Scrap Happy Baby Quilt

Introducing Scrap Happy, in a baby quilt size! 

This is my fourth quilt made from the Charm School (affiliate link) book, with Sea Glass, Lickety-Split 1, and Lickety-Split 2 the others. Any more quilts from charms are of my own design (hint, hint - there's some in the works!) but those are for another day.

I must say, I really enjoyed this book, and had hoped to make a couple more from the patterns. But, as I said a few weeks ago, distractions have gotten in the way. So, I'll say adieu to Charm School, (affiliate link) and move on.

Scrap Happy details

I know, this is what you're really waiting for - quilting eye-candy! Let's have a look:

Made from charm squares, with a fast and fun way to make 4-patch units that easily achieve scrap variety. If you haven't seen the videos on that technique, check out The Charming 4-patch: Fast, Fun, and Fabulous, and The Charming 4-patch on Overdrive!

Ah, the quilting! Crosshatching in the sashing,

stitch-in-the-ditch on the squares, and a really simple line fill in the sashing stars adds a bit of specialness!

And guess what? I have a video on how to fill those stars, which can be done on a domestic or longarm machine - yeah! 

To start off, the star has a 1/4" border stitched inside, and two lines in the star arms divide the space for the magic to happen. 

The video starts with the last bit of a dividing line being stitched, then moves onto the fill.

Pretty easy, right? Just another idea for a star fill, if ever you need one!

And if you wondering why there's no awesome fill in those 4-patch squares, well, I had one planned, then changed my mind. I really liked the poofy squares that stitch-in-the-ditch provided. Plus, they look pretty cool on the back, with that grey flannel of pink birds.

Soft and cuddly for a sweet baby!

Thanks for coming to Charm School (affiliate link) with me!
Happy Quilting!
