Decisions! Decisions!

Last week (on holiday) I had planned to get stuck into a gorgeous bespoke charm pack I won some time ago from Pickle Dish.


I wanted to do v.little to these cute squares, and thought about a stacked coin style design.

But then I got to thinking (oh no!) that these colours would look really good in my bedroom, and I have a large & long space on a wall which is crying out for a quilt.

So to fill this space on my wall I've added a few more squares from my stash, 


cut up an endless number of white hsts, 


and the plan is now to make a flying geese style quilt, similar in style to this one.

From Red Pepper Quilts
Problem is, I can't bring myself to cut into the charm squares in case I change my mind again!!!  I just need to take a deep breath and go for it!

I also don't know what to call this quilt, so I may run a wee Naming competition/giveaway - watch this space!

The cutting that I did manage to do yesterday, was for the Across the Sea QAL.


What a lot of squares and rectangles - so glad I only signed up for the cot size quilt!

Have a fab Thursday, whatever you get up to!

  3. Oh those charms are gorgeous - I totally understand your wavering!
    I spotted an Oh Fransson pattern in today's post this morning which I think will become my 'go to' don't want to cut too much quilt!

  4. I love your charm squares - such gorgeous colours! I think your choice of project is perfect - it'll really showcase the fabrics and you can have hours of fun rearranging the FG!

  5. So much quilting activity and such luscious fabrics!! I can see how it would be hard to cut into them. Perhaps just hang a photo of your picks on the wall? Nah... a real quilt would be better. I have always loved Flying Geese-- good choice! The colors in your photos are wonderful! Looking forward to seeing how your projects evolve!

  9. That colour combination is fantastic, I spy a favourite fabric of mine in there - the purple with the little bicycles - so cute! I am having a similar dilemma with a charm pack of 'Sherbet Pips', to cut or not to cut?

  10. I think that's a perfect choice of project for those charms! Space around each print to show it off and a reasonably large chunk of fabric so you don't lose the design. Go for it! x

  13. I sure understand wanting to save the beautiful fabric and worrying about the perfect project but then they are hiding on the shelf. I say, cut them and make your quilt, it will be beautiful!
