Two Baby Quilts + Perfect 5 Quilts Book

Today I get to share a couple of fun & quick projects from the Perfect 5 Quilt Along with the Fat Quarter Shop.

Two baby quilts by Andy of A Bright Corner - charm pack quilt patterns from Perfect 5 Quilts book

Perfect 5 Quilts is the newest book from It's Sew Emma.  It includes 16 quilts that are all Charm Pack friendly and they all use the new Perfect 5 ruler from Creative Grids.

As part of the quilt along, this week I'm sharing the Icebox Cookie block:

...and the Sugar Cookie block:

Both of these quilts came together really quickly and each project uses just one Charm Pack.  I love that!  It seems like I always have a single Charm Pack hanging around and I love finding new ways to put them to good use.

For the Icebox Cookie quilt I used a 5" Stacker of Rhapsody (by Sedef Imer for Riley Blake Designs).  The quilt calls for a 1/2 yard of an accent fabric so I chose one of the Blossom prints (by Christopher Thompson for Riley Blake Designs).  I love how the green Blossom print fits right in with the Rhapsody fabrics!

For the Sugar Cookie quilt I used a Charm Pack of Strawberry Jam (by Corey Yoder for Moda).

Since the quilt only needs 36 (5") squares, you can pull out the prints that don't have as much contrast to your background and put them in your scrap bin to use for a different project.

If you're doing the sampler version with the quilt along, you can find the single block instructions as a downloadable pattern here.  Keep in mind that you will also need to purchase the book because that will tell you what size to cut the pieces for each block.

  1. They are both delightful, and would lend themselves to using up scraps, instead, very nicely.

  2. Andy, I love both of your quilts! The Icebox quilt with bright green caught my eye immediately since green is my favorite color. I’ll be making both these quilts; Sugar Cookie comes together so easily.
