I feel like I have been working on these mini quilts FOREVER.
It started as a whim making the string blocks, then indecision over what layout to use lead me to doing 4 mini quilts. Once that decision was made I got the quilt tops finished and sandwiched pretty quickly and there they sat for a couple of months.
Other projects got in the way and then I couldn't decide how to quilt them. Well last week I bit the bullet and just went for it. I love how a couple of them turned out and I am a bit 'iffy' about the other 2 but YEAH they are finished.
They measure 28" square and now I am left with just one more decision.....what to do with them! They will probably sit for another couple of months whilst I ponder.
I would like to say that I am moving onto completing some of my many WIP's but alas another whim has taken control of my sensibilities. I have a large pile of scraps - crumbs and tiny strings so l started to make some crumb blocks and I am completely hooked. They are quick, easy, fun, no measuring or accuracy required. Now that's my kind of sewing.
I started 2 nights ago and I already have about 25 blocks (4.5"). What am I going to do with them? Who knows but I am having a blast making them.
I am linking up with Leah Day's FMQ Friday and Marelize Anything Goes. Until next time.

Love your scrap pile!
ReplyDeletewee! No matching corners sounds AWESOME! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of your mini quilts, it is so nice with the white background, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts look great. My great grandmother had a long hall in her house and I can just see these hanging on either side - a little gallery. What a great idea with your scraps. I had been taking my left overs from projects and making 6.5 - 10 inch blocks with them. I have to get back into the habit. I figure I'll eventually do something with them.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love your little crumbs and look forward to seeing what you decide to do with them!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is SO hard to work on WIP's when there are so many exciting possibilities nudging at us! I have that dilemma, too. I just keep chipping away at it. Love all your little crumbs. They will make an awesome quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors with white background! I'm inspired to try this....

ReplyDeleteGreat mini quilts, Sue! My favourite is the pinwheels! Those crumb blocks are looking great, too. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteLove all your minis! The crumbs are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI've made some crumb block recently too and I love them. They are great for those times when you want to sew but are tired - its impossible to make mistakes on these!
