Verna Charm Baby Coin Quilt By: Elizabeth Garner, Texas, USA I am fairly new to quilting. This week I finished a baby crib quilt using Moda Verna charm squares for my third daughter who is due to arrive in about five weeks. This was the first time I tried free motion quilting (stippling) and while it’s not perfect, I loved both the process and the results! Quilt size: width: 37" height: 46" |
The Verna coin quilt is beautiful. It is amazing that she is a beginner. It is very sweet. This will be a lovely addition to her nursery.
Beth did a great job with the CLAMS INCOGNITO quilt. I was impressed a design like this could come out of charms!!
Linda
i nearly entered this one but my work doesn’t feel half as good as what i always see entered here!! great job everyone <3
Now, this is amusing … my funky quilt full of hanging charms among all those beauties. Guess this is a gage of how far out of the mainstream I am in the quilting world. Now I know “charms” pertaining to quilts means 5″x 5″ squares of fabric.
;-)
I love working with charm squares. They are such a fun way to get a little bit of all fabrics in a particular fabric line. Funny thing, though, I’ve been in the quilting world a long time and when I first read this one, I was thinking traditional charm quilt as in…….not two fabrics alike so it’s called a charm quilt. Or so I learned many years ago. Now the terms “charm”, “layer cake”, “honeybuns”, etc. have all taken on a completely different meaning and quilters who joined my grandma around the quilting frame would wonder what is going on with quilting these days. LOL!
Seems forever since I’ve been around for a visit – and you went and moved all the furniture Michelle!! Lol!!
I just started working on a charm quilt using 2.5 inch squares I won in a Blackbird Designs giveaway publicizing their new Moda line: Antique Fair – love it!!
Blogged about it this morning; come see!
Amazing varietry of entrants this week!
These were all such beautiful quilts! Although we have different tastes in design and fabric, there was such talent showcased. Thanks for inspiring me and thank you to those who voted for my quilt, whether you know me personally or not!
