Charms on point

The charm pack, Gardenvale by Jen Kingwell for Moda, was one of my winnings last year.  I thought it appropriate to make into a cute little donation quilt. Making it #11 for H2H.  The purple is Kona eggplant(I think).

The lattice strips I cut at 1.75".  After adding some setting triangles I bordered the whole quilt with a 3" border.

 Since there were flowers in the charm pack I wanted to quilt it with a freehand allover swirl flower in a matching purple Signature thread.

A chartreuse strip was added to a purple backing to make it large enough.  There was just enough eggplant to make the binding.  Since it was a cold rainy weekend I was able to get this finished up and will be linking with Sarah for the finale linky party for H2H quilts.  How are you doing with your H2H quilts? 

This is listed as #4 on my Q2FAL project list found HERE.  And linking with Leanne.

Stay tuned for my Modern May Island Batik project coming this week!

Trees, Trees and more Trees

Heather Mulder Peterson from Anka's Treasures recently had a quilt along for either the Let It Snow quilt from her book Angles with Ease 2 or this runner.  The runner she wrote up and gave those of us who wanted to make it instead of the quilt.  Since I love making runners I chose the runner.

This is my finished runner. My trees are all from green scraps from my green bin. We started by making the trees so I didn't bother to pick out my border fabric. After all I have 2 tubs of Christmas fabric-surely I will have something to go with those green trees. Yep I sure did:-)   I love the pinecone fabric with it, just perfect IMHO!  The pattern goes together very easily. You do need Heather's Angles with Ease ruler to do the designs in the book(and this runner). But since I tend to be a ruler junkie, that wasn't a problem as I already had it ;-)

For the quilting I choose wishbones for the trees, loops for the background. One inch piano keys for the border finishes it up.

Joining in these linky parties...

My OMG for March is...

My scrappy improv chevrons. I have been working on this one for close to a year. Not that it really took that long, but, I took long breaks to do lots of other stuff ;-)

In February I was asked to do a demo on this technique at our local Mod Squad meeting. So while there I also worked on it for the day. By the end of the afternoon I was so close to finishing it that I stuck with the piecing for another day and finished. My One Monthly Goal is to get the quilting done and the binding on.  It's only lap size so even with having a few other obligations I should be able to get an easy allover design on it.

I was tickled pink when Heidi emailed me this week to let me know I had won a prize from Bag Maker's Supply for last month's OMG!!  I love making bags so it will come in handy!! Thanks Heidi and BMS!!
