The charms are Summer Breeze,all but about 5, I had to add from my stash. The white and solid blue is kona and white on white( not sure of brand). The center is all from my scrap stash. I can make any thing for a price!....LOL

Hi Lea,
The quilt looks fabulous! I love it!
I also have had the bad experience of chalk ...I learned something. You can use colored chalk on any fabric and it washes out...however if you use white thread it will permenently dye the white thread. Because of the process of thread they bleach all white thread ( all brands) it makes that thread very porous and readily able to soak up the colored chalk. So it doesn't come out. I learned the hard way myself.

Hummm....never heard that. Its in the fabric and the thread. The fabric is Kona, and the thread is Visafil. I didn't have white chalk so I used the yellow. On lighter fabrics I use the water soluble makers with no problems. ...sigh... at least it looks good from a distance.
