Remember yesterday when I posted about that cute little pineapples mini quilt I made for a quilt swap and how I kind of fell in love with it and don't want to give it away?
Yeah well, I decided to make a second mini quilt for the swap. And this time, I made sure to cut out a second one to keep for myself. ;) I went with a sewing machine mini quilt based off of the "Sew On & Sew On" pattern by The Fat Quarter Shop for their Snapshots Quilt Along. The pattern is a free PDF download which you can find
here.
I picked up some fabric from the local quilt shop from Bonnie & Camille's line Vintage Picnic since my partner seems to be a fan of Bonnie & Camille's fabric. It's not normally a fabric I would gravitate toward, but I really do love how these little sewing machines turned out. The fun and funky vibe that the green fabric gives the sewing machines is pretty cute and has a fun mix of feeling vintage and modern at the same time.
Simple cross hatch quilting seemed just right for these mini quilts so as not to distract from the cuteness of the sewing machines.
Yup, pretty cute all right, and I'm really glad I took the extra few minutes to cute out a second one to make along with the one for the swap. However....I felt kind of bad for wanting to keep the pineapples mini quilt for myself, so since I got both mini quilts done way before the shipping deadline, I decided to post both mini quilts on Instagram and leave it up to my partner to decide which one she wants more to come live with her. So far, she hasn't spoken up yet, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I'm lucky enough to keep the pineapples mini quilt or not. Not that I need another mini quilt or anything....
Here is a group shot of the 10 mini quilts that I made within a 12 day period. Because I'm not crazy or anything. Yup, totally normal... ;)
