A Charming Holiday by Claudia M
With this final challenge being charms, I did not have any charm packs on hand, and since I promised myself to not buy more to complete these challenges, I created a 27 piece charm pack from my stash of Christmas and ecru-white fabrics, no repeats. 
I made three 9-patch blocks, cut each block twice diagonally through the corners and center squares. Then rearranged the pieces and sewed them back into blocks, joining the blocks with sashing and then added the border. I machine quilted a double flower motif in the ecru-white squares with white rayon thread and a four petal flower in a variegated green thread in each of the center squares. I did need to buy binding fabric, nothing in my stash was dark enough to please me!
I have really enjoyed my first time participating in all of the challenges. I had lots of fun creating an entry even though I did little else all week to complete the project in time. My goal to submit an entry for each challenge was met. I was also able to complete all of the challenges using materials on hand with the exception of needing to purchase binding for this project and backing fabric for another. Not sure if that is good or bad!
Thanks for having these challenges to stretch my skills.

First time with charm squares. Loved them! Made my own, entirely from my stash.
On the Reef by Dana Burgess
In 2007-2008 we lived in a small fishing village in Belize. It was like living in paradise and when I saw this charm pack it took me back to living on the Caribbean sea and my favourite place - the reef. I snorkeled there as often as I could and often lost total track of time just following the fish.This little quilt is for my one year old grandson, so I can share that time with him.
I live in Calgary, Alberta.
Poppies Squared by Tara Bird
Challenge - I don't collect charm packs, so I decided to cut some of my Poppy fabrics into 5" squares and I made a table runner from 21 squares.
