Mini Art Quilt

I made this mini art quilt for a swap on Swap-Bot. The swap was for beginners. I decided to use a fall colors and add a silk flower to it. I’m not sure why, but this has become something I like to do. Maybe because I have a bag full of silk flower cast offs from where I used to work. I was going to make a quilt with them and just haven’t gotten around to it.

The finished quilt is about 6 1/2 inches square. I used black thread to add some detail to the leaves in the nine patch blocks.

Mini Quilt

I joined a mini quilt swap on swap bot. This is the first one I have made for a swap. My partner likes 30’s material. The rules said you had to embellish it. I hope she likes it. It measures about 9 1/2 inches square (almost). I hand stitched the binding. This is new to me. Only the second time I have done this. I have a long way to go on the that.
