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.

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!

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!

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!

Quilts for Twins!
A new family has been created and this joy calls for the creation of twin quilts! Two little boys, born to a very athletic family that enjoys all sorts of outdoor activities. Biking, camping, hiking, and playing with their dogs are all part of the fun that await these two boys.
The quilts are each made with a charm pack of bright solids, and share the same background "water" fabric as well as sharks in the borders. I have made both patterns before, they are both fun quilts to make.

Yellow Rail Road
A pretty charm pack, some blue and yellow with pink binding, this little baby quilt came together quickly and easily, and so pretty as well!
The charms were cut in half and reattached in a rail fence patch, resulting in a 4 1/2" by 5" block. The center block was a 5" square, while the edge block were 4 1/2 by 4 1/2. A tiny setting sash cut 1" only frames these blocks nicely.
Coral Seas Baby Quilt
The fabric in this charm pack called me with their colors and their under the sea designs. I used a pattern I have used several times before, all the blocks are the same design and measurements in this quilt. A pale aqua border and quilting along the blocks finished this baby quilt for an as yet undecided recipient.
