Here is a Charm quilt that I did with my guild. We all brought in 30 4 in. blocks. and traded them among us. This is how mine came out.

:D

That was done all by hand.

Hand sewn! Oh my! Now that I've gone to a machine, my hands are so happy I can't imagine making something like that, I really love how you have a unique shape to your charms too, it adds a great visual appeal. How much did you check the lay out before you sewed them together? Or did you grab and sew? :D

How fun! Very nice!

Wow!!! I love a charm quilt-I am into scrappy. That is really neat-and so cool that you traded fabrics with your friends-that makes it even more special. And I cannot believe that it is hand sewn! How long did it take?

We were told to brown bag them and pull one out at a time.The shape is called a tumble shape (tumbling blocks). Took one year to do.

How neat and you couldn't put the fabric back either. Some people take scrap yarn and throw it all into a big black garbage bag and make an afghan the same way.

Love the pattern and the quilt.

Beautiful! I can't even imagine hand sewing a quilt. I have enough trouble getting things finished using the machine.

Will have to try that paper bag method. It certainly had good results for you.

Wow.... It is absolutely beautiful!!!!

your quilt is beautiful~ our guild is doing a swap also. However it really is'nt like a swap, more like a trade. everymonth we take in a 5'" square for everyone at the end of the year we will make a quilt.

I made a charm table runner, the only problem is I liked the material so much I wish I would have bought more.
