Mini Swatch Quilt
A while back when I was surfing through some quilty websites I saw a thumbnail of what I thought was a stunning modern quilt. But on closer inspection it turned out to be some swatches of fabric washi-taped to a wall.
So this got me thinking…
…wouldn’t that make a cool little quilt?
So I made this mini quilt a few weeks back.
It was quick and easy to make and a great way to show off your precious fabrics, like the yellow Circa fabric in the middle (my current favourite fabric) or that purple Japanese fabric below.
I’d never quilted a grid pattern before – but I love it on this!
I am dying to make more of these, maybe one on a dark background? Or monochrome prints on a red background? I would also love to try out a full sized one soon too.
Meanwhile this one is going to be up for sale at our Quilt Exhibition which starts a week today – yikes!!
Jo it's gorgeous, such a clever idea and very effective – well done
It's great and would love to see it on a dark background. Good luck with the quilt exhibition. So wish I was closer.
Genius!! I love it! A full size one would be awesome, what a great way to use your favourite prints! I also love taping things to walls 🙂
It is such a cute idea! You are so talented!
That is lovely Jo. A great way to show off favourite fabrics.
Very clever, missus! Your grid quilting looks perfect, nice job!
Love it! So simple yet so effective very very clever!
Heh, so have you now got a Pinterest category or something too to go with it? Looks cool anyway :o)
Fun idea, and I love grid quilting.(makes me think of chocolate)
Good luck with the quilt exhibition and of course your retreat! Your miniquilt looks fab.
What a clever idea!!!
Oooh, lovely, monochrome on red would be great too
Great idea, what a lovely way to showcase all your favourite fabrics! Glad to hear you've still got time for sewing what with all preparations going on at the moment 🙂 Looking forward to seeing your next project! xx
Love it!
What a great idea! Hope it sells on the first day!
