I am entering a second quilt in to the Blogger's Quilt Festival! I am very proud of my Charm Dash quilt - given it is my first ever released Pattern - so I am entering it in to the Original Design category!
Those of you who have been around here for a while would know I released my Charm Dash pattern about a month ago, but for those of you who are new here (You'll find some captivating information about me and my work up there in the "Who is Ms Midge" section ^^^^) - here's the low down! The Charm Dash came to be after the first Aussie Charm Swap I ran, with Kate Spain fabrics. I was left wondering how to use my 5" charm squares without wasting ANYTHING? After tossing and turning one night, I spent the morning drawing up a block, which would go on to be the Charm Dash block and a whole quilt!
The block is a bit of a mutant churn dash - except that you are using 5" charm squares and not wasting a single inch of fabric.
It is perfect for showcasing your favourite fabrics - and in my case, the Kate Spain collection of prints was a stunning example of how fabrics from a multitude of collections can mix beautifully.
I pieced and quilted the whole quilt using my trusty Aurifil #2024 in a 40wt. The free motion pattern is what I'd like to call "vines", but you can call it whatever you like!
The backing is a very simple on fabric finish - but oh, what a fabric!
This quilt made me believe that I could actually reallllly be original and come up with some of my own quilty ideas! Which in turn led me to designing my Pavement Puddles quilt. So I guess you could say it was the start of a whole new beginning!
A BIG thank you to Amy's Creative Side for always putting on a fabulous quilt show! You can check out the Festival main page HERE. Make sure you allocate yourself a few hours to get through all the quilty eye candy! And you can also nominate your favourite quilts HERE!
