Sadie’s Charm – A Free Quilt Pattern

Happy Monday!  It’s Cindy reporting in from Ohio where it’s snowy and cold!

We are very lucky to have a Miniature Schnauzer named Sadie Sue.  She likes to snuggle under blankets and quilts in this cold weather.  I was working on this quilt design and she decided to come over and give me an hand…I mean paw!

Here she is again, giving me a look that says, “Hand over the quilt NOW and no one gets hurt!”

So…I decided to name this free quilt pattern after my sweet little Schnauzer…it’s officially called “Sadie’s Charm Quilt”.

My dear friend, MJ, gave me several partial charm square packages from different fabric lines.  At first, I wasn’t sure what to do with all these different colors and prints but then decided to just throw caution to the wind and sew them all together.

I used a burgundy inner border to pick up on all the burgundies in the charm squares.  I decided to use a small floral print for the outer border to tie in the dark colors in the charm squares and the various shades of orange, blue, burgundy and green.  I will be binding this in burgundy after it’s quilted.

Misc. Monday

I came across this book by Janie Lou at a local quilt shop.  It’s a great book for beginners because all the quilts in the book use some form of precut fabrics.  The quilts are fast and easy and can be adapted to your own personal style!

I had a fat quarter bundle of Cotton & Steele fabrics in shades of navy blue, teal, gold and white so I decided to make the “floating 8” quilt from Janie Lou’s book.  The colors in this fabric collection look fresh and sharp against the white and the navy blue.

I used the mustang fabric for the quilt backing.  Maybe I am really a cowgirl at heart!

This could be one of my all time favorite quilts!

I have another quilt from this book in progress.  If you give this book a try, I think you will like the results as much as I do!
