Welcome to the second day of the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book hop! I am so excited to be kicking off the book hop for my new book Just Two Charm Pack Quilts!
Today's post is going to be highlighting the Lovers Lane pattern and Morning Flower Patch. Selwyn K. of Colorado Quilt Engineer made a version of both patterns! Hint Hint, she is hosting a giveaway for a digital copy of the book so be sure to visit her, links below :)
You can find all links for the blog hop and more on the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts page.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Each pattern in the book uses two charm packs, an additional fabric (called fabric A in the pattern) and a background fabric). The book is the Hamburger Helper for charm packs, stretching two charm packs each into large throw sized quilts. The book also teaches how to combine two different charm packs, expand one charm pack into two, and how to create your own charm packs from your stash.SPECIAL BOOK HOP DEAL
In my shop, you can purchase signed physical copies of the book and a digital version of the book.You can also find the book at your local quilt shop, Amazon, Connecting Threads, the Fat Quarter Shop, C&T Publications, and more. (affiliate links)
LOVERS LANE
The third quilt in the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book is the Lovers Lane pattern. I sewed this quilt top and the Bear Creek Quilting Company quilted it. From my previous book, Just One Charm Pack Quilts, I had one charm of Clementine by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society. (You can see the Circus Stars quilt using Clementine).
Because I only had a single charm pack, I used my stash to expand the charm pack into two. The beginning of the book has a section on making your own charm pack (or expanding on a single pack) from a color or fabric inspiration.
The alternate version of Lovers Lane was pieced by Sandra H. and quilted by Johellen George. This second version used Karen Lewis's Handstitched collection for Figo Fabrics. Because most of the prints in this collection were lighter in value, I paired them with a medium gray background fabric and a navy fabric A.

MORNING FLOWER PATCH
The fourth quilt in the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book is Morning Flower Patch. This quilt design is a fun combination of two alternating blocks: a classic nine-patch block and a plus sign block. The design reminded me of a garden trellis so that is how the quilt earned its name.
The prints in this quilt are 2 ½" square so this quilt is perfect for not only charm packs, but mini charm packs, leftover bits of jelly rolls, and smaller scraps work great too.
The main version of Morning Flower Patch was pieced by Dana B. and myself and was quilted by the Bear Creek Quilting Company. The dark gray (Confetti Cotton in Charcoal by Riley Blake) makes the Enchanted Meadow prints by Beverly McCullough for Riley Blake and the white fabric pop :)
The alternate version of Morning Flower Patch has the reverse coloration compared to the main version, with a charcoal fabric A and a white background. Instead of a charm pack, I used a variety of Kona Cotton solid scraps in a bunch of bright, fun colors. I pieced the quilt top and Johellen George used the perfect flower design for the quilting.

It is so great to see this colorful feast. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have an autographed copy of your beautiful book. I've completed piecing the "Growing Vines" pattern, just waiting for my long-armer friend to finish topstitching, then donating to our local Project Linus group.
ReplyDeleteTrying to decide which of your other patterns to start next!
Morning Flower Patch is one of my favorites; I like how it references back to your first book a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the Hop so far and although I can't see full photos as I don't have IG, I do like both variations by Selwyn from what I can see. Thanks, take care & hugs.
