So here we are in the bloghop phase of the Modern Mini Quilt Challenge being run by Jennifer at Ellison Lane and today it is my turn to inspire you all with all the mini quilts I've made. I've just made a straight old gallery of all the minis I've made and you can find tutorials or quiltalongs for a few of them in the tutorials and quiltalongs link in the sidebar on the right.

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing them all grouped like this Lynne. And the group of 3 on a line with the black and white trees - those are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the inspiration!
Have I told you that I love everything you make?
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to pick a favorite! I love how diverse they all are. You are no one note wonder. You are just a wonder.
ReplyDeleteI might have to claim the initially unloved by its owner mini as my favorite just because it has a little place in my heart. How dare she not even open the box!! So that one must be my favorite. I would open that box a 1000 times.
my poor pidley post next week will look frightful in comparison. I am glad most people might forget we are in the same blog hop by next week. Your minis are so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteYour minis are very inspirational! They all look so fun and beautiful! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have made some wonderful minis. I am so inspired by you! Thanks for sharing your quilts.
ReplyDeleteI am seriously jealous! I really, really like the tree. I can see embroidered names of family there. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou're a mini genius!
ReplyDeleteSeeing them all together is just fabulous. I love each one you have made.
ReplyDeleteYour minis are amazing! Asking the same question as Nicolette: Do you ever SLEEP???
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that whole collection, especially the comic strip style ones
ReplyDeleteWow, your minis are fabulous. I am still trying to come up with some idea that is different.
ReplyDeleteGreat little colection! But I do love that new one!
ReplyDeleteAlways inspiring, Lynne. Don't know how you do it, but please don't stop! :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beauties with us.
So inspiring! Love the circle and triangle ones...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of inspiring minis! I especially love the night & day one, and the last one that looks like the British flag. You've been one busy girl!
ReplyDeleteOhh it's so nice to see your beautiful mini quilts gathered in one post like this! Each and every single of these shows your amazing skills at combining fabrics, immaculate piecing, and coming up with very unique and beautiful patterns!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be said your minis are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteLynne, These are absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the skiers and the black color wheel. I may have to be inspired by both :)
ReplyDeleteI must ask, though: on the skiers, how did you do the grid in the center circle and then the circular quilting around it? I'm just trying to figure out how to best start/end quilting in the center of something.
Your minis are absolutely stunning! You could have your own show! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you work outside the standard square/rectangle design!
