Now that I am obssessed with mini quilts I started to remember that my mom has actually been making them for a long time! She was nice enough to take a few pictures of some of my favorites to share with you.
She made several of these for Christmas gifts one year. I love an irish chain! I remember begging her to make one for me, but after making about 6 of these, I think her eyes hurt. These are strip pieced from 1.5 inch strips!
This log cabin is TINY. 1.5" strips. Also strip pieced.
And this one has always been a favorite. I remember when she made this one (over 10 years ago I think). I remember thinking she was a bit nuts for cutting out all of those teeny tiny pieces and sewing them together. THEN I remember being amazed at how perfect it was when she finished.
Each square of fabric in the pieced portion is different! I appreciate the work in this so much more now.
So, do you have a mini ready to share for Friday?
Check out the prizes! And really, you could make a mug rug before then! Do it! It's so fun and a fast rewarding finish!
