Presenting...

 The completed Lily and Will charm pack quilt.

 I had to patch the back but I think it looks cute that way.

 I quilted it in a smaller stipple and bound it in the light brown dot.

This quilt measures 38 X 42 and has a 80/20 batting.  It has been washed and dried on a delicate cycle.

It's in the shop.

Lily and Will Borders

 I started this morning by cutting 4 strips 2 inches wide.  I then measured the width of my quilt and cut  2 of the strips of  brown fabic to the same length.(Notice my new cutting mat, it was a Christmas present to myself)

 I sewed those strips to the top and the bottom of the quilt.  Then I pressed the seams down and this time measured the sides of the quilt and cut the last 2 strips of brown fabric to that length.

 I sewed the brown onto the sides and pressed   Now my inner border is finished.

 I then cut 4 strips of 5 1/2 inch wide pink plaid.  I measured the top and bottom of the quilt and cut 2 strips of plaid to that length.

 I pinned them very well and sewed the top and bottom and then pressed.

 Now it looks like this,  I measured the sides again and cut the last 2 strips of plaid to that length.  Then sewed them one to each side.

Here it is, all ready to be quilted. 

To answer Stacy's question from yesterday's comments.  I like to press the seams to opposite sides because when you lay the seams together they fit really well and lay down flat.  Some people prefer to press their seams open and that's alright too.

Lily And Will!

I started a Lily and Will charm pack quilt today.  I love this cute fabric collection by Bunny Hill Design for Moda.

I laid it out, running the same colors diagonally and then started sewing it into strips.

Most of the charm packs come with 42 5 inch squares.  This works out perfect for 6 rows, 7 blocks long.

Before sewing the strips together, I pressed the seams opposite from each other.

Then I placed the pins at a diagonal at each seam.  This will hold both top and bottom fabrics in place so the corners all match up.

Tomorrow I will add borders and it will be ready to quilt.
