Charming: Phesant Hill from Becca's Crazy Projects

This is my second post about one of my charm pack quilts. Check out the first post from last week to see the cutting tools.
When I say I didn't plan this layout you will just have to believe me. I just grabbed contrasting colors and stitched them into pairs. Then stitched the pairs into sets of four, and so one until I had a row of 16 tumblers. Then I added one more to the end for a total of 17 per row.
I tried to get them to line up so there weren't too many of ...

Charity Quilting from Becca's Crazy Projects

I pieced and quilted this simple quilt. This is the Alternate Square pattern from Quilts for Kids. I love that this pattern works up quickly and works with a handful of different fabrics, or 30 different fabrics. It finishes at 38" by 44" so it fits onto a 1.5 yard cut of backing fabric with no piecing! It will be heading to Annapolis Quilts for Kids for binding in April

30's Playtime from Becca's Crazy Projects

There was a time when I would pick up 30's reproduction prints. At some point, a quilting friend gave me some she had. So far, I've made at least three quilts using this fabric. Let this be a lesson about over-buying fabrics.  
I cut the charm packs into half-square triangle units using the Accuquilt Go. You have to be careful when cutting 5" charms because there isn't much room for mistakes. 
I made a bunch of 4-patch in 4-patch blocks.
In the end, I had enough blocks to make a fun, scrappy quilt. Now it just needs ...

Charming: Pheasant Hill from Becca's Crazy Projects

Continuing my series of quilts made with charm packs, I bring you Pheasant Hill. I have six charm backs and two one-yard cuts of coordinating fabric. This time we're going with tumblers cut using the Missouri Star template. 
I also used my rotating 14" by 14" cutting mat. This is great if you don't want to have to reposition the template when cutting. You just rotate the mat. Easy! You can also get a smaller 8" by 8" cutting mat.
This tumbler lets you quickly cut your charm packs into the right shape.
Neatly cut and stacked!
I ...

Fabric Diet Fail from Becca's Crazy Projects

This year I didn't make it very far without buying fabric. I tell myself every year that I won't buy fabric I don't need. Then, I go in search of backing fabric and come home with more than backing fabric. This time, it was a trip to Spring Water Designs. The four, 1-yard cuts in the foreground were fabrics on the discount shelf. I have no plan for these fabrics but they were just too good to leave behind. I also grabbed a cone of Omni for the long arm. Omni is a great thread and one ...

I made this fun, scrappy bricks quilt. I love how each of these is the same and so very different. These are 9.5" by 9.5" blocks made using 2" by 3.5" bricks. That's the smallest scrap I want to deal with. 
Simple blocks for the win. I Took inspiration from the border fabrics to choose the squares. Such a fun finish. 

Both quilts will be headed to Annapolis Quilts for Kids.
