Charmed Squares Instructions – PDF for printing
My finished quilt
I used one Charm Pack, 2 yards of brown and 2.5 yards of blue – yardage for blue includes binding. CAUTION I was VERY careful about cutting and had very little fabric left over. If I was making this quilt again, I’d increase my yardage to 2.5 yards of the brown and 3 yards of the blue and toss any leftovers into the stash.
My quilt takes 63 blocks. I was fairly random when I was framing my blocks and yours does not have to be exactly like mine but the PDF instructions will show you what I did.
CAUTION: if you have directional prints pay attention to how you are orienting the centers in the framing rounds – you will be rotating all blue framed blocks as you assemble the top.

I definitely was interested in this quilt. I pretty much came up with the block measurements and your method for creating the double-framed blocks. It was nice to see your figures and diagrams that confirmed what I had come up with. Great way to use all those charm squares that I buy. Now to put them to use in a quilt.

Both daughters (quilters, also) gift their scraps to me, I make donation quilts for a reservation in South Dakota using their fabrics and mine. Have been doing Log Cabin or String patterns lately, this design will be a nice change. Thank you so much.
