Let's add some 4 patch blocks to a quilt panel to create fun and easy borders. Using a panel might be called cheating, but the results are so cute that I don't mind if I have to break the rules. Sometimes you just need something quick and simple and this panel quilt is just the ticket. Hobby Lobby had some adorable fall panels and I am going to use one in this tutorial to show how easy it is to create a great quilt with some old school 4 patch blocks on the border.

Here is another quilt tutorial for a quick and easy 3 yard quilt. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VD1ftnqW9vE.html

Love watching all your videos, and happy knowing I can binge watch for quite a while before I run out of videos. I love this panel, and happen to have one!!! I've had it for about 2-3 yrs and just made it into a Fall quilt for my toddler grandson about 2 months ago. I wish I'd watched this video and others in which you use panels to make a larger quilt. I just used the panel, batting and a backing to make it a quilt the size of the panel and a 2 1/2 inch brown binding. I quilted it by hand. I embroidered around each figure with black or orange embroidery thread. Every flower, rake, pumpkin, bird, etc. I loved how puffy and soft it made it look. I have other panels that I will definitely use as centerpieces for larger quilts. Now I know that when my grandson outgrows this quilt I can make it bigger for him (if my dil let's me) she likes to save things. I guess if it lasts the test of time she can give it to a grandchild of hers in the future. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and great ideas.

@charlavaught2681 2 года назад

I love your idea of using 4-patch blocks to make your border. When you were first putting them on the design wall, I was feeling your pain about getting them distributed the way your wanted. But....after they were in the quilt and you got the entire effect, they looked great!

@aprilscraftroom 2 года назад

Hi Charla .. Thank you for your kind words Thanks for watching! April

@debbiebarnes-shankster6870 3 года назад

This came across my RU-vid at the right time because I am making several panels into lap and bed quilts. So the idea of a 4 patch or even a 9 patch border is brilliant!

Love this panel, and your four patch border is another great idea. I’ve made some juvenile quilts using panels, and bordered them in different ways. Bit I never tried your idea. Must try for the next one. During the pandemic, I’ve made three large, bed size quilts, mostly using my stash for the piecing, and buying yardage for the borders and backing. The last six months I’ve made nine baby and child sized quilt tops. I have to finish and quilt them. Not my favorite thing to do. I’ve made them very simple, letting the fabric stand out and they turned out really cute. It’s been so nice just to sew. I bought a lot of precuts so cutting is minimal. Sometimes Its nice to relax and just sew!

@aprilscraftroom 2 года назад

Yes .. the pandemic was only good for one thing .. I got alot of sewing done I am glad you are going to try this... it is easy and FUN thanks for watching April

New subscriber here and I really enjoyed your video. I have never made a quilt before but I bought a king size pillow sham with a bear scene on it and I thought I would try to make squares around it . Sounds a little crazy but I thought it would be like quilting around a panel. I’ll take the back panel off the sham so it will be a single layer . Oh well,wish me luck.

What a great idea!!! You go girl

I am making a memory quilt for a relative. She sent me a variety of clothes to work with. I have cottons and tee shirts. I made a pinwheel top out of the cottons but am struggling to figure out what to do with the shirts. I was thinking of turning them into a panel and bordering it for the back.

@aprilscraftroom 2 года назад

That sounds so great! April

Where or who fix up your machine with that table? That is awesome I would love to have my machine sitting in wood and with that green board.

@aprilscraftroom 3 года назад

That was a library table from my Dad’s hometown. My husband and father in law cut out the space for my sewing machine. While cleaning it up we found gum stuck under the table. I left a piece because it could have been from my Dad. It sounds like something he might have done while he was in school. LOL April

@sheilahawkins264 2 года назад

I am making a memory quilt for a family member. She sent me a variety of clothes to use. I took the cotton fabrics and made a pinwheel top but am struggling with ideas for the tee shirts. I’m thinking of turning them into a panel and doing a border around it. This will be the back of the quilt. Will this work?

@aprilscraftroom 2 года назад

Absolutely. Or you could use your pinwheels around the tshirt panel unless you’ve already made the pinwheel portion o the quilt. Having blocks of interest on both sides of the quilt would be great. Hope that helps. April

@sharonledbetter9617 Год назад

Here it is to yours after you've made this post add I found it today period I am trying to do a panel quilt and I understand about putting the first border on but what I don't understand is how you decided to use six and a half inch finished blocks and match them up on the sides in the top so you don't have to cut one or two down to fit the panel quilt. I hope this makes sense How do you figure out what size of blocks to use with your panel quilt? Thank you so much I enjoy your videos

@aprilscraftroom Год назад

To be honest Sharon... I just guesstimate and pray that it works ... LOL I try to figure how big I want the quilt ... then measure the panel pieces and then work in the block sizes...

@chrisc7566 2 года назад

What is the green panel on wall that quilt top sticks to made from?

@aprilscraftroom 2 года назад

I used big clips and attached small bungee cords to those and smaller clips to those bungee cords to hold the quilts. Hope that makes sense. Thank you for watching and commenting. April

Where did you get your extended table for your sewing machine?

@aprilscraftroom 3 года назад

That is a library table from the Amana Colonies in Iowa. My dad was from there and my Grandmother gave me that table. I asked my husband to cut out a place for my sewing machine. While he and his dad were doing that they took the heavy coat of varnish off the top to expose a beautiful wood. Probably more information than you wanted. LOL. Thanks for watching. April
