Simply Charming Quilt Along

 
 
 
Okay, so I started the Simply Charming Quilt-Along from Kindred Quilts blog!  We each made a quilt from Tara Lynn Darr's first book, Simply Charming.  I had ordered the book, but hadn't received it and I was just chomping at the bit to get started, so I totally copied Kathy's from the picture she posted!  Sorry, but I loved it and wanted to get one done.
 
I used shirtings for the background and different dark and medium scraps for the squares.  I didn't have a pattern, therefore I winged it so it would fit my 12 x 14" frame and I love it!  (I used 1/8 in. seams and didn't love that!)  I have many ideas of what I want to do for the next one, just haven't narrowed it down yet.  Anyway, you can join or follow along with us here.
