Smallest Scrap Quilts


Today's is my stop on the small, smaller, smallest blog hop hosted by Carol @ Just Let Me Quilt.

For my first mini, I decided to play with those little extra triangles that I was trimming off blocks.  The end result is a little wonky (which is what I'll name this quilt).   The HST finish at 1/2 inch and the overall mini is 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 ''.

A Little Wonky
Interesting enough, the photo above appears about true to size on my computer!

Now what should I have been using to make my mini quilt?  A little sewing machine!


This mini finishes at 6 x 4 1/2 ''.  I just love the aqua color. Wouldn't it be fun to have a machine a color other than white?   To make this mini, I created a paper piece pattern and then fussy cut a scrap of Blueberry park to add placement of designs in certain areas.


Thanks for stopping by - now please go visit  the other wonderful quilters I am sharing today with -

Have a wonderful day! Patty

    So small! I can't believe you were able to get those little HST's that small...wow! The sweet aqua sewing machine is adorable, and yes, I would love my white machine to be that color. Thank you, Patty, for hopping along with us and sharing your sweet small projects!

    Love these minis! Someone should definitely come up with a way to customize sewing machines in favorite colors! (maybe there already is, but I don't know it.)

    You actually found a perfect use for those teenie tiny little triangles. Very impressive. Yes, a machine that color would be great, as is that mini.

    Great idea to use the leftover trimmings for a really small quilt - excellent. The machine is sweet, too; what a wonderful way to remember the hop.

    Love those projects, I really like the aqua on the white for the sewing machine pattern. I would never have thought to put two light fabrics like that together and it really is quite nice. Thank you for sharing your projects today.
