I believe this one got missed being posted for October.
Christmas Countdown
12 weeks of Christmas
Countdown to Christmas with me. For the next 12 Sundays til Christmas, I will feature a sewing project that is either Christmas related or a gift idea. I would love to hear what sewing projects you are working on.
I created this quilt using 48 charm squares as part of my quilt guild’s President’s Challenge.
The challenge was to bring in 48 charm squares ( all the same) in exchange for 48 different charm squares the following month. We were challenged to create something with them. In an earlier post I shared what I made with my Halloween charms. Now if you know me, you know that I LOVE matchy-matchy, symmetry, geometric shapes…so a scrappy quilt is definitely a challenge for me.
I had a small postcard pattern for a chevron quilt on my wish list of things to try. What a great way to check two things off my list! I added the olive green background fabric, borders, backing and binding. It’s a small lap quilt size and would likely fit a toddler bed. It was pieced and quilted by machine. I like that it was a smaller quilt project that I could manage on my machine. I followed the chevrons for the quilting. Gift #1 is done!
Creatively Yours,
Roxane
