It is always fun when you are playing with fabric...and precuts are definitely fun to play with. In May 2012 I was participating in a quilt-a-long using half square triangles made with 5" charm squares...I had all the hst's made, even had them all trimmed, laid them out on the floor, fully intending to follow along with the quilt-a-long group. I struggled with this quilt and just wasn't happy with the fabric choices for this quilt-a-long, I picked up the blocks and put them in a pizza box...another UFO was born...out of sight, out of mind. I abandoned the quilt-a-long June 2012...:o(
This past summer I decided I had to start finishing some of my ufo's, my stack of pizza boxes was getting too tall...out of control. I had finished a few ufo's and then decided it was time to work on the Fairy Tale Friend hst's...I took all the hst blocks, laid them out on the floor and moved them around many, many times and finally decided on a totally different arrangement from the quilt-a-long. I like the fabrics with this arrangement so much better. I had to make a few more hst's from the quilt-a-long requirements...no problem, I still had some charms to work with.
I bought some of the red pinwheel fabric from Moda's mama said SEW by Sweetwater. I thought the fabric was perfect...I struggled with the back too and changed my mind and ended with this...
The quilt measures approximately 52" x 52". I used 2 charm packs of Moda's Fairy Tale Friends designed by Sandy Klop for American Jane and 2 charm packs of porcelain #9900-182. The back is a Bella solid...called Bettys Teal #9900-126, I added some of the the extra charms and a remnant of Moda's Pezzy by Sandy Klop. It all matched perfect and I love how it all came together...another ufo finished!!
If you would like to make this quilt...Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop has the Fairy Tale Friends charm packs and the Honeysweet charm packs that I used on the quilt featured on the Moda Bake Shop. Corinna also has the Buttermilk Basin Halloween pattern in stock. It was one of my Wicked Blog Hop projects and that was fun to make too.
