog post). It measures 72"x 97½”
This is a Fiskars cutting mat. I have added the link to the description. We have only just purchased this one recently and so far I'm very happy with it. It's available on Amazon amzn.to/49cRK83
There is an easier way to make this beautiful pattern. Cut the strip sets into 10 inch units. With the 5 inch squares make 4-patches. You see when she lays out all the pieces before she puts them together that it is basically first row is 10 inch focus print, 10 inch strip set, 10 inch focus print, 10 inch strip set etc. the second row is 10 inch strip set, 4-patch, 10 inch strip set, 4-patch, etc. You will only need 5 inch cuts of strip sets and a two patch for the outer border.
But when you sew four 5 inch squares together, they are no longer a 10 in. Square It’s 9 1/2” square. Because her strip sets were cut into 5” and then sewn together they are now 9 1/2” square. To solve the problem cut your ten inch focus fabric to 9 1/2” squares. Cut your strip sets 9 1/2 “. This way everything matches the size of the 4 patch
I think the black and white is a bit harsh. Also I think you created more work for yourself by making 5 inch cuts of this. I would just make a ten inch cut. The pattern is definitely fun but seems like it’s a bit overcomplicated.

Thank you for your lovely comment and sharing your tips Leisa ☺️.
Lovely, Thanks for all the pressing whys. the gray fabric is great , it frames the reds and blues
I absolutely love it. If you had chosen a very light gray the effect would also have been fantastic but more subtle. It's a win in my book!!
Thank you Becky 😊
Truly like this pattern. Great fabrics too. The grey and white are perfect as it gives definition around the colors
I'm so glad you like the tutorial and the fabric choices 😊
This quilt top is stunning! Thank you for sharing!
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL, REALLY NICE CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS.

Lovely quilt

Thank you Linda, I'm glad you like it 😊. I'm really happy with the grey now that the quilt is finished. I agree black would have been too harsh.
Beautiful!
Very pretty ❤
Great pattern, thank you for sharing.
Interesting quilt. I think I would have gone with a green that matched your printed fabric instead of the gray.
Great organization!
Thank you for the pattern and a very clear tutorial. 🙂
I use a smaller mat on my big mat for cutting... no need for expensive rotating mat ... works just as well.
What a great idea, thank you for sharing.
Very pretty
Every nice ,ill be trying this quilt pattern after the holidays. Have several layers for this project. Thank you as always I have always enjoyed you tutorials❤🙏🐦👀
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😊.
I love this quilt but I do agree that the gray was too intense. A softer gray maybe?
I love this!
Very cool pattern
Wonderful ❤
Cut the strip set 10x10. Less seams, sowing
So wish we had thought of that at the beginning 😊
After looking at the quilt, I had to think what you were referring to. That is fabulous idea !
I'd love to join craftsy
Nie easy one ❤
Very pretty quilt. I think you cut the grey fabric into 4 inch strips but mistaken said 5 inches.
Yes Carla, you are correct. I have managed to remove the audio for that part. All the measurements are on the website.
I wish they still made that fabric pattern.
Me too, I found this one on ebay. It's our second pack as we liked it so much when we first bought it.
If I had seen it I would have bought it too. I've learned if you don't buy it when you see it, you won't find it later. I did scour eBay so I think you beat me to it! Lovely fabric and lovely pattern. Thanks for sharing. I have become a big fan.
I wish you gave the dimensions of the gray and white fabric.

Great pattern! Thank you! Where can I buy the layer cake fabric? I didn't see a link.
Unfortunately, this is an older layer cake that isn't being produced anymore, Robin. I got this one on eBay.
Thankyou! I’m not sure if I missed it during the video but what is the finished size of the quilt?
Thank you for letting me knowTammy ☺️. No you didn't miss it, I forgot to add it (have now added it to description and the blog post). It measures 72"x 97½”
What are the widths of the strips for the strip pieces? I looked back at the transcript but I don’t see the measurements
You will find all the measurements on the website, Erika. Here is the link www.alandacraft.com/2024/11/21/gooseberry-layer-cake-quilt/
Please may I ask the make of your cutting mat I'm desperately looking for a new one xxxx
This is a Fiskars cutting mat. I have added the link to the description. We have only just purchased this one recently and so far I'm very happy with it. It's available on Amazon amzn.to/49cRK83
@alandacraft thank you so much I will go have a look xxx
Thank you for the tutorial--very nicely done. I really like the quilt pattern. What is the finished size again?
Thank you 😊. The quilt top measures 72″ x 92½”
There is an easier way to make this beautiful pattern. Cut the strip sets into 10 inch units. With the 5 inch squares make 4-patches. You see when she lays out all the pieces before she puts them together that it is basically first row is 10 inch focus print, 10 inch strip set, 10 inch focus print, 10 inch strip set etc. the second row is 10 inch strip set, 4-patch, 10 inch strip set, 4-patch, etc. You will only need 5 inch cuts of strip sets and a two patch for the outer border.

To solve the problem cut your ten inch focus fabric to 9 1/2” squares. Cut your strip sets 9 1/2 “. This way everything matches the size of the 4 patch
I think you are right. I just found Sewing all those bitty pieces together a bit tedious. I’d rather cut the 10 in. Square to fit the rest.
You should have just cut the gray and white between the layer cake as 10x10. I do like the quilt though!
Yes we could have Sandra 😊. Great tip, but at the time that didn't come to mind. Hindsight is a wonderful thing lol.
Что за неуважение к зрителю? Ни одного 1:32 размера не написано .
The size is in the description field of the video and also on the website alandacraft.com
Very pretty. So many possibilities.
I think the black and white is a bit harsh. Also I think you created more work for yourself by making 5 inch cuts of this. I would just make a ten inch cut. The pattern is definitely fun but seems like it’s a bit overcomplicated.
What happened was we were so intent on making the bigger block, that cutting the strips at 10" just eluded us. Thank you for the tip.
