July Aug Sept Mini Quilts

I'm finally catching up on the monthly mini quilts...here are July, August, and September. All are scrappy, machine applique.

May Flowers

May mini-quilt of the month. I'm really enjoying this block of the month club this year. The mini quilts are going to make the best Christmas gift for one of my daughters-in-law. I've been posting them in my facebook album and she comments on them each month. I have to laugh when I read her comments because I know she is going to love her Christmas present!! Again made mostly from scraps that I had on hand; but I bought 2 fat quarters for the borders and backing. They are perfect for this month's mini-quilt. I used machine applique.

April Showers

Here is the April selection for the mini quilt BOM that I belong to. I really had fun making this one because the fabrics in my stash were just perfect! I also love making these mini quilts because I love to do machine applique, use scraps, and I'm going to have a super Christmas gift for someone at Christmas time!

Mini Quilt BOM Jan thru March 2012

Linda — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:57:05 GMT

I joined a mini quilt BOM club while I was in Arizona. I didn't start them till I got back home to Ohio because I kept thinking of fabric in my stash. It only took me a weekend to finish the 3 months. All 3 are made from scraps and are machine applique. By the end of the year there will be a mini quilt for each month. I think it would make a nice Christmas gift for one of my daughters-in-law. I'll have to toss a coin to determine who gets them!

Trellis Garden

Linda — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 16:49:40 GMT

I'm calling my version of this quilt "Trellis Garden". It is for my 7th grandchild, Cora who was born September 12, 2011. The pattern comes from the September/October 2011 McCall's Quilting issue and is called "I Believe in Pink". It is a scrappy quilt using snowball and star blocks. The butterfly flight paths and antennae are hand embroidered. The butterflies and flowers are machine applique on my version. My machine applique is also part of the quilting process. The rest of the quilting is stitch in the ditch to follow the trellis which I extended out into the borders.

Scrappy Oopsie Daisy

This is an excellent pattern for using up scraps. I hand quilted this quilt. If I ever make it again, I will machine quilt. My fingers are still healing! I must say, however, I love the quilt!

Fall, Pumpkins, Crows

This is a small wall hanging that is in my kitchen. It doesn't take long to make. It's all machine applique which is also the quilting.

9 Lives of the Whyte Kat - Corner Block

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 10:28:23 GMT

I just had to show you the corner block. It doesn't show well in the photo of the whole quilt and I think it's so cute!

9 Lives of the Whyte Kat

Linda — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 10:23:56 GMT

A Fons and Porter pattern called "Feline Frenzy". I named my version "9 Lives of the Whyte Kat" since the quilt was given to a friend who has a white cat. She is always telling of his adventures and I think he's used up his 9 lives! This is a paper pieced pattern, but goes quickly. I machine stitched the whiskers and machine appliqued the nose, eyes, and words. Actually the words were not part of the pattern. The quilt is machine quilted. It is also made completely from scraps except for the backing.
