I've finished up the first of my projects for the second quarter of The Littlest Thistle's 2014 Finish Along. Go, me!
Here it is, my Charm Pack Cherry Quilt.
I had the top pieced and was able to get it quilted up and bound. I used a larger-scale pantograph that had soft geometric curves. I think it worked well with these Moda fabrics, A Stitch in Color by Malka Dubrasky.
I really debated about whether or not to keep this one. I really, really like it. Something about the brightness reminds me of summer, and heaven knows we don't have enough summer where I live.
But in the end, I think I will list it in my Etsy shop, Mountain Quiltworks. I do like the backing fabric, which I also used to bind it.
I've already got another Charm Pack
Cherry quilt cut out and ready to piece. This time I'm using Moda's
Barcelona charm packs and I splurged and bought precut black Kona charms
so the project is clipping right along. It's like night and day with the background fabrics. It will be interesting to compare and see which one I like best.
What did you work on this weekend?
Remember to quilt with a smile,
Barb

DeleteYes, GO YOU! I can feel the sun shining when looking at your fun bright colors. I also agree with your soft curves and fun binding. We were 75 today--summer is coming!!!!
ReplyDeleteI worked on my breast cancer quilt for a fundraiser at my church. It is turning out pretty. I wish you were near me so that you could quilt it. Is there a pattern for charm pack cherry?
ReplyDeleteWell your quilt top was the inspiration for me to make one of these quilts and I love how you have quilted it :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out really pretty. Good job! I am working on those little fabric baskets we talked about. :)
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I was not fond of this pattern to begin with, but it's beginning to grow on me as I see how others have sewn it up. I really like yours and can't wait to see how your next one will turn out with the black background.
ReplyDeletevery fun. love the look. I have see the video but haven't decided what fabrics to use.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. I really like Malka Dubrasky fabric but never know just what to do with it. I really like what you did. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt is adorable and I can see why you would want to keep it!! Thanks for sharing.
