Falling Charms

So starts the quilting process!

As I was thinking about the name of the quilt, Falling Charms, I began to doodle and came up with this, what I thought looked like falling charms, 


Then the next thing I had to do is figure out the porportions as to how big I wanted the charms and how far apart.  SO I began mapping it out on graph paper in my Quilter's Journal.  Each square represents
1/2 in. which makes my grid 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches
So I drew the grid onto my quilt for me to follow



And here they are being quilted....They look totally Retro don't they?

    To me they look very modern....I absolutely love your quilt. I plan on learning from your use of marking tools to improve my quilting. You are so consistant.
