Perfect 5 LUCKY #13 a BONUS & #14!

*** My Blocks ***

These were both super fun blocks from the Perfect 5 book! On the left is the Fortune Cookie that uses 5 charm packs for the quilt. The block on the right is the Frosted cookie using 4 charm packs, i really want to make this one! Remember a Layer cake is 4 charm packs if you have one of those.

Scroll down for tip on making an extra star block & then my full quilt made with the book's Snickerdoodle pattern if you missed it last week.

I'm making one of each block from the bonus sampler that goes along with the Perfect 5 book. The sampler sheet & photo are at the end.
I'm using a Pepper & Flax Jolly bar cut in half- there are not that many of these so be sure to get one!
and the background is my charcoal from Bonnie Lane Fabric
you can see the other designers at the Fat Quarter Shop.. HERE

*** Make a Bonus star Block ***

I used the sew and flip extra cut off triangles from the Frosted cooking block.
Sew the bonus triangles for half square triangles.
Trim each HST unit to 2" - you will have 8 star points.
Cut 4 charcoal squares 2" x 2" for the corners
Cut 1 center square 3.5" x 3.5"
Sew the Star block
UnFinished size of the star is 6.5" x 6.5"

*** The Fabric for my Snickerdoodle Quilt ***

I used Crescent charm packs and Essential dots for the background

To Make Like mine

*** Closeup ***

I love the fan quilting!

*** Backing***

Let me tell you a secret. Years ago I didn't care what was on the back of my quilts. Often it has nothing to do with the front fabric.
Now.. I really want to back each quilt with matching fabric. .. so I did!

*** Binding ***

Purple binding just makes this, don't you think so?

*** All Together ***

I finally could put them all up on the wall, LOVE them!
This should make a nice lap quilt. I will need to draft a setting soon
