Playful Posies in Cottage Charm!!!

 Today I am super excited to be sharing this beautiful new Playful Posies quilt finish with you featuring the oh so cute Cottage Charm Collection by Kenzie Elston for Poppie Cotton!! And you know how I love adding a dark background to my new quilts to show how they pop . . .well, Playful Posies needed a dark background and how gorgeous are those flowers in Cottage Charm just popping off of the background ;)  

This Cottage Charm Quilt  is so much fun to make and it is Layer Cake Friendly so you can just grab a stack (or 2 for this size) and add your background fabric. I used Blue Ribbon Dark Blue Country Confetti for my background fabric and yes, I use it a lot!!! It is such a favorite background :)     I just love how it makes all of those charming prints just look so bright and happy!! 

And while this might look a little difficult, Playful Posies it truly is a great beginner quilt with basic quilting techniques.  Just a few different size Stitch and Flip corners to keep track of, and of course, I gave you pressing directions for nested angled seams, my favorite!!!   

 And my favorite thing about this pattern is how the flowers are offset so they look like they are dancing across the quilt.   There are actually two different flower block layouts that just add to all of the movement, but they are still simple to make. Oh so much fun!! 

And once again, I am so thankful to my amazing MIL Barbara.   Barbara did the quilting and piecing on this one for me :)  And her quilting is just oh so cute!!  She quilted echoed paisleys in the background and then all different flowers and vines on the petals.   She is just so creative in her quilting ;)  It just adds to the charm of the quilt!! 

 And like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, the the nice thing is, the  Playful Posies Pattern  has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you like. This is the picnic size, but you can make it from a baby size all the way to a queen size ;)   The bigger the quilt, the more flowers dance across it!!  

And that is my Playful Posies Quilt! I hope you have enjoyed this post and consider making your own Playful Posies Quilt!!! And if you do, I would love to see them!
