What happens when you have white squares left over from a baby quilt, and small bits of scraps from a sampler quilt? You start a mini quilt of course!
I have been enjoying hand appliqueing the pumpkin seed shape for a while, and my technique has improved quite a bit. So I wondered how it would be to make a smaller seed block.
Scraps + Wondering = a new mini quilt!

that pic is so cute! I'm stitching some Ahhhh's, but almost done with it so only 10min in the car I think.
Her variation is cute ! Happy Mother's Day to you ! :) Though I didn't do a specific-to-slow-stitching post this week, I'll get some quilt tying done this morning. Doing a little each day on a patchwork quilt for a little girl :)
Adorable! Everything small is cuter.
Very cute! Love her variation - I may have to make some more...
Love the motherhood human resources photo! So true.
Happy Mothers Day! I'm not sure if I'll get any slow work done today ... but I will be a slow stitching queen over the next 2 weeks! ;-)
Yes applique does change with the size and shape of things. Luckily the more we practice the better we get. No slow stitching today, but I might find some time to start preparing the next the Baltimore Garden block. Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day! :0)
They are lovely! How great that wondering can lead to such happy productivity!

Tiny little Pumpkin seeds! So cute! I love this block. Can't wait to see what you will make out of these! Enjoy!
What an awesome idea! Love your creativity!
It appears that pumpkin seeds can be addicting. Your Mother's Day cartoon is perfect.
I love the little Pumpkin Seeds! They are cute! I hope to do a little stitching this evening, we have gone all day. Happy Mother's Day!!
I am loving those diminutive pumpkin seed blocks!
And I got a giggle from that cartoon--so true, so true! : )
I am in the process of stitching a hexie butterfly, if I finish I will have a go at linking it if I can follow the instructions
That cartoon made me laugh out loud! too true!!!
Your new mini quilt is looking great! There's a lot of truth in that cartoon!
Loved the cartoon!
