Quilting Challenge #3--Scrappy Charms (Due July 23rd-July 31st)

[MareMare]

Yep, you can definitely cut your own charms! Thanks for asking!

[CraftyMamaBee]

Oh good.... I thought so but am happy I asked.... Already at the drawing table!

[MareMare]

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you make!

I'm not normally a quilter, but I've been wanting to branch out some of try sewing a really wild unusual quilt. I didn't have any boundaries and had trouble filtering through all the different ideas I had, so I think I'll use this challenge to do that! Charms, you say. I have some sketching to do, I think... figure out what I want to do. Yeah, I'm totally in =D.

[MareMare]

Awesome, I think it's going to be really fun!

Getting my idea from my head to fabric is presenting a challenge!  With a little tweeking here and there I'm slowly getting it but I have to take a week and a half break as we leave soon for my oldest son's wedding on the other side of Canada (thankfully though they will be living here.)  One excited and a little bit nervous Mom here

So, I'm still stuck on MAQ's right now! I am thinking that my idea might be the perfect size for that! Only instead of a smaller, maybe making it a little bit bigger..... 

I have my idea and I've started purchasing fabric in 6" cuts so I can easily cut out charms! I've got 6 sets so far! Drawing out and trying to figure it all out for sure!

So so excited!

[MareMare]

ooh fun! Mini quilts are a great project for a challenge I think!

Before we left for my son's wedding clear across the country, I had 90% of my project front finished.  Once I'm home I will finish that and work on the quilting.

[MareMare]

Awesome!  You're way ahead of the game!
