Make Modern Magazine has it going on right now! Check out all the details HERE if you would like to play along!
I had pieces that were sewn together in the scraps and I ended up slicing, sewing and dicing again until I was happy with it. Simple, modern and finishes at 4 1/2" x 4". The fabrics are Shot Cottons and Gee's Bend Solids.
Simple straight lines using blue and a variegated tan thread against a pieced back. The blue is not really blue and not really teal. Just a beautiful combination of both!
Let's go traditional! Tiny hourglass blocks finish at 3/4". While not perfect, they are adorable nonetheless! I had a hard time capturing the colors with this color combination. It's a deep dark violet and tangerine combination. 4 1/4" x 4 1/4"...I love small!
Lastly, goin' for the gold!
Shot Cottons always mesmerize me! Again, I sliced, diced and added a bit here and there for this finish. This one finished at a whopping 5" x 5"... huge in my Mini Mini world!
I have to say my favorite part of this is the quilting. While it may be big in my world, the tiny 1/4" quilted grid is anything but big!
If you haven't tried making a mini mini, you should! There is inspiration every where! Check out #MMminimini or #miniminiquiltswap on instagram! It's a fun change of pace occasionally!

Mini minis are so addicting! I love seeing what you create and I'm excited about the Make Modern #MMminimini challenge. It's going to be fun to see what everyone makes!
ReplyDeleteYou and I both know it! I hadn't made any in a while and thought it was about time to have a break from 'big'!
DeleteLove the colour combination of your minis ! Especially gold and blue.
ReplyDeleteAll the color/fabrics were scraps from a quilt! I knew one day I would use that little package of scraps!
DeleteYou have hit it out of the park again. And might I add, nice job staging those photos :) Love the little pine cones.
ReplyDeleteThank you once again Tish! It's fun to play with photos! Finding just the right touch is a challenge in itself!
DeleteI love your mini's, I don't know which I like best, but probably the first one, just because I so love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI love all the colors, especially because they are shot cotton and Gee's Bend solids. The colors are divine!
DeleteI've been thinking about doing this with some orphan blocks, but hadn't thought about slicing and dicing them. Thanks again for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI tend to have piles of beautiful scraps and partial sewn pieces, so I'm always slicing and dicing and rearranging into something completely different!
DeleteLove the tangerine and um together! But where did the jelly beans go! :)
ReplyDeleteShhh…I ate them! The Tangerine Shot Cotton is one of my favorite colors! Almost as good as jelly beans!
DeleteThese are great. I have jumped on the recent bandwagon, but need to get back to making some mini minis.
ReplyDeleteOnce you start there is no going back! Slightly addicting and always adorable!
DeleteThese are adorable! I might be succumbing to this..... They are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThose look kind of sofisticated to me :) Different to others and I like that!
ReplyDeleteI love mini minis, and yours are fun to look at! I am always so amazed at the intricate quilting people do, and yours are no exception!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I haven't really been able to get into the mini mini craze for some reason. I think they are super cute, but for some reason they don't grab me. It's probably a good thing, too, since like you< i tend to go overboard sometimes with certain things...Yours are super cute though and I'm glad you are enjoying them so much.
