Mini Quilt Mail







If you had been thinking that things were a bit quiet on the sewing front, rest assured that lots has been going on - just secretly.  A couple of months ago, my sister Janine, and I decided to make each other a mini quilt for our sewing rooms.  This week we finally received our quilts, so I can show what I made.

I decided to do a mini Lone-Starburst for her.  It is a paper-pieced pattern.  I made it using some fabrics from Bonnie & Camille's Scrumptious and Modern Vintage ranges and other co-ordinating solids. After adding a border and binding it ended up at abut 16" square.

The beautiful package is what mine came in.  My sister made the decorative heart too.  I received the most beautiful rainbow wheel mini quilt.  I am so looking forward to cleaning up my sewing room and hanging this on that lovely blank wall .

Thanks so much Janine for a lovely swap.
