Jennifer at Ellison Lane Quilts is hosting a “Modern Mini Challenge” and if you haven’t stopped by, you NEED to! I adore mini quilts and there are so many beauties in the link-up.
I decided to link-up my sweet, little pot-holders that I made over Christmas for a swap (my readers may remember seeing these before). The pattern is by Alyssa at Pile O Fabric and I scaled it down, left out the sashing and sewed all the triangles together.
This was really a labor of love, because the pieces were so tiny and once I sewed them together, there was a HUGE bubble in the middle where all the seams meet (since they were never supposed to be sewn together that way). I almost gave up , but once I quilted and steamed them within an inch of their life, they looked great. You can see that the right one is warped a little in the middle, but I compensated when I made the one on the left, and it is straighter.
I made a pocket in the back and used some cute Sheri Berry Christmas fabric from my stash.
I said it in the original post, but I STILL want to make an entire quilt out of these blocks!
Thanks for stopping by!
Gorgeous- I love these!
those are so cute and I love the way you finished the backs.
Those pot holders are great! I’m sure it took some read dedication to stick with such small pieces. 🙂 You should hop over and link these up at Needle and Thread Thursday. I just started it today and for quilting/sewing!

They are wonderful! An entire quilt would be beautiful. Good luck in the challenge. I’d say you have a great chance of winning.

Oh my this is fantastic! I’m so envious.
These are really lovely and the fabric on the back is the perfect finish!
These are just beautiful. Gem-like. I also like the shape of the hand pocket in back.
These are fantastic!
These are just beautiful, front and back! Fabulous colors!
Thanks for entering the Modern Mini Challenge! Those are stunning and yes, would be FAB as a whole quilt.
Stunning! The colors are gorgeous!
These still amaze me! You are right, they would be gorgeous as an entire quilt, but I’m thinking the potholders might even be more than I can handle!
These are awesome. Love the colors and the shape and your quilting is perfect on them.
