Mini quilts are so quick aren't they? I managed to get a photo of this yesterday just as it started to rain. We have had wild, cold weather here at the moment, and lots of hail. Today the sun is out but the wind is freezing!
The quilting on the back is all nice and squiggly...
This is the quilt after it was thrown in the washing machine and tumbled in the dryer...it came out nice and wrinkly and not too much fraying!
A little label on the back, this one is gifted and on its way to a lovely friend.
Also made this week were a couple of churn dash blocks for Christine at Once upon a Quilt. Christine is generously making up a quilt for Lurline's hubby Ed who has been very ill, you can read more here.
Mmm my stash is mainly brights and florals, not too many manly colours but I think these blocks will be ok.
Have a wonderful week. xo

That little quilt is going to be such a special gift for a friend Cathy! Love it!
Love the quilt and the block, thank you Cathy
It turned out well Cathy.
Great quilt! I love your choice of border and binding. I think the scraps from a quilt are often more fun than the original quilt!
Really smart use of the corner left over. I have a pile myself that is hard to part with. Thinking it would be the perfect back piece for my quilt
I really like this mini quilt Cathy! Great fabric choice for the border too. You are a great inspiration! Thanks, M
So beautiful Cathy. I am always a little fearful of machine applique but I love the squiggliness of the stitching!love the border fabric too!

Just too cute..
It's turned out great Cathy! Where do you get your fab labels made up?
Are you thinking of doing the Farmers Wife QAL??? I am so in love with the blocks I've seen so far and have ordered the book, but i don't think i can commit to 2 blocks a week for a whole year - I was joking yesterday that maybe I'll be a farmers girlfriend instead and try for half…can I tempt you to join us???
gorgeous mini quilt.........
Your mini quilt is so playful and lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us all Cathy. xo
The little quilt is gorgeous Cathy!! I love the triangle quilting with those polka dots, your friend will love it :0)
The churn dash blocks will work just fine and you have a good heart to send them!
