The Soulmate Quilt Meets MELODY! -

Hello! It’s Karlyn from Charlie Bear Quilts, and I have exciting news! The Soulmate quilt will be featured in the January issue of the Make Modern Magazine in the new year. (So, we have some time to wait, but why not start planning!) I knew Melody by Bev McCullough would be the perfect fabric collection to bring the Soulmate design to life.

The Soulmate Quilt was designed with hearts mirroring each other to symbolize the deep connection between two people.

Quilt Construction

The beauty of the Soulmate quilt, is its efficient design!

The pattern requires 8 different fabrics plus a neutral for the center background and the hearts. For the ombre look, you will organize Fabrics A-H from lightest to darkest as shown above. The pattern will be available in 3 sizes: Baby, Throw & Queen. Throw size (72 1/2″ x 72 1/2″) is pictured above on a King size bed for reference.

Coming in January!

Be sure to get a copy of the Make Modern magazine this winter to make your own version of Soulmate. January is the perfect time to whip up something special for someone you love…. maybe even your soul mate… (which can surely be a best pal too!) Talk about the world’s greatest Valentine’s gift!

When I stumbled upon this photo of me with Soulmate slung over my shoulder in an attempt to get “the shot”, it occurred to me I must make this into a quilt coat! The way I’m carrying it even makes it look like there is a hood too. The quilty gods are sending me a message, and I accept this challenge!!

“Maybe,

a soulmate is

a best friend who

makes you love

yourself more”.
