Default Purple herringbone from charm swap

Last month some of us participated in a purple charm swap. I took 90 of the charms I received and paired them with 90 light background squares from my stash to make HST's. There are roughly 100 different fabrics in this. I never would have had that many without the swap. Thanks ladies!!
Saw a picture on Pinterest of this layout. It measures just under 48"x60" and is backed with a thrifted cotton sheet. I hand quilted big clamshells in a pale gray size 12 Perle cotton. Quick and easy to make!
