Mini Quilts

I just finished 2 mini quilts and I love them.. really pictures do not give material justice..but if you go to my blog and click on the picture you will see the fabrics used.

one of these will be for my swap partner!! I worked on them all day long and yesterday as well...just put the last binding stitch in and now have to do the labels..

Oh wow they are really beautiful Betweens, the fabrics are lovely and the patterns give just the right sparkle and shine to christmas, like when ornaments turn and reflect the light. You have been busy and they are lovely, someone is going to be very very lucky to recieve a mini from you

Oh and your snowfall quilt, OMG, I love it, are the snowflake blocks fussy cut fabric or appliques/pieced? Its in the exact shade of inky smokey blue I love so much, darned hard colour to find. Oh yummy, its heavenly!!! Do you need my addy to send it along??????

That is gorgeous Deb. I have never tried a mini but will someday.

Love them, Deb. I really want to get one done next year.

Nice work Deb, ditto to everything Gimpy said...

Deb,
Those look wonderful!

Mini`s are alot of fun to make and really are just as much work as a large quilt when piecing. The second one there is alot more piecing and fussy cutting to make sure that the spinning blocks jive I made sure the lines all were the same way in the blocks.
I hope to see everyone make a mini this is a great way to learn a technique but not in a big way.

Thanks Gimpy for the comp`s the snowflake one is a fussy cut. It was a kit that I got at one of the quilt shows (not cheap) but I loved the fabric so much it is a batik (which is not my favorite) but the color I too loved. Batik`s are not the easiest to hand quilt so I will be machine quilting it. just a grid kinda thing or I may see how much my friend will charge me to LAQ it.

Wow, I have to agree with everyone else, beautiful quilts Deb!!! Love the snowflakes!!!!!!

Just amazing!!! I don't think I could handle such small pieces

Oh Mamu with your quilting abilities I am sure you could I have seen some of the quilts you have done.. this woudl be a breeze for you but at a smaller scale.

I think I'd do better with a paper pieced one. Less margin for error.

HEY, maybe I'll bring that one to the retreat.

Carol Doake has many mini pp quilts you can make that is a great idea for the retreat.

RETREAT..... RETREAT.......someone mention retreat? YEA,,, bring it to the retreat would love to see it....................

did I mention we only have ONE PLACE LEFT OPEN for the retreat??

here is a mini finish can`t put it on the blog or FB yet till the girl gets it but know I can post it here and it will stay a secret.

Oh its come out beautifully Deb, love the quilting patterns and the quilt itself, those pinwheels really made it and the border fabric is beautiful. Have to say, love the hostas and blue spruce in the first pic and what is the flowering plant in the second pic? Awesome idea to photograph it with the plants, I love it

Thanks Gimpy the plant is azalea..these are at the veterans gardens where I work
