One down - eleven to go!



Here is my first “monthly installment” of mini quilts.

Since I am doing my ModaBlockheads sew-a-long in the “potholder method”, I had this little bag of leftover bindings. There are 48 weekly blocks, so I cut one 1 ¼” square off the end of each strip and added the off white and voila! Easy peasy. 

I hand quilted the border following the serpentine, but it doesn’t show in the photo. 

Next Wednesday (January 31) will be the final Moda Blockheads block. It has been fun to follow along. There are countless interpretations. I mostly follow by the designers Blogs, but there are far more examples on the Facebook page.


On to my February mini!

  1. What a sweet little quilt. I love the fabric in the border. It must feel good to have the first finish done and have it tun out so nice.

  2. #1 is awesome. What a great way to get started with your goal. And then to have another quilt almost finished as well. I love the little serpentine border print. I think I still have a small piece of that. :@)

  6. Neat that you saved the left over binding strips. I probably wouldn't have but can see how useful they are.
