Well, I already claim to be crazy, so showing you this shouldn't hurt my reputation at all, right?
These are left over scraps from the handles of the mini coffee cup quilt that I am working on. Most people would throw these scraps away.....and that is great! It's the sane thing to do. However, I had a feeling that they had potential. I trimmed the corners at a 45 degree angle, which produced instant fusible micro geese!
I had a lot of fun playing with different arrangements, but settled on this simple configuration. I was afraid that the quilting would distort it, but there were no problems whatsoever. Hurray!
The scraps are teeny, tiny....
...but they make a mighty fine mini quilt! I really LOVE how it turned out! It measures 14 1/2'' x 19 1/2''. It's scrap project #126!
This mini would make a good partner for my frugal gal mini quilt....and I just may turn them into a series. I'm so excited to see where that will take me! Hurray for small scraps!
Now it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thanks for joining me for finish it up Friday!
This is so stunning! I wouldn't have been able to throw away those bits either. ❤️
ReplyDeleteOh they are so cute, just so incredibly teeny tiny!! So what are you going to do with the rest off the scrap!!? How tiny is too tiny?
ReplyDeleteThis mini is too cute! I love the tiny triangles and the quilting.
ReplyDeleteoh - my - goodness!!! That is totally crazy, and totally amazing at the same time. I would have never thought to actually use such tiny pieces, you totally rocked it!!
ReplyDeleteTiny in size but enormous in cuteness!
ReplyDeleteha ha, yes, you continually live up to your name !
ReplyDeletevery nice tho, I love it too.
Love this one and your frugal mini quilt. Great together!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of scraps! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous little project - and no you're not crazy!! I love the way your binding is so exact with the dots making such neat little triangles.
ReplyDeleteVery creative use of teeny tiny scraps! Bravo! I love the negative space.
ReplyDeleteCrazy but so amazing! What huge impact these tiny scraps have against all that sweet negative space. I love this!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!! Those are some teeny, tiny geese!
ReplyDeleteWowzers! Teeny Tiny! Baby geese! Ahhh!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely insane, but also absolutely adorable! Makes me want to drag out my red scraps!
ReplyDeleteNice! I see it and any others as place mats. Which to me would be so interesting on a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. Maybe even to dress up the Sunday dinner table.
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh! I LOVE them! I keep random little pieces too. You just never know! Beautiful quilt! :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! They look so crisp in their rows. Have you seen the #miniminiquiltswap trend on Instagram? There is a lot of other fun tiny sewing inspiration there if you are interested.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea!!
ReplyDeleteThat is super sharp looking. Would also be interesting as an energetic ticker-tape quilt.
ReplyDeleteThose are super, duper, cute!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are crazy, but in an absolutely super way. These are so cute. I have many scraps like that too, and I might try this one day. Thanks for great inspiration.

ReplyDeleteThis is really cute, Amanda Jean! Such teeny tiny little pieces...
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!!! If only I'd seen this before the trash went out... the trimmings from my heart blocks would have been perfect for this!!! Next time;-)

ReplyDeleteI never keep smaller scraps. But you have me rethinking that now! This is a gorgeous little mini and it looks fabulous in red. The quilting really makes it!
ReplyDeleteYour mini mini is adorable!!

ReplyDeleteLove every inch of that little quilt!
ReplyDeletePerfect in every way! The quilting, the tiny geese, the Good Neighbors binding, it's so cute! May I ask which fusible you used?
ReplyDeleteGreat things come in small packages - it is so CUTE!
ReplyDeleteA crazy thing to do, maybe, but gorgeous! And the quilting, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am relieved to see they are fused. I thought you pieced them. THAT would be crazy but a shade of crazy that would look good on you. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour tiny geese are adorable. They look stunning on the cream background.
ReplyDeleteOMG this is so great Amanda, I almost throw away my tiny triangles, I think I'm going to make this!! thanks for sharing !!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, it's adorable! XO
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteI had just gotten comfortable with throwing away tiny leftovers. Guess I'll have to start saving everything again! Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGenius!!!
ReplyDeleteSweet!!! I save itty bitty scraps and even trimmed edges just because they look cool. The difference is you actually use them to make something fun. Mine get put into jars and bags.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
