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
