I immediatly knew I could make it using 1 charm pack to complete (4) 20" squares.
The name of the charm pack is Celestial Magic. The background is a sale light gray blue I bought a bolt of. There were 8 leftover charms, so I made them into 32 HST and fiddled around until I happened upon the flying geese configuration. My left over was EXACTLY 2 HSTs.
Up for sale on ETSY.
My earliest NICU team consisted of Sprout, Suzanne and myself. We made a well balanced team, leaning g on each other for support and skills.
Suzanne has always loved Halloween, and throws the greatest biggest parties every year. Of course I needed her retirement quilt to be a Halloween theme!
I will deliver it to the hospital tomorrow and all her friends will write their inscriptions.

I had never made a T Shirt Quilt! The unknown skills of sewing on stretchy fabric is one reason, but tutorials say to use light weight iron on interfacing... so that problem is solvable. But will it quilt okay? Hmmmmm
Then there is the problem that they just don't appeal to me! Big, dull 12" T Shirt blocks matching in a grid? No thanks!

A young friend of mine is getting married! Her Colors are peach and white.. I decided green would look good with those colors and this is the quilt I made her for a wedding gift. I cut around 55" blocks from the background fabric the background fabric and snowballed opposing corners with a collection of leftover charms cut into quarters by the fabric designer Kaffe Fassett, who always designs bold colors and patterns.
Bordered then with a bold green and a playful spring colors it is ready to inscribe and gift.

Congratulations Asia!
This 47 by 57" lap quilt started with a collection of 6 matching fabrics in blue with with gold accents. I picked up all 6 as a collection at a garage sale in my neighborhood a few weeks ago for $1. I then added pieces from my collection in either shades of blue or shades of yellow. Some blocks twirl right, some twirl left, so I bordered each block on 2 sides to let them stand out from one another. I searched for my border until I located a gorgeous blues with yellow stripe!

These little quilts come together easily. I keep a box of 5" squares on "dog" fabric. Just buy a quarter whenever I see something new, cut it into charms, then build a quilt and back it with flannel.
Then to ETSY for around $50. Pretty predictable sellers.
Isn't this exciting? Made with random tilted cuts on the charms filled with 1" strips of black r gray. Found the perfect fabric for the border on sale at JoAnns.

This quilt went together pretty quickly with a set of 5 coordinated fat quarters purchased a JoAnns with a 50% off coupon. I set them on a simple unbleached muslin. Each block had flying geese units that I sewed and used the "waste" to make tiny HST's. Those HST's became 3" broken dishes for lengthing the quilt. I used all but about 10" of the final leftover 1.5" strip to widen it!
