Using a 9 patch pattern from the Moda Bakeshop courtesy of Jera at Quilting in the Rain - I used Kate Spain's Good Fortune charm packs, Kona Ash and a dimple dot minky (some post it as silver - but it's light grey).
14 blocks, trimmed to 12" square. Sashing between blocks was cut either 4.5" or 1.5". I used the center row as the longest row and cut everything else to fit (my years doing magazine paste up finally paid off!).
I bought 2.5 yards of minky for the back to be sure and had a little left over. Gutterman #102 sew all thread quilted the cotton top, muslin middle and minky back. Spray basting and pinning, the hardest part was straight line stitching since my walking foot only has a guide for the right - so the entire quilt had to go into the throat of the sewing machine - it was slippery and tight - but the end result was worth it. October 2013 54" wide by 66" long.
Very pretty! Have loved looking at your quilts. This may be my favorite so far-
