{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.

Lynda says
Oct 11, 2012 at @ 16:17cannot believe that there are no comments as yet, I am a recent follower of yours – maybe because you live in Australia and I was lucky enough to visit for a couple of months in 1988. I think small prints would go well as mini charms – like cinnamon spice, and anything cuzco it fantastic.
