Remember those tiny scraps leftover from last month’s mini? I cut the remaining pieces into 1 x 1 ½” inch rectangles and just started piecing them together. Oh, how I love the result!

Now, I know some of you may cringe, but I cannot stand to “undo” stitches so when this happens to me, I just do a little Micron magic to cover it up.

This is gorgeous! You're right, the border fabric does tie it all together. The pieces are so tiny - I am impressed at how neat and straight they look. You managed the tiny pieces well. I think if anyone saw my in the ditch quilting, they would consider that stitches actually in the ditch were the mistake because those spaces are so rare.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we were on the same wavelength with our mini quilts this month, Wendy. Yours is adorable! I love that soft blue border print, and the red binding really snaps it in. I’m familiar with the Micron Magic trick, and use it regularly. ☺️
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling quilt!! I would have never thought of covering up the stitches that went awry- brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYour "finale" is perfect, those wonderful fabrics set off by the wide blue border. Those are some tiny tiny pieces! (I have no mini again this month!)
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is just the sweetest charmer! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the rectangular shape. It add unexpected interest. The blue border is perfect. Finale is a great name. I love it when a quilt has a story.
ReplyDeleteLove you mini. I didn't cringe a bit. I do it all the time! I was going to blog about it, but thought others might think I was being nuaghty! 😇
ReplyDeletevery pretty wendy...wow the list of mini people keeps growing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mini - made from scraps a lot of people would’ve just chucked.
ReplyDeleteOh, Wendy, I am SO proud of you!! Look at you making a beautiful little quilt out of tiny pieces! You go, girl!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I do that same thing with a Micron Pigma pen when I get too far out of the ditch--I first learned it from Lisa Bongean. And I have Micron Pens in a variety of colors, because I make a mess on more colors than black. ;)
Beautiful job, my friend.
Now I'd better go try to write my post for my monthly mini.
😍Absolutely precious Wendy!
ReplyDeleteI love your tiny mini quilt Wendy, it's just adorable. Don't worry, your pigma pen secret is safe with me ... and shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I do the same!
ReplyDelete*hugs*

Your little mini is adorable--I love that you used those tiny pieces of Betsy's fabrics! I use markers on my stray stitches too--learned to do it from Diane Gaudynski (I was so lucky to take a class from her many years ago).
ReplyDeleteso simple but I love it also......
ReplyDeleteDarling little quilt and love the beautiful border as well.
ReplyDeleteI just love your March mini and what a 'finale' it is! So so sweet. I'm a fan of the border fabric all the way around but corner stones are also favorites. Thanks for the Micron trick. I know it will come in handy!
ReplyDeleteYou have such great ideas! Nice tip about hiding stitches!!!!
ReplyDeleteWendy, Excuse me for not having written comments: I no longer receive any newsletter from American blogs.. I offer you my most sincere condolences for your mom. I kiss you very much.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish! I'm in awe of anyone with the dexterity and patience to work with pieces that small!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming little mini! love those tiny scraps.
ReplyDeleteI too employ the micron trick - works like a charm - ha ha pun intended.
