Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

2015 Quilts, charms · June 30, 2015

A Little Patriotic Project

I received a charm pack of Moda’s Red, White and Free fabric as a gift and had been thinking about how to use it when I came across a tutorial using charms to make chevrons.  I had used this particular technique in the past but shied away from it because all the outside edges of the half-square triangles end up on the bias.  I’m happy to report that it worked great for this little wallhanging and didn’t take any time at all to finish it.

The tutorial I used was Herringbone Pillow Cover by Lauren Terry for Moda Bake Shop.  It was fine for a small project but I think you might have to be more careful with a larger quilt so the outside edges don’t stretch.  I have some more charm packs that would make nice chevron quilts so I’ll probably try it for a lap size.

There are some patriotic charms left over and I’m working on another project that is not as quick and easy as this one.  Hoping to find some time to finish it before the 4th!

    I went to see why you had bias edges, and I do see that if you did your HST with that method, you would have – unless you cut bias squares initially, but store-bought charm squares don’t come that way. I never do mine this way. I don’t like bias edges on the outside. Even so, this is a great, and very timely, seasonal wall hanging. I love the way you mixed the colors. Thanks for sharing the photo.
