My Modern Mini

There is a competition going on in blogland which is coming to it's finale this weekend. It's the Modern Mini Challenge that is being hosted by Jennifer at Ellison Road Quilts.

Over the last few weeks some very talented bloggers have shown us some very inspirational wee quilts.

I am throwing my hat into the ring with this mini.

It wasn't my first idea but the phrase "think of a big quilt and shrink it" kept coming back to me - so I have recently completed this quilt - finished block size is 6"

  and here is its baby - finished block size - 3". So the size of this mini is 9" x 12"

  and here is mother and baby together.

I won't say I pushed myself too much with this wee quilt but it was a challenge just finding a bit of time at the moment to devote to indulging myself and having such fun putting it together, and I love it. And so I am linking to the challenge. You should pop over and have a look, there are heaps of super quilts there already.
