My Chevron Mini
After seeing a number of chevrons, I just had to give it a try! This one is 8x10 and looks good hung either way. Here's my 2 patterns for it if you want to try -- a left side and a right side! It's not necessary to get your fabric exactly on the line. I just drew the lines as a guide to help me keep the angles straight sewing the different width prints on. It looks more natural when different width strips are used. Hope you enjoy my mini and please give it a try!!

I forgot to mention that I also intentionally offset the strips to avoid having them meet precisely. When they do meet head-on, they do show off their depth better but the variety of the width of the strips will make up for it in the depth it creates. When I started panel #4 (top pic), I started with the wide orange strip so panel 3 and 4 wouldn't meet head-on. Makes it simpler to do the mini this way and easier!!
I was disappointed with this mini and thought my next try will be even better now that I've done one. I also think 3 panels would've been nicer than adding the 4th.
A whole large size quilt could be done by making the panels wider and longer. Lots of possibilities!! Your welcome, G!!
