NYB Mini Quilt


My NYB Mini quilt is finished!
My friend has a beautiful farm for photos --
and she didn't think it was too strange
 that I got out my camera
 and asked for tape right after we arrived
-- she's a quilter, too!
So while the kids fed her chickens,
we took quilt photos!
This mini quilt uses the NYB block 4 template.
I used some of my precious scraps
of Katie Jump Rope fabric
 to make it bright and sunny!
I absolutely love the KJR yellows!

(quilt back)


And here is where this quilt now lives,
in our back entryway,
a sunny burst of color welcoming us home.
I love it!

    Michelle, it's so wonderful and cheery. Had you done curves before or was this a first?

    Cute little quilt! I love the circles around the block the way they're farther apart as they are closer to the edges. Great job!

    I just love your quilt block!! Hope you don't mind, I have it pinned on my Sewing Inspiration board on pinterest:) I wish Katie Jump Rope was still available, but maybe they'll bring it back like Flea Market Fancy - I hope!

    oh my gosh!! that is amazing!! if i was really brave i'd cut into my KJR. that is my absolutely favorite fabric line ever. i've never seen a quilt with that brown flower print was used in such an appealing way. thank you for the inspiration.
