Hi everyone! We’re celebrating the one year anniversary to one of our most popular Shortcut Quilt series, Charm Pack Cherry!
Our Charm Pack Cherry pattern uses four charm packs, two prints and two solids.
For our anniversary quilt, we chose to create our quilt with the Paradiso collection by Kate Spain for Moda Fabrics. (P.S.: We have the Quilt Kits and backing sets available at our shop too!)

I've made two of these quilts. They have gone to good homes with friends with babies. Loved making them. Thanks.
Like Kathryn, I have also made 2 quilts. One was king size. Love the "You Tube" instructions. Plus, I appreciate that you have included various sizes with your new patterns. It makes it so easy to know what to order. Thanks to FQS!!
I will admit to not paying much attention to this pattern when it first came out. I watched the video today however, and have downloaded the pattern. You make it look so easy!! Thanks for making this available.
