One of the most popular features of my previous book, Just One Charm Pack Quilts, was how each pattern was shown in two different colorways. I think that seeing a quilt pattern with different colors and prints makes it so much easier to imagine and plan out your own quilt using that pattern.
Because quilters found it so helpful, I had make each quilt in the book twice in different colorways (I had the help of 16 quilters making the second version of each pattern).
I'd love to do a mini little trunk show showing off some of the patterns from the book. You can also watch the video about the quilts:

MORE FISHIES
The Just One Charm Pack Quilts book had a pattern in it called Fishies. It was one of the most popular (and one of my favorites) so I had to come up with a new fish design, this one called More Fishies.
The two colorways show off light blue and navy backgrounds along with different prints.
BETTY
The blocks in this quilt reminded me of granny squares so I named this quilt after my Grandmother Betty. I love how the blocks on the version on the left each look a little different depending on where the prints are placed in the block. The version on the right uses the same colors in the same areas within the block for a scrappy, but more cohesive look.
DIAMOND HASHTAG
Diamond Hashtag was made using a beautiful green as a background and a cream as a background. The fabric A that forms the hashtag pops more against the background and prints in the version on the left and blends in more with the prints in the quilt on the right.
ABBY & KATIE
This quilt was named after two of my pets that are no longer with us, my cat Abby and my yellow lab Katie. Because this quilt uses two different blocks I decided I would name it after both of them together. The cream colored background version on the left with much more subtle than the more bold version on the right.
