As I said in my last post I was going to try to get together all of the Mini Mania Challenge quilts (made so far) to make a single bed quilt. Well, its done...Yeah!
You may remember the mini's but just in case you need a reminder
 |
| I think these were the first two |
Then I added some more blocks that I just loved
 |
| The one on the left is a pattern that a quilting teacher allowed me to use |
 |
| The one on the right is another version of the log cabin. |
and this pattern was one from the
Moda Bake shop, but I reduced it. Instead of these being 12" blocks, I made them 7" blocks, so this one ended up 21.5" square
None of these blocks are the same size, so there was quite a bit of planning (I think not). but I did have to quilt together some white fabric to fill in some gaps. Putting this together was a bit like doing a jig saw that has no picture. I first laid out all the blocks.
 |
| The first lay out |
To fill in some gaps I added the white
 |
| Now to make them bigger |
I changed the lay out a number of times, but this is the final
 |
| It took longer than I imagined to get this far |
But the big reveal.............
 |
| Tah Dah! |
I am very pleased with the result.......after all it could have turned into a 'Dogs Dinner' of a quilt.
What's next I ask myself.
