This was my last entry in the #MMminimini for Make Modern Magazine. I just made the deadline by the skin of my teeth!
I was making some 7" heart blocks for #QUILTSFORPULSE, and the idea hit me as I was carefully trimming the small corners. I don't usually save the tiny corners, but for this mini mini I was going to make an exception.
Many would say this is a crazy craze...I say perhaps you are right, I don't disagree! It is fun and it is challenging.
This little love has 36 - 1/2" squares. All packed in a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" square. Seriously, I would never make a real quilt with squares this size...that would be crazy!
After cutting the 1" squares and laying them out, I thought it was going to be too big! I quickly came to my senses!
The quilting is a simple grid, the bind hand stitched, the deadline to enter was met!
If you haven't made a mini mini yet, you really should! Like I said, it's a challenge. They are a quick and rewarding finish too! You will swoon with pride when you see that tiny mini in the palm of your hand! I promise!

love your mini!
ReplyDeleteMini mini's are perfect for those times when you just want to make something but not a big something!
DeleteYou win the Wow factor prize! Super!!! They are totally addictive.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I get a little crazy with these Mini Mini's! They are just too much fun and addicting, that's for sure!
DeleteIt's like they keep getting smaller and smaller! This one is too cute. So are you actually piecing these or paper piecing?
ReplyDeleteI love the challenge of making them as small as I can, depending on design! There was no paper piecing associated with this one. Just good old corner scraps that needed to be used. At least this one time!
DeleteJust when I think you can't make a mini-mini any smaller, you do!
ReplyDeleteThe size of this one was dictated by the left over corners from my heart blocks. I normally don't keep those tiny pieces, but it had to be done this time!!
DeleteThis mini mini is really fabulous, Jayne, and I especially love the ruler paired with it; hearts and love all around! #LoveIsLoveIsLoveIsLove
ReplyDeleteI've found that if you hold a mini mini or use some sort of prop, like a ruler, you can really get a much better sense of just how tiny these mini mini's are! Even if you add the measurements, a visual is so much easier! And yes…love is love!
DeleteSoooo tiny and perfect.
ReplyDeleteCute! I am living the mini mini craze through you ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's acceptable to me Cynthia!! I'll try not to disappoint you!!
DeleteFabulous teensy finish; you make me want to put together some (yup, cray-cray) tiny HSTs I've saved and sewn back together and make my own little heart!
ReplyDeleteI had to draw the line on certain sizes of HST corners! I'm crazy some of the time…so are you…so go and make yourself a heart!
DeleteIt is cute, but I refuse to believe that this is your heart. I know that your heart is full of joy and creativity which would show up as way more colorful!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Preeti
You just may be right about that Preeti! Maybe if I was starting from scratch! You are too sweet and very funny! You always put a smile on my face!
DeleteNo wonder you adore them - this one is absolutely adorable! You always make the most fantastic things Jayne. I love seeing what you are creating!
ReplyDeleteI have the best time playing with these mini mini's! If I can use some scraps, all the better!
DeleteI freakin' love this. So very wee. And rainbow-y!
ReplyDeleteIt is a small one and it was a fun one! Gotta love mini mini's!
Deletethis is the cutest! I think it would be a great gift. Congrats on making deadline... not so easy to do! LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteI think it would be a great gift for anyone too! Thinking of you, birthday or just because…you can never have a bad day when you receive a quilt regardless of it's size, in my opinion of course!
DeleteI love how you just did the outline of the heart.
ReplyDeleteI think I have to try that block. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour mini minis are just too cute! I think I need to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteYou are the mini mini master, Jayne. This is a super sweet quilt and I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I haven't gone down the mini mini path as yet, but it sure looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cute! I love the mini mini!
