I had these leftover large hsts and sewed them together randomly. As luck would have it I pulled out this old alphabet fabric and what do you know--it was the right scale and measurement to frame the hsts. So I laid them right on top and added selvage strips to make up the 1/2" difference all around.
After stitching everything on the front I cut out the back behind the hsts.
Here's a detail of the selvage strips on the left . . .
. . . and on the right.
Diagonal line quilting 1-1/4" apart . . .
. . . and the back. Ta-da!
I see Wendy's posted her mini here. Isn't it the cutest??
Enjoy your week!
