Little Quilt Monday

I am posting Little Quilt Monday early to remind you to enter and link up your mini quilts to the Modern Mini Quilt Challenge at Ellison Lane Quilts here.  The deadline is Monday, and just in case you forgot, I am hoping this will give you enough time to put your finishing touches to your mini quilt entry!  If you don't plan to enter, you will want to go take a look at all the wonderful, creative entries....lots of inspiration.

I used gray Kona and a charm pack of Reunion by Sweetwater for Moda fabrics to make my little mini quilt.  I cut each charm into 3 inch squares to end up with 2 inch finished half square triangles.  Then I had fun pairing them up and making little hourglass blocks.

I hand stitched with red crochet thread.  I used a fat quarter of one of the Reunion fabrics for the binding.  The hourglass mini quilt finished at 15.5 X 15.5 inches.

 Looks like a tic tac toe board : )

I like the Reunion fabric line, and I just may have to use this fabric and pattern to make a picnic quilt.

Now it is your turn to link up something to

Little Quilt Monday 

1.  This link-up party is for any small project.  For example, mini quilts, doll quilts, baby quilts, place mats, mug rugs,

wall quilts, table runners, etc.

2.  They can be a WIP(work-in-progress) or finished.

3.  If it is something from the past there is no need to write a new blog post, just link the one that you have already written, and, please link back to my blog post.

4.   If you are interested, you can add your pictures to my flickr group here, or join my Facebook group here. 

Let's inspire each other!
