Charm pack Diamonds!



It’s another Project Quilting Finish!! This weeks theme is “Mining for Diamonds”.  With little time this week, I wanted to make something quick. That mixed with my joy of making true quilts. In my quick brainstorming, I saw a post in the challenge quilt group about the chandelier quilt. This would be the perfect quilt. (Chandelier by lella boutique). 



I went thru my pile of charm packs and picked out just one. I decided to do a baby quilt, since I knew I had 2 I needed to make. Then I picked out a big piece of white scrap fabric. And off to sewing I went.



I picked out a few year old fabric collection called “Serenade” by Cyndi Walker. I loved the colors and enjoyed sewing this up.  This pattern really went together fast. 



Then I quilted it with a basic meander in a light pink. The backing a light pink and grey that I pulled from my collection. 



Then I bound it in a darker pink that matched the dark pink in the quilt. Smacked a label on the back and it was done!!! The stress of finishing a quilt in a week wasn’t that bad this round!!! On to the next project!!

Extra Large Hot Pads


With my crazy work schedule, I didn’t have time to sew up much this week.  I decided to go small and simple.  These are XLhot pads made for casserole dishes.  They measure about 13x15 and take up lots of my scrap batting.  All random stash fabric.  Tied up with a little ribbon, they are ready for gifting!!
