When we're talking about my joy????<br />I have another mini charm pack of a different fabric line, so I'm definitley storing all these good ideas for that project too :-)<br />EErin Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733465690557189717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958893819922936787.post-38152529763868016612013-10-19T20:08:19.035+10:002013-10-19T20:08:19.035+10:00At first glance I would go a plain panel with embr...At first glance I would go a plain panel with embroidery or appique on it surrounded by a mini charm border OR, I would buy more charms and do a full mini charm quilt. if it helps to justify it better - buy 10 then another 10! <br />Carhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412323070595507627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958893819922936787.post-16251815953254958092013-10-18T21:42:13.657+10:002013-10-18T21:42:13.657+10:00Such gorgeous fabrics.

There's a quilt in the liberty love book that would work great with your tiny squares, it's basically a giant nine patch with every alternate square being made of of smaller squares. it looks really fab and so easy! If you're interested I'll try and find a link, or I can photograph my book and email you a picture...QuiltCandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718273515863474687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958893819922936787.post-19793564558015597032013-10-18T18:58:01.171+10:002013-10-18T18:58:01.171+10:00Ha ha, I'm hopeless with white too but, like &...Ha ha, I'm hopeless with white too but, like 'heart of charnwood' says below, you can use a different colour. :)<br /><br />I'm sure whatever you do will be fab!Erin @ Once Upon a Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732374082004468403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958893819922936787.post-51858563848458194092013-10-18T15:45:53.256+10:002013-10-18T15:45:53.256+10:00I think no matter what (even if I don't go a w...I think no matter what (even if I don't go a whole quilt) I want more charms.

But how cute would it be!!!!!<br />I've checked out your pins (and followed your fab boards) and I like number 3 the best, with the strip of solid surrounding the stip of patches before it goes pure white... But I'm messy and if I have a mostly white quilt it will get gross pretty quick. It would be a quick simple finish though... Quicker, cheaper, less mathmatical all these are very tempting :-)<br />E xxErin Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733465690557189717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958893819922936787.post-58750250889495091772013-10-17T17:36:19.653+10:002013-10-17T17:36:19.653+10:00Oh, they are soooo pretty!

It would look brilliant all over but, honestly, if you want a bigger quilt, I'd go the cheaper/quicker/easier/less mathematical option and mix it in with a solid (so, lots of negative space). Either with a strip from top to bottom (like this - http://www.pinterest.com/pin/48061920995230880/ or this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/48061920996807315/ or this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/48061920995239278/) OR with a feature panel towards one corner (like this - http://www.pinterest.com/pin/48061920994609732/). But maybe I'm just lazy. ;)Erin @ Once Upon a Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732374082004468403noreply@blogger.com
