June Mania....112 tiny pieces!

 One hundred and twelve one inch paper pieces.
Of course I had to be different....I put the color where the neutral fabrics were to go.
It's supposed to be a rainbow Ferris wheel mini.
 The reason is I had 23 one inch hexies leftover from another WIP so it was pure laziness!
 That meant only 83 pieces to baste.....one....inch....pieces!!!
  It was supposed to be trimmed up cutting those bits off the hexies.
Couldn't do that...so I appliqued it onto a 13" x 14" scrap.
I really love the puckering after washing...the green rings stand proud!
This really was a fun challenge. Thanks Leslie!!
Oh...and it's a 3rd Quarter Finish!:)
 Messed around with some other scraps showing how modern and traditional fabrics look great together.
Now they hang as little samples at the shop
Love the big hexie....hmmmmm! Do you see the little thought bubble?:)

  1. I loved the way you swapped the colours on the mini mania quilt, it looks so different. I wished you lived nearer because I would love to get a close up if that quilting........is it hand quilted?

  6. Ooo! I really like your floral rendition. The fabrics look so pretty together, and it looks like it was a nice mini for some quiet hand quilting. Love the big-stitch work on it.
