11" x 11" |
This time I used a very, very small amount of the colors and relied on the overall design to carry me through.

The triangles are tiny at just 1/2" high. It was a little tough piecing them together because of the size, but not in the least bit impossible. After the triangles were together I built the rest of the quilt around them.

The light gray is Kona Shadow, dark gray is Kona Medium Gray and the black is Kona Black. Gray is a color I have on hand at all times. Its been my go to background and backing fabric for years. As much as I'd like to change things up I never seem to get there!
What's your favorite background color? Do you find it hard to change it up sometimes?

Because this was a mini, I was looking forward to giving it the quilting treatment. I quilted a triangle design in the section above the triangles and straight lines throughout the rest of the quilt with Aurifil Light Blue Gray (2610). The lines vary in width from 1/8" to about 1/4".
I had to add a little twist to go along with the triangles! I mean, why not?! I pulled out Aurifil Spring Green (1231), Delft Blue (2730) and Blossom Pink (2530) and quilted lines above and below the triangles. I like the subtle detail.

I know most people don't wash their mini's, but I do! Not this one, but 9 out of 10 I'll wash. I'm a die hard sucker for the crinkle effect!

Now I can enter my quilt knowing I followed the rules and at least have a chance! Again, the reason I love these Curated Quilt challenges is for the challenge. It gives me a boost of energy, gets my creative juices flowing and stimulates my brain! In or not...it's a worthwhile challenge.
Since the Minimal Mini Quilt deadline isn't until January 10th, I may have time to squeeze another one in! Get obsessed much Jayne?! You never know!
