Mini Charm Chocolates Quilt with Fat Quarter Shop


I'm so excited to share my Mini Charm Chocolates Quilt with The Good Life Fabric by Bonnie & Camille! I love this quilt so much! It is perfect for mini charm packs or jelly rolls or layer cakes or charm packs! Fat Quarter Shop is sharing the Mini Charm Chocolates pattern for free with multiple sizes: table runner, crib, lap, and queen.

I chose to use Bonnie & Camille's The Good Life fabric with Moda Crossweave. I love this fabric sooooooo much! This was my first time sewing with Crossweave and it is fabulous! It adds such wonderful texture!




Ready to gather up your 2.5" squares and start your Mini Charm Chocolates Quilt! Be warned...once your start sewing your quilt...you will want to make your quilt bigger. I started with the lap size and then super sized it with extra mini charm packs.  My quilt measures about 70" x 78".

Bella Skill Builder with Fat Quarter Shop - Quilt Top Time


Happy November 1st! I can't believe we have reached the end of the Bella Skill Builder Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop! This month we are assembling our blocks into the completed quilt top....which I love!

It is so fun to see how the blocks come together to form the quilt top! I also love that you don't notice my missing points or that I flipped two of the blocks...it just personalizes my quilt ;) 

Ready to assemble your quilt top.

Rhinestone Tablerunner with Fat Quarter Shop


I'm super excited to share my Rhinestone Tablerunner with Fat Quarter Shop for the Tablerunner Bliss Quilt Along! I used Gingiber's new Savannah Collection with Moda Fabrics. I love the cute safari animals with the matching black, gray, and cream prints!




I chose the Rhinestone Tablerunner from the Tablerunner Bliss book by Sheri Falls because I loved the large open center in the block, which was perfect to appliqué a safari animal to the center of each block. I used Heat N-Bond Lite to adhere the animals to the block centers and stitched around the edge (optional).

Spelling Bee Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop


It's Spelling Bee Saturday with Fat Quarter Shop and Lori Holt! I'm excited to be starting off the Quilt Along with letter A.  The block was super easy to piece as Lori's patterns are always clear and well written. My A block finishes at 8.5" x 12.5" (there is a smaller size too at 4.5" x 6.5").  The Spelling Bee Book has 26 letters (upper and lower case) in 2 sizes, plus punctuation, numbers, picture blocks, quilts, and mini quilts...it is amazing...more in a bit!

Let's get ready to start off with A



Supplies:

I decided to add borders to my A block to make it a 16" square so I could make it a mini quilt and/or pillow! I couldn't decide if my daughter would like a pillow for her bed or to hang on her wall as a mini quilt! A zippered backing....will let her choose and change her mind ;)
