Small, Smaller, Smallest Blog Hop!

Today is the day, to finally be able to share with you my first ever blog hop piece, i ordered these beautiful fabrics a while ago from Sew Hot and this was the perfect project to use them for…

These fat quarters were taken from the Peppered Cottons range .  “These are yarn-dyed shot cottons, meaning the weft and warp are two different colors, giving each color a unique look. These shot cottons are a heavier weight that others on the market and thus have earned their standing as a ‘favorite’.”

Really lovely to work with, I laid out my pattern and chose my favouite stitch  – blanket stitch.

Each square got small, smaller, to the smallest, as they spread to the outer edge, and also  the over lap decreased on each square too.

The wording i wanted to use from the gorgeous fabric ‘sew it!, quilt it! love it! in purple by Amy Hamberlin of Kati Cupcake Pattern Co was slightly smaller then i needed to start off the big square, so i mounted this.

cute hey!…

I blanket stitched this mini quilt using the gorgeous thread from Gutermann, colour number 662.

For the backing i used a small piece of grey blender, and some floral fabric from craftcotton , that i had left over in my scraps, and after quilting the middle square, i bound the quilt with some baby pink binding.

I’m so pleased with how this turned out…

  1. What a fun scrappy project using those beautiful fabrics! I love applique and do a lot of it, so this really caught my attention. The way you organized it from small to smallest was very clever…love it! Thanks for joining in the hop!

  2. So pretty – and a great interpretation of the theme here by cutting small, smaller and smallest blocks! I really love the look and feel of shot cottons, too. But that Kati Cupcake word fabric is just delightful! Brilliant!
