I have never attempted a mini-quilt...and wanted to join in the fun...so I went with a mug rug kind of mini. I had no real rhyme or reason to the pattern...had some yummy decent sized scraps left from these blocks...so I just started piecing together and trimming and so on and ended up with my little piece (measures around 7ish x 11ish).
Here is the front:
and the back:
I quilted it very simply...and had another new experience...decided to stitch the ditch (hadn't tried that one before either) and I LOVE how it came out! Maybe next time I'll make a mini and try out some FMQ (that one still scares me a bit though!). Had some repeat binding issues from a few weeks ago...and I'm pretty sure it's because I forgot to change out the foot I was using (again)...but will have to see.
I had a lot of fun getting this together in a short period of time (around 2 hours, give or take a few minutes)...it was awesome having the feeling of completing something quilty so quickly!
Ok...now I'm off to check out some other lovely mini's! Have a fantastic weekend!
Aww ... that is cute! :o)
