red and aqua snippets

I finally got to try the snippets quilts!! It had been on my list for quite awhile, and when Claudia asked for a red and aqua quilt, I thought this would be a great one to try!! I added a couple larger white squares too for a little sketchy stitchy applique, as Claudia had mentioned she really likes that tecqnique as well. This was a fun quilt, and will need to make one for my home now. :)



Tasha had asked in my comments from my last post, how I get so much sewing done. One reason I like doing the mini quilts is I'm able to do more projects, in a lot less time, and I get to try new tecqniques quicker. Most of them I can whip out in one evening after the kids go to bed, and then work on here and there during the day or a following evening to finish up. Though, I need to start getting back to the larger ones, since my other kiddos are still waiting on their quilts.

This week I need to finish up these 3 mini's and send them off to their new homes!!

    I like this one a bunch! I would really like to try a quilt in this "random" block placement pattern. I'm getting ready to do a quilt for my brother for Christmas and he's totally "trendy"...I'll bet he would like this pattern!

    So cute! I can't wait to see those mushrooms quilted. Do you know how that would wash? I'm wondering if that sketching would work on a quilt that isn't hung.

    This is another darling quiltet to add to your others, I'm thinking I would like to see the Little Sprout one with the binding as I think that might be one of my favorites. I do love the red and aqua fabrics you chose for this one. Kiss my grandkiddos for me as I miss them more than you could imagine!
