Layers of Charm {Free Pattern}

Kimberly and her fabulous staff from the Fat Quarter Shop have brought us another new shortcut pattern...for free!!


I had to conceal my eager excitement to be contacted by the Fat Quarter Shop when they asked me if I would make a quilt from their new pattern.  I love all the shortcut patterns and have made three quilts from their Simply Fat Quarters book!

Kiss Kiss by Abi Hall and Moda Black Bella Solid

Since Valentine's Day was around the corner and I have always wanted to make one, I chose to make my quilt using Kiss Kiss by Abi Hall layer cake and a Black Bella Solids Charm Pack from Moda Fabrics.
Measures approx 58" square

I LOVE this quilt.  Simple to make.  Quick to finish.  SO much impact.


Button loves it too!
He epitomizes layers of charm, doesn't he?

I machine quilted it with a pantograph on Ole Betsy with the Love Doodle pattern by Patricia Ritter of Urban Elementz


 Kiss Kiss Aqua Hearts Galore for the backing and Kiss Kiss Black Dots for the binding...a very rare thing for me to use an entire line for everything. But I love how the pink had more salmon tones and the teal just popped here and there!


I have been trying to contain my excitement for a while and gave teeny tiny peeks on Instagram.  I'm still so excited about this pattern that I would love for you to make one too!


Layers of Charm Free Pattern is available here.
Layers of Charm YouTube Video is available here.

 I think this Riley Blake Fox Trails by Doohikey Designs layer cake would make an adorable quilt with the Layers of Charm pattern.  All you need add is a charm pack and you have a great quilt!

    Love your quilt! How very Valentine's <3 And that camping fabric is awesome - with some brights like orange and blue, backed in flannel, it would make a great one for cool nights under the stars!

    So many possibilities. Probably one of the bright colors to coordinate with the fabric. Like the pretty blue.

    I think I'd do a green or blue charm pack [or maybe step outside the solids and do a green/orange/blue pattern] with that layer cake! LOVE your quilt and your model!

    I'd go with teal and the dark yellow. I am not an orange fan and there is already enough brown! I love the hearts on the back and the black dot binding! Just makes it all come together and juump out!

    I love how your project turned out! I never would have thought to make a valentine's quilt, but you've definitely made me reconsider that. As for the layer cake you're giving away, I'd go with an orange solid charm pack, mainly because it's my favorite color. But my second choice would be the teal color. Thanks for the giveaway!

  28. Vicki HFebruary 9, 2015 at 8:23 PM

    Ooooh! There are quite a few baby boys headed our way in the coming months (including our own), so this layer cake would make a perfect baby boy quilt. I would use a charm pack to match the teal, definitely, and it would be FABULOUS! I love your version of the Layers of Charm quilt, and yes... Button epitomizes Layers of Charm! Lovely photos :)

    I think alternating solids of orange and yellow charms would be great with this to make a quarter-square triangle with both colors alternating in the diamonds.

    Love your quilt!
