Look what i did while we were sitting around last night! I raided my scrap bucket, pulled some vintage sheet scraps and made the teeny tiniest quilt ever! Look how little it is next to the quilt foot!!!
I just wanted to see if it would work....would cutting fabric into 1 inch squares make me want to scream or would it make something way too cute! I had been thinking about doing this for a while but last night the moment hit me and I just went for it.
And little did i know that i was making the perfect sized quilt for my little quilting buddy.
I hand quilted it in under 5 minutes...the binding is what took some time. It measures nearly 3 inches square. There were lots of fiddly bits but the cuteness factor made it totally worth it.
*** check out the other mini quilt i made this week...i shared it for sew and tell over at Amylouwho's. Hello to anyone here saying hello from V and Co...thanks for stopping by**

Super adorable! I've never seen such a tiny quilt!
oh my goodness! I love it! How did you do the binding so small??
How fun! It is so cute being held by your little buddy!!!
And the teeny binding! They would make cute tree ornaments.
Hey Stranger!
Your mini quilt is too cute! Let's get together soon!

That is just so sweet. Love your scrappy sew and tell Friday BTW
Super cute! Why is it the smaller they are the harder they are to bind?? Table runners make me quiver!
Aww, I can't see any of your photos today except for the top one with your machine. Sounds adorable though, and a quick sense of satisfaction at doing something that's been on your mind for awhile !
hi there, I'm here to catch up! I was in NY at my grandma's. Sorry I missed Chris' call from Joann's. I have been 'out of the loop' for a couple weeks. I have lots of catching up to do, but figured I'd start with your bloggy since it's one of my favorite places :) Definitely beats laundry, that's fo' sure!
a perfect size for a wee hummingbird- if only your friend modeling it will share ;) Very sweet idea!
Oh it's very very cute indeed. Love it :)
Love it! I think this would make an awesome tree ornament!
Very cute little mini quilt! And maybe I'm the only one, but your quilting buddy looks a little creepy to me... Maybe it's just the lighting in the photos. :-)
I love working with small bits of fabric, but the binding is a witch to deal with!
Your mini is lovely!
This tiny quilt is the cutest ever! You are so talented and create the most beautiful quilts!
