Time flies when I am working on a little improvisational collage.... feels like pure play. Lots of Japanese fabrics and some sashiko.
A little 12"x12" mini for February -
I enjoy the challenge of using *only* little scraps from my scrap basket, some of which are too small to be useful for anything else. The blue polka dots were from my grandma's stash.
A list of fellow mini-makers can be found on The Constant Quilter. I really enjoy seeing what everyone has made. Thanks Wendy for gathering us and inspiring us each month!
xo gratefully,
Cynthia
These little mini collages are such a treat each month! Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what fun! You have such a nice, fun, interesting collection of scraps, Cynthia.
ReplyDeleteI just love this. The colors ... the shapes ... the stitching ... everything. So uniquely you. I think I might say that about all your quilts!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet. Great way to used your little pieces of fabric!
ReplyDeleteYour fondness for the fabrics and your enjoyment in the making really come through! What fun and loveliness!
ReplyDeleteNo scrap it too small not to be used. I guess the smaller the more of a lovely challenge it is.
ReplyDeleteI am full of awe of your order - preparing hanging triangles and labels and keeping them in a little plastic bag.
Your mini collage is wonderful! A great way to use up scraps! Have a safe and happy day!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! Love the way you are using only little scraps. Perfect for your delightful collages!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun one! Love your creative use of scraps!
ReplyDeleteSo charming. What is the finished size, is it tiny? I am so impressed with your labels and corner hangers too.

Beautiful mini, and great use of scraps! I love it, very creative!
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, are a natural at this lovely, mini collage-style of quilt. They look show-worthy! Combining all of these elements (including Grandma's blue polka-dots) and ending up with something so beautiful, fun, and pleasing to the eye is not something just any of us could do. And look at the beautiful quilting!!
ReplyDeleteI was smiling at your neat bag of pre-made corners and labels. You are prepared! :)
A bouquet for spring and a fabulous way to use up leftovers. Win - win
ReplyDeleteYou keep coming up with these sensational little quilts! I love each one more than the last. You really have inspired me to try this method. Maybe for my March mini. I love that you have some of your grandmother's scraps in there. How sweet. Thanks for another great mini.
ReplyDeleteI just love this series you are making. I hope you keep going. Each one is unique and interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe mix of hand and machine quilting gives it great texture.
Such a great idea to premake all the labels and hanging corners... so organized!
ReplyDeleteYour collage is so nice! Playing with fabric is the best therapy for whatever ails me!
ReplyDeleteThis is super sweet! Don't know how I missed it. Love seeing all the scrappy goodness.:)
ReplyDeleteEverything about this little mini draws me in, from the use of scraps to the composition, and ending with the hand-sewing and the small labels and corners. You will have a great collection of minis when this year is done. Congratulations on a finish!
