I have no new content to share at the moment. I am procrastinating BIG TIME about quilting the wedding quilt for Sarah and Jason (due by the 20th, FYI). And I really want to go start on a new sew along quilt - the patriotic one I mentioned. Plus, I had a brainstorm earlier - the sew along quilt would look great in my Corey Yoder fabric scraps! I am chomping at the bit to dig into that, as well.
So, with no new material to share, I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and show - in one long picture parade - most of the mini-quilts I've made in the past 10-11 years. Some are table toppers, some are table runners, some are wall hangings. But all are small - say under 30" square, I'm guessing.
Enjoy the parade!

Funny footnote: Back when I was visiting my grandmother weekly, I often took a project to work on while we chatted. I recall her once asking my why I wasted my time on "those little things." I was taken aback at her admonishment! In retrospect, I think I understand where she was coming from. All through her life, quilts were necessities, and all available sewing time needed to be devoted to the demands of keeping the family warm through the winter. To put so much time toward making these little quilts probably seemed a bit frivolous to her, I imagine.
Ah, how times change.
Happy Quilting, Friends!
Thank you for putting together this parade of mini quilts. The range of patterns and colour combinations is lovely. Did any of your minis lead to making full size quilts using the same patterns or colour schemes? I spied a Churn Dash in the parade!
