Happy February! It's hard to believe how quickly this month is flying by!
Here's a quick little project that you can stitch up this weekend, just in time for Valentine's Day.
This sweet mini charm pack friendly quilt made its first appearance as a Moda Bake Shop tutorial. It was originally called Christmas Candy and featured pretty embroidered poinsettias and vines.
It was such a fast and easy project, not to mention a great way to use a mini charm pack, that I decided to make a Halloween version, this time finished as a pillow.
Not content to stop there, I made another mini quilt version —this time for spring.
And now at long last, I've made a Valentine's Day version. Don't have a mini charm pack on hand for this weekend? No worries! I made this little quilt with 2½" squares that I cut from my stash—no shopping required. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but it is possible. 😂
I've written up a quick pattern that applies to all of the "Candy" projects. The pattern includes instructions for finishing the project either as a mini quilt or as a pillow. Here's the link:

It's been a bit, but I had so much fun making the cozy blocks for the Bundle Up Quilt-Along, that after the holidays I kept on making them! I turned all of those extra blocks into a row style oversized lap quilt—call it Bundle Up 2.0. This quilt was so much fun to make with lots of opportunity to incorporate more color (pink!) and extra prints—and at 69" x 74", it's the perfect size to actually bundle up with!
The updated Bundle Up pattern, including fabric requirements, cutting instructions and directions for both the Quilt-Along wall hanging and the lap quilt version, is available for download in my Etsy shop. And don't worry, if you've already purchased the original Bundle Up pattern, I'll be emailing the updated version directly to you at no extra cost. Woohoo!
Phew! After several months, I think I've finally gotten the winter quilts out of my system. Time to move on to spring! I'll be back here in March with a new project and I promise, no chambray!
Thank you so much for your continued support! 🩷🩷🩷
