Default Ever made a mini quilt?

Our quilt guild has an auction to sell mini-quilts during our Quilt Show (every other year). They said in our meeting this week that they needed some more, so I decided to give it a try.

I tell you, I have learned a lot. I have learned that I need to be VERY precise in both my 1/4 stitches and my ironing. I have also gotten very acquainted with my seam ripper. But it is kind of fun.

I started to make one, then didn't like how my fabrics looked together, so I turned one into two. And then my sister showed me a pattern I might want to try, and I did want to try...

So, here is where I am. I have one top finished and two on my design wall waiting to be finished. All three are purple, though the top right one looks deep blue in the picture.

They may not be true miniatures. I think those are supposed to be more traditional and complicated patterns, but maybe they will bring in a bit of money for the guild.
