Ann inspired me last week to make a tiny quilt for the little quilt rack
I bought at a flea market earlier this summer.
Here's the result, made last Saturday afternoon:
As you can see, it is just shy of 8" square.
Those red,white,blue blocks finished at 3/4"!
That's a first for me as I recall.
It fits perfectly on my little quilt rack,
but I want to paint the rack before using it.
I must admit that I made little four-patches
and then sewed them together.
With my crazy hands, it was quite a challenge!
A friend and I went to a couple of quilt shops today, and I found a replacement for the lost blue fabric for my Underground Railroad. I'd show picures, but the fabric is in the dryer already!
Maybe by next week I can have something to show on that project!
For now, I'm going to bed! I was on my feet way too many hours today,
and I'm paying for it tonight!

Lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! 3/4 inch is as small as I go, too. We're going to see it on the quilt rack after it painted, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little patriotic quilt. It looks great for all those tiny pieces!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! Red, White and Blue is always good too. Did I tell you I'm meeting Beth today for our own shop hop! I'm driving to her house and we'll leave from there, then she'll show me some of her projects. I plan to take pictures and blog about it.
ReplyDeleteI love your mini quilt! Now I can' wait to see it on the little quilt rack.

Your quilt is so cute, I love it! I'm going to have to give it a try. Ann's quilts are so nice and now you've joined in and yours is adorable. I have to make one! I'm happy you found another blue fabric for your Underground Railroad quilt, I am anxious to see yours all finished. Now, for sure, the original fabric will show up somewhere! I spent time yesterday deep cleaning two bathrooms and ache all over. Get some rest so you will feel better. Getting older is not for sissy's! I don't mind the birthdays, I'll take all I can get, but I do hate feeling bad some days just because I think I can work like I did when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteVery cute;) I really need to do something small....so I can get a sense of accomplishment again;) I know the on your feet to long thing...I did the same thing yesterday;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting!!

Oh, so pretty! Ann, I think you have some serious competition here!

To Liri and Ann: No competition from me! That would be one contest I could never win! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteLove, the mini is just so cute. Your fabrics are great. I can't wait to see it on the little rack you bought.
ReplyDeleteI had a great day today with Ruth. We did some shop hopping. I will post about our adventures.
Congrats on your mini! Well done!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I have a book on minis, to try out designs/patterns I would like to make, and perhaps not have the time to make a large size quilt. I still haven't got to it.
You inspire me. Could be the right project to get me back into the swing of quilting again!
