Another finish for January! This is the mini version of the Swoon Quilt by Thimble Blossoms.
The individual blocks are 8 inches finished. There were lots of points to avoid chopping off and lots of seams to match.... it really challenged me! A good exercise in precise cutting and perfect 1/4 inch seams (if you look closely you'll see I still have a ways to go! I did my best). It was fun to make totally out of my scrap bin. Do you enjoy making minis too?
I love minis. I don't understand how to make a regular pattern into a mini. Any suggestions?

I love making mini's! Your mini Swoon just makes me SWOON! So gorgeous. Great job Ellen!
ReplyDeleteI love this little mini and it looks great! This one make me want to get one done very soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable! I love this pattern! I have the full size version, which I have not made yet, but someday. I think it's awesome that you made it all out of scraps.
ReplyDeleteI love minis too and can't wait to try my own mini Swoon. Yours looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute - I like the colors!
ReplyDeleteBah. From this distance, it looks perfect! Wanna make one for me?? Gives you more mini practice. ;)
ReplyDeleteEllyn, your mini swoon is awesome!! I really love it. I've been dying to try one or two of Camille's minis - especially the umbrellas, since I'm originally from Seattle. I think it would be a hoot to make one for my sister for her birthday since she always complains about the rain. But your swoon is very tempting. I just might have to dig in that scrap bin. Heaven knows I have enough of them.
