Love, love love your patterns! I have them all except the patriotic book. Still on my wish list! I am constantly ordering three one yard cuts to make your quilt patterns!
Another fun and fab video. Just before you showed the two patterns made with Man Cave, I thought, "I wish Donna would show the same fabric made in two different patterns." Voila, you did it! I was going to write my "idea" in the comments before I even continued watching, LOL! I love it that you remind people that any 3 yards can be made into any pattern. Then you showed the same quilt pattern in two different fabrications and I am in heaven. Thanks so much.
I am an enthusiastic beginner. Your presentation of each quilt pattern makes me feel like I can do each one. I want all the books. I am and will be a new customer. I will also share with my family and friends.
Hi Lisa, We are hoping to return to in-person quilt shows at least by 2022! We will keep our preferred customers informed. Be sure you've signed up at fabriccafe.com. Which show is your favorite? Donna
I am so very impressed with not only your quilts but your organization and presentation. I appreciate seeing the side by side of the same pattern with different fabrics as well. Keep up the great work!
me too, I happened to see this this in the lineup and was very curious .... wow, the color/pattern selections (first one rose, lightning & corner play, etc) are so pretty, and simple patterns make it so fun & easy!
I love how you showed how to read the directions, the different fabrics used to show different looking quilts and the many varieties of quilts! It gave me the confidence to finally start my quilt!
Thanks for joining us! we appreciate MSQC for doing a review of our book! We post two videos per week. If you subscribe and click the notification bell, CZcams will notify you when we post a new video. Donna
I liked the comparison of the same fabrics in the recommended pattern and in the alternate pattern. I wish you would share the dimensions of each pattern.
Hi Carolyn, That's a great idea! Most of my lap quilts are 44" x 60". Because I'm using 3-yards of fabric, it only varies slightly from quilt to quilt. But I'll plan to add specifics. Thanks for watching! Donna
As an Australian I would love to see the metric sizes mentioned at some point, I grew up with feet and inches but we all converted to metric measures in the 1970s, it's doing my head in remembering how to measure in inches now that I want to sew quilts. There's so few Australian resources to check this out on and I love your designs. I want both queen and king sizes for myself and my children.
@@AnitaSouthall I can understand that! On our website, fabriccafe.com, we show the sizes of our quilts in metric. an example: Finished size of quilt: 44 x 60 inches (111.76 x 152.4 cm). I use google to convert between the two. Thanks for watching! Donna
@@AnitaSouthall If you look on our web site, we give the metric sizes of the finished quilt size in the description. When working with one of my pattern instructions, go to google and search for metric conversion. it fast and easy and will convert every measurement. I often use my voice command on the cell phone to say, convert inches to centimeters. Hope that helps! Donna
Hi Debra, yes! the 3-one yard cuts include top, border and a single fold binding. You add 3-yards for the backing. If you prefer a double fold binding, add 1/2 yard of fabric. Thanks for watching! Donna
I love the fabric that you used on the red, green and gold quilt, but unfortunately, you said you don’t have that fabric anymore. Do you have similar fabric with those beautiful colors?
Hi Patrice, Although it is not the same, I just ordered new fabric in red, green and gold. It can take a bit to get the fabric delivered, but we will show it in upcoming videos. Donna
Wow! Love your presentation, especially with the fabric already matched up. That's the hardest part for me! So which book is the one to start with. Would love to make a quilt in 6 hours!! Have my 1st grandchild coming, already have a bunch of fabric, now which book??? Keep the vids coming. Thank you!
Hello! If you are adding backing you will need approx. 3 more yards of fabric. The binding fabric is already measured into the pattern so you will not need any extra, unless you are planning on doing a double fold binding. We recently talked about backings and bindings in one of our videos that you may find helpful, you can find it here - czcams.com/video/rjjakaoBt6k/video.html
@@augustslady Thanks for watching! If you visit our web store, www.fabriccafe.com, you can check our google map feature which shows every quilt shop that has registered to carry our books. Donna
I absolutely have to have that blue metallic fabric used in the "Captivating" quilt. I love the feather fabric but it's the second one I must have. Please, what is it called and do you sell it?
Hi Lucille, you can purchase at fabriccafe.com. We post a new video showing instock fabrics as of the day of the video. If you subscribe and request notification, we will send an email when we post a new video. Donna
Hi Kathryn, You need a 3 yard kit for a lap, two 3-yard kits for a twin and four, 3-yard kits for a queen/king. Our books include patterns for 8 quilts in 3 sizes. A general rule of thumb is to make twice as many blocks for a twin and 4 times as many blocks for a queen, king. Because borders and bindings change with each quilt, if you need specific instructions, we recommend one of our books. Our books include patterns for 8 quilts in 3 sizes. Thanks for watching! Donna
Hi Joan, Thanks for watching! Our primary focus on this channel is to show how to coordinate fabric, read the pattern and how the blocks go together easily. Keep watching for more tips and techniques like this, including how some of the pieces are sewn together. Donna
I'm new to this channel, and I have a question - am I correct that the three yards of fabric is for the front, to include borders? How much then is needed for the backing and the binding? Thanks in advance.
/hi Zona, So glad you joined us! Three, one yard cuts of fabric will make the quilt top, borders and a single fold binding. If you want a double fold binding, add 1/2 yard. For your backing, you need 3 yards. See out website, www.fabriccafe.com, for a free instruction sheet on how to back a 3-yard quilt. Donna
Hi Cynthia, thanks for asking! It take 3, 1-yard cuts of fabric for everything you see on the front of the quilt--the quilt top, the borders and the bindings. You will need an additional 3 yards for the backing. We have a free download sheet on how to do the backings at www.fabriccafe.com/Free-Goodies-s/1916.htm. Donna

Great Question! From 3 yards of fabric, you are able to make everything on the front of the quilt --the top, borders and binding. You will need to purchase an additional 3 yards for the backing. Donna
Hi Judy, you can choose on our website for us to include a backing fabric if you like, otherwise they will come without a backing fabric. Thanks for asking!
Patterns r good, but it would be good to see u actually tell us the sizes to cut like Jordan fabrics and make a quilt, I can't buy your patterns as I'm in India. It would be useful if u told how many pieces to cut what size of at least one pattern
Thank you for watching! And thanks for the suggestion. I've chosen to use my channel like visiting a quilt show. I will be adding a few more tutorials in the future. The good news is that you can purchase and download most of the patterns from ETSY and they are only $5.99 each. Donna

Hello Michelle
Love that these quilts are only three fabrics
There perfect size for just a little something to take off the chill. If you get an additional 1 yard cut for a border its still very economical.
Just got my first book and going to make one today!
And the cool thing is you can make one in a day! Enjoy! Donna
