charm square baby quilt city weekendI’ve been invited to teach a class at Creative Craft Retreat this year. Now I wont just have a weekend all to myself with crafty company and meals laid on, but I’ll get to share my skills with my friends. {I’m a teacher in my heart so I’m looking forward to teaching again.} I’m teaching a super easy quilt especially for people who’ve never made a quilt before. So I’ve been working on the sample and here it is.

I laid the squares out to create a “rainbow” or colour wash effect from corner to corner. The back is aqua on white and the machine quilting is easy lines back and forth all over.

Of course while I was sewing I decided that I needed to make a second slightly bigger quilt for people who wanted  a little more challenge or a larger finished quilt, so expect to see another quilt soon.

If you like this Oliver & S fabric, I’m sorry to say that it is pretty hard to come by as it came out last year. But their newest range, Modern Workshop, is available at the Fat Quarter Shop.

  2. The quilt is lovely. I won a charm pack on a give-away recently and was wondering what to do with it. Now I have an idea. Thanks.
