Do you remember when you first fell in love with fabric?
I do.
I used to sew clothing, but had never tried quilting, when I walked into a quilt store to look around. I was overwhelmed with the colours ! Love!!
I picked up what I later learned was a charm pack. I had no idea what it was , or what I could do with it, but I loved the colours. I dont even know what the fabric is, because over the years I took off the label and looked at them often!
So I decided it was time to use this charm pack up...now that I actually know what it is and what I can use it for LOL.
I used a tutorial from an older QAL by Melissa over at Happy Quilting..The Happy Quilting QAL. It is a disappearing 16 patch..really fun! (Thank you Melissa)
So I added a bit of white....and made up a little quilt. It is not very big...about 50"x 60".
.and some pink dot backing...
I quilted it up using a big loopy flowery FMQ...and my "bubbles" FMQ for the borders..
I dont know if I can give this one away....it is my "first love"
But I will link up with TGIFF.. this week over at Quilt Matters!
