My January project comes from a scrap bag from a friend that was full of 1.25" squares.
I posted last week about this muddy mess of a mini scrap quilt, and for some unknown reason that blog post has disappeared into the ether. Blogging (and life in general) is weird that way... now you see it, and now it's gone!

Here is the same blocks with sashing... so much better!

This is a photo of the quilt top from the back so you can see how I pressed all the little seams. It is very precise sewing and sometimes challenging with pieces that finish 3/4", but I enjoy it!
Here is my January miniature quilt measuring 16" square.
Because most (all?) of the scrap pieces (except the sashing) are William Morris fabrics, I am calling this "William Chains".
I like the strong diagonal neutral chains in this design.

A fabulous mini - the sashing was a great idea... and oh those pieces are so small!
Loving your mini with that sashing...nice work hugs, Julierose
Annie's suggestion really worked. Congrats on your finish. I really like it.
I have yet to post mine.
That blue sashing looks great. I need to do a few miniatures for my little quilt stand.
The dark blue fabric give each block a nice separation and makes a huge difference in how the quilt looks. Great idea! Tiny quilts are always so adorable. This one is no exception to that rule.
congrats on getting it done! I rarely make a mini I should sometime
This turned out really cute!
Annie's suggestion gave these little squares wonderful definition, great finish!
Great job, Kathy. I really love William's Chain. Congratulations! Thank you for showing the back of your blocks. I appreciate this as I'm never sure which side I should press the seams. I might keep this picture for future reference in my files. I don't want Blogger to make it disappear. That's sad. ;^)
The blue sashing really made a difference. It's beautiful mini. I'm always amazed at how small you can go!
"drama and definition".
I love it!
what a lovely little!
Much better with the sashing.
This is such a super mini! I finally got it linked into my post. I'm having a bit of trouble with Blogger. I thought I had lost everything, but it seems to be back on track. Thanks for traveling along. I am going to have to post the February mini on the 26th as I will be away from the internet for a week at the end of the month. I will get everyone linked up when I get back. Woohoo!
