mini trees!
Do you ever get one of those ideas that rattle around in your brain that just won't quit until you try it out? That's exactly what happened with these mini trees. I would think about them before falling asleep, when I woke up in the morning, when cooking lunch. After several days, I figured enough was enough and I finally gave the idea a go.
There was much squealing of delight when I made the first one. My kids squealed right along with me, which was a bonus. :)
I made 6 blocks.
Then 9.
Then I turned them into a mini quilt. I absolutely love it!!! Thankfully we have a fresh coat of snow today for photography purposes. (Ha!) The mini measures 15.5" x 23" and the pattern is in progress. Hurray for fun ideas that work!
Happy Monday to you!

ReplyDeleteI love this little quilt! Im so happy that you're making a pattern for it,
ReplyDeleteWhat a novel idea! One or two made into Christmas tree ornaments! Or to use as gift tags. Oh wait, put in small frames and write names on the glass for place setting at the table.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like these.
OMG - isn't that brilliant! Looks just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love these too!! Way to go!! You always do cute things. Thanks for all the inspirations.

ReplyDeleteI got so excited when I saw your e-mail. These are SOOOOO adorable! I was thinking about making a Christmas quilt but was struggling with what design. I love this! Thank you for your wonderful ideas.
ReplyDeleteLove the trees! Your choice of colours is inspiring as well. It's a good challenge to think about using more colours than just holly red and forest green.

ReplyDeleteI love these! Think I'll use your idea and make some to be one side of a mug rug....we always have a Holiday swap at work and these would be perfect! Thank you :-) have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteAmandajean,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous and very cute.
Great ideals for use of this so christmassy ideal:a cushion front, or even to hang them from your shelf above the fire once made into a christmas banner with perhaps even stars too! Or even they could be used as your own hand made christmas cards. So many opportunities. I love them. So much fun. Now you've got me thinking!!!!!! Thanks for sharing Julie B. Adelaide Australia.
I love the picture of you and your little ones squealing with delight together! The joy of the season!
ReplyDeleteI love "middle of the night" inspiration. It's why my cutting and ironing tables are not in my sewing room (which is in my bedroom sitting area)
ReplyDeleteWay cute!!! Going to give them a try.
