Positively Charming

Positively Charming sewing pattern from #corianderquilts #coreyyoder  51 inch x 59.5 inch.

1 day to cut the fabric, pieced a weekend and few evenings, 2 days to quilt and bind. This quilt is cost effective as you can use 1 charm pack or 1/4 layer cake as I did. Mint green is a different change to white backgrounds and I was able to use blue for the backing without worrying about colour run too much (use colour catchers, cool temperature, take out of the washing machine straight away).

Quilting: approx 2 by 4 inch straight-line grid in aqua Glide thread.

Moda layer cake by Sherri and Chelsi 'The Front Porch'. Background and backing #benartexfabrics

Should have used a lower tension with this high loft 2oz wadding, only noticed the tension in the sunlight photos! I will redo part of the binding that waved a little, again noticed in photos.

Checkerboard Baby

Checkerboard baby quilt no pattern (just 9 patch). Fallon sleeps on this every night. A few days to piece, then just 1 day to quilt and bind! 1 Moda later cake, Sweetwater "wishes", which I think is from 2014, had that on the squares I left off. Turquoise polka on white yardage Makower. Binding yellow thatched Timeless Treasures. Backing pink lambs Benartex. Quilted straight-line every two squares and then criss cross through those boxes. I cut the layer cake squares into 3 strips and strip pieced, I cut them 3 1/4 inches and I needed to cut the white with blue polkadot to centre the red. I like the way it created despite making one block (or two blocks with the colour variation). I think it is 45.5 by 53 inches.
