a mini quilt wednesday

I have both the mini quilts done and they are both on their way!! Hopefully they will be enjoyed and loved in their new homes!! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the little mini's, and already have two mini quilt swaps set up for June. :)

This is Ariels, red and aqua quilt with mushrooms and hedgies!! I love how it turned out, and even got to do a little sketchy stitchy applique for the first time!!


The M quilt for alphabet mania in the STUD quilt group. I'm calling it- Merry Mini's with a touch of Minnie Muu, just for Ansje. I'm also loving this one, with all the yummy darla fabrics!!

I snuck in a cute little yellow mocking bird!! :)


We are taking a little trip at the end of this week to California, and will be gone for a little over a week! I'll sure miss the quilting bloggie world!!

    I love these quilts...just wondering how wide the strips are...sometimes it's so hard to judge the size in a blog post!

    Sherri,

    If I remember right the strips were cut 1 1/2 inches wide. I don't have them anymore to double check.
