When I had finished the picnic quilt on Saturday, I really felt like doing something small. I had seen this post over at The Quilt Room, and was inspired to give mini Bear's Paw blocks a chance. I started off with a test block that finished at 3 1/4":

And found that to be a managable size and made five more. I did a very simple on-point setting, a plain border, and then some flying geese units that finish at 1"x1/2". Last night I did the finishing touches. The quilting is not too fancy - a very simple motif and some stippling. This is how it turned out:
The finished quilt measures 12 3/4"x16 1/2". I think it's pretty cute; and it was so much fun to do! I have a feeling there will be more minis made :o)

Very nice. I have not tried the mini's yet, but see so many on the blogs that are inspiring me to give it a whirl.
Den ble kjempe søt. Bear Paw er en stor favoritt her i huset :o) Smart å ta inn Flying Geese blokker - det passet sammen fint :O) Morro å få mulighet til å se hva du lager, du har så mange forskjellige typer quilts.
Nydelig miniatyr du har laget, jeg var så heldig å få se den live på vis og fortell i Lørenskog :)
Oh this does but inspire me. It makes an impression on me. A superb creation. I enjoyed clicking on the photo, spying your fabrics (pretty) and being impressed by your quilting. Things thrivin' over at your house.
