Charming Chevrons Completed Top

I spent the day piecing the blocks together into pairs...then into rows...then into the finished top. I did take pictures of the blocks sewn up and into pairs & rows...but who wants to see that crap when you can see it finished! Isn't it purty? I'm working on the back right now. The light grey almost looks White, believe me it's a gorgeous light grey. If you want to make one, visit Christa Quilts to pick up a kit, she is offering 3 different versions!

Trimming Trimming Trimming...Gosh my hands hurt...

Holy soreness..my poor little hands. I was trimming and trimming to get all these blocks squared up. I'm so glad it's over! Here are some pretty little pictures I took though. Notice my little bowl filling up with each color stack. It probably ended up being like 1.5 Cups worth! Can't wait to start sewing them up tomorrow :)

Charming Chevrons

I decided it was finally time to make a Chevron Quilt. I've been meaning to start one for quite sometime but hadn't found the fabrics or style I wanted yet. After browsing around...I came across this...

Yep! That's the one!!! I'm in love with modern quilts & solids right now.  So I quickly ordered the kit over at Christa Quilts and now I'm plugging away! Plus...It happened to be 20% off AND I had coupon codes for even more of a discount. Can I say LOVE? Seriously! These colors are SOOO pretty in real life. They are seriously gorgeous! I'm loving the new Kona Cotton Color Pallet. Here's how my progress is looking so far...


(yes, I know it's Finish Friday and not WIP Wednesday. But I had to have something to blog about today!)

My charms all sewn up


All cut up

All ironed out (seriously gorgeous right?)

Now I have to trim each and every single one! AHH, there are 168 squares! Oh well, it's gotta get done...so off I go! See you later!

Happy quilting!
