The second quilt I ever made. The Charm Pack quilt from Freckled Whimsy. I made the top back in February/March of this year but never got around to quilting it. I just recently quilted it a couple of weeks ago and I really love it.
There is a variety of ways the blocks can be put together for this quilt but I liked the assymetry of this combination.
I quilted multiple rows down the solid 'roads' and sets of three lines down the centers of the print fabrics.
Looking at it while I was quilting it, I could tell how much I've learned since putting this piece together. I apparently did not have a lot of concern about lining up points almost a year ago, but this design is very forgiving (one of my favorite things about it!). I used a basic dark brown print for the back but I wanted to incorporate one last block.
I did all straight line quilting as I only recently have started using FMQ. I also thought this design lent itself to straight line stitching a bit more than FMQ. I used two different fat quarter sets to create the top of this quilt, but I think one of my quilting guild members was right when she said it would make a great quilt for using up scraps.I think this quilt is going to be my 'curl up on the couch with a good book' quilt!

It reminds me of a maze. And it does look snuggly! Very pretty.

A fun quilt. I'm sure my grand kids would think they should use it as a race way! Love the added block on back, it's a serendipity!

Greetings from Hungary. I really like your quilt. Beautiful colors, and stitching. I love the asymmetrical patterns.
Great quilt. It is out of my normal choice for colors, but it is wonderful and i love the wandering trail of the lighter color!
Your quilt is beautiful and the pattern is awesome!
