A mini right size for AAQI, but going elsewhere.

:) I needed a thank you gift so made this little bit up. It measures 8 x 11 so is AAQI size, but not going there. Crazy blocks measure 2 inches finished.

Way to go Gladie! It is beautiful. That border fabric looks like one of the Kansas Troubles line. I love everything they design.

A "big" thanks to everyone. Yes, Leslie, most are KT fabrics. Leftovers from the PPing trims I am doing for the FWS Pony Club blocks of the week featured here on the board. I timed how long this took me to make from first string to sewing on the binding; it was 5 1/2 hours with GK interruptions. Then a half hour to HS the binding--one of my favorite quiltmaking processes.

What a wonderful job you did. I love it!!

SewExtremeSeams 03-05-2012 01:55 PM

Very nice. The colors and prints go together so well! :)

dublb 03-05-2012 02:31 PM

Yes, I see those familiar fabrics! Wow what a great job. It looks planned just for this quilt!

Beautiful little thing. I love minis! Your fabric choices are perfectly scaled to this tiny wonder. Hurray for scraps! Beautiful colors too.

I had wondered ... and thought I'd asked in my original post ... guess not!! :)
It takes more time than we think to do things, doesn't it?
Look at the # hours we have put into each of the PC + FWS blocks.
*gasp* for the whole quilt!!!
Most would never understand that it'd be possible.

I'm still in awe and am ever-so-happy for the person you will be giving it to.
What a Special Thank You, you have made! :)

Thanks for the kind words, QE. I decided to see how long it takes as I am often asked how much time I have in my little ones. I have lots of little blocks that I have made up and plan layouts around those blocks. Have to get my papers all together for this afternoon's appt! (sigh)
