April Mini

I wasn't sure if I'd make a mini this month but after I saw a little quilt in one of my favorite books it all came together quickly. 


This is my go-to book when I need some little quilt inspiration.


And this is the quilt that caught my eye. 


I still had some Churn Dash blocks from Barb V's swap and pink fabric that I had picked up at our guild a couple of years ago. That's all I needed. It's 18" x 24".


I thought those zig-zags added a little interest :)  


Even found a piece for the back that was just the right size.


The label :)

 

 And here's how it looks on our table with a lovely Hyacinth from my good friend in NJ. Thank you, Renee!

Wendy will be posting her monthly mini soon so take a look and be inspired. You can always join in on the fun!

    What an absolutely adorable little mini! A great re-creation from your book of inspiration (which I had to source and order)using the resources at hand. Looks so sweet with your hyacinth. Nice work, Barbara!

    You've made a beautiful little quilt, and your label is so sweet. It will always remind you of your first days (remember the good; forget the bad!) in your new home. Your quilting looks great! ---"Love"

    I think that is my favorite doll quilt book. So many great photos.
    Your little pink churn dash is perfect for spring. Oh I wish I could smell your hyacinths.

    I love churn dash quilts, and this little mini is adorable and so perfect for your spring table. I don't think I have that book, will have to look for a copy.

    That's a great book, yes, and your interpretation is lovely. I love how you included on your label that it's the first quilt in your new home!
