Claire had fun making quilts for two of her girlfriends while she was here.  There wasn’t much time (with her work schedule), so we picked a quick and easy pattern she could whip up in her evenings.

Here’s a tutorial for the charm pack quilt on point from Jenny Doan:

Below, Claire is laying out 2 different quilts.

You cut the 12 x 9 blocks diagonally (see the tutorial) and then flip the corners and sew them back together.  It’s like magic!

Claire finished one completely with a little help hand-stitching the binding from me, then she took some photos before delivering it to her friend.  The 2nd quilt will go home with her to be finished there.

Quilts are like tangible, tactile blessings that show you care, and then they keep giving for years and years to come.  Is there any greater gift??
