The block, which is paper-pieced, is called Homeward Bound and you can find out more about it by clicking HERE. The finished mini is about 6 1/2 x 6 1/2.
I decided to make my mini in the colors of a fall rainbow.
It's backed in the beautiful gold that I used for my Circle of Friendship wall-hanging, and bound in the red from that same fabric collection.
I think it's perfect for my favorite fall mug -
And one more shot, just for fun, nestled among my marigolds and geraniums.
Sometimes you just have to go for it when inspiration strikes! I'm glad I did.
Linking up with Cynthia's Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is More Fun than Housework today!
It's so cute, I am really liking all the mini's I see on blogland! I am afraid it might be sucking me in sometime, LOL

You have certainly captured the colours of autumn in your mini.
