The quilts in this book are made from layer cakes. But this mini quilt is made from a 2 1/2" Candy Charm pack and finishes 15" square. (There's a larger version that uses a layer cake.)
I used a Candy Charm pack called "Simply Style" by V and Co. for Moda. I used 40 of the 42 squares to put together this 15" square miniature quilt.
Once I had it together, I wasn't very happy with the light colored squares that faded into the white Grunge background.

I took those squares out and filled in with stash. Here it is on my longarm bars after the makeover, getting some matchstick quilting.

The back is a sewing notions fat quarter. I hung it with a cut off yardstick tucked in corner squares (5" squares, folded in half diagonally) and some 3M Command velcro strips.

Here it is hanging on our stairwell mini quilt gallery, from the bottom, looking up:

While I was quilting today I was looking out the window at all these beautiful red trees and pink chrysanthemums in our backyard.

ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! I think swapping out the lower volume squares was a smart choice, they really pop now.
