Mini Buds Quilt
Over the weekend, I was able to spend some time working on a new project. There is something so satisfying in having an idea, starting a new project, and seeing immediate results.
This quilt is my Mini Buds quilt and it finishes at about 15″ x 15″. The fabrics I used are Miss Kate by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics.
I plan to offer this as a free pattern sometime this month as a companion pattern to my book Playful Petals. It’s a perfect pattern to use one of those mini charm packs you may have been saving for just the right project.
For the quilting, I tried something completely different(for me). I wasn’t sure how the center was going to turn out with so much quilting passing through–but, I think it works well.
For the backing, I chose a DS Quilts polka dot fabric:
And for the binding, I am using the navy striped scallop print from Miss Kate.
And here you can see how small these pieces are:
Such cute, teeny little pieces =)
Happy Sewing!
So lovely! Can’t wait to use with the book!!
I love everything about it, just perfect!
I absolutely love this little quilt, and have a few mini charm packs, so wonderful of you to offer it as a free pattern. I’ve been testing patterns for a few quilters, so if you need someone I would love to test one of your patterns. You’re so talented, you probably don’t need testers, but if you do my email is Dahlgren0609 at Gmail dot com. Hopefully I can make this soon.
LOVE it! And for the record, before I read anything you wrote, my first thought was, “Wow! Love that quilting!” This is a terrific little quilt – you do great work!
This is another beautiful project! It looks fabulous in the fabric you chose (you do love your Bonnie & Camille) and the quilting is like rays of sunshine radiating outwards. Another triumph!
That’s so cool! I love the quilting radiating out like that — the middle must be crazy! 😀
This mini is adorable! I have your Playful Petals book – it’s one of my favorites.
Love this sweet little quilt — and the quilting!
Great quilt! I have your book and plenty of mini charms, so I would be ready to go. 🙂
Sweet little quilt design. Simple yet adorable.
I love it! So beautiful.
Stunning! Love the mini and the quilting. You can mail it to me anytime. (Grinning)
Fab! Looking forward making this darling 9 patch! And the FMQ is sweet.
Sooo tiny!!! Right up my alley! 🙂
Love that pattern and quilting is just amazing!
Cute, and VERY small.
I really love the way you chose to quilt this.
Oh my! All that quilting! So pretty
The quilting is spectacular! Such an energetic little piece.
Wow, just wow. My first reaction says it all. Would love to try making this.
This is beautiful and I would love to try it!
Très beau quilt bravo bonne journée Marie-Claire
Oh wow its look like a perfect artwork.
must tell you i love your book, i was fortunate enough to win it from doing the mini medallion sew along,(that i also loved). i recently used it doing ‘the Orange Peel QAL, i had a tough time choosing but in the end i did a version of Tossed Petals, https://www.flickr.com/photos/94594555@N06/15157917452/
Next up is the cover quilt Rainbow Petals with some Kaffe and AMH.
All your instructions are clear and easy to follow and i liked how you did pillows with them too, such fun!!
