I would like to thank Amy of Amy's Creative Side for once again hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
I have entered one of my miniatures that represents ME as a quilter. I love working with scraps - use it all up is my attitude. Minis can be a fun place to be creative. You can play with a block with just enough satisfaction that it becomes a finish and not a UFO in the back of the closet. You can play with your quilting, too - hand or machine.
These few scraps were too precious to toss.
They came from this Kimono Jacket that I made during one of our local quilt guild's challange/classes.
Small scraps turned into smaller blocks. One inch pieces making two inch unfinished 9-patch cutie pie blocks.
Setting those on point adds to their charm. Larger scrap pieces were used for the border and binding. All used up into a very sweet piece.
Please be sure to visit AMY's to see the other entries. Why not enter something yourself.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

This is a lovely mini!
That is lovely, Sharon.
It’s precious, Sharon. I’m working hard to get some of my oldest UFO’s finished because I want to make more minis and use more scraps. You inspire me.
Very nice and I love the fabric combo. I'm currently working through my fabric scraps, I never considered a project like this. Denise @fortheloveofgeese
Really sweet mini!! :)
I've been following your blog for several years and I have to say this is probably my favorite quilt of all that you've shown! What a gorgeous way to use up those precious scraps!
lovely use of scraps. lovely ideas very tiny squares.
Love your precious little quilt!
I make a lot of minis too. But still have overflowing scraps. I love your colors and tiny blocks. Great job.
Very pretty!
You do such lovely minis. I've mostly just collected little scraps and not made anything other than crumb blocks. Ihope you didn't get too much rain from Florence. You were more in her path than us. We got just a little bit last night.

Beautiful little quilt.
Hi Sharon! You do that mini proud! I have to say God bless you for tackling those little bitty blocks. I can't imagine using 1" pieces and still be sane. You quilt is just perfect! Boy it's hard to believe those are leftover pieces from the Kimono. Th different setting makes them look totally different. ~smile~ Roseanne
Really cute and nice. Reminds me of that year when we were making mini quilts from a book someone was selling. Our leader dropped the whole project but we continued on our own.
So sweet! I love miniatures, in fact I just did a demo on them at my local quilt guild show!
Excellent use of your scraps. I love it!
Such a lovely mini to add such beauty to the house. I do not have the patience to work with things that small. Great Job!
So cute!
