Prayer Quilt

As promised, a quilt made using charms. ONE charm pack, believe it or not. I used charms from Moda's Blush line, and the background (and backing) is a solid grey fabric.



Once I had the pattern in my head, the whole quilt came together easily enough. And, I have to say I had real fun quilting this one. I experimented with different quilt designs on this top, and had a mixture of stipple and straight lines.



The quilting is more apparent from the back, as you can see. Far from perfect though...





Because only one charm pack was used, the resulting quilt is rather small (about 2.5 feet X 3.5 feet). On the upside, its a perfectly sized prayer rug.


Of course,  a bigger quilt can always be achieved by adding more charms into the pattern.

What can you make out of a charm pack?

MamaDaniel, you're too kind! But I have to say my FMQ still has a looong way to go... any tips?
The grey fabric is not Moda, but Nagoya, heeheh.
That reminds me, if you're in KL, Cottage Patch at Ampang has got a sale going on this month - all fabric is 20% off - so is good time to stock up on stash!
