Cherries Jubilee Charms


Yes, more charms - are you sick of hearing about my charms? LOL You might remember when I "had" to have Moda's Cherries Jubilee fabric. I searched high and low and was so excited when I found four charm packs and approx 30 fat quarters. I thought I knew exactly what I was going to do with those fabrics but then hesitated. I kept it all in plain view in my sewing room so I could think. (surely, you're hearing the Jeopardy tune right about now???) LOL I've been thinking and thinking - look at my nine patch variation block that I'm making with the charm packs (each block takes two charms). I have a setting in mind but I need to make a bunch of blocks first. I hope you can enlarge the picture and see my white tone-on-tone - it's CHERRIES. Guess what???? I found almost five yards of it in my stash! Color me Happy! teehee.

Of course you had to have cherries on your background. It will be a bright and cherrie quilt.

No I'm not sick of hearing about your charms. I LOVE what you've been doing with your charm packs. You make me want to run out and pick up a bunch. Unfortunately I'm on no-buy this month but I guess I could always cut charm packs from my stash....
