Very nice minis and enjoyed your story.

Well those are cute. They look good hanging there. Great idea.

Sheri R, Love your quote above about letting the "middle sag". Ha! Actually, I could add (for me) "like so much of your torso."

Great job!!! All are pretty! I bet the kids love them too. All three of them!

nicely done... i like the middle one the best.

The middle one was the first lap quilt, and the last mini quilt... I used a piped binding that our instructor had sent me a link to... maybe...probably...from this site. Anyway, the tutorial was easy to follow and I do think it makes the quilt a stand out.

Very pretty. I don't have patience to do mini's. You have done a great job on them.

Thank you. I had just enough scraps to do these, and besides at the initial concept stage I needed so much practice on getting my 1/4 inch seams to be consistent. Since minis are less forgiving, it seemed a good discipline.

Thank you. I can hardly wait for the more distant sons to come in and notice them. Of course, with sons, they may notice or not, and never say a word. LOL

I kept construction of these under wraps until now, except my daughter caught me in the act (without comment). I think she may have thought I was making them to give to her, but (surprise, surprise) I was not!
