I had purchased two charm packs of Into the Woods by Lella Boutique and decided to play with them before they got buried in my stash for goodness knows how long.
I played around with some layouts on my design wall and came up with a design I liked and started cutting and stitching. Here is a baby sized quilt top I made with the charm packs.
I am thinking some looping quilting is in order for this quilt.
I have not linked up with any fun linky parties recently so I am very happy to link up with Sew Cute Tuesday @ Blossom Heart Quilts, Fabric Tuesday @ Quilt Story, Let's Bee Social @ Sew Fresh Quilts, Needle and Thread Thursday @ My Quilt Infatuation, and WIP Wednesday @ Freshly Pieced.
Looks great, Cheryl! I like how the white horizontal lines break up the pattern and make it seem like you are looking through a fence or down through slats at the pattern below.
ReplyDeleteVery cute baby blanket. I also like the horizontal lines.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute design! Isn't it nice to do some "mindless" piecing for a change. I think we sometimes get into such a crunch, even self induced that quilting isn't always the fun, fun, fun it's supposed to be. I'm such a perfectionist that sometimes I get so tense that I realize I need to take a break to relax and then go back to have fun. I can made a major ordeal out of something fun. I entered my first entry into a quilt show. I just had the quilter do a pantograph because when I did the quilt I never had a thought of entering the quilt. However, it was nice to hear the judges nice remarks about my other choices - my nice seams, etc. So, I was pleased that I my work was recognized. My husband (now deceased) would have been thrilled. He loved to see me ply my craft.
ReplyDeleteFine use of a charm pack (or two)! I'm always stumped on what to make with charm packs... not enough for a big quilt, so many small quilts in the stash already! :)
ReplyDeleteFun use of a couple of charm packs, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fresh take on coin quilts. Love the minty green.
ReplyDeletePretty quilt for a baby, and will be suitable for both a boy and a girl. I like the play of lines along the blocks.
ReplyDeleteRed and aqua always lovely together - I like the brown included in your baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely top, Cheryl. Looking forward to seeing your secret projects!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this layout for the charms! I keep eyeing off this fabric but haven't bought any yet.
