Monday Minis Update

I've been having fun all summer sewing along with Temecula Quilt Company and their Marvelous Mini Mondays!  It has at times been a challenge to sew with such tiny pieces, but I've been pretty happy with my results.


Most of the blocks have had a traditional center block that measures 2 inches, then surrounded by two 1 inch borders.  You can see below that this block turned out a bit wonky after I added the borders - 


but I'm just going to be okay with that because, after all, these little bits and pieces are leftover from who knows what that I would not have used otherwise!

Last week we made a log cabin block that I really like!


I've made a total of 17 blocks so far, and I'm thinking 16 would make a nice mini of some sort.  We were supposed to make five 36 patch blocks, but I've only made 2 of them.  I'm hoping the suggested setting will be shown soon so I can make a decision about whether or not I will make the rest of the 36 patch blocks!  


I'm enjoying these colors and working on getting a balance of orange, turquoise, light blue, and lime green throughout.  Hmmm - if we need sashing, what might work?  I'll be thinking about that!

    Those tiny blocks are fantastic. I absolutely am in love with the color palette that you've got going there. I can't wait to see how you decide to put the together. Happy sewing! Andrea

    Those teeny blocks are so sweet, they will be well worth the time once all of the blocks are done. I'll wonder along with you as to what the setting might be. BTW, I think 36 patches for a 4" block is 32 too many for me.
