Falling Charms

 Despite having the flu

(yes, the real flu)

And putting holiday decorations away,

And visiting with family and friends,

I finished two quilts that

had been waiting to be machine quilted.

Both of these

 

"Little Charmer"

"Falling Charms"

are a Missouri Star pattern,

Falling Charms Quilt.

It's a simple, fun pattern and

finishes fast.

I wanted to use up some more of

the line of fabric I had been storing for

about 18 years.

It's the Sandy Gervais line,

Pieces From My Heart,

that I had used last year for a

ABC sample,  Ewe and Me,

 offered by the Quilt Show.

It's on my list for 2015 to finish.

This one is a baby quilt for

 

 36" x 44"

my new great niece, Sophia.

I wasn't working with a charm pack

so

these squares were cut at 4 1/2"

and the strips cut at 2".

I didn't have anything left to
use in all

 4 borders so

each one is different.  

I love the look.

I quilted straight lines in the strips

 

  and 

diagonal connected flowers in the squares.

 I used a little stripe

 

for the binding.

The mini one

" Little Charmer"
22" x 22"

is for me.

This time the squares were cut 2 1/4"

and the strips 1 1/4".
 I quilted it the same as the other one.

After holding on to "that fabric" for so long

I needed something for me to keep.

And, yes, I still do have fabric left over.

I'm on the look out for something equally as simple

so maybe,
"that fabric" will make one more small quilt.

 Until Next Time-
