Four Inch Charms On Point Quilt

Bought 2 50 packs of Dollar Charms online from overseas.  One was "red" one was "blue."  I used my own neutral tans fr the edges.  They are smaller than American charms, about 4 inches instead of 5.  I love the Missouri Star method of setting squares on point, so quick and easy! 


These fabrics remind me of the fabrics I bought in my high teens and early 20's, so 1960's and 1970's.  Just a fun, easy project.

Snail's Trail Quilt in Solids

From a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilts, this one was real easy to make.  I have made the design before, but over at Missouri Star, they have great new techniques that really make the pattern building easy and fun!


The pattern was made with charms, the background a bright Kona white.  I decided to add a sashing to make it stand out more.

Nice, lap sized quilt!

Sold to Debbie H for her sisters grand baby

Garlic Knots Quilt

Made completely from leftover reds, blacks and neutral backgrounds that were purchased scraps from a square-dancing manufacturer: 10 pounds of scraps for $1.  Yep.  And these are the LEFTOVERS!

I was pretty interested in the pattern, and decided I wanted to try it.  The scraps were just the right size, since the block is based on short 2" strips.

It was a lot of fun, and I am already planning another one!
