This sweet baby quilt was made by Cheri. The pattern is Charm (and 10!) Squares by Elizabeth Hartman and it is a freebie.
Cheri provided a cuddle backing, so we used Quilter's Dream Puff batting and the Dainty panto. We used a lovely soft variegated thread that looked lovely with all the fabrics. Is is Fantastico #5024 - Opalescence.
I received this little pack of remnants of Moda "Wishes" fabric at a retreat last fall. I finally found the perfect project for them. I decided to make something just for me this wallet.
I found this great tutorial from the Confessions of a Fabriholic blog. I followed the tutorial pretty closely with two minor changes. I added a button instead of a snap for the closure on the tab, and instead of vinyl for the outer fabric, I decided to use a quilted layer.
I might seem a little crazy to quilt such a small piece on a big longarm, but why not? It was momentarily empty and ready to go. I didn't use a backing fabric I loaded the batting on the leaders and used a layer of cotton top.

The tutorial was great. I love the card slots, slip pockets and zippered pocket. It was very difficult to get the corners turned out nicely, but eventually I got the job done. It was a quick project and fun to do a little something just for me.
I like it! Can I send you my package and you start up a second business in your spare time.
