There are also 3 different giveaways for a digital copy of the book, you can enter all three!

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.

SNAPDRAGON COVE

The 13th quilt in the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book is the Snapdragon Cove pattern.  This is one of my favorite patterns in the book with a fun diamond design and lots of half-square triangles.  I pieced and quilted the main version of Snapdragon Cove and used the Indigo Garden collection by Heather Peterson for Riley Blake along with Confetti Cotton Solids in White and Cape Verde.  The Cape Verde is just the most perfect dark teal with a little green mixed in.

The alternate version of Snapdragon Cove was also pieced and quilted by me.  This version used the Strawberry & Friends collection by Ruby Star Society with white and gray solids.  I love how bright and scrappy the Strawberry & Friends collection is.  For the quilting, I used the grid of the quilt blocks and added a cursive "ele" in each block.

Michelle of From Bolt to Beauty created a version of Snapdragon Cove for the hop.  Here is just a sneak peek, hop over to her blog or Instagram to see the finished quilt.  I am so excited to see the finished quilt, this sneak peek looks fantastic and I love the gray/blue background!

Susan from Granny Smith Quilting also made a version of Snapdragon Cove. Here is her quilt in-progress and I will link to the quilt top when it is finished.

Tish of Tish N Wonderland also made a version of Snapdragon Cove.  This is in addition to the two versions of Star Rays she made and Abby & Katie (being shown on Friday).  It looks like Tish is using an almost solid of a dark green, teal color, hop over to Tish's blog to see the finish!  

STRING LIGHTS

The 14th quilt in the Just Two Charm Pack Quilts book is String Lights.  As soon as I designed the quilt using EQ8, my son said that it looked like a string of lights (like his sister has hanging in her room) and that is how the quilt earned its name. 

The main version of the quilt was pieced by me and quilted by the Bear Creek Quilting Company.  I used the Sincerely Yours by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda along with a yellow fabric A and a black background.  I love how the reds, pinks, and purples pop against the black background.

The alternate version of String Lights was pieced and quilted by Delia of Willowlark and combined the Peppermint collection by Dana Willard for Figo Fabrics along with pink and white solids. This fun collection of red, aqua, pink and black is not your typical Christmas/holiday collection and I love the different colors together.  Delia (Website, IG) quilted the quilt using an all over design inspired by the leaf design in one of the prints.

Sarah of Sarah Goer Quilts created a version of String Lights for the hop. Here is just a sneak peek, hop over to her website or Instagram or Facebook to see the finished quilt. The pickle background color is fantastic against the rainbow prints.  Sarah decided to leave off the fabric A "jewel" at the bottom of each column and I love the different look.  Hop over to Sarah's website or Instagram or Facebook to see the finish!

Kathy of Life in Pieces also created a version of String Lights for the hop. Here is just a sneak peek, hop over to her blog to see the finished quilt. Kathy went with darker blues as the charm squares against a white background which looks fantastic!
