Big Finish - The Charming Plus Quilt Along

Finished this puppy and within the deadline too.  I am actually surprised myself.  My friend Erika is doing it too and she and I have been playfully throwing down to see who could finish .  Somehow I finalized it.  The quilt is probably composed of only 50% stash but I will take it considering I couldn't find my green fabrics.  Quilt is just diagonal straight line, I had a little back puckering but it adds a little character.

It's also worth mentioning this back makes me crazy!!!  I almost should have given it more design but I kept needing to make it a little bigger and still a little bigger.  And then finally I needed that little strip of bikes on the left and that's like the worse part to me.  Oh well it's finished.

Jones will be very excited he often walks by it on the machine and touches dinosaurs.  Anyhow this is also the quilt for our twin bed which will eventually relocate to his room.  I am giving it to him for Christmas because the boy needs more presents to open right? 

Technically this is 9 on my 2016 list as well so check.

Thanks Tisha for the challenge to do this project. And big thank you to Erika who gave me that last little nudge to finish it.

Charming Plus Quilt Along Moves Along

I finished up the top and the back for this guy.  Now to get it wrapped up.  The holiday season is rapidly approaching so that makes quilting a little more of a stretch.  It's also a challenge since I have been teaching classes at lunch time and Thea wants to stay up late.  But maybe I can take a day off and work on projects.  I love how the top turned out despite wishing for more black to mix in there. 

Charming Plus QAL blocks

Moving right along.  I finished piecing all my blocks I made two for the back as well which two not sure yet.  I practiced laying it out when I still needed to finish the last blocks.  I am liking it but wishing I had more balance of black to whites.  I thought about getting more black fabric to complete it but I am trying not to buy more fabric so I didn't do it.  Jonesy saw it and is ecstatic about the dinosaur prints. 

All Cut - Charming Plus Quilt Along Progress

So I did add in a few more green fabrics which I bought,  I still can't find my green bin of material. Perhaps the dinosaurs ate it???   I also got a few extra darks as well because this is going to be Jones's Twin size quilt and I thought it might need to be bigger.  

I cut everything to 5" despite what the tutorial recommended because I want the twin quilt to cover the bed and heaven knows it would have been a billion tiny pieces otherwise.  A billion people.  This also gave me some extras for my next charm square project.  

All Cut and matched up.  Ready for sewing.

Charming Plus QAL Fabrics

My fabric pull for the Charming Plus Quilt Along.  I need to locate my bin of greens to add a few more but it's missing at the moment.  Everything is scraps or stash except for that hipster print.
