Miniature Feathered Star
March 15, 2011 in Quilting
I finished my miniature quilt. It measures 17 1/2″ x 17 1/2″. It is paper pieced, so now I just have to tear out all the little pieces of paper. UGH!!

The Geese are Flying
March 12, 2011 in Quilting
A few weeks ago, in a tiny bit of a fit, I started a new miniature quilt. I was working to finish Rick’s gator quilt, and then Rick pulled out the gator blanket he bought at Wal-Mart and that did it. He didn’t deserve for me to finish his quilt so I started something new. I know, it is a bit toddler-ish, but I don’t care.
I had a paper piecing pattern for a feathered star surrounded by flying geese. Today, I finished the flying geese strips. It wasn’t hard because it was paper pieced, but it was tedious. Most days it wore on me and I would only do a few seams. But it was all cut out and was basically taking over my sewing table.
to give you some prospective, here is a pic with a quarter. They are about 1 1/2″ wide.
I just need to sew on these strips and the outside borders and I will be done.

Thank you to Patricia for sharing her completed quilt top with us. This was a block of the month she did. I love the colors and the variety of basket blocks. My favorite is the one with appliqued handles. Beautiful work Patricia.
Here is what I have gotten done on my miniature quilt. The finished size will be 8×8. All of this is hand pieced.
Here is my tote bag for the tote bag swap.
