I have been trying to use up these strips for a long time and I would really like this tote empty by the end of the year.
The start of a new miniature. 1.5" light squares with 1" x 1.5" color sashing and 1" corner stones. This is 10.5" square and now to add a border and get it quilted. This would be a very cool large quilt, but I am not that nuts! Mini pieces make for fun mini quilts.
There are more lights in this tote that are just bits. So I am going to make some of the small floating stars that Barbara showed for a swap. I've made them before and I know they work up quickly. I'm hoping to eat up these lights as well as some of my color bits from the barrel system.
It's dropped into the 40's for the day and into the 30's at night - a huge jump, but wonderful for staying indoors with the crock pot making dinner while stitching the day away.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
Your mini quilt is so lovely--great work..hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and thanks for sharing the sizes. Hope your Mom is continuing to improve. I have totally fallen of the blogging wagon.
ReplyDeleteWell, that turned out so cute. Those are the sizes I’ve been working with on my cardinal, and so I know just what you’re talking about when you say you’re not that nuts. Apparently, I am just that nuts.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! I did get a big laugh out of your not being that nuts comment. Awwww...come on, you really don't want to make a big quilt from 1.5" pieces? hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI love that mini! (And am stashing away that idea for a mini of my own - thanks!)
ReplyDeleteThose stars look like fun, too! Enjoy your stitching!
I would love to join you for a cooler day in with some yummy smells coming from the crock pot! Happy stitching~ I'm just envious I have to be at work for the day. hehehe
ReplyDeleteCute mini! I love seeing what you do with scraps!
ReplyDeleteVery fun mini! But oh so tiny. Hope you get in lots of stitching time. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteThose sure are tiny pieces. But it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove your mini and those stars are adorable too.
ReplyDeleteYour mini is adorable. Before reading the description I had assumed the squares were 2.5" or even 5", which is about the only way I would make a larger sized quilt in that design. Can't wait to see your stars - they look like fun little scrap-user-uppers!
ReplyDeleteYour mini quilt is beautiful, great way to use up scraps.
