Natalie's Quilt

I made this quilt for my step daughter Natalie.  The blocks are a traditional jacob's ladder, laid out in a not so traditional pattern. To make things easy I used mini charm squares for the four patches, saving me tons of cutting time. I made this quilt with Moda's Cannon fabric by Kate Spain.

I bought 10 packs of mini charm squares plus(8) 2 1/2 inch squares from my sash.

 I quilted it with flowers and leaves in the purple/orange areas, and flowers in the green/yellow fabrics. In the white I quilted lines back and forth.

This was one of those quilts that went together so smooth and so fast. I had a blast making it for so many reason. It was great to see what I could make with mini charm squares, I loved the fabrics, and colors. The quilting turned out beautiful, I hope Natalie loves it as much as I do!

I will be posting the free pattern.

New projects!

A couple of the fun things I have been playing with are, For You by Zen Chic and Canyon by Kate Spain. Both are Moda fabric lines. I have quilts started out of both lines and can't wait to share them when I get a little further along.  

I have a lopsided log cabin quilt out of the Zen Chic fabric, I used the pinks and oranges for that quilt.  I have plans for two other quilts out of that line! 

I started a Jacob ladder Quilt out of the Canyon, the layout is super fun.  The really exciting thing about the Jacob ladder quilt is I am using the precut mini charm squares.  The quilt takes 428 - 2 1/2" squares, I am using 10 mini charm packs and will only have to cut a handful of additional squares, this makes me Happy!
