Free Charm Pack Quilt Pattern - Splashdown Quilt by Christina Cameli and Blockheads 2020, Block 27

Beautiful things do come in small packages

While I of course absolutely love creating my own patterns, it’s also so fun to see my fabrics brought to life with someone else’s wonderful creativity. This week I’m featuring a beautiful small quilt by Christina Cameli called the the Splashdown quilt. Christina designed this free pattern to feature her fabric collection with Maywood fabrics, and it is a really fun project to sew ending up at 40x40 inches in size.

In her pattern Christina mostly uses half-square triangles, and for the corners she has a kind of flying geese design that you’ll learn the trick to with the pattern instructions. She even provides a free blank layout sheet so you can experiment with which fabrics and colors you’d like to use and where.

In our example we used the new CHILL collection, and to sew this quilt all you’ll need is a Charm Pack and some background fabric. Again, this is a very fun quilt to sew, and it also makes a fabulous table runner.

This quilt was sewn for me by Ulrike Brauns, find her on Instagram @ulrike_brauns

FREE QUILT ALONG BLOCKHEADS 2020
BLOCK #27
THE PROPOSAL

Here we are in the second half of Moda Blockheads 2020 already… We’ve seen so many unique and beautiful block designs so far, and we still have many more to come! If you’re just learning about Moda Blockheads, each week we share a free block pattern designed by a Moda designer. You can create your own unique sampler quilt or come up with any number of projects using these creative designs.

To see what others are doing and to join our wonderful community, be sure to visit our our thriving Facebook community – it’s where we get to see all the wonderful blocks that are shared and catch glimpses of the sampler quilts and other projects that are coming together. Be sure to share yours with us, and you can also share your blocks on Instagram using the hashtags #modablockheads and #modablockheads3.

And, it’s never too late to join in! Be sure to check out this post to find out what fabrics you’ll need to get started creating your own unique sampler quilt using free block patterns from Moda designers each week. You can also go back through the last few months here on the Zen Chic blog to see all the blocks that have been shared so far, or even check out Blockheads 2, our last round of Moda Blockheads. The new friendships and inspiration that come with this quilting adventure are the best part!

This week brings us a block from a Moda designer who’s designs I just love, Jen Kingwell. She makes everything by hand – can you believe so many large, beautiful quilts sewn by hand? There must be hours and hours that go into these masterpieces. Do enjoy spending some time checking out Jen’s designs and have fun with this week’s block, The Proposal. I can’t wait to see all the unique interpretations of this wonderful design!

When you keep making quilts, you keep ending up with lots of scraps. If you have only a handful of them, then these pincushions are cute, easy, and quick items to make. I found a free YouTube tutorial on how to make them. These pincushions are great to have in your own sewing space or to give away to quilting and sewing friends. You can even use the tutorial to make pumpkins to decorate your home for fall season.
