Mini Buds Quilt

Mini 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!

    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.

    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!!

Hey Friends!--I'd love to hear from you. =)
