Charm quilt: A charm quilt is typically a one patch quilt where no fabric is used more than once.
THEREFORE:
This is a Charm Quilt. (Magic Carpet)
I feel charming...
This is a Charm Quilt. (Fifty-Eight Carats)
Oh so charming...
This is a Charm Quilt. (Geode)
It's alarming how charming I feel...
All three of these quilts are made with one block (in this case a large diamond) and in each of them, each fabric is used only once.
I love nothing more than strictly adhering to a rule and blasting it to smithereens at the same time.
Sadly, I have been asked if there are patterns for each of these quilts. (Cut large diamonds from 58-65 large prints and then arrange them as desired.)
Yeah, no pattern. Sorry folks.
Sorry, not sorry.

There couldn't be a pattern because what makes the quilt amazing is the way you combine fabrics. If it were made of solids it would be interesting but not breathtaking. What I love about it is your style. Please keep doing you and please let the rest of us drool over your quilts.
ReplyDeleteLike stitchinpenny said . . . (great post BTW)
ReplyDeleteThe pattern would have to start out with : Go fabric shopping for many years. Cut one piece (your desired shape) from each fabric. How many would continue?
ReplyDeleteI think you did just give the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if those asking for a pattern are wondering more along the lines of how many diamonds to make a certain size of quilt?
Many are thinking "Please don't make me do math!!" LOL...
ReplyDeleteYou did another great job!!! I love this.
ReplyDeleteStunning - all three!!
