Simply Squares

This is a quilt I made for Tiny Stitches. I just finished up the binding a few minutes ago. It uses 4 charm packs from Marti Michell's new fabric line called Ramblin' Rose. Then just a small inner border and a 5 inch outer border. Very quick and easy quilt.

The pattern I used is called Simply Squares. You sew the charms together in a straight set and then two cuts are made, sewing the pieces back together and resulting in a quilt set on point.


I quilted the quilt with a panto called Rosie and used cotton thread in a wonderful color called Latte. It was wonderful to do a quick quilting project after having the raffle quilt on my machine for such a long time - about five weeks.

  4. Your "Simply Squares" quilt is pretty. I like the fabrics and the quilting. I didn't see the rambling rose charm packs when I was in Tiny Stitches last Thursday. I was looking for charm packs just because I like them. I did get fabric for the borders for the Santas and Snowmen top I worked on at retreat.

  5. This is really pretty for such a simple pattern and I like the idea of piecing it in a straight set and ending up with it on point. Where did you find the pattern? I'd like to read about the technique.
