Charm Pack Chili - A Shortcut Quilt!!

Today I am excited to share my newest finish, the Charm Pack Chili quilt!!!   When my wonderful friends at Fat Quarter Shop  asked if I wanted to try out their new Short-Cut Quilt pattern I was all over it because ya know . . . fun and fast!!!   And this Charm Pack Chili quilt was just that, so fast and oh so fun to make!!!  


The Charm Pack Chili quilt is put together in such a fun way!!  You make 2 sets of four patch blocks, and then slice a sliver from the center with this awesome Creative Grids 1 x 12 ruler  and then put the opposite blocks back together.   And you come up with this super fun design when it all goes together!!  The pattern comes in 3 sizes, (table runner, lap, and twin) and I made the twin size so that it would be a nice large quilt to snuggle up in.


As you can tell by the name, this quilt is Charm Pack friendly.   I used a Things Above Charm Packs by Fancy That Design House for Moda.   And I just love that this is so happy and bright.  I am making this quilt for a good friend who loves to camp, and I figured the vibrant colors would just be perfect for that, as well as the fun sunshine's and raindrops print!!   I paired it with a Shabby Grey background because I love how it makes the colors pop, while still not being white so it will hide the dirt a little more (cause ya know, camping quilt ).   But of course, This would look awesome in any fabrics as it is just so happy ;)  You just need to grab some Charm Packs and you will have it whipped up in no time.  


When it came time to quilt it, I decided on an all over loose loop de loop.  Again, I want this to be a warm quilt to snuggle in, so I went with thick batting and easy quilting so it will be super snuggly.   It is also nice because it is super fast to quilt.     And I just love that my favorite 402 So Fine Thread blends so great, in all the prints!!! 


And of course, between the thread and the design, it adds some really awesome texture to the quilt!!!   Doesn't that picture just make you want to snuggle up in this and take a nap in the sunshine :)    And the twin size finishes at 68" x 83" so it is a perfect size to do just that ;)  


 And that is my Charm Pack Chili quilt!!!  If you would like to make your own Charm Pack Chili quilt you can find the Free Pattern Here   And as a special bonus, Fat Quarter Shop even has a You Tube video that walks you through making the quilt step by step.  How great is that!!!  Oh, and be sure to pop on over to the Jolly Jabber for lots more Charm Pack Chili quilting inspiration as there are a few bloggers making this quilt!!!

I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Day!!
