I just finished this quilt -- I've been hoarding a charm pack of Fresh Air by Chez Moi, for Moda for a few years now. The batik brown and beige are from my stash. The pattern is an adaptation of Chain Link (I purchased the pattern from a blogger, but after reading directions, I decided to make it with strip piecing, as that's my preferred method. I also set the blocks differently from the original pattern.)

The quilting is just a loose stipple with a variegated thread by sulky. It was fast and easy to fmq. This one is going in our TV room.

Oh, I like it. Love the fabrics but really like the open feeling the light fabric creates.

Great way to show off fabrics. Great combos.

Beautiful quilt. Love the fabrics and pattern! :thumbup:

Thanks, I think I will "steal" this idea for a charm pack that I have :-)

Terrific way to show off a collection of fabric.
I might steal the idea too.

I like it. I have never seen that pattern before. I like your meandering. It is very curvatious.

Very pretty.

I love it - if I look at it one way, the cream chains are dominant then if I shift my gaze, the browns spring to the front. Cool! :thumbup:

Wonderful and I'm with you chain piecing is the best.

Looks great.

Very pretty! Would put it on my list of ones to make, but I need to live to be at least 250 to make the ones on there now!

Thanks all, for the kind words.

I agree that it's a nice way to showcase charm squares. I think it works best with fabrics in a midrange -- allows for contrast with both the light and the dark of the setting strips. This truly is a quick quilt to put together -- perfect for gift giving. Two charm packs makes a generous throw size.

That's really lovely, the pattern is so effective :D

Love it!! Nice use of color.

It's very pretty. Great use of fabrics.

What a wonderful quilt! You really showcased the patterned fabrics in an interesting way.

Very pretty quilt
