Charming Ripples quilt pattern - Strawberries & Rhubarb


This year it felt right to sew up my charm pack of Strawberries & Rhubarb by Fig Tree Quilts & Co for Moda Fabrics. It's a perfect match for strawberry season - the reds and corals and greens and earthy browns. So yummy!

With just a charm pack, a bit of background fabric, and an accent fabric of choice, you can make a super long runner or two shorter quilt table runners using the Charming Ripples quilt pattern


When making up the Charming Ripples quilt pattern, I like to do all the cutting then lay out each section. Once I like the flow of prints and colors, I piece each section then piece section to section. It goes very quickly, even the long 81" runner.


Wasn't sure how decorative stitching was going to look but I really wanted to try so I went for it.


First I did straight-line quilting with a walking foot in place then I did the green deco stitching. It took about half an hour to stitch each line of decorative stitching. I didn't rush it, just nice and steady stitching with the sewing machine. 


This Fig Tree Strawberries & Rhubarb version of the Charming Ripples quilt pattern turned out so nice!
