I was asked by Janice Holton over at Color Creating and Quilting to participate in a mini quilt blog hop! The free pattern is adorable, but I admit that I am more of an appliquer than a piecer. It's not that I can't piece it's just that sometimes I find applique faster.
I also decided to make a mini mini quilt. It was supposed to be 16 by 16, but mine is only 8 by 8. I dug into my new box of Island Batiks fabrics I received as an Island Batik Ambassador and had a blast playing!
I knew the house had to be purple. When I was little my favorite color was purple and I just wanted to live in a purple house. There was one in the next town over that was lavender and I got excited every time we drove by!
Above is detail of my tree. I didn't feel like finding a leaf fabric so I just quilted leaves inside it and lots of brown lines on the trunk.
Since I love to applique I knew I wanted to make an applique quilt for the clothes line. This little quilt measures 2 1/8 inches total. Those orange peels are only 1/2 inch! It was fun to play with the design. I find my self coming back to it again and again.
I am ready for spring so I had to quilt in some flowers.
And my purple house complete with quilted in curtains in the windows and brick quilting on the chimney.
The back with all the quilting. It's fun to see over that fun batik print!
Here are the rest of the participants. They're so fun to see.
