I started this cute little quilt last year. It did not really take a lot of time to make it in actually hours. I hand pieced this quilt last September while we were traveling in the motor home over a span of 4 weeks with about a week of time when I didn’t work on it. I put it aside while I was working on other projects and took it out in the middle of March to hand quilt it. Again that was 4 weeks of time but there were days here and there when I didn’t work on it. I think all totaled this quilt most likely took 6 weeks to make from start of piecing to quilting the last stitch. The quilt pattern name is “So Charming” and it is from Anina at Twiddletails. I made my border smaller than the pattern called for and also used 100% cotton batting. I wash and dry the quilt after I make it to give it that crinkly look. Due to those reasons my quilt is a little smaller than hers. I also cut my last border in a wavy edge which contributed to it being a little smaller also.
The finished quilt - 43 inches by 59 inches

the backing - I used the same fabric for the binding.

Now that this little quilt is finished I will get back to appliqueing the flowers on the baby quilt that I started last month. I have not touched it in over a week while I was finishing up So Charming. There are six flowers left to applique and then it will be quilted on the hoop frame. I was going to quilt Baltimore Bliss next but after I added a border around the edges I noticed one side was wavy and I want to fix that before quilting. My stack of quilt tops is getting smaller!! Hurray – I do not like to have so many waiting in line.
