Charming Baby Sampler Remake

 So I am teaching my Charming Baby Quilts Sampler as a Block of the Month for our local quilt guild, here in Cedar City ;)   Which means, I need to make some samples along the way to teach.  So that equals a new Charming Baby Quilts Sampler!!!   Now, I just need to decide on the fabric.   It's always our favorite part right, so many fabrics, so little time :)    I know I want to make one with a dark background so . . . . 


I started with the idea of a Navy Background and then picking some Stashed Charm Packs that all had navy in them.  I would not use the navy prints for the piecing, and then get a whole bunch of happy and bright colors that all tie into the Navy.   So that is Option 1.  



But then I remembered this awesome Royal Quilt that I made a while back, and realized I have 2 Luster Jolly Bars and a Charm Pack that would just look awesome on my favorite purple backing.   I have been wanting to make another purple background quilt for a while, and this just might be it.   So that is Option 2.  


But then, I thought, don't forget Low Volumes.  I just finished a little secret sewing with Fancy That Design House's new Slow Stroll and had a bunch of low volumes left from it and if I paired that with her low volumes from her first line Songbook, it could be oh so pretty!!!  And on a Lead Grunge Background, love!!  So that is Option 3.  


And of course . . . I can't decide which I like best.   So could you help a friend out :)  What is your favorite  . . . .  Option 1 Scrappy and Happy,   Option 2 Purple and Striking ,   or Option 3 Low Volume Grunge Goodness.   Comment below ;)

And would any of you like to sew along with me just in case you missed the first Quilt Along??   All you need is a copy of my Charming Baby Quilts Book, and these Free PDF downloads for the quilt along cutting instructions ;)

  1. I definitely like the top two best! The second one with the BYU blue background shows the colors best though. I'm not that fond of basic tans. Some people love them best. We just have different tastes!

  2. I love your blocks so much that it makes me want to buy these same fabrics. I cannot do this. I cannot. I must not! I am so determined to sew from my huge stash. I can say that you have been a hugely good influence on me, Amy, to help me see that I should use my sewing skills and fabric to help others! Thank you for your great example!

  10. Since this quilt is a baby quilt, I would choose Option 1: Scrappy and Happy. That said, I love all three options. The second and third would be great for teen or adult bedroom decor.

  11. I love the low volume, but a baby quilt needs to be a happy quilt with brighter colors.

  12. I agree with the others who say scrappy and happy seems best for a baby quilt.
