    OMG you haven't lived until you get a design wall! I love mine. Handy Hubby helped me with mine, he's got to be good for something (other than impregnating me with five Rugrats! ) I have a few charm packs kicking around, thinking of pinching your idea! I have never made me anything on point. Think I will give it a try, Thanks for th inspiration. Looking forfard to hearing bout your trip to the U S !!

    Noice. I have a design floor….. Have fun in the US! Say hi to Julie for me 🙂

  9. What a great idea to put the charms on point! I think it is more than vomit and poop worthy 😉 haha Have a wonderful time in the US, wish I was closer so I could come visit!

  10. Sometimes a quickie is all that's needed! Love the quilt!

    Yup, you nailed it. I think you may need to invest in those fancy name tapes, wonder if they make them sparkly? Have a great time in California, I sure miss that area. Give Jules a big hug for me!

  12. I read so few blogs where I literally laugh out loud whilst reading! Great job using those Charm Packs that sit on the shelf and call to us – either in the shop or in the stash! Happy Friday!

  13. LOL! Great way to use a charm pack — love it on point! And there's nothing wrong with quick and easy. 😉

  14. Simple patterns are great for baby quilts. The on point layout adds a little something extra to the design! The bold backing is great. I went through an excessive precut buying phase when I started sewing. This quilt inspires me to use some of them!

    I am amazed at how much more interesting charm squares are on point than horizontal. This set worked better together than some sets do–but of course, it was all in your placement of them, right?

  16. Kris says:

    Great job…simply made and sure to be loved!

    Duh, why do I never thing to effectively stick these things on point?! Looks great

    Love it. What a great baby quilt. Have a great trip!

    You make babies sound so adorable. Have a great trip, and how about a roll up design wall that you can hide under a curtain or something?

  20. Thank you for linking up to TGIFF – fabulous finish!

  21. You've done it again! Simple, lovely and so perfect for a lucky baby! Have fun with Julie…wish I could join you in California!

  22. I have a design-spare-mattress-leaning-up-against-a-wall … classy, I know …

  23. What a great boy quilt! I'll have to try on point net time I'm doing something like this – a nice change up : )

  24. Temporary design wall: one 1×4 @ desired length. Take a sheet of batting and wrap one end of it around the board, leaving ~2" of each end of board free. Staple batting to board. Attach two screw eye hooks in exposed board (on the 1" side, not the 4" side). Insert two plant hangers/hooks in your ceiling but close to the wall the same width apart as the eye hooks on the board. Hang the design wall from ceiling when in use, take down and roll batting around the board when you need to put it away. It will store easily under a bed or even vertically behind a door.

    A master German quilter in her eighties told me this trick when I complained about living in an apartment with not enough space. Good luck!

  25. That looks like the perfect sort of baby quilt to me! Lovely fabric additions to the stash!!
