Way back in 2010 I bought a quilt kit for Patchwork With Gail B (one of my favorite shops). It was my 3rd quilt, and turned out fabulous. (Click here to see my original post about that quilt).
Back last August, the shop had a big sale, and they even had those kits marked down! I couldn't resist - figured it would be a good one to send on to Inspirational Quilts (a great charity).
The quilt is made from Moda's "Faded Memories" charm squares:
And here's the prints that come in this pack.
Thee quilt consists of simple "snowball" blocks with a border.

I loved doing this quilt again. Even though there are over 500 pieces in the top, it was a fairly fast and satisfying project. And the fact that it was "fast" tickles me a lot, because I remember spending hours and hours on it way back in 2010. I guess I've come a long way in my 8 years of quilting - have learned a few things that reduces the amount of time it takes me to put a quilt together.
