I started this mini last week and it's one of my favorite patterns. I drew up the pattern of the size I wanted and decided I only wanted to use 1/4 of the pattern (instead of the whole half) so I could rearrange the blocks better. Now I wish I hadn't done that as the blocks would have met better. I did have to handsew the blocks and rows together to help it meet accurately. We live and we learn. This one is PP and I've included the pattern. Only half the pattern is shown. You'll need to do 2 of them and join together for a complete block. It's 2l" square and the blocks finish at 3-1/2". This one is for a baby charity and the colors are true to the camera! Hope you enjoy my mini like I do!! :-D

I absolutely do!! You forgot to put 'quilting' in your signature! It's one of the best things about retirement! I love all those other pastimes you mentioned too! Thank you, Leslie!! And thanks everyone so much! Enjoy the pattern! :-D ;) ;)

Thanks so much for the pattern! One look at your quilt, and I knew I had to make one.

I drafted the design to make 4" blocks (because I happened to have a 4 1/2" square ruler in reach). I'm thinking of sewing all 8 pieces around the block and just slashing the paper to fold and sew the last seam. Has anyone tried that?

Your welcome, Rose! I haven't tried that yet, but that is the way it is done when purchasing preprinted PP patterns (ha-what a tongue twister that one is!) say that 10x real fast, ha! Some of these preprinted PP patterns are just no slashing, but 'just fold and sew.' I would rather slash and then fold and sew because I want it to match well. But that is the standard usually. There is a 'fold' line and 'sew line.' I like the idea you have though of going around a complete circle adding the pieces. I removed the papers before joining the sections to reduce bulk. Looking forward to seeing your mini! Be sure and PM me when you post pics -- don't want to miss it!

:D :wink:

Thanks for sharing your pattern! I am hoping to do this one soon...and was trying to come up with a pattern where the pieces were wider. Quilterscache has one with thinner strips....so thank you very very much!

And I love your mini!

Thank you sooo much, luvspaper! Your welcome for the pattern. I also eliminated the corner triangles ~~ less piecing, more focus on the blocks, less clutter and faster to finish! :-D :-D 8-)
