Second and third of twelve mini quilts 2018

                     

Thanks to the #12minisin12months sew-along hosted by Kait over at Knot and Thread Design, my mini quilt wall is growing! So glad I jumped on board with this sew-along.


Here's my little cross & star block finished for February. This block has been on my mind since seeing Taunja's over at Carried Away Quilting - gorgeous! 


Straight-line quilting is my thing and it fits perfectly with this one-block mini quilt. I'm thinking I might need a bigger quilt made with this block.


My favorite print from Bonnie & Camille's Daysail fabric line is so cute to see up on the wall.


My finish for March was a slight variation of the star & cross block - added a square in the center of the cross. I just needed to see how it would look.



Such a pretty little finish using my favorite print form Fig Tree & Co.'s Strawberry Fields fabric line.


Again, straight line grid quilting for the quilting win. Lines are 3/8" apart. So, so much fun quilting up both of these mini quilts. They both make me smile, but I think the star & cross might be my favorite (I'm a bit partial to plus blocks : )

Quilted Dresser Runner - All Solids


The request was for a red and green dresser runner, nothing fancy.


The challenge was to work with these colors and create something that would work year round, not just at Christmastime.  I think we accomplished just that.


Somehow it slipped my mind how challenging quilting on the diagonal can be, especially with a quilt this long. Either I need to practice more or give it up entirely - not my favorite to do but seemed to be what this quilt needed. As I was quilting, it felt like it was going to be a flop, but it turned out very nice indeed and square!


Overall very pleased with how this quilted runner finished. It was so easy and fun working with just three colors and simple blocks.
