The second quilt, I call "Charmed".
I made this for my dear friend, Megan. She and I have been friends for 39 years. I don't know how that's possible, since neither one of us is over 29!
I call this "Charmed" because it's similar to the old charm quilts.
"Charm quilts are quilts that are made using a different fabric for each piece of the pattern."

Mine isn't quite that scrappy. Since I used a four-patch, I did duplicate each fabric - once. Each four-patch has 2 fabrics, one pair of each fabric. However, the fabric pairs in each four-patch are not repeated in the quilt. I also used just one black and one white fabric for all the sashing, cornerstones, and borders.
I think I need to make her a new one though. Last time I saw this quilt, it was well-loved and quite faded. Hmm, I've always wanted to make a French Braid quilt, maybe I'll do a purple one for her.
Edited to add: I don't know if Megan even knows I have a blog so no idea if she'll see this or not. We do talk and "see" each other on FB.
Happy Stitching!

Such a sweet quilt! I'm sure she loves it!
I love the soft colors in this. Lovely quilt. Denise@fortheloveofgeese
What a charming gift! Isn't it funny how years can go by so (ahem) quickly?! :)
Nice easy quilt for a long time friend. I taught my long time friend to quilt so she makes her own now. Win-Win!!
It's so pretty and obviously very well loved!
Hi Stacy! I am 100% sure that Megan just loves this quilt. I have been friends with my bestie since high school, era 1976. I'm not doing the math . . . but that's a long time. I can just hear Megan squeal with delight at the possibility of a new quilt! ~smile~ Roseanne
A quilt that your friend will cherish forever. Beautiful!
It's obvious, you two have been friends in your previous lives as well! Lovely quilt.
A quilt of love for your friend, this is just darling.
