Charming Baby Quilts Remix - Ring Around the Rosie

 I am squeaking one more Charming Baby Remix before Christmas!!!  This is quilt 8 of my Charming Baby Quilts Remix's and I am so excited to share it.      And here it is . . . the Ring Around the Rosie Remix quilt!!!!   Isn't it just so fun and happy!!!! 

Ohh, I just love big quilts!!!!  Don't they just make you want to curl up and snuggle down into them ;)     I remixed the original design by simply making it 4 times and that made it King Size finishing at 109" x 109".   Oh, and I also added a dark background.   I love that Navy, it just makes all of those wonderful saturated colors just pop!!!   (Pattern Adjustment's here)  

And speaking of the original, here is my Ring Around the Rosie quilt from Charming Baby Quilts.   This is such a great baby quilt and it goes together super fast so it is perfect for a quick gift.   Whichever size you decide to make, it is truly a fun quilt to make!!!!

For this Ring Around the Rosie remix, I used Sugarhouse Park fabrics by Amy Smart for Riley Blake Designs!!!  You will need 11 Charm Packs, but if you don't want to buy that many charm squares, you can always cut 5" squares from Fat Quarters.   I used a Confetti Cotton Navy solid Background and I just love it in this quilt!!!   It just sings :)  

And when it came time to quilt it, I decided I on all over wavy arch.    This quilt is perfect for this design as the squares are a wonderful guide for the whole quilt.   And doesn't it just add such wonderful movement.   I like the wavy arches over regular arches gives it more of a flowy feel, and you don't have to worry about your arches being perfect either ;)  

And I am just so excited to have this one done because it is going on my bed!!!   I have wanted to add these cheery colors in my room for a while now, and I can't wait ;)   And, the navy I think will help to hide some of the build up from all of my kiddo's and sweetheart constantly laying on the quilt.  (I tried to make a rule to pull the quilt down before you lay down, but it was just cumbersome, besides, quilts are made to be used and can be washed :)  

So do you want to make your own Charming Baby Remix Ring Around the Rosie quilt??  Just download this free  PDF Ring Around the Rosie Remix Instructions  document.  You will need a copy of my Charming Baby Quilts book to make the Remix as the download just includes the alternations and not the complete instructions.  You use the book and the download together ;)

And that is my Ring Around the Rosie quilt!!!  I hope you love it just as much as I do and want to make one of your own, either in the king size or baby size ;)  And if you do,  I would love to see it!!  You can email me a picture at happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com or post it to social media with the hashtag #happyquiltingwithmc and/or #charmingbabyquilts ;)  I can't wait to see your Ring Around the Rosie Quilts!!!

Charming Baby Quilts Remix - Color in the Lines

 Okay, it's Saturday and not Friday, but I still have another Charming Baby Remix!!!  This is quilt 7 of my Charming Baby Quilts Remix's and I am so excited to share it.  Only 3 more to go, well see if I make it by the end of the year!!!!   And here it is . . . the Color in the Lines Remix quilt!!!!

Ohh, I just love Scrappy Goodness!!!!  This is such a wonderful way to bust all of those left over charm squares you have or if you cut your scraps into 5" squares you can just go through that pile ;)   I remixed the original design by simply adding more blocks and lengthening the sashing to make it a large lap quilt or twin size and of course, I added a dark background.  I just love the way the rainbow pops now ;) This Color in the Lines remix quilt finishes at 72" x 85 1/2".        (Pattern Adjustment's here)  

And speaking of the original, here is my Color in the Lines quilt from Charming Baby Quilts.   This is such a great baby quilt and it goes together super fast so it is perfect for a quick gift.   This quilt is just so fun and fast to make in whatever size!!!

For this Color in the Lines remix, I used scraps and lots of them!!!  You will need 4 Charm Packs if you prefer to not go scrappy, cut I just loved using up all my leftover 5" squares.   And I used a Charcoal solid Background which just makes all of those colors pop!!!   And the binding is scrappy leftover as well, how fun is that.  I keep all my binding scraps for projects just like this.   And I just love it!!!  

And when it came time to quilt it, I decided I on all over loop de loops in a super fun Rainbow thread!!!  I really liked the idea of keeping this one simple as the design is so very simple and I think the rainbow thread just ties all of that scrappy goodness together.   And my oh my, this was a super fast design to quilt :)

I love how the quilting isn't quite as dense for this particular design.   While it still adds lots of movement and great texture, it will also still be nice and snuggly.  Double bonus!!!
