modern applique mini quilts






I keep writing and erasing the words for this post. I'm not really sure I have much to say about these mini quilts especially since I already wrote about the pink pineapple quilt

Well, let's see - the quilts are all freehand cut raw edge applique and I quilted the background before sewing on the applique as I described in the tutorial I wrote recently for my fox pillow. I made these all within a few days of each other back in July (the last time I sewed!!!) and they are now "displayed" on the walls of my 9 year old's room.  Hm, what else . . . my favorites are the more modern ones; my daughter's favorites are the pineapple and the flowers. 

I have to admit though that I'm not sure how I feel about these quilts - part of me thinks they look like they were made, or at least designed, by one of my daughters (they weren't.) But I really enjoyed the process of making these and plan to experiment with more applique in the future.

  6. I've been thinking of trying something like these, maybe more "artist trading card" size. I'd like to feel like I can create a little more often with a little more freedom. These are inspiring!

  7. I really like all of them. What a great idea for wall art, easily tailored to suit any colour scheme or design and I would guess these are really great projects to make when time is tight but you still want to create.

  9. They are trendy, the colours great. I would not worry, especially if you had fun in the process of making them. They are bright and happy (if quilts can be this!!)
