Best Quilt Model





Even though it is hot and humid outside, Bob agreed to be my quilt model, today.  This little quilt measures 43 x 48 inches and is made entirely of leftover charm squares.  The quilt back is made of leftover four patches and scrap whites.  Love using leftovers.

It's listed in my etsy shop, here.

May your bobbins always be full,

Scrappy Charms Hugs and Kisses


When I sorted my drawer of scraps I found lots of charms squares left over from various projects.  To those leftovers I added a pack of charms with dots that I got from a Polka Dot Charm Swap, a while ago.  I ended  up with 115 charms.  I used 110 of them to make this quilt top.  None of the fabric is a solid, but a couple read like they are.

While I was cutting the 2.5" squares for the corners, also from scraps, I was really wishing I had a "quilters intern".  Wouldn't it be great to have an intern to cut 220 2.5" squares and draw the diagonal line needed for this pattern?



Since no intern materialized, I settled for drawing my lines 4 or 5 at a time, to save some time.  Now I need to figure out the quilt back.  The quilt top measures 44" x 49".
May your bobbins always be full,
