well the top is done... here are some photos... I have learned several things from doing a mini... I would starch fabric first next time.... You may notice some of the centers are perfect... with minis.... there is no room for error in cutting or sewing.... I was excited to get this done... and even though I unsewed several times.... still some error.. not sure about the squaring up either.. I didn't have a book, so any suggestions for this would be appreciated... Why did my light and dark purple border pucker?? any suggestions... great. this is the first of many I am sure. Such fun. How do I quilt it.... please advise.
