I love making mini quilts! And I am excited to share with you my completed Sunny Days Mini Quilt!
Why do I love mini quilts? I love creating and trying new techniques. A mini quilt gives me the option to trial something different and "test the waters" so to speak to see if I like the style of quilting. Usually I will trial different colour combinations, a new idea for piecing or even just a different thread colour in the quilting to see how it blends with the fabric. The benefit is then I do not waste time with thinking I have to finish a large quilt when really maybe there is something I am not quite sure about. A mini quilt gives me the opportunity to then move the new skill onto a larger quilt. Or put it aside and give myself the freedom to move forward if I want to try something else next time.
This Sunny Days Mini Quilt Pattern was a fun and fast pattern to test which was written by Bev from @flamingotoes - click here for more info from Flamingo Toes - she is a true crafter at heart with lots of ideas for quilting, sewing, embroidery and cross stitch.
The Sunny Days Mini Quilt pattern will be released soon! Watch her Instagram @flamingotoes for more details
Quilting: by me on my Janome @janome.uae I used my Janome 6700P and I love the serpentine/wavy stitch, I just left it on the regular settings and did not change the length or width for this project. I really like how it turned out.
Fun Fact: Sunny Dubai - did you know that in 2019, Dubai had 38 rainy days in Dubai, this was up from 14 in 2018. No wonder we all get so excited when it rains. (
