Elementary

"Elementary"

Pattern:  Sorbet Mini Quilt by Katie Clark Blakesley from the book Vintage Quilt Revival

Size:  18.375" x 18.375" (I made it smaller than the pattern because of how many charm squares I had to work with & then I lost a little more with my quilting)

The fabrics on the front and binding are all Elementary by Sweetwater for Moda.

The backing is a Robert Kaufman Fusions from my stash from 2008.

The Elementary line contains letters, numbers, dots & shapes - I just love it!!!

I meandered in the lighter (background) blocks and stitched in the ditch in the other blocks, allowing them to "pop".

Happy Quilting!

The Boo Crew (Charming Chevrons)

The Boo Crew

Pattern:  Charming Chevrons, Tiny 97 by Pieced Tree Patterns

Size:  34.5" x 42"

Charm Pack:  The Boo Crew by Sweetwater for Moda

Background & Binding:  Quilter's Linen, Screen Print D#9864 Robert Kaufman

Here are some of my favourite prints from the charm pack!

On the back I used a dark grey flannelette with white polka dots.  The binding is the same as the background.

I quilted straight lines following the chevrons in white thread and just straight in the borders, approximately 0.5" apart.

Just one more angle shot:

The front of the quilt used 40 charm squares so I used the other two (a white on white print and a duplicate of a black and white print) to make my label.  Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of it prior to taking it up to Serge & Sew as a sample - so you'll have to pop into the shop to see it in person :). I love using up the whole package of charms!!!

Happy Quilting!

Love Letters Quilt

Love Letters Quilt by Sweetwater from the book Sew Red, Sewing & Quilting for Women's Heart Health

Size:  35.5" x 35.5"

The main fabric used for the border and binding is Holiday Banners by The RBD Designers for Riley Blake Designs.  I had planned on just making a couple of heart blocks but I had a lot of reds & pinks in my scrap bin so before I knew it, I had enough for the whole quilt & I had to go & get more of the heart fabric for the border & binding :)

Backing:  I used a sweet white flannel print with grey hearts.

Happy Quilting!
