Charming Baby Quilts - 3 more Remix's Started!!!

You might recall when I shared these Charming Baby Quilts Remix's.  Well, I have a two more to add to the "Mix" today that I started working on yesterday :)  Well on my way to having all 10 Charming Baby Quilts redesigned in  EQ8  and remade!!!

I only have To the Moon, On the Move left to Remix.   So let me share the 3 new remix's for today ;) 

 Shine Bright - Original

 Shine Bright - Remix

The original version of Shine Bright, is just that, super bright!!!   So I thought it would be fun to see what it looks like in a softer palette ;)  I am going to use Poppie Cotton's new Woodland Songbirds that will be released later this year along with a Country Confetti background in white.  Isn't that just so pretty!!!  And by making an additional 11 blocks, this quilt will be Twin Sized at 74" x 92", perfect for a bed of someone special ;)     

Twinkle Twinkle - Original

Twinkle Twinkle - Remix

 I am so super excited about this Remix!!!   Twinkle Twinkle is getting up-sized to using Layer Cake Squares instead of Charm Pack Squares and having a Panel piece for the center of the stars!!!  So great!!! It is made just like the original, only bigger!!!!   It is a perfect picnic size at 72" x 72"  ;)   I am using  2 Apricot and Ash Layer Cakes, the Grey Apricot and Ash Panel, and the Grey Small Plus Apricot and Ash Yardage for the Accent fabric.   These fabrics are set to be released in August and I am hoping to have this done at about the same time!!!! 

Color in the Lines - Original

Color in the Lines - Remix

So I knew from the start of these Remix's that I needed to make a quilt that was all scrappy!!!  And Color in the Lines is just perfect for that :)  So I am going through my scrap drawers and cutting up lots of fun Charm Squares for this one!!!  So exciting.   The quilt will be getting a Times 4 action again making it a fantastic twin size at 73" x 86".  And I am just so excited to be digging into my scrap bins!!!  I will be using 160 Charm Squares, so this is going to be a great scrap buster!!! 

  

So ya . . . that now makes 8 new Charming Baby Quilts Remix's with only 2 more left ;)  .  You will need a copy of Charming Baby Quilts to make the remix's but I will share the alterations needed for these new sizes when I finish the quilts :)   And I will also add them to the Charming Baby Quilts, All the Quilts, All the Details page to make it easy to find them ;)   

And fun side note for all my readers . . . right now you can use the promo code EQ8MELISSA for 20% off all EQ products.  I just love that I can easily and quickly recreate my quilts with fun twists and see just what they are going to look like when I am all done ;)   This promo code will only last for 1 more week, so if you have been dreaming of sketching your quilts in this amazing program, now is the time ;)   

   

I am off to stitch, and maybe even work on those last two remix designs ;) 

I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!

Tutorial Throwback Thursday - Summer Sleepover Set

This week we are camping with our very best friends from school.  We always have such a great time with them!!!  And of course, camping means lots of packing of pillows, blankets, and bags and it has been so fun to see my kids dragging around their Summer Sleepover Set from place to place.  They are just perfect for each of them.   So So for today's Thursday throwback , I figured it was only fitting to share my Summer Sleepover Set:)

The Summer Sleepover Set is actually 3 full tutorials that walk you through step by step with all of the pictures.  There is a tutorial for a pillowcase first off.   This is a super easy tutorial and it even has a nice decorative band around the opening of the case.   Perfect if you want to do the million pillowcase challenge.  

And next up in the  Summer Sleepover Set is this adorable little drawstring bag.   This is the perfect size for an overnight when you just want to pack up some pj's and such ;)   And my kids just love the drawstring tie.  And again, it is a lot easier to make than it looks.  If I can make it, you totally can!!!

And finally, the he Summer Sleepover Set has a tutorial for a cute panel quilt.   And of course, you don't have to use these panels.   The tutorial would work great for any panel that you want to turn into a quilt.  Which is so nice, because sometimes it is just so great to be able to make a quick finish like this, especially when you know it is going to be their "car" quilt :) 

And that is my Summer Sleepover Set!!!     I hope you have enjoyed today's Tutorial Throwback Thursday as much as I have!!!    Summer is a great time to just get away and this little set is just so fun to get away with ;)      To make your own Summer Sleepover Set  just click on any of the project name links for the free step by step tutorial.    And when you are done,  I would love to see your projects!!!   You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com, post it to social media with #happyquiltingwithmc  :)   I can't wait to see your Summer Sleepover Sets!!!

Oh, and just for fun . . . here is a picture from our camping trip ;)   We went on an ATV trip, and it was a little dusty :)

And by a little, I mean a whole lot ;)   But oh so much fun!!!

Thanks for popping in today!!!   I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Day!!!!
