very cute-both are awesome

Very cute! How do you get the blocks to POP off the quilt like that? They look 3 dimentional! Very nice!

Hi Ronda, I love your mini quilts. What is that you have done with the purple and white one? Your little squares look raised. Beautiful! :-D

Oops... sorry, I just now read that you explained everything on page 2. ...will read! :thumbup:

Both are very pretty. Nice work.

I've read everything posted and have a question? what type of batting?

You are a genius!!

These are gorgeous. Looks like fun too. I may need to make quilts that size so I would get them finished and not have so many UFOs.
Yeah, right! I have come to the conclusion, if you're a quilter, you are destined to have UFOs. LOL!

That second one, the mosaic, looks very well done. Seems as though it would be good for baby, young child, older child, etc. Thanks for sharing. Love the quilt.

you just gave me a great idea!

:P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
So glad to see others supporting the Alzheimer's Auctions!

Several of you have asked what I did to make the squares "pop". I used a very low loft batting, but not warm and natural...that's a tiny bit too low...I then proceeded to quilt between the squares and rectangles...which make them appear to pop! I will take and post a couple more pictures to see if it's easier with pics.

Yep, please. I'd love to see them.

Here are pictures of the back and a closeup of the front, to give you a better understanding of what I did. Thank you all for you kind words and encouragement!

Two cuties :)

Thanks for the pictures. Do you think the edges of the applique will hold up well in the washing machine? I think I'm going to give this one a try!!

Little beauties!

Gorgeous minis. I especially love the 2nd one.

It is so amazing how all your line meet up on the back. Not mines. I guess I need more practice.

love them both.

Doesn't using up small scraps of fabric on minis make you feel GREAT?!?! Love the balancing act of the second quilt, but BOTH are beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you for being so kind to take the time to share how you did the lovely one on the bottom. It is just amazing and what a super good idea.

I love both. The first would be a fun way to keep "a piece" of quilts made and gifted. Yes, a relative newbie here. Can you share the patterns or names of?
Thanks.

Love the simple quilting done on the second one. Good work.

Great job there lady! I didn't see the second one the other day-were you hiding it? ;)

Both are very nice. I especially like the 2nd one.

Thanks for the close ups...It's on my list for the next "doll quilt" swap...Love it...

LOL! I hadn't made it yet! :)

To the person who asked about how the mini will hold up to repeated washings...this won't be washed repeatedly...it's not that type of quilt. You would of course want to applique it more sturdily if you are going to actually use it as a doll quilt instead of artwork on your wall. Hope that makes sense?

Very nice.

This quilt was inspired by a DQ on page 33 of the May Swap and another project I had seen on a different site...:)

Yes, it makes perfect sense. I've been looking for a good project for a wall hanging, so I've got one. Thanks!

I like them too....after really messing up on a bigger quilt, I have vowed not to make any more big ones so wondering what do you do with smalled (mini) quilts aside from hanging them on walls ?

Thanks for sharing and your second quilt is so cute.
Great technique and time consuming. Good job.

Both are beautiful

Use them on tables...table toppers...

Both of them are very nice.

Thanks for the close ups of the front and back. This one mini quilt that I like!

Both are great but the second looks like an organized collage and is fantastic! Great job.

They both look great but I really like the 2nd one.

Both quilts are lovely, but the second one remind me of spring.

They look like they are 3D. Do you have a shadow strip under each one?
