{The giveaway is now closed}
Welcome to my post on the Sweet Treat Blog Hop. The challenge is to make something from 1 packet of mini charms (42 – 2.5″ squares) and 1/2 yd of co-ordinating fabric. (As usual, I got it half right and did not read correctly the 1/2 yards requirement. Oops!)
 |
| Finished Quilt Size: 36″ x 48 1/2″ |
‘Tis the Season to be Charmed mini quilt has a Christmassy theme with the inscription, Love, Hope and Peace inscribed on the bottom row.
What you will need:
1 packet of Odds n Ends mini charm pack by Cosmo Cricket
1 yard flax background fabric ( 36″ x 42″ piece )
7″ x width of fabric leaf green piece
42″ x 58″ backing fabric
40″ x 54″ wadding
1/2 yard binding fabric
Assembly
- Fold the flax solid into quarters and then again twice on the diagonal.
- Place the mini charms on point as shown in the diagram below.
- Glue or pin each mini charm in place
- Using a smaller stitch, sew 1/8″ in from the edge of each square. The squares are cut with a pinked edging to prevent fraying.
- Cut the 7″ wide leaf green strip to 36″ wide and sew to completed panel.
- Place 9 mini charm squares on point evenly across the joined pieces.
- Layer the top sheet, wadding and backing and quilt as desired. Bind it, Label it and give it to someone you love.

I think Flirt or Marmalade are my favourite min charms at the moment! Your project is lovely!
I follow your blog 🙂
Hi Jane, yes I stalk, read and enjoy your blog
Mine would be Cuzco or any other Kate Spain they made into these delicious treats
How lovely! I found your blog through the bloghop…and am now following. =)
Honey honey is so cute…actually, there are a couple other little mini's I like too! Maybe I'll win a chance to shop for some. =) Thanks again.
I'd probably go Odds&Ends as I'm a Cosmo Cricket fan. It's a tough call though because I might hold out for Posy in January. It's nice to see new colors from Aneela. (and you know that I follow you on twitter too!)
Thanks for hosting. Great tutorial.
I follow your blog and love your quilt 🙂
I'm really loving everything Kate Spain right now, so Cuzco or Honey, Honey are my favorites 🙂

I'm coveting some Cuzco at the moment, though I would probably go for something bigger than a mini charm pack with that. I really like the Odds and Ends that you featured in your project best.
