The July PSQ Charm Swap Begins

The July PSQ Charm Swap Begins

 

It’s charm swap time again!  Here’s the link to Mary at The Curious Quilter for all the info you need!

My pic shows 10 blocks complete but as of today I have 20 blocks finished.  Each block contains 64 – 2″ charms and is 12″ finished.  I’m planning to make a queen size quilt with no sashing and no borders so… I’ll need 56 blocks or 3,584 charms with no repeats!!  And that’s what’s so amazing about swapping!  For the last swap, I received 700 charms, none of them were the same!!!

If you’ve ever wanted to try a Postage Stamp Quilt, now is the time to start!  Check out Mary at The Curious Quilter for information, pictures and ideas!

This is my design for In The Bag ~ Ugly Fabric Quilt Challenge.

I’ve had it on the wall for most of the week and I still like it!  It reminds me of a picnic tablecloth.  I hope I can find the right fabric for the backing in my stash, too.

Thanks for all your earlier comments when I was deciding!  I appreciate them.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July to all of you Americans celebrating a day off in the middle of the week!

I started sewing my Ugly Challenge Quilt fabric this weekend!  With no real plan in mind, I made all the HST units and then combined 4 of them into these chevron units.  Here’s a few of the layouts that I was playing with.  A design wall is so fun!

Let me know what you think, I’d love some feedback or additional ideas!!  Thanks!
