Aunt Joyce’s Mini-Me Quilt

This quilt uses the same pattern as the quilt Aunt Joyce made Sharon. It is smaller than Sharon’s, hence the name “Mini-Me”. Aunt Joyce made it from blocks she had left from Sharon’s quilt plus a few new ones. It is another quilt intended for a great grandchild.

• 63” x 84" Single bed sized
• Quilted in slightly wavy horizontal parallel lines. Used off-white thread “Pearl White” Omni brand 100% polyester from Superior Threads. Free form quilting. 5 bobbins. Quilting by Patty.
• Backing: Wide multicolored, splatter printed cotton from a Connecting Threads sale.
• Batting: 100% polyester “Quilter Dream Puff”. I thought the quilt needed more puff, that’s why I used a polyester batting with more loft (3/4”)
• Binding: Blue tonal fabric, cut on the bias.
• Pattern: Pattern given by Aunt Ruby to Tata who handed it down to Aunt Joyce.
• Piecing by Aunt Joyce using paper piecing on newsprint type paper.

Two Dinosaur Quilts for Aunt Joyce

 

Aunt Joyce is making quilts for her great grandchildren. She has 26 going on 27 of them! I agreed to quilt and bind some of them. 

These 2 quilts were made with a digitally printed panel and wide borders. The panel really pops and the borders coordinate beautifully. The backs she sent were a bit too small, so I’ll use those backs for 2 more quilts.
