This is made with the 10-minute quilt block using 5" charms. Each block is 8.5 inches and the sashing is 1.5. It still gets a red border and a wider black border. The sashing took me almost 3 times longer to do than all of the blocks did. Two charm packs of 42 each gave me 20 blocks. I have not measured it yet, but it is a good size lap quilt. Each block has ONLY 3, yes, 3 seams. No joke. It is so simple and fun.It will finish at 52" x 68". Not bad for a days work and then only between customers, and yes, it was busy yesterday.

Wow, great job! Love the way the charm squares turned out in this block design!

Very nice. Yes, I loved Deb's instructions and immediately made several blocks to see how it would turn out. Then come Guild day, I took them as my show-n-tell. A couple others took my examples and what fun we all are having. Thanks again, Deb.

Thank you all so much. I felt if I am going to make some quilts for Japan, I wanted them easy but sophisticated. I think 3 like this will be my contribution. But, I really love this quilt, will be hard to send overseas.LOL

Wow! I need to try the 10 Minute Block. Beautiful quilt. Love the way you used the white for sashing. Makes the blocks pop!

I really have to try this! :)

nativetexan 08-09-2011 08:40 AM

I did that too, used 5 inch charms. it's more difficult to get that inserted one flat in the seam but you did a wonderful job. it's a lovely quilt!!

klarina 08-09-2011 09:46 AM

Great job.
