A few weeks ago I was contacted by Moda Lissa (isn't that the BEST blog name ever?) about being a contributor to the Moda Bake Shop blog. Would I be interested?
Um, YES, PLEASE!!!
(Nancy, can you imagine my excitement over this?) I have been a long time fan of Moda fabric-ever since I discovered it about 7 years ago, I suppose. Being asked to design projects for their blog sent me over the moon. :)
My first project, as you can see, is a simple baby quilt using charm squares. From start to finish this quilt took me just two days. It's the perfect project for a last minute baby gift.
So, go check out the Moda Bake Shop. There are plenty of cute projects designed just for your pre-cut fabrics!
wow - what an honor! Great quilt & wonderful tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI saw it already...and said to myself, how did she get to post on there? Congrats - that's super exciting!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations to you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How wonderful. And a great quilt, too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Love the baby quilt.
ReplyDeletelove the colors you picked!
ReplyDeletecongradulations!! that is super exciting, and love your stacked coin quilt. i love using charm packs for the coins, they make it so much faster. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw your quilt on Moda's blog. I had one question. It said to cut the charms in half and it seemed like there were a lot more 1/2 pieces than would be available when using 2 charm packs. Did I misunderstand something?
ReplyDeleteI saw that on Moda Bake Shop just a while ago and was so excited for you!!!! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! How exciting :) I made a quilt just like this a couple weeks ago... same fabric and everything. I love that fabric line!

YEAH! congrats! (wish me luck on monday!)
ReplyDeleteIt turned out FABULOUS!!! Great job once again!:)
ReplyDeletemelinda,
ReplyDeleteif you use 2 charm packs (36 in each) you will have 72 charms. if you cut those each in half you should end up with 144 rectangles.
hope that helps!

Congratulations! Can I ask why you iron your seams all to the white? I am sure that there is a reason and I would like to understand it!
ReplyDeleteamy,
ReplyDeletei pressed toward the white because it will lay flat more easily. if you ironed it toward the coin strips, you would have all the bulk of the seams to deal with. does that make sense?
aj
Thank you for such beautiful inspiration! And congratulations!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! I will be making this one.... we'll just add it to my ever growing list of projects ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! It looks great :)
ReplyDeleteyou are sooo lucky!! i just went and took a peak. you did a great job and it is such a cute quilt too!
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty. I know my sister is going to love this! She has lots of charm packs. I'd like to put a link for this tutorial on our blog if that would be okay. Linda

ReplyDeletehugs

Thanks for the tutorial & the new blog...
ReplyDeleteHow do you know how many charm packs to buy?
I usually only get one...
Congratulations, AmandaJean! Now even more people will be able to appreciate your wonderful quilts!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your blog is one I check everyday..you are so talented and provide inspiration daily. This will be my first quilt, and I want to make it bigger...should I just add extra strips with more blocks?
ReplyDeleteWay to go! And I love that baby quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour tutorial looks do-able, even for me. (Well, except for the quilting part.) Makes me want to have another baby. Almost.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, again, on your new project.
Truly an honor, and a well-deserved one. I'm so proud of you - both for being asked and for coming up with such a sweet quilt for the project.
ReplyDeletesusan,
ReplyDeleteyes, you certainly can make the quilt bigger by adding more blocks and more strips.
aj
Darling quilt. Love the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the invitation to feature this @ the MBS. You are very inspirational.
CONGRATS TO YOU!!
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing tutorial, another one that makes me want to stop whatever I am doing and create it!
You are the best,
Jane
Congratulations and love this quilt!! Great tutorial... thank you!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That's wonderful as your tutorials are expertly done. I love using charms now so definitely want to do this quilt. And yours is beautiful as usual!
ReplyDeletePerfect as always-So happy and "Springy" Thanks for sharing. I'll def. have to try one of these.
ReplyDeleteHey! I love your blog and I've already tried several projects. I'd like to try this quilt without using a charm pack. Can you tell me how big an individual charm is? I'm new to this quilting stuff and it's easier to ask you than to find out on my own. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAnother great project by you... I love it! You're just the greatest AJ... it's NO surprise you were asked to contribute there! Oh happy day!!! xoxom
ReplyDeleteCongrats Amanda!!!! Love the baby quilt!
ReplyDeletethe pooly tribe,
ReplyDeletea charm measures 5" square.

AmandaJean,
ReplyDeleteTHat is so awesome! I am so happy for you because you write such amazingly wonderful tutorials! You really deserve this honor. I hope you will become a regular contributer to their site. Congrats and how cool is it that now I feel like I know one of the designers!
Anna
Congratulations!! I went over, had a look and their site is lovely and I'm so happy you are part of it. Awesome quilt, very proud of you! Your blog is so very inspiring and I thank you for taking the time with the tutorials and sharing your gift. Blessings, Heather
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love the tutorials that you create.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Its a beautiful project and a nicely done tutorial. Can't wait to try it out! =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love everything you do and you would be a perfect addition to Moda. I love their fabrics & their website and habe been a subscriber to it since August. Can't wait to see more tutorials on your work!
ReplyDeleteHEy, lucky girl!! I can image how happy you felt ! Thanks a lot for your tuto , I have to try !
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt and a great tutorial! Even though I have been in No-Buy mode for nearly 3 years now, I just HAD to order these fabrics so I could make the quilt.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more of you on Moda Bake Shop.
Very cool! I LOVE Moda fabric too. It is my absolute favorite. I looked at that website...very neat!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and thing it is a fabulous way to use charm packs. I do have one question, though, about the step that says to wash and dry once the quilt is finished. Is there a chance that the fabrics will bleed on each other or the white sashing? Thanks in advance for your response. kelley from kentucky
ReplyDeleteGreat job, congrats!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, I can't wait to try it. Thanks again for your inpiration.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!It's just awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe baby quilt is so cute. Thank you for the lovley tutorial :D
Thanks for the tutorial, I believe I've just found my next project.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the tutorial. I've got a slew of baby quilts to make this year and this is so going on my list! :) And thanks for pointing the way to the Moda Bake Shop. I cannot believe I didn't even know it existed. Fabulous!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Amanda. I am so proud of you. Remember how long it took you to cut into your first package of Moda fabrics? Enjoy being part of the team.
ReplyDeletethis is brilliant. Began to cut out squares for a blanket as my first ever quilting project but put it all aside as I was completely stumped. At the time I was 8 months pregnant and really thought I'd have a baby blanket done by the time our little one came. She's nearly a week old now and still the squares are in the cupboard awaiting my attention. Now I can actually make headway thanks to your tutorial. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the Moda Bake Shop piece. It is great! Please don't stop blogging! I am a avid fan of your quilting style and love the work you do and the advice you give. I have learned a lot from your blog and it has inspired me greatly! Diane
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Amanda Jean. I love the quilt. I was so excited when I saw it was you who had made the quilt and the tutorial. What an honor for you!
