My daughter sent me your blog as I am...Hi Courtney,<br />My daughter sent me your blog as I am a quilter and she thought I might have some advice. I do. The friend who mentioned the fusible interfacing is on the right track - it's cheap and easy. You'll cut out your squares, lay them on the grid that's printed on the fusible interfacing, iron to activate the glue, and then fold and sew long seams in one direction and then the other - perfect corners are the result and you'll have plenty of time to "play" with your design before you iron. Some local fabric stores carry the gridded fusible or you order it online from QuiltSmart (I'm not affiliated with them)- they have the grids available for $4.25 a yard in a variety of sizes (even some on point). Here's a link to the 2" size that might work well for your charm squares: http://www.quiltsmart.com/khxc/index.php?app=ccp0&ns=prodshow&ref=interfacing_water Good luck to you!

So I think I've got something for you. ...Okay. So I think I've got something for you. There is an online pattern generator that takes a picture, and turns it into a quilt pattern. Wicked awesome, yes? I used it here (http://www.greatmanythings.com/2013/12/christmas-quilt-reveal-bono-in-house.html) to make a quilt of Bono's face. You can change how many colors you want to use, how many squares, etc., and it will make a more or less detailed pattern. You would then decide how big each square would be, and work up to see how much fabric/how big the finished quilt would be (you could work backwards, too). I emailed you the pattern that I made via all of this, but it should give you the link to do it too. Oh, and the ombre fabric is likely V & Co. (https://www.etsy.com/listing/259996300/in-stock-now-ombre-jelly-roll-by-v-and?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=v%20and%20co%20ombre%20jelly&ref=sc_gallery_1&plkey=ce85131fd5d4c115d7ff28424a28fee03cee5bb0:259996300) which is basically my favorite fabric ever.<br /><br />Best of luck! I can't wait, and I also love that quilt up top, too!Mariah Magagnottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401567842770059230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857022812381518619.post-16874694151209382252016-02-04T09:22:23.094-05:002016-02-04T09:22:23.094-05:00I love the photo too and have a possible solution ...I love the photo too and have a possible solution that may help?! I have stumbled across a fabric line recently that just came out. It's ombre solid colors! I think this might be the ticket, you could cut it in 2 1/2 in jelly roll type strip to get the varigated transitioning colors like the photo. Maybe even mixing in some of the solids you have too. Eh? I cannot remember where I saw this fabric but if it pops into my head I will let you know. I think it's a fun project and can't wait to see it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08671384855825722117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857022812381518619.post-52135667746887496252016-02-04T09:19:10.858-05:002016-02-04T09:19:10.858-05:00I love it!

Making a quilt is on my bucket list, and our local library is opening up a room with sewing machines, quilting machines, and other crafting machines to use for free, so that might actually make it possible for me! I love both inspiration pictures. Good luck! Could you do the pixelated one but use bigger squares?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276068014313939785noreply@blogger.com
