It's a finish

The beauty of mini quilts is that finishing them can often be a lot faster than big quilts. I spent a lovely few hours doing the hand quilting and binding on this little one over the weekend (13" square). It's actually a slightly variegated indigo/navy, left over from a previous project, but it's very hard to capture the colour day or night. The quilting was a little challenging because I put very very light interfacing behind the white so no blue would show, and it made it harder work with the needle through. Luckily no one will look at the back!
 

 

I'm very happy with how my mini wall is looking.
 

A happy sewing start to the working week!

  2. Oh I love a small project; it's so satisfying finishing something and not adding to the (my) ever growing UFO pile! Your mini is gorgeous and the quilting divine and it looks stunning with all the others on your "mini wall".
