Falling Charms…

When I discovered that I had lost the prepared hexagons for the baby quilts, I turned to Jenny from Missouri Star Quilt Co. to save the day…and man did she deliver!  She has FREE videos for tons of quilts…but this one caught my eye!  It’s called ‘Falling Charms’ and it’s got that fresh modern look that a new mother would like, plus it’s fast and easy for this old mom to whip up!

It calls for charm packs for the feature fabric and a 2 1/2” jelly roll for the white strips…I had neither so I turned to my stash and cut out  5” squares and 2 1/2” strips the old fashion way! ;)

Love the fabric…it’s mostly Bunny Hill prints from a few years ago…blues and taupe and the off white was in the stash!

Fast and easy…and sweet!  A good combination!  Now on to the PINK version!  If you want to see Jenny’s video then you can go HERE!  Jenny is quite the character…very entertaining and she clearly enjoys what she is doing!

Before you go, hop on over to Quilty Folks Blog…and see what Audrey’s mom has received in the mail so far!!  Incredible!  If you remember, Audrey’s mom (who is an avid quilter) lost EVERYTHING in a house fire!  Audrey put out an SOS and quilters rallied!  Man, they sure did!!  Go and have a LOOK!  And this is only the first week!  If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times…QUILTERS ARE THE BEST!  Warms this ol’quilter’s heart!

Have a thrilling Thursday and happy Quilting!~P

    I have to make a baby quilt in the next couple of weeks. I'm going to look no further. And I'll be getting my charm squares and strips the "old fashioned way" too.

    That is a nice design for a quick quilt, at least for you, I cannot do quick, lol. The bunny hill fabrics look beautiful in it.
