Today is Day 6 on the blog hop. If you haven't been following along, I encourage you to start at Day 1 to see all the great projects.
My project from the book is: Charming Stripes.
This quilt finishes at 39 x 49 inches and doesn't take a lot of time to piece.
I paired a Benartex charm pack (Hot Basics by the Kanvas Studio) with Kona Kumquat and Silver.
I used three different free-motion quilting motifs: boxy stipple in the background, wishbone in the orange stripes, and an all-over stipple in the print fabrics.
I used Aurifil thread: 2150 Pumpkin and 2600 Dove. The colours blended in so well, but they give the quilt great texture.
This is great book, and I encourage you to grab one quickly. You can get a signed copy from Cheryl's shop.
I used the following:
The oranges are so good in your version of Charming Stripes!
