B to P II Charming Thursday

For those of you that are not KT fanatics, BtoPII is Bound to the Prairie II, the follow-up to the original BtoP from last week's Charming Thursday. I'd love to bring back several of the prints in this collection for a KT Fav line someday. What do you think???


BtoPII was created as a companion line to BtoP for the BOM in the QJ series. (That's quilt-speak for block-of-the-month in the Quilter's Journal series - don't ya just love all the abbreviations? Kinda like being in the CIA, FBI, M-O-U-S-E). Together, these two fabric groups have just about everything I could want in a scrappy quilt - florals, stars, checks and tone-on-tones - perfect, if I do say so myself. Here's a project using a print charm pack, a plaid charm pack and a wool charm pack (Moda made 8 wools to match my fabric for the applique on the BtoP quilt), soon to be a single pattern.



Charming Churn Dash is already one of our new KT Classic Charms - it works well with most charm packs since there are always more darks than lights. And who doesn't need another table runner?



Leave a comment to win the BtoP charm pack by Sunday night at 10pm. Watch for the winner right here Monday morning.
Lynne

    My favorites are the red, green and dark blue ( diagonal tic tac toe). I also like the lightest of the cream. I love how your different fabric lines work together. Any chance of some stripes?

    I am just now teaching myself to quilt. I am currently working on a project using Wildflower Serenade II. I tend to like the more scrappy quilts because that's all our foremothers had---scraps! I suppose I'm too late getting into this quilting gig to find Bound to the Prairie II in stores anywhere. Beautiful colors! I can just imagine having them wrapped around me on a cold Kansas winter night. (Hubby is from South Dakota and likes in COLD in the house). I love your line of fabrics and that's what I started teaching myself to quilt...I fell in love with your fabrics when I accompanied a friend into a quilt store! I would be thrilled beyond words if I won this charm pack. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

    The appliqued project is wonderful. I love how you've used the plaids - so many people are afraid because of the lines but I love them (could be my Scottish heritage). The table runner is really great, especially for new quilters. Would love to win the BtoP charm pack - thanks for the opportunity. Love how all the different collections can be intermingled. Your choice of colors is wonderful!
