Table topper - Mini Quilt - Dolly Quilt ??

I guess this will end up being whatever the person getting it wants it to be.  I believe it could be used for any one of the choices, or all 3 depending on the whim.

It ended up being 16 X 21 1/2 inches which would qualify it as a mini quilt.  I believe it will be very close to the right size for a doll cradle where it's going, and I could easily see it on a buffet or table. 

This is the print that I used on the back.  Again, it could be used for all the uses I've already mentioned.

I can see all the girls in our family in this print.  My mom loves cardinals, one sis is a bird lover, another has snowman dishes, and I just love the trees.  hmmm  wish I had more of this fabric now!

This view shows the twister pinwheels a bit better - and the machine quilting I did on them.

I'm tickled with the way it turned out.

Jewel Box mini quilt

I've been interested in the Jewel Box quilt block, and before I got rid of the scraps I was simply tired of seeing around, I thought I'd just try another mini.

This is what I ended up with.
It's finished at 10 X 14 inches.


While not anywhere near perfect, it was a fun process to try, and I might even be interested enough to make a larger one some day.

Mini quilt updated

oh yeah....I like this much better.  I took the batik off the border, added a tiny word border, then a floral.
It's bound with commercial binding and finishes out at 9 X 11 1/2 inches.

This is the second mini I've completed with the tiny bonus triangles from the Morning Star Quilt I've been working on.



Note:  This found a new home with my sister who lives in Manhattan, KS who stopped in for a visit and admired it.  I know she will find a special place for it in her new home and that it will be well loved.

Mini pinwheels



Here is another mini I'm working on.  It should finish out about 9.5 X 12.
After posting this and seeing the picture I'm going to take that outer border off and replace it with something else.  Not sure what, but I don't like what I'm seeing in this picture.  While the colors aren't true, I don't care for the batik for that border.  Stay tuned - we'll see what I can come up with.
