Hello and welcome to
my stop on Jen and Jan’s Mini hop! There’s a lot of other places to get to (links
at the bottom of the post) so I’ll go photo heavy and text light for this post.
I decided to make my
version as a charity quilt so went with pastel colours and added a border to
make it bigger.
And I added a cute
chook print on the back.
This pattern
(designed by Jen and available here for FREE!!!!) was simple and easy to use – that of course didn’t stop me
from making mistakes and I had an unfortunate skewing event when I quilted my
mini block hanging on the line, due, I think, to having my dual feed foot on
the wrong setting. Can I pretend it was supposed to be wonky?
The little bear
starring in these photos was knitted by my Mum many years ago J

How lovely to make it into a charity quilt. I can tell it's a happy house by the music leading me to the front door, all the visitors will be dancing and smiling by the time they enter the house. I zoomed in on the washing line mini and it didn't look skewed to me, maybe you were mistaken and the quilter just didn't block it, or maybe the breeze is blowing it gently on the line and you just thought it was skewed. It's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBear looks so happy with his quilt. Keeping warm from the breezy blowing the quilt on the line.
ReplyDeleteLooks like this house is ready for spring-aren't we all!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just cute and I bet it will put a smile on so many faces. I love the photo setting with the bear.😊
ReplyDeletePrecious!!! I love that you added a large border to make it into a charity quilt...love the colors!
ReplyDeleteYour house makes me want to sing and dance! It's so happy! It kind of reminds me of candy...just plain sweet!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt looks super cute in pastels! Great job, and what a wonderful thought to have made it for charity. Some little sweetie is just going to love this!
ReplyDeleteThis is really sweet in those pastel fabrics. That cute bear reminded me of a panda that I knit when I was a kid in 4-H. I had entirely forgotten about him. I wonder what became of him?
ReplyDeleteThe colors remind me of spring time and Easter. Lovely. I just love that border fabric! Dragonflies are my favorite. Thanks for joining us!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sue, this pastel mini is the sweetest! I love that music note fabric for the sidewalk and street. A truly special charity quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute quilt! Perfect for springtime.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet in pastels! I'm sure Teddy will love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very pretty version of this mini and I don't notice the wonkiness at all.
ReplyDeleteYour and your mom did a great job. I think I would leave it with Teddy. An heirloom from two generations to the third.
ReplyDeleteThere have been so many dark color schemes on this hop, but yours shouted "Spring!" to me. Great idea to turn it into a small charity quilt, too. I'm beginning to believe none of us need another UFO.
ReplyDeletethis is so sweet. I love the music road and dragon flys
ReplyDeleteA spring/summer quilt! Love the pastels and the white posts. Someone will love it, if the bear can give it up!
ReplyDeleteoh that is sooooo cute :) Perfect for a teddy bear :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I love the music (flowing from the house?). It will make someone very happy.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I love your fabric choices! I ended up with wonky windows in my house - maybe because of the quilting?! I'm not sure! But these little quilts are fun to look at no matter what!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute house! I like the music path!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make it into a little quilt and to donate it to charity is so sweet of you! Sweet also, is the bear, wow, knitted by your mum...reminds me of Paddington, and of Winnie the Pooh.
ReplyDeleteyour mini quilt is adorable,
ReplyDeleteThe mini quilt is lovely done in pastels, love the dragonflies in the border!!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty quilt, such a great idea to add borders! I love the musical path coming out of the house .... and the mini quilt on the line is just perfect! Teddy looks very happy!
