Today I finished a little mini quilt for the Habitat Auction coming up in April. It measures 10 1/4" x 12 1/2". It took me as long to select a border as it did to piece the top. After the two borders were attached (of course), I noticed the top four patch was turned the wrong way. I was about to rip when I saw the bottom four patch matched the top one. No ripping required!
Lori posted today about
Taryn having her own red and white online quilt exhibit in honor of Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts in New York City. Here is my red and white quilt hanging on its quilt rack. My husband purchased this for me at an auction a few years ago. I love the circles that are quilted around the outer parts of the quilt.
I love that little mini quilt , the border fabric is perfect
ReplyDeleteah the red and white, well just perfect too!
very fun that you turned both blocks!
so easy for us to do that don't you think
I hope it raises a lot of money
If I was there I would bid on it, it would look great on my wall of little quilts I am building!
