Easy 4 Patch Quilt Can Be Finished in a Day - Beginner Friendly
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This 4 patch quilt combines a 4 patch and a 10" square to create a fun twist on a traditional block. A 4 patch is a great starter block for beginners and yet matching seams keeps those more seasoned quilters interested. I have a pack of 10" squares from Joanns and a fat quarter bundle that I am going to use to make this fun 4 patch quilt pattern.

You and me both! I can’t cut a straight line for the life of me! But I always done is better than just sitting there and if the quilt police want to check me out, we’ll, go for it! My quilts are made with love, not perfection. 😂
❤
Ditto that! 😉
Thank you so much!

Another fun video. Love your no stress, guilt free style. My quilts are never perfect, but no one has ever turned one down. Keep inspiring us with new ideas.
That's the beauty of homemade. Perfectly imperfect😉
Thanks so much!
You did great. I always smile when you show up on my feed. “What will April do today?” ❤️
lol
I can't cut a straight line with an AccuQuiltGo!!! A woman after my heart! Well said! I am so tired of this perfectionism most people can't live up to!!!
❤️
I say "It has it's issues" about every one of my projects LOL It looks great and will be a comfy warm quilt to snuggle up in!

I love your colors and I also love this design .I will be in quilting withdrawals for the next three week .All five of my grown children are coming home to help celebrate my Moms 90th birthday . It’s been 12 yrs since they were all home and all 24 of my grandkids and great grandkids . We are all so excited to have them home to help Mom celebrate this amazing mile stone . So I won’t be sewing for a while but it will all be worth every second . Our kids are scattered from Mo to Ark.,to Ariz. But I will still sneak in some video time with you cant wait to see what’s next . Your my favorite quilter ❤
Happy visiting.🎉

I like the way you show your fabric as you sweep the iron across. That's a neat idea.
Thank you! 😊
@@aprilscraftroom I love your show ❤❤❤
Another great video and quilt. You are absolutely not responsible for a bad cut job! I love that you made lemonade out of lemons, you have such a wonderful attitude. I appreciate so much that you didn’t feel a need to put down Joanne’s or the person doing the cutting you just use what you had and had a great attitude doing it! Which is why you are one of my favorite UA-camrs and a joy to watch.
Thank you so much!

The finished quilt is so pretty, the fabrics are fresh. I have learned to stay away from Joann's precuts for the most part, but you handled it very well!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Very pretty and the slight off kilter squares you can say was part of the design! You say you don’t like pressing the fabric and then give us a montage of some very seductive pressing enough to make your heart go boom all those shots of beautiful fabrics. Another great video 👍❤
Thank you so much!

I love your flamingo t- shirt! I love it when my stash matches my purchases!! How 🍀 lucky!! Nice scrappy feel to the quilt top
Thank you!
Absolutely SO CUTE!! This turned out Great. Fun pattern, very lovely colors. I am a fairly new quilter, and have a huge family, so im making many quilts. I have learned 🤔so much from you, lately. You explain so well, you demonstrate and give great tips. I really appreciate your help. Thanks for sharing this with us.😊❤🍀🤟🤗🥄🥄🥄

You remind me of myself! Every quilt I make is imperfectly perfect!
I love the way you put that. Imperfectly perfect - perfect description.
Love the music in this one, April!

I did a quilt like this last year. It was Las Vegas Knights themed for my friend’s son. Obviously he was thrilled a few a few weeks ago when the Knights won the Stanley Cup! The quilt was easy and fun to make. 😃❤️👍🏼 Mine was a bit smaller with 8 inch blocks.
love this!
You are simply delightful! I'm doing to make this for a charity quilt - thanks~
you are awesome
Thanks so much for watching my channel
Love how that quilt turned out!
Thank you so much!
Love your 4 patch quilt!!!
Thank you! 😊
Been awhile since I’ve been able to sign in & SO happy to see how your Channel has deservedly grown!!🎉🎉❤
Thank you
I love my AccuQuilt cutters (yes, I have all three sizes!!! And more dies than I’m willing to say🥴🥴🥴! And I’ve also found those packs of 20 layer cakes at my ,kcal Joann’s - but I think I need to find more stores than just the one by me as I do know that different stores carry different fabric packets - besides, it’s fun to find something new!!! Oh, and I love your flamingo shirt!
Thank you!
I love your channel. You crack me up.
Thank you so much!

Loved this video! Always fun to watch you not get so "picky" about any imperfection that may come up. I haven't worked on a quilt in about 4 years...just got a bit discouraged. 🙁 Watching this video has given me some hope to start again. Thanks for your motivation!👍
yay
Thank you so much!

lovely quilt April x
Thank you so much!!!
Good Thursday morning to you🌞 I'm not a big fan of Joanns . you're not lazy , 🙅 I think you like quick results. We need to remember you get what you pay for.! So cute April ❤ another great quilt ,thanks for sharing happy 4th of julY🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you!
HI April. I'm digging your purple iron. I can't afford a new one right now but when I can ... I'm going purple! Your quilt is adorable, as was Maxine's walk on! LOL Take care and stay well. ~~ Lynne
thanks Lynne!
You came at the perfect time. Have some 10 inch squares and found fat quarters to match. Going to make your quilt. Thankyou.
Yay!!! Thank you so much!
Hope you have fun making it
Very nice, April❤ your colors are so nice. I love your pink 10 inch block. Simple & elegant ❤😊
Thank you so much!
If i had big enough dies i would definitely use them. I do not like cutting. The worst part of quilting for me anyway. I cant stand and cut bcz of my back is probably the reason. Anyway. I did a similar quilt using 3 charm packs. Tula neon and so cute! Love your wuilts as well! I think this is probably the first time I commented to you. Hi April i am Pattie😂✂️🧵💕
Hi Pattie
Thank you for your comment!
I really appreciate your time watching my channel ❤️
I like the way you chose to put the quilt together. 💗 I think the color theme is great for spring and summer. 🦋🌼🌻 Thank you for sharing. 😊🌹🦋
Thank you! 😊
I often struggle with precuts that aren’t the size they say they are 🤷♀️ Why do we have to put up with it 😳 You did a great job and you have created a lovely quilt 👏👏🇬🇧

Thank you so much!

Yes! That 10-1/2” four-patch yin made from that die is correct - AccuQuilt has included the seams so this block is really a 10” block finished - I’d rather have to trim a bit than try to work with something too small!
me too
I just bought that same 10 in square package ( along with some others) to make charity quilts. I will definitely add this pattern to my repertoire. I love watching your channel; you are a joy to watch.
Yea, good for charity quilts!!! They sew up very nice and quick!

As a newbie quilter, JoAnn's fake 10" squares were really frustrating for me. I tossed them aside and swore off Joann's precuts! Maybe after a little more experience I will figure out what to do with them!
I understand your frustration. I’ll give you a handy pointer from an experienced Quilter. It only took me 12 years to discover not all precuts are exact! Even those high quality purchased from Quilt Shops. Always measure your precuts for accuracy! Some companies will measure the “mountain” others measure the “valley” of the pinked edges. This is an extremely helpful tip to know. Best of luck to you! Welcome to the most wonderful world of art💕🧵
@@helenpeddycord2241 Thank you! I was surprised at these batches though because one side was barely 9" and I am not comfortable yet adjusting everything else down that much. I love math, but not that much yet! I will square them up and use them to practice half square triangles!
@@cheryldawnejackson - You are most welcome! I learned this from Maureen @ The Opinionated Quilter! Love her helpful content of “Stop wasting fabric” She is a math whiz! Me, not so much😂🤣😂
I’m thankful you didn’t just give up as a beginner. Good on you! Everyone needs to practice their HSTs 😩
@@helenpeddycord2241 thanks. That's why I look to see if they are pinked, and if so don't pick them up. It threw me 📴 everytime.
Sorry you had issue with them
I love that ten inch pack. Beautiful selection.
me too!!!
I have the same butterfly fabric from Joanns. Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, but I do now. 😊. Thank you
Wonderful!
Chocolate!!! 😊
Yum!!!
Love this pattern and your fabrics 💗
Thank you! 😊
When dealing with fat quarters, cut them into four 9 inch squares. That way you only need 18" x 18" "fat quarter" squares. Also if your "10 inch" squares are wonky, you still can get a decent sized quilt top. But if you're going to use starch of ANY kind, do it at the VERY BEGINNING. Bc you will have some sort of shrinkage on cotton fabric.
I use best press ... I love that stuff
thank you for sharing!
I love 4 patches. I can't cut or sew straight..I've learned to accept it. 😂❤
lol
Lovely quilt. And it will be just as warm and cosy as a 'perfect' on e. ❤👍from Somerset UK
Thank you! 😊
Just found your site. I love it!! Love this video. You have a new subscriber ❤
Yay! Thank you!
I love my accuquilt cutter and dies. I don't think you're lazy to use it!
love it too!
Fabulous
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

Nice quilt, I don’t have a quilt shop big or small near me. I shop sales but this is a good reminder to check my stash.
absolutely
That is great fabric! How awesome that you had a coordinating fq bundle of solids. I think I would have trimmed all the squares down to the same size before joining them together, just me. Will you show it again after it's quilted?
absolutely!!!
I love my accuquilt cutter and even use it all hat I can
me too
your videos are so fun to watch. love your quilt top
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!

Those are cute fabrics.
Thank you!
My JoAnn store never has a good selection of quality Pre-cuts… UTAH get us some selections of fabrics too!!
sorry to hear that
I love the set up of your sewing table. How did you create such a great working space
so many years of moving stuff till it worked
love your fabrics...looks great
Thank you so much!

Awesome job 😊 like your colors

It was unfortunate about the 10 inch squares. That’s why I do not buy fabric from Jo Ann’s. I did once and everything bled and was not even. I buy from quilt shops only now. Love your posts!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
Love your shirt
Thank you
Looks great to me
Thank you
Sometimes when you iron you lose about an 1/8 to a 1/4 inch on one side of your blocks. This is due to shrinkage of the cross grain of your fabric. Iron a block that you know for sure is right and you will see what I'm talking about. That's why I don't iron any more than I absolutely have to until my block is finished. Ironing the 10 inch pieces probably caused a shrink that changed the size.
thank you for sharing!
Love this helpful video April! You can’t go wrong with the Accuquilt! Love your flamingo tee💕🦩 Would you mind sharing where you purchased it??? TYIA
Accuracy is such a important part of sewing...iam working on Creating better cutting skills and making better seams..😊
So true! cutting is one of the most important steps!
I love it!!!
Thank you
Love it! ❤
Thank you! 😊
love this idea beautiful 😍❤
Thank you! 😊
Who even thought time lapse ironing would be so soothing 😅😅😅
Right!
Just make sure all the blocks are trimmed to 10” before sewing - I’m not grasping your problem! And of course trim the four- patch from the center!
Great tips
So cute.
Thank you
Another amazing and easy quilt pattern! Thank you and do you ever use spray starch when pressing fabric?
no I use BEST PRESS--- i love it so much
I love your quilt. I also love your green plate on your sewing machine and I would like to get one for my machine. Any idea where I can buy them? Thank uou in advance and greatly appreciate your feedback. Ram from Thailand.

Hi April 😊
hi 😍
Wish i had a design wall
easy fix! you can make one!
That's why I don't buy precuts! I would rather cu my fabric and then I know they are all the same size.
i agree... it makes a difference for sure!
I wish you had a white background on your board So your quilt pieces would show up better.
i agree
What did you use to make your design board? Thank you. I love your ideas.
And that's why I don't buy fabric from JoAnn's 😂 I for frustrated with 10" squares that were less than 10"
i feel your pain
I very seldom buy precuts for the very reason that they aren't cut correctly. You would think a 10 inch square would measure 10 inches.
you would think for sure
Hey April do you do canning? If so the ring and lids should fit the tops of those jars for canning 😊.
Thanks for sharing
I came a cross your craft room about 4 days a go you were doing a quilt with 9 fat quarets. you sewed 3 in a row and 3 rows you foulded them in haft and in haft again and cut on the foulds . At this point we had a power outage here how can I see this again can you helo me with this?
How do you hang your quilt at the end of the video? It’s hanging in front of your design wall. I love that idea❤
Static it clings to the flannel
Looks so cute - don't you hate it when you buy precuts and they are wonky?!
Always measure your precuts from all manufacturers🧵
@@helenpeddycord2241 absolutely, however, if they are selling 10X10 the cuts should be at least 10x10 and preferably measure right. some brands are really accurate and some are just not.
Absolutely
😊
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching my channel!
April
❤❤❤
❤️
You have to be very careful with the precuts from JoAnns. Not very accurate!
But, your quilt did look very pretty when you got it all together!
Thanks for the tips!
I use my unusable scraps to stuff my draft blockers.
Thank you so much!

One of the things I have been finding is that a lot of fabric is stated in inches and millimeters. The millimeter measurement is always the right one and it does not match inches well enough a lot of the time. I find it very irritating.
oh wow! I would too!
If we don’t have an Accuquilt, what size should the squares be for making the 4-patch block?
You can make them any size you want. But you cut out the same size the Accuquilt cuts the fabric. The only difference is that you have to cut it yourself. 😀
April
I see the sew steady grid you are using. How do you change your bobbin thread?
it is removable.
Yeah I can’t do a straight line either. But oh well I’m just learning. I’m making my first big quilt. I’ve made baby blankets for my granddaughter so now on to bigger ones. Lol. What do you use for your design board in the background with your fabric on it? I bought a 72 x 72 felt and my fabric does not stick to it. Any suggestions on what else to get I really do love
that idea.
hi
I did a short on the design wall ... hope you check it out ... it is a video on how I made it and the materials used.
@@aprilscraftroom Thank you so much. I’m using the back of and older tablet cloth but my small blocks don’t stay on it well. Lol. I made my first king size quilt. I just don’t know how to post it.
I have to say that I can not cut a straight line with an accucutter or a ruler that’s held down with weights or grandchildren. I’m pathetic and I’ve learned to live with that.
bless your heart! just do it your way girl and it will be perfect!
Did you ever make the pattern called "double slice"?
I have not. I will have to look it up. Thank you for watching.
April
What is your wall made of to stick fabric on😊
Check my video shorts
I did a video on the materials and how it’s made
❤️
