My Next Quick and Easy 3 Yard Quilt Tutorial - the Town Square Pattern
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- I am here to share my latest 3 yard quilt tutorial with you guys. I am going to use the Town Square design from the Easy Peasy 3 Yard Quilts book by Donna Robertson. I discovered her books and I fell in love. These are fun quilts with designs that look more complicated than they are to make. Well except the last one. And matching fabrics is one of my favorite parts of quilting. Donna Robertson makes it easy to create a beautiful quilt with easy directions. She has several books and she also offers the patterns individually. I have many more sets of 3 yards of fabric to make even more of these great patterns.
Join me as I walk through how I make the Town Square design from her book. I won't be sharing measurements as they are proprietary, but I can share how I put the quilt together. If you're a beginner or a seasoned quilter and just want some fun patterns - take a look at Donna's books.

Hi Sharon
Thank you for watching my video... and thank you for your kind words... I LOVE FABRIC!
I love your cat. Great video on this pattern. Thanks.
Thank you. :-)
Bellissimo........ E facile anche.... Grazie April.
Thank you for watching!
April
Oh my goodness, I so understand your cat relationship!! When I sew I have to put out a faux/cat decoy fabric pile!! Then the kitties leave my actual project alone. Lots of one on one kitty time once I am finished sewing!! Live your videos! Thank you for sharing!
A decoy - I like it! Thank you for watching.
April
Thanks for such great inspiration!
You are welcome. Ty for watching.
April
Love Donna Robertson’s 3 yard quilt books & have so many. I just need tutorials as a new quilter, & now you’re doing them!! Thx!
And I am working on another one now. I just LOVE these 3 yard quilts! Thank you for watching. :-)
April
Donna Robertson has a UA-cam channel. She will often do “pieces and parts” which is kind of a little mini tutorial
Focus on an easy one. As a new quilter, look both at the instructions ans the tutorials. They will give you confidence to proceed. I find it helps me to get the process deep in my thought process, and the I’m more confident to proceed. Once you do one , it become two and then three. Happy sewing!!!
Super cute! I’m a fan of 3-yard quilts and your sweet fur babies❤️
Thank you! 😊
i love the under the sea quilt and the heart one, hard to choose
They are so fun to make!
Thank you for watching!
April
I sure like this quilt design and the Valentine fabrics. Love the colors of the turtle quilt. Gave me an idea that I could use many designs of theme collections I have for the main fabric (patriotic or Christmas or food) and keep the other two fabrics more of a tonal and consistent throughout.
I have two cats. I remember trying to hand mend my coat using a long thread with a cat on my lap. It was like I was dangling a string for the cat....the coat did not get repaired. 🙀
I understand. Oliver has a tendency to walk off with small tools. I find them on the floor nowhere near where they should be. LOL. Thank you for watching and commenting.
April
Love watching you make the three yard quilts!
Thank you! 😊
Yes,I love Donna Robertson 3 yd Quilt patterns
Me, too. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
Great video. Glad to see its not just me who's cats are very helpful while I'm cutting.
Helpful. Yep that is the word. LOL. Thanks for watching.
April
Great timing April! Town Square is actually next on my list. I hope it’s as easy as you make it look. Thanks for a great tutorial!
That is awesome!!! Have fun making it ... I sure did!
Pretty quilts
Thank you
It’s because of you I have been making three yard quilts
Yay!!!
thank you for making this and showing me how its done I have trouble just reading and doing I need to SEE how things are done I LOVE THIS
I am a visual learner myself. That is why I usually end up with 2 quilts because I mess up on the first one. LOL. I am glad this helped you. 😀
April
I really enjoy the 3 yard quilt series and the quilts are very pretty. 💗💗💗 Your co-host stole the show today! Gotta love him! ❤🐈❤🐈❤ Thank you for sharing! 😊🍁🍂🍃🍊
My kitty is a hott mess!
Lol
Thank you for watching 😎April
Thanks for the great video! Love the Jimmy Buffett sweatshirt and I think your cat had impeccable timing - she didn't cause the mat to slip, but she was there to comfort you while you were distracted. I started using a hand weight on the opposite end of my ruler when I make long cuts. I've noticed my ruler slips less now. Donna Jordan of Jordan Fabrics does that and its where I picked up that tip. Looking forward to more quilting videos!
Yeah - my cat is a diva. LOL. I have seen Donna Jordan do that and I have a hand weight - I really need to pull it out. Thanks for the tip. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
I do the same thing, got the helpful trick from Donna of Jordan Fabrics too.
I agree. I found these and I'm having a blast. I'm raiding a stash I never thought I'd be able to use up and they're great for donations! I can even machine quilt them because the sizes are easy to manipulate. My confession - I've bought all the books lol.
Me too!
Lol
April
Quilt fabric choices came out so beautiful
Thank you. Fabric matching is one of my favorite parts of quilting. Thank you for watching.
April
Your "under the sea" quilt is beautiful!!
Thank you. 😀
Wow! I love the quilt with the fish and turtles. Its amazing!
❤🐢❤🐠❤
Thank you
April
Omg that ocean quilt speaks to me it is absolutely beautiful....thanks for sharing 🥰
I love it!
Thank you for watching
April
Very informative thank you so much.
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you for watching.
April
Oh, my gosh. My cat Sunny sprawls on the ironing board (with her head hanging off) at the MOST inconvenient times. You were admirably patient with Gracie when you were so frustrated with the cut. I would have stopped and played with her, too. Thanks for the great instructions. It's just the pattern I need right now.
Got to love those fur babies. I am glad you can use this pattern. Thank you for watching.
April
both gorgeous quilts but luv ur cat lol ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for watching!
April
I Love Fabric Cafe's patterns, so far, have all their books. Their patterns are awesome, very well written. For beginners, use post it notes to mark which fabric is 1,2,3. I too make variances to the patterns, I make the top as specified, then I incorporate ALL the remaining fabrics into the borders. Since I prefer double bindings, I take the fabric allowance for the binding and use them for borders. If I want the top to be bigger, (longer or wider) i buy more of the fabric i want as a border for that reason. Good video.
Thank you for the suggestions - post it notes are a great idea! And I'm with you - love adding borders to make these lovely quilts bigger. I have also thought about using a panel and putting the Fabric Cafe Borders around it. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
Love these two quilts! You did a great job picking fabrics!!
Thank you so much!
April
I love the under the sea!! Gorgeous colors together!😊
Thank you. :-)
April
Great video! Your cat is cute.
Thank you. :-)
You are most welcome. Your quilts are beautiful! ❤
Your videos are always so helpful! I really struggle with the cutting part and visually seeing how you do it for the 3-yard quilts is SO HELPFUL!!!!
You are so welcome!
Awesome!
April
Great video! Love your cat…makes me smile. I also love the three yard quilts!!
Thank you! 😊
You are so much fun to watch, I'm really enjoying your videos! Love your critters too. My favorite was the second quilt. 👍
😂😂 your baby 💕 needed mommy 😂😂😂❤️💕💕I loved that..
Thank you :)
April
Love your videos. Looking forward to more 3 yard quilts
Thank you. And I have many more planned. I just love those 3 yard quilts. :-)
April get a 5 pound weight to put on the end and your ruler will not slide. 😃❤️ Love ❤️ your videos.
I keep saying I am going to do that. I need to follow through. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
Thanks for the great tutorials , i luv the 3 yard quilts. I’m just afraid one of these times your cat is going to be missing his tail. 😂😂😂
I know right! But I promise I’m careful!
April
Very pretty quilts😀😀
Thank you! 😊
April
April I make a lot of her quilts too and always add a larger border to make it bigger. I love your videos.
Thank you so much! And thank you for watching. :-)
April
Hi April! Great job on both quilts. I am working on one now along with my sewing room being torn apart. I have all of Donnas books. Looking forward to seeing more of the patterns come to life.
I always seem to be rearranging my crafting space - it is a hobby, too. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
Loved the fabric colors in this quilt, nice and easy to follow your instructions.. keep it up
Thank you and I hope to keep it up. :-) Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
April
I love your fabric selections!!!!!
Thank you. :-). And thank you for watching.
April
I'm a fairly new/beginner quilter and have a Donna Robertson's book. Love that the quilts are not complicated or huge. I am about to start this same quilt! My problem? Sorting through my stash of fabrics and finding the perfect 3.
Her books are perfect for quilters just starting their quilting journey. I love her patterns for those very reasons too. It is funny because now when I am looking for fabric - I buy in sets of 3 matching fabrics for her patterns! Thank you for watching. :-)
Apirl
I really like that pattern! You can really showcase a lovely print in the center, or even an embroidered piece. I also love the cat and have that same problem sometimes! lol
Yeah it is perfect for when you want what is on your fabric to be the star of the quilt. Thank you for watching.
April
Embroidered pieces would be beautiful! I have seen people embroider onto fabric a child's drawing. That would be fun..
Love the cat.
Thanks. Me, too. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
I am just finding your channel. I came for the quilting but I stayed for the cat! Haha. I subscribed.
Thanks for subbing! Oliver can be quite persuasive. LOL. Thank you for watching. :-)
April
Brilliant April. Love your town block quilts! Thank you
Thank you. :-)
Love your videos! You are so easy to follow. More 3 yard quilts, please.
Coming up soon! Thank you for watching. :-)
April
The cat interaction made my day!
Lol
Thanks for another great tutorial. Love the heart quilt. 😊👍💕
Thank you. 😀🥰
April
Love this quilt!
Beautiful kitty!
Thank you. :-). And thank you for watching.
April
Love your kitty, I have 3 they do the same
Thank you. Oliver has a sixth sense and comes in when I am shooting. LOL
April
Hi from Australia I would like this pattern please love watching you
This pattern is in a 3 Yard quilt book by Donna Robertson. There is a link in the description. Thank you for watching and commenting.
April
Love these quilts- they look big!! You did a great job!!! I’ve bought a bunch of 3 yd quilt patterns too, you inspire me to quilt!!!
It makes me happy that you are inspired to quilt. Thank you for watching and commenting.
April
I love your fabric choices for the 3 yard quilts. I’ve like the patterns but not the fabric in the author’s examples.I’ll definitely be making some of these now and I’ve also subscribed to your channel. Thank you
I agree with you. I think the fabric used on some examples in the book don't highlight the pattern as much as they could. :-). Thank you for watching.
April
Cats always have to be in the middle of everything! 🐈🐈
LOL. Yes they do. :-). Thank you for watching.
I love your quilt and your kitty I just started a 3 yard quilt. Brick Street quilt. My blocks are supposed to be 10 1/2" squares. I messed up somehow on cutting some strips short by 1/8". So I've had to trim all my blocks down to 10 1/4". Also somehow I cut a strip at 11" instead of 10 1/2". I thought I was being so careful. 🤨
It’s an easy mistake to make-- speaking from experience
Lol
Get a 3-5 pound dumbbell to put on the end of your ruler for long cuts and it won't slip😁
LOVE IT
I loved seeing both your quilts. And, oh Gracie! I laughed until I cried!
Thank you. My furbabies are real comedians. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
Yum
Don’t forget the kitty fun to see
Peanut has decided she likes to stay upstairs, but Oliver will photo bomb my videos regularly. LOL. Thank you for watching.
April
💗💗💗
Thank you Brenda. Right back at cha. :-)
April💐
I love your animals 😻! Do you make quilts per request or do you just make what you feel?
Hi Anna ... I just make what I feel .. I find the fabrics and get inspired ...
Thank you for watching!
April
What do you do with so many quilts? I love making baby quilts and giving them as gifts.
Hi Grammy Judy ..
I been giving them to Friends / Family and Charity organizations
I love to make them and they love to get them... it is a WIN WIN
Thanks for watching my video!
April
I love your videos. Can you do a video on the backside? Thank you
Yes I can!
it is on my list of TO DO
Thanks for watching!
April
I think your kitty heard you sigh and senses you were upset and was a tually trying to comfort you.
Love your channel. What do you do with all the 3-yard quilts? Are the 3 yard quilts big enough for a full bed size or twin. Can it be made into a queen size?
I give the 3 yard quilts I make away - LOL. I have a long list of family and friends that I want to make a quilt for and then I will give those left over to Project Linus or any other worthy cause collecting quilts. The initial 3 yard quilt is a lap size quilt. There are directions in the books on how to make extra blocks to make the quilts as large as a king size. I usually add borders of coordinating fabric to make mine bigger instead of making additional blocks. Either will work. They are so versatile! Thank you for watching.
