Hello! The first project I worked on at my quilt retreat last week was this little mini quilt. I thought it would be fun to take a little quilt to work on that I might be able to finish while away!
I did get all of the blocks done on the retreat and just had to decide on an
outer border and binding when I got home.
The blocks were fast and fun, and I’m now determined to make the full-size version of this quilt. Making a mini version first is a great way to decide if you want to invest time in a project!
When I purchased the pattern I didn’t realize there was a tiny bit of applique on each block: the center flower petal is a simple shape, so the stitching was easy! I used Joanna’s freezer paper method which is explained in the pattern.
Back at home I decided on a simple cross-hatch quilting design on my home machine.
This was a fun little quilt…these little flowers definitely say “spring” to me! (The pattern is “Mini Daisies” and is available here).
Thanks so much for stopping by!

What a fun and bright little mini! I confess I already made my mini clambake it was such a fun pattern to make. Now I just need a sunny day and a good photo:-)

Until you mentioned it, I didn't realize the middle pedal was appliqued – ever cute. Love this!!

It's creepy how often we are working on the same projects at the same time. I made 3 mini daisy blocks the other night for this year's Figgy Mystery BOM. 🙂

I've never seen a pattern that added that little bit of applique like that. The mini sure turned out pretty Sherri!

I am making this pattern now too!
Mine is ready for the final border and then the quilting. I will share with you when I finish!
