5" charm squares - 'Mama Said Sew' by Sweetwater |
I settled on a Square in a Square quilt, with a nice bit of white space to contrast against the graphic style of the Mama Said Sew collection. I cut the layer cake into four 5" squares and sewed them onto a larger 9.5" square. I had decided that during the construction I would make sure I had some generous BONUS half square triangles to make another quilt.

With this quilt top finished I think it deserves to join up with Crazy Mom Quilts and Confessions of a Quilter.
Great quilt! The design is simple, but the fabrics make it really fun. I love the red and black.... and the text fabric!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's a lovely range, and I really like what you've done with it. A chevron design will look good too. I also agree about machine sewn quilts.....add some rotary cutting and it is astonishing how quickly they can be made. I'm looking forward to seeing your Nearly Insane, what's your next sanity testing project?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about that range making a beautiful quilt - super design! Well done.

ReplyDeleteAfter working on Your Nearly Insane Project, this must have felt liberating or like you were cheating somehow to finish a top so quickly. It's fun, simple and charming all rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics! Lovely finish! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI bought a charm pack of this same fabric collection and used it to make pincushions. Now that I've seen your adorable quilt I'm sad I didn't buy more! I can't wait to see what you make with your bonus HST, too!
