I need to make a quilt in a hurry... I have two Charm packs...
I am thinking I could do a BIG IRISH Chain... or make four patch blocks alternating with cream fabric squares the same size.
Have you done either? Do you think it will look alright? I like big blocks, fast results, but not sure about this being TOO simple.
Hit me...
Hmm...would it be too much work to make them all into HSTs (two per charm) with the cream fabric? That way you have lots of layouts to choose from!
Or simpler: Cut the cream into charms as well, than sew them together charm - cream - charm - cream etc., but start each row with the alternating fabric (once cream, then charm). That way you get a kind of "Falling charms" design.
That would be a big Irish chain. Your squares to go with the 9 patch would have to be 13.5". That sure would make 2 charm packs go a long way, but do you have enough solid to do it?
Another option... Sashed four patch. Hmmm?
Is this quilt in one of the magazines?

Had some more ideas:
- Rectangle 4 patch
- A variation on a chevron
- or you go modern and make a top with one coloured strip with randomly cut and pieced charms down one third in
- sew them into granny squares
- D9P/D4P/DD4P
Oops, I'm on a roll now...:D
I think I am going to order another of the charm pack, and my yardage to do the Quilt in the tutorial Snowballed 4 patch... and since I am in a hurry... A trip to the shop is in order! Woot!
Anyone else want to go tomorrow?
Wait, how big is that...Quote:

I found the pattern for sale: Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. ? Domino PDF ~ No. 448 Finishes 33 X 33 using 2 charm packs and yardage plus 20 charm squares for the outer border.
If you plan to do this quilt in a hurry, I would not recommend snowballing corners. I found the process very tedious when I made the Sashed Flower Garden quilt. I vote for a D9P. Or even a 4-patch mixed with solids. JCY

Or stacked coins? I have done that one using charms instead of jelly rolls (Iron quilter contest quilt). :)
You are on your own . . . I've been to Missouri Star three times this month and I have company coming next week.
BESIDES, I don't need you to make me a quilt, even though you did promise . . . But, if you insist, I love the one Lorie posted!!!
Good to know. Thanks!Quote:

Oops sorry! Forgot you said big blocks. lol
Which one? I posted two, just in case I decide to make you one:icon_razz:Quote:

If you look in my album entitled quilts on the second page last quilt is a basic four patch with a plain square next to it. Makes a nice looking quilt that works up really fast!
Silly Geese works up fast and two charm packs wold make a nice size, but I missed what size you need it to be.
Oh, I love this! Is there a pattern or tutorial?

Yes, that is what I was talking about... something like that. And after reading the picture comments, I can hardly go wrong with that one... Blondie said she "really, really, really, really REALLY" likes that one.Quote:

I have to thank Karen for that ability - she talked about a Chrome extension that allows you to do an image google search. I LOVE this feature! Thanks Karen!!! Once it is installed, you just right mouse click on the picture and choose search google for image. Most of the time one of the first few links gets you what you are looking for.Quote:

Another one I like is the Pinterest one - I can easily pin while searching, especially for sites that might not have a Pin It link :)
Yes! We all want to! Every day!Quote:
