June Mini

Use 'em up!


This month's mini was put together in no time at all. I have lots of pre-cut scraps in varying sizes so it was just a matter of picking and choosing. The finished quilt is 14-1/2" x 17-1/2".


It was so easy to take even large triangles, sew them together, and trim to 3-1/2" for the blocks (3" finished). And I always have 1-1/2" x 3" strips on hand that I could use for the border (1" x 2-1/2" finished).   


Nothing fancy on the back. Sometimes I go with a piece just because it's the right size :)


Then I hung it with two others in my sewing room to enjoy!    

Thanks, Wendy, for keeping us going! And while you're visiting make sure you check out her fabulous "Community Supper" Covid quilt :) 

On another note . . . 


I just finished quilting Dear Daughter so now I can move on to the binding. Yay! 


See you next week!

  1. Now that is my kind of mini! I love everything about it. Quick and scrappy and beautiful! I spy some of my favorite prints in there too. Thanks for another great mini. I will post and link later today. Your Dear Daughter quilt is stunning. It must feel wonderful to be at the binding stage. And, your bouquet is so sweet. Oh how I love wild flowers.

  2. Love it! Quilts made with scraps on hand are the ones that draw me in the most, and this one is loaded with charm. Your Dear Daughter is spectacular!

  4. I recognize a lot of those fabrics. Those scraps all worked out perfectly. Dear Daughter is fabulous. All of that quilting! The yellow sashing just makes the blocks pop.
