Charm Locked
Welcome to our Third project for 2023 - Charm Locked
If you're new here and just joining in, thankyou and welcome to a journey of completed quilts! Yes I say completed because the idea of this program is that the projects are so simple you can complete them in a day and you will actually finish something! Whilst also getting to indulge in beautiful fabrics - those charm packs and ranges of fabrics that you just cannot resist.
This project is simple, contemporary and oh so appropriate. You can make as I have or add borders to make it larger.
Quilt measures

You have landed on a special page for your eyes only.
Here you will choose which fabric line you love the most that we have curated for this project - we have several options and have tried to choose something to suit everyone's tastes. But there are only so many of each so first in gets the worm in this case. You will see how many are left as stock gets low of each so choose quickly.
Should you not choose, we will choose for you in one weeks time.
For this quilt you need your charm pack - two coordinating fabrics, which we've called Sashing 1 and Sashing 2 and a binding fabric. We've also selected some great widebacks to choose from. Note: if you choose a wideback it may also work for the binding using the leftovers)

Charm Locked
Quilt measures 45.5" x 49"
This is our seventh simple project - Charm locked - and includes two sashing fabrics.
This quilt requires two extra fabrics from your stash (plus backing and binding) or we've included our suggestions here. If you'd like it larger feel free to add some outer borders. Of course it could look very different in each charm pack style or layout option. And my full colour pattern will give you the quickest, simplest and most accurate methods and tips to make it.
Extra quilt requirements:
23” /60cm sashing 1 fabric
35“/88cm sashing 2 fabric
13”/33cm binding fabric
50” x 60“/1.25x1.5m batting and backing fabric
(allow 8" extra for a longarmer)
We have selected some Kona solids and Moda Grunge coordinating options to match each charm pack for the coordinating and binding fabrics. We used a Grunge Romance and Grunge natural for our sashings and a Red & white gatherings charm pack to make our sample. Our binding was the Grunge Romance fabric by Moda.
Add the extra fabric products to your cart below and then select the colour you'd like to match the charm pack you chose. Note: You just choose '1' for the amount.
Backing fabrics
We have chosen some backing fabrics that will work well with the charm packs. As they are all widebacks if you order 60" then there will be plenty for a commercial quilter as well. If quilting yourself then 50" will be enough. You can order any of our widebacks by the 10" increment. (select 6 for 60")
Remember, when you checkout you will automatically get a one time offered 10% discount on these items and no further shipping will be charged.
