my small world is my original design with inspiration coming from Jen Kingwell. It's made with left-overs (orphan blocks) of all my favorite quilts, as well as a lot of my favorite fabrics.
It was such a fun process. I just kept moving pieces around until I liked what I saw.
I'm not very good at following patterns
(or rules for that matter, ha ha). I often change things around and end up with extra pieces which land in a bucket called "left-overs".
these blocks are from
african safari
these star blocks in sweetwater's reunion are left over from
this quilt
log cabin squares from
monaluna ellie
these awesome arrows, come from
this quilt
more stars from
here
these stair step mini blocks are made from
this quilt
these pinwheels are left over from
this quilt.
this piece came from a
bunting
Heather Ross sightings . . .
It will be fun to make another "my small world" a few years from now with more blocks I've collected. Thanks to
JenKingwell for the inspiration. A pattern is now available if you want to make Jen's "my small world". It's beautiful.
linked up to the festival . . . actually, I missed the deadline so, go vote for your favorites
here.
This is a great choice for the festival. I love this quilt and all the gorgeous fabrics you have used.
ReplyDeleteI love your small world quilt. It really makes me wish I had some orphan blocks so that I could make one.
ReplyDeleteSO fun!!! i love how you adapted the idea from ms. kingwell. i didn't get that magazine issue so i don't have the pattern. but it looks like i don't need it! i can just put together my own small world. wonderful idea! and so many great little touches.
