This quilt pattern is such a great design--made from charm squares--that I made 2 versions for the quilt along!!!
Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs has been hosting a QAL (quilt along) for her new pattern, Board & Batten. It started January 4th and runs through March 1st, when Cheryl will be hosting a quilt parade! Here are my two quilts!!!
Maker: Me!
Pattern: Board and Batten by Meadow Mist Designs
Size: 40" x 48"
Fabric: Charm Pack--E. Vive's Mix & Match Club 21 Contempo for Benartex
Batting: Quilters Dream
Thread: Glide--Cream
Pantograph: Butterfly Garden ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting
Don't you love Butterfly Garden on this quilt?!!!
Interesting Info: I used a charm pack I won from Jennifer @ The Inquiring Quilter, plus a few extra blenders to make this quilt!!! The back is a pieced assortment of Japanese fabrics--dragonflies, balls and cherry blossoms.⤵️
I'll be donating this quilt to Quilts For Kids--a new LQS is a drop off point for QFK, Wildflower Quilt Co.
Quilt Info #2:
Maker: Me!
Pattern: Board and Batten by Meadow Mist Designs

Batting: Quilters Dream

Pantograph: Buttercup ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Quilting
I love this quilting design--Buttercup!!!⤴️⤵️Interesting Info: I made this quilt from 5" squares I had in my drawer. These are Japanese indigo fabrics, and white/cream fabrics that were scrap size and I cut into 5" squares. I also cut my scraps into 10" squares, 2 1/2" strips and 2 1/2" squares.
Close-ups of some of the Japanese indigo prints! ⤴️⤵️Pieced back of Japanese prints. ⤴️
Love the movement in this quilting design!!! ⤴️
This was a great QAL and a super fun pattern to make!!! I highly recommend it, whether you have a charm pack or scraps from your collection! Thanks, Cheryl!!!

Both are lovely quilts. I love how you pieced the backings. The pantos are great! I love them both.
ReplyDeleteTwo more beautiful quilts! Beautiful quilting on them.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the QFK drop off at Wildflower - thank you for that info! Both quilts are pretty - are you keeping the blue/white one? It's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these. The indigo always is such a treat to see. I love the Buttercup quilting design. It is always fun to see what you pantographs you use! I will keep this pattern in mind as a great one for a lot of scraps in one color!
ReplyDeleteVery neat quilt design by Cheryl. Your quilts turned out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteThese are both lovely quilts, though my favorite is the brightly-colored one that you're donating. Bless you for that! I admire how you seem to so easy whip up a quilt - or two! - and make them with such precision. Your longarm quilting is beautiful, and make for perfect finishes. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThey are both so gorgeous, Nancy. It is definitely hard to choose a favorite.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts. I love how different they look. I have been checking out this design for a while. Lots of great inspiration from your finishes.
ReplyDeleteSame pattern but boy they sure look different! Nice work all around Nancy.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me happy to know that the charm pack you won from me went onto to become such a lovely charity quilt! These will make someone so happy. Thanks for sharing your quilts on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteFunny how the same pattern can look so different! Love how you quilted these, too! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts! I am surprised how well I like the second quilting design - it is a flower but in a more modern and straight way. Great mixture ;)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Love the scrappy one.
