A Month of Quilt Tops: DAYS 23-25: Sugar Pop!

I purchased a couple of layer cakes of the Sugar Pop collection by Liz Scott when it came out a couple of years ago.  I love the aqua blue, chocolate brown and pink, and the designs are fun and fresh.  I started to make one of my Hip to Be Square quilts, but quickly realized that the bold designs and colors needed to be offset with a white background.  Last summer, I used Camille Roskelly's pattern Piece of Cake 2 to make this Sugar Pop quilt:

This was such a fun and fast pattern -- I finished the top in a few hours, and it made a really nice large lap quilt.  I still had lots of Sugar Pop left, so I cut up the rest into charm squares and brought them with me this summer.  My sister divided them up into two color palettes, and I used the two sets to make this pattern by Etsy seller Sweetjane. 

This is a very easy pattern for beginners, as there are not many seams to line up, and 2 charm packs are enough to make a nice sized baby quilt.  The pattern is called "Flowers in The Garden".

After making these two quilts, I still had more five inch squares left, so I mixed the colors together and made another coin quilt!

I know I've gone a little overboard on the coin quilts this summer, but they really are a great way to use up those smaller pieces!  Maybe I need to challenge myself to design an alternative pattern for all my leftovers!

The three quilts look very bright and cheery together!
