The Soulmate Quilt Meets MELODY! -

Hello! It’s Karlyn from Charlie Bear Quilts, and I have exciting news! The Soulmate quilt was featured on the cover of the January issue of Make Modern Magazine! 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!

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!!
