Last week I received a lovely parcel in the mail from Amy at During Quiet Time. I had seen her very cute “quilt process” mini quilts a while ago and finally got around to ordering one for me. I got a pale/baby pink and dark grey printed panel which probably wouldn’t have been my first choice in colours but I think this may have been the last one available so I was very happy with it anyway. I also bought a little “Baste” pincushion from her as my homemade pincushion is not really deep enough and I keep getting pins sticking through the bottom of it.
Amy also sent a PDF of instructions to make a mini quilt from the panel including 5 different ideas for the 3 blocks that run down the left of the quilt. So I spent this morning going through my stash for some fabrics to make up the little 4.5 inch square blocks and to use for rest of the quilt.
I am basing the quilt on the pink and grey colours of the panel and adding in a bit of yellow and darker pink so these are what I came up with: Amy Butler, Sherbet Pips, Henna garden, AMH Good Folks, DS,and some Daiwabo elephants.
