Charm Squares Quilt - Ocean Life

I love making baby quilts because it combines two of my favorites: babies and quilts!!! My sweet friend is expecting her first baby and she is decorating the nursery with a calm ocean theme. I knew my special Coral Queen of Sea fabric would be perfect!  Plus I was able to fussy cut mermaids and narwhals :). 

Coral Queen of the Sea is out of print and I only had a little bit left so I mixed in some Reef prints. The combination was perfect for Elizabeth Hartman's Charm Squares Quilt Pattern. I love the modern and classic look of this quilt! 

Charm Squares Quilt (Baby 33" x 40")

Supplies:

• (38) 5" squares - Coral Queen of the Sea by Stacy Iset Hsu and Reef by Elizabeth Hartman
• 5/8" yard sashing fabric - American Made Brand Pink
• 3/8" yard binding - Hello Darling Stripe by Bonnie & Camille
• 1 1/4 yard backing - Riley Blake Bake Sale Gingham by Lori Holt
• Charm Squares Quilt Pattern (free) by Elizabeth Hartman

I didn't have 5" squares so I used my AccuQuilt Qube Mix 9" Finished Block - (GO! Square 5" die) to cut my fabric squares, which made cutting super quick!

I've already gifted this Charm Squares Quilt to my friend and I can't wait to meet her cute baby soon!

Do you have a favorite baby quilt pattern that you love?????

Janey is HERE

Hi Quilty Friends! I wanted to share that Janey is NOW available in quilt shops - hooray! I love Tanya Whelan designs and am so excited she is now designing for Clothworks! I absolutely love the prints and colors of Janey - it's so my girlish style! Check out the Janey collection HERE at Fat Quarter Shop or at Amazon.

I wanted to share all the projects I made with the Janey strike-offs I received from Clothworks before the fabric collection was released. Don't worry - I now have the yard bundle so lots more projects will be coming!

Starlight Double -

I made this super sweet scrappy Starlight Double block when I was testing the pattern - I LOVE it!. I just need to turn it into a pillow - it will be so fabulous! I really love the American Brand Solid- PINK that I used for the background! PS - Did you know American Brand Solids are MADE and GROWN in the USA- so awesome!

Supplies:

• Starlight Double Quilt Pattern by Me - available here
• Janey Fabric by Tanya Whelan for Clothworks
• American Brand Solids - Pink 

Zipper Pouch-

I used the left over half-square triangles from my Starlight Double block to make this awesome zipper pouch!  Since I totally love this fabric collection and couldn't toss any scraps- I used my left over scraps to make it double sided. Yay! Practical and economical!

Supplies:

American Brand Solids - Pink and Light Raspberry

Pouch pattern - Sorry no pattern as I made it according to my left over scraps. One day I will have to make a pattern :) 

Patchwork Pillow -

Sewing patchwork is one of my favorites! I find it relaxing and I love how all the squares match up so nicely! For this sweet pillow- I cut (36) 3.5" squares from Janey and assorted solids from American Made Brand and I absolutely love it! Patchwork makes me so happy! 

I think we need a close up of the simple straight-line quilting and fabrics too :)

Weebraw Bag -

I absolutely love this Weebraw Bag - large size. PS-I know I have said I absolutely love each of these Janey projects, but it is SO TRUE! 

The Weebraw bag is prefect for holding yarn, hand piecing, cross-stitch, or any treasures!

I took A LOT of photos because I used different bits of fabrics all over the bag - yay for scrappy!

More about Woodland Wander Fabric by Clothworks

Woodland Wander is designed by Rebecca Jones for Clothworks. I love Rebecca's illustrations! The fabrics in Woodland Wander are adorable - full of  bunnies, squirrels, hedgehogs, frogs, fireflies, birds, and textured solid prints. 

I used American Made Brand Fabric solid white for my quilt background and LOVE it! Know what is super cool....American Made Brand Fabric is MADE in the USA. American Made Brand 100% cotton fabric is grown, spun, woven and dyed in America!!! So awesome!!! It is available in 75 colors and can be purchased at fabric shops including Fat Quarter Shop! I think I need to make an AMB solid quilt very soon!!!

I looooove the fabric I chose for the backing....it's seriously the cutest with all the animals! It would make the most adorable whole cloth quilt too!!! Since the fabric is directional - you will need 4 yards of fabric for this quilt if you want those cute animals standing upright on your quilt back ;). 

For the binding, I chose the sweet lilac and mint floral print -- it's gorgeous!!!

I just looooved sewing with Woodland Wander fabric - it just made me feel so happy. Since I wanted to keep sewing with the Woodland Wander fabric,  I already started my Layered Cake Quilt pattern with the coordinating panel...I can't wait to finish it and share! 

Don't forget- you can purchase your Chain of Stars Pattern here for $5.00.

I'm so excited to see your Chain of Stars Quilts!!! Be sure to tag me so I don't miss them!!! #ChainofStarsQuilt #ABitofScrapStuffPattern

Have a great day and happy sewing!
