Miniatures in Minutes

These are so much FUN!!!  First you need to know the finished quilts are about one foot square... yes only 12 inches total!  They are foundation pieced from the book Miniatures in Minutes by Terrie Sandelin.  Sure there are lots of little pieces, but they go together quickly and are so impressive!!!

Kaleidoscope Star Quilt

In this class we will make a Star Kaleidoscope Quilt from the book Kaleidoscope ABC's using the Marti Michell Kaleido-Ruler.  The ruler eliminates the need for templates; and techniques from the book make it possible to get perfect star center points every time! We will learn how to cut identical fabric repeats and a few tips on matching corners and points. 

Purse-sonality

  The pattern is "Purse-sonality" by Stitchin' Sisters.  It has to hidden pockets inside created by the overlapping fabrics.  I've added quilting and changed the handles from the original pattern.   If you'd like to find out more visit www.quiltingadventures.com, click on classes.  You will find "Purse-sonality" under "Bags and Purses"
