You have inspired me to go through my stash and sort into different size cuts. I found and matched enough 1 yard cuts to make about a dozen lap quilts. I have 2 of your books, and can't wait to get started!
Wow love your mind .Its so hard, part of me wants to jump up and start a quilt the sensible part says "watch more video" Sometimes easy is best and as a new quilter my mind is now running with must do patterns .inspirational 3 yard ideas.thankyou soo much
Sew Yeah Quilting out of Las Vegas has been promoting all your patterns. They had a quilt drive and suggested your patterns. They now sell pre-matched 3 one yard cuts just for this purpose. Everybody loves your patterns!
That's is awesome! We appreciate all the shops which now carry our patterns and books and encourage sewing enthusiasts to visit their local shops. They do such a great job supplying your needs! Donna
I do not ordinarily like Kaffe fabrics, they seem to mess with my very orderly mind. However, the way Donna uses his fabrics makes absolutely beautiful quilts, bold, beautiful but with order. Donna shows that her patterns are fabulous with any fabric. Another great tutorial!
I've been watching your videos and love them. You are inspiring and teaching some good info and taking away some of the fears some have. Love 3 yards...easy peasy. No precuts, just 3 simple yards. It's a great thing.
I am so excited the Kaffe Fassett fabrics have made their way to you, Donna. I have been saving my "spendables" so I was able to buy 5 of the kits you are showing in this video. I got Bold Blocks (2:33), two of Easy Street (30:00), Town Square (38:20), and Button Box (43:43). Whooohoooo! I also added one other beautiful kit from fabriccafe.com and will be receiving 2 FREE books - Fast & Fun and your new Quilts in a Jiffy. I already have your book Easy Peasy so I have every pattern I need to make these amazingly gorgeous quilts. I am thrilled - last month I bought your most exquisite Captivating kit to make for my sister and Fast & Fun 3-Yard Quilts' has a pattern that will be incredible with Captivating. You had suggested Byzantine Door and I agree that it would be gorgeous, however, the first quilt in Fast & Fun is screaming to be "Captivated"! Thank you for everything.
@@FabricCafe you gave me a good laugh. I don't have any made yet! Donna, thanks for your reply but I never expect one. I know you are busy and have so many followers!
So glad that your sound quality has improved. I love your books and made your pink dragon fly quilt and have been using your books to reduce my stash. Every gift is properly loved.
Hi Donna, I remember my first experiences picking out fabrics for a quilt, it was overwhelming! Once we started publishing 3-yard quilts I found that many could identify with that. Glad you are enjoying the process now! Donna
Hello, Donna! I usually gravitate more towards muted colors, so I never usually give much thought to Kaffe fabrics, but you have changed my mind! I LOVE the way you coordinate fabrics and you did an incredible job with these fabrics! I’m constantly amazed at how a change in fabric can give the same pattern a totally different look. I can’t wait for your new book! Thank you so much for everything!
Love these patterns. I bought a lot of downloads. My aim is to make a big ding in my stash. Luckily in Australia we have a metre instead of a yard so we have a little extra to play with.
Do you have a particular web that let's you select the cotton material you like. Telling all specks with lengthh cost etc. what of your 10 inch cake square
You would die if you had to buy quilting fabric in Australia - at least $28 per metre (not that much more than a yard)😱 You also often have to pay even more for fabrics like Kaffe’s. So many quilt shops have gone out of business in the 15yrs I have been quilting, as no one can afford to buy fabric, however much they love the craft. Buying from the US is no longer as attractive as it was (even though your fabric is so cheap) because of exorbitant postage costs. Then there is our terrible exchange rate - we need AUD$1.30 to buy USD$1!! Love your channel🥰🥰🥰
I'm so glad you enjoy our channel. It must be difficult dealing with prices like that! And yes, postage is continually climbing. Although, we can't do much about those prices, we do have downloadable patterns and books you can purchase at www.ETSY.com/shops/fabriccafe. that might help a little.
@@FabricCafe Thank you, I am definitely going to purchase some of your books (whatever the postage is!) as I love your concept and LOVE, LOVE the quilts. I was blown away with the Kaffe ones as well, it makes so much sense to use your patterns for those bold, large prints. I will check out your Etsy site as well 🥰
@@FabricCafe Hi Donna, Thank you for the heads-up about your Etsy Shop. For some reason the link didn’t work, but I found it anyway and have just ordered 5 of your books🤗
How much yardage do you need for a full size quilt? Your instructions don’t cover that size. Very informative videos by the way. I’m a first time quilter and have ordered four of your kits.
So glad you enjoyed the video! A full size bed can usually be made with 3 kits, or 9 yards. Because twin and Q/k are the two most popular sizes, I chose to only give those instructions. Donna
Hi Barbara, This presentation was made for the Free Spirit company using a fabric which is not available until Feb. 2021. The kit numbers are not available yet. we have ordered the fabric, and as soon as we have the kit numbers, we will share them. Donna
Donna I am new to your channel. Love your guilts and designs. I'm from Canada do you sell your books here. Really would love to try doing some from Easy Peasy. Book. Sylvia
Hey Sylvia! Welcome to our channel, so glad you found us! There are several shops in Canada that carry our books and patterns, you can use our map feature on our website to find one near you! I'll link it here - www.fabriccafe.com/articles.asp?ID=280 - We also ship to Canada as well if you do not find a shop close. Thanks for asking and hope you find an Easy Peasy book! 🧵
Hi Mary, Fussy cut is when you select the area you want to cut exactly like you want it to appear in a quilt block. With 3-yard quilts I waste as little fabric as possible. I do not plan for fussy cutting because there is more waste fabric when you use that method. Donna
Hi Cheryl, We do ship to Australia, but the postage is rather high. We also have some downloadable books and many downloadable patterns. Check it out here. www.fabriccafe.com/patterns-and-books-s/1817.htm
Love your quilts! (Videographer is a bit annoying as he/she often cuts off your face when you are talking, then does not quickly go to where you are pointing in the book or on the quilt itself.)
My mind pleasantly gets blown away watching you (pl)folks CREATE! Thank you for sharing! 👏👍🏻💕 49:23

I am a fairly new quilter so choosing 6 fabrics for a pattern was a little overwhelming for me but this is great!

Love all the fabric
Thanks! I loved working with them!

I would like to see a pattern where material 1, 2 and 3 in all 3 positions just to see the difference in the looks of each lap quilt.
The45 by 60 sounds good for patents in wheel chairs. Or nursenhomes
Iverycute assemble your quilt show very nice thank uvery much
Hi! From Massachusetts
Average price for fabric in this country is about $26 per metre. Twelve dollars sounds like Heaven.
I love the colours and designs of Kaffe Fassett fabrics but the only time I’ve used some the dyes bled like crazy.
Oh no, that's terrible! We've had good success with our prints, but others mileage may vary.
This one is much better.
Glad you could watch! Donna
I see numbers now for the kits😁
Tried for half hour without success to get on site last night. So watching this early AM
So glad you could watch!
Donna, you may be short but as my father would say "My feet reach the ground when I stand up."
I love it! Thanks for sharing! Donna

What's the difference of synthropol and retayne? When do you use which one???
The pioneers would use material from clothing or what ever to make there quilts.
Do I need to buy all 3 kits at the same time to get a free book or is it accumulative?
Hi Donna, the offer is for three purchased at the same time. Donna
Have you ever thought of a damano quilt or a bingo one

I have lots of half yard Kaffe cuts! Can I use your patterns and my half yard cuts?
These books are wonderful!!!! Do you sell these books as a set? I would like all of them.
Great idea, let me see what I can do! Donna
What do you do for backing?
We usually use three yards of regular 44/45 inch wide fabric. check out our free backing instructions at: www.fabriccafe.com/Free-Goodies-s/1916.htm

@@awright5978 Fun! Donna
Love your quilts! (Videographer is a bit annoying as he/she often cuts off your face when you are talking, then does not quickly go to where you are pointing in the book or on the quilt itself.)
Pretty sure the videographer is her son and he’s focusing on what she’s talking about such as the book or fabric being discussed.
What Donna is pointing to is out of the frame..
Not sure what I was pointing too. Donna
This quilt is a mess. One of these should be a solid to allow Kaffe's beautiful fabric to shine.
Thanks for commenting! Donna
to the person on the camera...please focus on where she is pointing!
Thanks Sharron!
