Beautiful quilt. So glad you tell us about your mistakes because we all make them. There are no mistakes in quilting just design opportunities. Thank goodness.
Hello, I’m new to your channel. So glad I found you. We have the same iron, I’ve had my Oreck for almost 25 years. Your Maxine kitty is so beautiful, my daughter has one exactly the same color as yours, his name is King. I get to baby sit him while my daughter is away in Spain for the summer. Then I noticed your other kitty, you’re not going to believe it but I had one too, he passed away last year, I miss my Sonny. Also, I noticed that you can cut with your left and right hands, nice!
Fabulous fabric choices 🤩 You have created a wonderful quilt 🤩 No wonder it’s been claimed already 🤣 Thanks for making us aware of just ‘how’ to make this quilt without too much seam ripping 👏👏🇬🇧
I just mostly enjoyed watching your dimples moving up and down..as the French would day..adorible..and oh yes ..the quilt is ..as the rest of us would say..adorable..🇨🇦
Thank you! Thank you for showing us that it’s not always perfect the first time! This is the first time I watched your tutorial and I’m definitely subscribing. The quilt top looked amazing at the end.
This one turned out gorgeous! Love the color placement. I can see why Mr. Todd claimed it fast! 😉 Have a most marvelous weekend Miss April. It’s finally 75 degrees here in the PNW…time to get the boat out and catch a few fish. Wahoo. 🤗🤗
Turned out awesome. I loved when you say “your a skimmer”, me too. I used to speed read and that’s a habit to break You are a great teacher and are so real in and to move on when little Details are a road block. Important encouragement always presented. Thank you.
You said my name, 😮 I just turned your video on, not from the start. That was so funny.😂 When I reply this, and start from the beginning, I'm sure I will find you were talking to a different Jenny, lol. I just love how you teach us to sew. This is a great quilt. I'm going to try to make it. I've seen Chevron's before, but thought, no way Ho-zay.😂 I'm very inspired to try now. Thanks Chocolate chip cookie 🍪 lady.❤
Thank you, thank you, for keeping it real!! So many people make it look too easy and we never see the struggles from cutting to pattern reading etc! I struggle with all of it but forge on. Your kitty is a hoot and you are very enjoyable to watch! Thanks April!! 😊 The quilt is beautiful!
Oh My Gosh, I love watching you because I have made some of the same mistakes. However we stay the course and end up with a beautiful project. THANK YOU!! I love that you go on camera and teach others without hiding your learning experiences. 😂
Im a skimmer too. .not always a good thing 😉. Love the quilt, the fabric choices and order (that green in the middle....wowzers!!!), love your honesty and sense of humor! Hope you enjoyed the quilt show!
Good morning ☕️ thank you so much for showing us how to make this quilt, I absolutely love the colours you have chosen. love Maxine 🐈⬛the way she walks over your fabric cutting tableI, I four cats and they do the same thing I’m glad I’m not the only one who has the walking over The cutting table. Looking forward to your next project.
Sometimes we end up with little detours when we skim a pattern or recipe... Been there and done that :) You made it work in the end and it looks so cute! I would probably have ended up making some triangles instead of cutting off the "overhang". To get a bigger quilt :)
April i was so excited to see you making a quilt out of my favorite fabric by Chong a Wong I have most of those fabrics and now i know exactly how to use it to make your quilt lolit looks amazing
Awesome pattern ! Maxine is very interested in sewing 😂glad you made the ab & bc mistake for us cause I too am a skimmer & would have done the same thing! Off I go to start cutting!
This is a great quilt but more I like the fact that even with a couple variations you Redid them and it turned out awesome. Even using “Jack” just reinforces our mistakes are fixable and don’t really change end result of a quilt . You reinforce the need to follow the basics of cutting and measuring, the pressing and not ironing and watching out seams. Thanks for this tutorial
Thank you, April, talk about 'skimming'---I think I looked through this catalog and tossed it =( {I'm trying sew hard to not buy any fabric, am 80 and I know I'll never use up what I have already}
Tried to make one with smaller pieces. Did the math wrong and ended up with one side 1/2 inch shorter than other side when first two pieces sewed together 😂😂😂 so now doing rectangles 😂😂 4:33
I love a good chevron!! I also skim because the numbers and fractions and words make my head spin. I know it’s the standardized way they write quilt patterns, but honestly, it’s so hard to get through them. I would rather have a diagram of the block and a measurement of each piece noted rather than these long lists of instructions they all present. 🙃 I’m much better with visuals than with all those words and fractions. And if it has 7/8” measures, I’m going up to the full inch. Or I skip that pattern altogether. I know it’s “quilt math” but honestly….😂 i generally want to see yardage requirements, then I add a little for over cutting and possible mistakes. But after that, please just show me the block and give me dimensions for the sizes. I would rather reverse engineer it than go through those endless lines of instructions. Hope the show was fun!!! ❤
Hey April! I love the fabrics you chose for the Chevron Quilt. It looks amazing. Can you tell me what the pink/gray/maroon quilt is on the other design wall? I love the pattern and the colors. Thanks for the feline cameos too. Take care! ~~ Lynne
Hi Lynne ... I have an upcoming video on that quilt ... I will tell EVERYTHING on that video... (coming soon) Hope you are doing well...and thank you so much for watching my channel.
Okay April, just laughing with you here. Did you have an English teacher in high school that passed out a test saying 'read all instructions before going forward '. Funny thing is the end said print your name at the top,then turn it down. You are done. LOL go on press your fabric, layers are better pressed, and big wow is to press out the center folder off the bolt. I know you know, you were in a hurry, however I'll bet the time saved cost you several times overall. Love your "show " a great big Texas hug.
LOL. I failed that test Every time! You would think I would learn! But I am extremely hard headed. ha ha. One day. Maybe. LOL. Thank you for laughing with me. 😀 April
Your cat still loves to play. There is still a lot of kitten left in that cat. Your quilt top turned out beautiful. I bound one quilt with uneven sides. I thought I would never get it finished. After all that extra work, I did not like the quilt (because of those scallops all the way around the quilt. I will never make another quilt like that again.
When you were cutting them different ways I knew you were going to have trouble. You can use your cutting mat but then all of them have to be that way. I only say this because I have made this mistake.
I'm a skimmer too haha...sometimes I only look at a picture and never look at the written instructions haha🤣 Great Video April❣
I am so guilty of this too ... LOL
Thanks so much for watching!
Love the quilt - and your kitty - and the bloopers! Thanks for keeping it real. I can so relate! 😊
I think our brains just want to jump ahead of our hands! It's a gorgeous quilt; have fun in Paducah!
Thank you

Thank you Jenny
Love the quilt, but I would also LOVE the recipe for Mum’s famous chocolate chip cookies - the crunch was unbelievable!!
I believe the recipe is on the back of the bag of choc chips from Nestle.
thank you for your kind words about the quilt ... thank you! April
I love your design wall
Thank you! I love it too!
I’m not good at reading directions either. And end up ripping a lot. It is beautiful

I'll have to try it.
Yay! You should

Thank you, April, talk about 'skimming'---I think I looked through this catalog and tossed it =( {I'm trying sew hard to not buy any fabric, am 80 and I know I'll never use up what I have already}

But when it’s so pretty I can’t resist
Lol

Crumbs I got a. It lost just listening. Hehe
LOL
What do you use to fold your fabric on, for storage on your shelf? Cardboard?
Hi Patty ... I use comic board .. See the link in my description ... I put a link
Hello April, is there a pattern for this great quilt?
it should be listed in the discription .. if not .. send me an email to aprilscraftroom@gmail.com and I will try to help you find it
I want to find a printable copy of the pattern, but my search did not locate it. Can you help me?
When I find my catalog, I will take a picture. LOL. Thank you for watching.
