In this tutorial, we will be showing you how to cut your own charm squares for quilting (or anything else for that matter). Charm squares are 5' x 5' squares of fabric and are sold by the company Moda. They usually come in a pack of 42 squares and are coordinated so that you can easily use them in a project. However, other companies also make 'charm squares'...they just won't call them that since the name is already used by Moda. Either way, if you want to cut your own, then keep reading as we will show you step-by-step. Tools

In January, our guild had an “Out with the old” challenge, where we were to use up some of the oldest fabric in our stash. Back when I first started quilting (I think around 2006), I bought four packages of 100 floral 4″ charm squares on eBay. The person selling them was putting them up […]

I'm releasing my upcoming pattern, Snap Happy, on April 12th! The pattern features a Polaroid camera block (14" x 17") that is surrounded by charm square friendly photo blocks (6" x 7 1/2"). The baby size from the pattern is pictured below. Instead of using charm squares for the photo blocks in the baby version, I used charm square sized photos on fabric! Because the baby size Snap Happy quilt has 12 photo blocks, it's perfect for the monthly photos taken during a baby's first year. Speaking of, thank you to my friend, Haley, for letting me use her adorable son's first year photos for this sample! 💛 There are several options for getting photos printed on fabric. The option I'm giving a tutorial on today is using Adobe Photoshop. Don't have Photoshop? No worries! I'll share a couple other options at the very end of this post. HOW TO PRINT PHOTOS ON FABRIC USING PHOTOSHOP Something I recommend doing beforehand is cropping the photos you're printing so that they are square (1:1 ratio). This can be done with an app on your phone or in Photoshop. You'll resize the photos when adding them to the template (ie: make the photo smaller) so it's not necessary to do this beforehand. If you're photo is under 750 x 750 pixels (or 5" square), you will have issues with the quality of the print/image on the fabric. It will appear grainy or not as sharp looking. Just something to keep in mind if that matters to you! STEP 1: Download the Snap Happy Photo Template file HERE. STEP 2: Open the template file in Adobe Photoshop. This is what the file should look like on your screen. STEP 3: On the right hand side toward the bottom, select "Layer 1". Layer 1 represents the gray square in the top left corner of the template. STEP 4: Open the folder with the photos you want printed. Make sure it's minimized so you can still see Photoshop on your screen. STEP 5: Select one of the photos in the folder and drag and drop it over to the top left corner square. STEP 6: After you release the mouse button, the picture should be layered on top of the gray square in the top left corner, but hidden underneath the other gray squares. If your photo is larger than the gray square, use the cursor icon and drag one of the squares in the transform box (an example is circled in the yellow) until the photo is roughly the same size as the gray square. Release the mouse button to apply the transformation. STEP 7: Select "Layer" and then "Create Clipping Mask". The photo should then embed itself into the Layer 1 gray square. STEP 8: Repeat Steps 1 - 7 with the remaining 11 photos. Remember to select a new layer each time before adding a new photo. For example, you'll want to select "Layer 2" before dragging and dropping the second photo onto the template. STEP 9: After all 12 photos have been embedded into the template, you'll need to save it as a PNG file. First select "File" and then select "Save a Copy...". STEP 10: Save your photo as usual, making sure "PNG" is selected from the file type dropdown menu. STEP 11: Then select "Large file size". STEP 12: Now you'll want to login to your Spoonflower account. After logging in, select the person icon that's toward the top right of the screen. Then select "Upload a Design" from the dropdown menu. STEP 13: A new window will open up where you can then upload the PNG file. In the first section, select the PNG file to upload. In the second section, select the box to aknowledge you're not using a copyrighted file/image. And then, finally, in the third section, select the "Upload" button. STEP 14: A new window will open up showing the file you just uploaded. On the right hand side you'll want to select the options that are circled in yellow. You may want to use a different type of fabric than the "Petal Signature Cotton". That choice is completely up to you! Next you'll select "Save Changes" and, finally, select "Add to Cart". Check out like you normally would with an online purchase and that's it! Sidenote: I ordered two fat quarters just to be safe and the quality of both exceeded my expectations. Spoonflower recommends not ironing on the printed images, but I have had no issues with it. Starch spray didn't affect the quality of the images either. But, even though I didn't have issues, I still recommend testing your printed fabric before starching and pressing directly on it! ALTERNATE OPTIONS IF YOU DON'T HAVE PHOTOSHOP 1. CANVA - Spoonflower has a blog post that explains how you can upload photos to Canva and then upload the PNG Canva file to Spoonflower. P.S. If you go this route, a 5" square photo = 750 pixels. You can view the Spoonflower blog post HERE. 2. ETSY - There are many Etsy shops that will do all the work for you! A few shops I recommend are... - Case Custom Design - Pillow Printz and More - Sweet on Stitches - Sew Handmade on Etsy I hope you found this post helpful! If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]. And one last reminder, the Snap Happy pattern will be available on April 12th!

I’m really loving the solids trend in quilting right now. I sketched out this design and made it with 5″ charm squares. The navy is a bella solid that I bought as a charm pack. Super easy and quick to go together. Backing is a bright triangle fabric by Michael Miller fabrics.
Today I get to show off this beautiful little crib quilt I made using the Fat Quarter Shop's free Mini Charm Mix Pattern. The Fat Quarter Shop has not only put together a lovely free pattern - you can also watch this video where Kimberly gives you the quick and easy instructions. I decided to make the crib size - the pattern also gives you instructions for a table runner and a lap size quilt. Lately there seem to be more and more babies arriving around me and a crib size quilt will be a perfect gift for one of them. I chose to make the top with Horizon by Kate Spain and Kona White. My version of the crib quilt, after a good wash and dry, is about 30" by 35". I quilted this quilt with unevenly spaced straight lines. First I stitched all over lines in one direction. Then I took the quilt off my long arm and turned it so that I could quilt lines perpendicular to the first set. Of course, perpendicular straight line quilting is even easier to do on a domestic machine with a walking foot. Those additional lines were quilted only in the area where the feature mini-charm squares run. After a wash and dry, this quilting gives the quilt beautiful texture. You can see the quilting effect well on the back. I used some beautiful prints from Violet Craft's Brambleberry Ridge for the back. There is the whole back. It was my hope to make this quilt suitable for a baby of either gender. After a lot of auditioning, I decided on another Brambleberry Ridge print for the binding, which I machine stitched in place. This crib quilt was fun and easy to make and the pattern is a great way to use mini charm packs. You could easily use mini-charms from more than one line of fabrics too, for even more variety in the prints. Or there are kits available at the Fat Quarter Shop too. Thank you to the Fat Quarter Shop for including me in the blog hop for this new free short cut quilt pattern. Best, Leanne
