I'm making ahead for November and December! I've promised them one a month.

Hope you like looking at them!

This is loosely based on a block from "Asian Scrappy Road", which was on the cover of Quilter's World.

The center stripes are silk; the others are polyester. I cut them from a decorator's sample book. Oops, this was before the binding went on. I'll try to find the other one.

Here it is finished!

Wow, those are so cool. I especially like the woven one. That's a neat idea.

Yes!! I do this because it's fun, and because they go together pretty quickly. But there is challenge in keeping them to not more than 9" by 12", and trying to figure out what someone might want to buy.

It's black in the corners and the binding. I was trying to take pics at night using my new Ott light instead of the flash, but the colors still went off a little. You know, black is my favorite color!!

Made Quilt a Month since February, all other in $1000 Promise....20 mini quilts so far. Maybe I'll finish avatar tomorrow. Love these, can be simple or as complicated as you want. All will help the cause :)))

oksewglad 10-27-2011 05:46 PM
I haven't taken the Quilt a Month or $1000 pledge yet. I probably should as quilts 3-6 are going to Houston and I have a half dozen tops here waiting to be finished. Maybe after the New Year I will make the committment. Have several projects to be finished before then. Thanks for your commitment to Alzheimer's research.

Both are wonderful but my fave is the 1st Asian inspired one.

what are the sizes? mini doesn't tell me enough, LOL.

adnil458 10-28-2011 06:15 AM

The Asian Scrappy Road block is 9" by 9". Glad you like it!

Mariposa 10-29-2011 07:31 AM
These are neat! Great job!

Jennifer22206 10-29-2011 07:51 AM
those are great! The last 3 I sent in went missing by USPS. :( I'm making up a stack and going to be mailing them in a box. :)

Love your minis!

Oh Jennifer I am so sorry that happened. Your mini's are one of a kind. Wish I had your creativity.
