Fast Floating 4 Patch Quilt using 5" Charm Squares
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 09. 2024
- A 4 Patch Quilt is one of the staples of quilts. There are simple 4 patches, Disappearing 4 Patch Quilts and 4 patch quilts made with strips. I am going to share a floating 4 patch quilt where the 4 patches seemingly float like the Hallelujah Mountains of Pandora (an Avatar reference). This is one of the quilts I reference in my 5 tips for faster quilts video - a simple 4 patch block with 2 more strips added to give the illusion in your quilt that the 4 patch blocks are floating.
This quilt can be made using 5" charm squares and 2 1/2" strips or a combination of pre cuts and yardage you cut yourself. No rules - just fun! This quilt pattern is perfect for any occasion. So break out that rotary cutter and let's get to quilting.

White goes with everything. The yellow would add excitement!
love it
My, now 43 year old, son used to say yellow the same way!🥰 I too miss those days!
Aww
All of it matched well. Different tones of the same color just make things stand out!
I like the red best . It brings out the colors best
thanks for watching Sonya
Love how your kitty joined the video!
Oliver is a ham!
Frankenblock is my new go to word!!!😂😂
Love it
LOL... I love your videos! ❤
Why do things the easy way when we can complicate and overthink them? That is my motto!
Love it!!!
I like the yellow. More colorful.
Like the one with red, it lightens it up
RED! LOVE IT
I love the grey color for last border.
Today was the first time I have ever watche done of your videos April. I enjoyed all of it Sooo much! You crack me up and I felt like we were just old, long time friends. Like kindred spirits I guess. I do love your style because I often "squirrel" as my husband says when I am working on projects. Anyway, my choice for the other colors - woodgrains as you refered to them was the brown or black toned fabric. Thank you for sharing your talents! Please continue to Sprinkle your Sparkles as you shine your light for others to see 😄
thank you so much for watching my channel!
Hmmm. April, Oliver, Agnes, quilting, chocolate and kindness…life is good. 😊
Don’t you just love the assistance of cats! Mine usually try to sleep on my fabric, lol. I absolutely love your videos, you are such fun!😅
thank you so much!!!
I like the red
me too!
Love your sense of humor!!

❤️
I like the hombree. brown. Very nice quilt. Thanks
Thank you!
The yellow makes the 5 inch prints POP better.
I do love yellow!
I like the black one.
me too!
Love the yellow
I do love yellow!
April I have the same desk set up that you have. Mine is in teak and I love it!! I have the kangroo and your chair matches mine to a "T"! That proves that like minds think alike and it means that you and I have GREAT taste!! And yes, I would have picked the yellow also, oh excuse me "lello"! I will be making this quilt and I may use it with a panel that has small squares - or 9:1/2 " so that it will all fit together. You are one smark cookie. Thanks for the video and I really enjoy watching your videos.
Jan .. I LOVE that sewing furnture and chair ... probably one of my best purchases!
Thank you for watching my channel!
I agree with you. It is the best purchase that I have made in a very long time!!!
I love the red!
I like the black!
❤️
Love your videos. ❤❤❤❤FYI, I am also an IS&T professional since 45+ years.
That is awesome! Are you a mainframer, too.
April
Started on IBM mainframes, then midranges(AS400 & RISC6000) and for the last 23 years we switched to Windows servers for SAP.
@@lisemonatalbot so you went to the dark side. LOL. 😂
LOL, Not voluntarily(sp?). I've worked actively (and post retirement as a consultant) for the same company (Iron Ore Company of Canada) since 1977. It's DP/IT/IS&T department was an IBM shop (literally an R&D mecca for IBM Canada since early 1960`s) until our company (IOC) was bought out by RioTinto. What a IT culture shock that was!!! That's when SAP on Windows servers came in.
One thing I know, is that mainframe coding skills are still needed; cuz SAP is based on ABAP which is an improved version of COBAL. I've worn so many hats over the years, it's unbelievable - from simple coder to enterprise information architech and back to simply mentoring (the latter is what I like best now).
... On another note, I've sewed forever, but discovered quilting in 2019 and have been on a quilting binge since then. So relaxing and keeps me zen between and during IS&T mandates.
April, continue with you great and entertaining viddeos. I love them.
@@lisemonatalbot I quilt for the relaxation too. 😀
Hi there, I like the first wood grain better. Your quilts are always so beautiful. We need more instructors like you. You make it look so easy. I'm 78, (almost 79, will be in July) and the easier it is for me, much better. Love you. Keep up the wonderful work. God bless. Love your fur babies.
Yellow is perfect
Thank you
Yellow and number 1
❤️
Kudos on the reorganization of your sewing room. I like the red. 🎶💐💖

I like the grey wood grain. It looks like aged barn wood to me and it would go with your farm theme, in my option. Have a great day

I love the yellow color choice for your sashing and inner border. I would choose #2 for the outer border. Love my reds. ❤
I love the reds too!
Thanks about the tip about “not having caffeine” the day before a mammogram. I have to go back for supplementary clips, so will keep that in mind.
Glad it was helpful! I had no idea. I have clips too. Good luck - I hope all turns out well.
April
Looks great April
thanks !!!
I love it!
I like the number 4 fabric for the border.
love it
I like the first wood pattern.
Thank you ---me too
I’m glad I’m not the only one who, once I “reorganize”, you can bet I won’t be able to find anything. At least you only “lost” a charm pack…and found it! 🤣
I love that your babies~and you!~are so chill while you’re working! I’m a tad high strung and am always afraid they’ll get hurt on something! Agnes is sure a doll baby.
You and me both!
Thanks for watching!!!
I once ‘lost’ my favorite binding tool. So I bought a new one. Found the old one weeks later, now I have 2. Or maybe 3, not sure.
It turned out perfect with the Yellow and it looks great just like it is.😊
Maxine and Agnes are so sweet. 🤗
Thank you
Liked a lot of them, but the grey was my favorite. Do what YOU like best though. 😊
I’m not totally sure yet
April good morning, I absolutely love this quilt top. I’m with you I love simple 😊. I really like the #1 fabric for the border. Thank you for sharing your fur babies, they really do make our lives complete. ❤

I like the grey and the red. The red reminds me of a barn. I would use the red. 😊

I just love your helpers. They're so well behaved. Mine are holy terrors. Love your videos, also.
lol
Another fun quilt. Your on screen self is a joy to watch. Thank you.
thank you so much!
The yellow was definitely the right choice! And as a word nerd, I would call “frankenpiecing” a portmanteau. Love your videos!
Well that is a very cool word. I had to look it up! Now I need to use it so I don’t forget it. 😀❤️
#5 it compliments the designs in the block and it doesn’t fight with the yellow. Great video😊🎉 Going to eat some chocolate now🍫

❤️. Thank you
Hmm... I like both the Black and Grey. The Black sets it off but the Grey goes really well. Hi to all the fur babies.❤😊
LOL. I like them both too... thanks for the comment
I like # 1. I think it really helps to make some of the animals really POP. Anything you choose - it's beautiful. Good Job.
wow! Thank you so much!
Yellow was my choice too. For the outer border I like the black (3). The brown of #4 is the right shade of brown. By that’s me. Whatever you choose will look fabulous.
aww .. thank you
Lol ❤😂❤😂❤😂❤ thank you. I laughed so hard when you said I think I've done enough damage for the day 😅😂😂❤❤ I am quilter too. It's my passion, but some things I don't want to do and I've made some crazy quilt, half way through im done with, that I spent tons of money on material so my mom tries to rescue them from getting tossed. They sit in her sewing room 😂😂😂😂 . I like that you finish it up. I want to see it with the borders ❤❤❤❤❤
Yellow! Love this charm pack
I love it too
Room is a lot better. Love it

I like the lighter wood grain. Love it. ❤️

Fun quilt! I tend to go rogue, too. It may be more complicated, but it's a ton more fun😊. I vote the black wood grain. Hugs to your little babies!
I do love wood grain!!!
thanks for watching!!!
