Believe it or not, my machines are both tucked away in the closet. The ironing board has been collapsed and the cutting mats are tucked under a coffee table. It almost, almost looks like there isn't a quilter/fabric hoarder who lives here!
It seems like a good time to revisit those fabulous Mini Mini Quilts once again! The little tiny works of art. Each one beautiful. Each one special.
My oh my how this collection has grown! I jumped on the band wagon with both feet and it was worth it...just look at that collection!
My A Simple Solution : Something Had To Be Done!, filled up so fast!
It didn't take long before it was over flowing with delightful mini mini's! I knew it would happen. At the time I made this frame, I had numerous mini's in the pipeline.
Funny how all the work on quilting the background of the frame is lost with so many mini mini's!
This time of year makes me want to organize, rearrange and clean up. I started in my tiny office with the bulletin board. It seemed like a great place to admire and show off the over flow of mini's. I'm still cleaning up this board, but you see where I'm going?!
The mini craze may be slowing down, but I don't think it will stay that way. This time of year you gotta focus on other things. I hope to make a few more after the first of the year.
Take a look at some of these beauties I received:

Swapping was new to me this year. I always wanted to sign up and give it a try, but I never quite got there...then I saw this craze starting up! (thank you Yvonne @quiltingjetgirl for getting me hooked!) No pressure, no sign ups, no rules really. Something I could get behind in a big, well...little way!
Here's a few I whipped up for trading!

| My very first mini mini's! |
I just want to thank every one who participated in swapping with me! It was so much fun! I love each and every little bitty quilt I received. They are truly little works of art and I'm thankful that I have pieces of each of you!
Such a wonderful collection of mini's! I have not tried to make a super tiny mini yet, but it is on my list for 2016 :)
ReplyDeleteIt grew so fast! They really became addicting and are very fun to make! I love this little tiny collection…so many amazing little ones!
DeleteLet me know when you want to swap!!! :)
DeleteI spy a familiar one... glad it arrived safely!
ReplyDeleteYes you do, and I plan on spot lighting it in a post soon!
DeleteI had fun swapping. I think I'll be ready to go again in the New Year. But I just remembered I forgot to blog about the most recent ones I received. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThey are a fun swap! I like that there isn't a lot of pressure involved. It's really fun to see them all together!
DeleteAll of those are wonderful! I would never get anything done because I would just want to hold and pet my mini's all day. I'll have to watch and hopefully get in on the fun next time.
ReplyDeleteEach one is wonderful, when put all together…they are amazing! It was such a fun swap and I'm sure it will start up again after the Holidays!
DeleteThat is a lot of minis my dear! So colorful.
ReplyDeleteThey were addicting, but fun! I didn't realize how many I had made until I put all the ones I received together!
DeleteThey're all just delightful! Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteThank you Carla and Merry Christmas to you as well!!
DeleteYour collection is beautiful! It is so fun to get to see so many grouped together. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteI'm still amazed at how many I have!! I didn't realize until I wanted to take a group picture! I thoroughly enjoyed this swap!
DeleteThose little quilts are so delightful Jayne and it looks like you've had a ball swapping! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous collection!
ReplyDeleteI am reading some of your old posts and saw this one where you say that the mini mini craze is dying down. This makes me really sad because I just recently found out about it. Most bloggers didn't talk about it - I guess it was an Instagram thing. These are all so cute, that I am sure I will have to make some of my own. I have made ATCs and journal quilts, so I guess it is the same/similar thing.
