    This is so helpful to me. I resently acquired two animal prints. I am using your method to make block's out of them. I have a rotary cutting mat, and away I go. I want to make a medium size couch quilt, with matching pillows. I might add silver, gold, black, brown, gray, & white for some framing, & border's. Wouldn't it be cute with some applique paw prints too. Thank you my dear, dear April for giving me an idea for my fabrics, that I already have. I love Peppermint Patty's too.

  • @5kidsmyhusbandandme
    @5kidsmyhusbandandme Před rokem +2

    Love the gray & black you out around them. They kind of calm it down. I think I would use more gray around it then the black then do a scrappy animal print binding. Or do the black then the gray then the scrappy binding. I would audition those if it were me. 😀

  • @peterivkovich2314
    @peterivkovich2314 Před rokem +2

    from Gerry- I love what you came up with. I would go for any kind of sashing when you can't match blocks. You could have eliminated the sashing on your plan blocks and it would have looked nice. I always enjoy watching you work it out. Blessings.

    You can always pull colors from the different animal prints, like the greys and blacks and the different oranges and use those to frame the crazy blocks. Using the same kind of colors that you would find in the place where those animals live would also work.
    Thank you for all your hard work!

    @kathyterrell1547 Před rokem +2

    I liked the gray and black for the borders of each block, but the cut blocks were to jumbled for my little brain. Maybe a small black strip to put between each print. That would be too detailed for me, however. Just thought my brain would like the "resting " spot between all the prints. Thanks for trying new things, and sharing them with us!

    Did you think about adding some thin black strips between your patches to make your Crazy Blocks bigger (stain glass style) as you sewed them together? Wine or dark red looks wonderful with animal prints also. Your quilt is going to be beautiful. I love what you have done.

    • @aprilscraftroom

    I'm a fan of big quilts, so I would need a border around the quilt. Do you have a jungle print in your stash you could use?

      When was Donna's video? Would like to see that one because since I love April's I would like to compare.

      @@judycurtis44 The one I was thinking about was called Layer Sticks or something like that, published about a year ago. It's a little different from April's, but she has others where she's sliced multiple fabrics and combined them to make up the block in the same way too. Lots of free patterns on the Jordan Fabrics website. Although a pattern isn't really necessary for this block/quilt.
