Yep, I could have never made these minis without the total creative efforts of the Bitty Block Committee!!:) Making all those different 3.5" squares is not going to happen but making 12 of the same thing each month and trading is awesome!:)
February's theme was words/text...everyone had a lot of fun with these. I really wanted to make a word with my bitties...one of the blocks was LOL! Perfect!;)
April's theme was sewing. I had an extra measuring tape and was inspired. This mini ended up being 36 1/2" tall....perfect for a quick measurement. The bow at the top is a piece of measuring tape ribbon graciously given to me by the lovely Amy...perfect topper!
In May we were cool and hip with a 60s retro theme. I kept this one simple using some of the extra fabric generously sent by Spiced Coffee and Friedazzzz. I made some easy square in square blocks to go with the bitties to make this groovy little piece!
To always remember who sent each block I make sure the backing fabric is light enough to use a Sharpie and note on the back of each square where it came from...so thank you....Crazyfun01

for being wonderful, creative and generous swappers...I have learned a lot from all of you! A big thank you to all the other wonderful folks of the Bitty Block Committee....go check them out!;)
I still have a stack of wee houses, trees and veggies gone wild to make into minis but in the mean time....
...here is another sneak peek of my secret project!;)~d
Wow, you sure have been productive lately. Have you had time off of work or were you just super determined as of late? I am glad that you were able to use the tape measure ribbon! I love the sewing mini. I wanted to join that group but I talked myself out of it! They all look great. Still love that unicorn!
ReplyDeleteTerrific job putting these together! Thanks for including me!
ReplyDeleteOh, cool! We love the music fabric in the mane and tail. :) Fun mini quilts!
ReplyDeletelookin' good Dee. Keeping cool with the hot sewing machine you've got going? Miss you.
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful! Sounds like a fun group to be in.
ReplyDeleteits so fun to see finished quilts of our blocks...I'm still at the stage where they live in a box and I take them all out regularly to pet them :)
