I can't believe it's been well over a month since I started making these little minis. They've been with me to two other countries in the meantime and I sewed the final stiches last night! One went to Karol-Ann in my give-away and the others are intended as gifts and thank-yous, especially for swap organizers! At this point, I don't want to see another lollypop flower on a pieced green stem again, but I do think they'd make a really cool quilt all together, so maybe I will return to them someday. Here they are all stacked up and ready to go.
This is a glimpse of what I'm working on next. Inspired by this ad from Anttila last week (the fabric comes from
Finlayson), I'm trying a little more complicated applique with both convex and concave edges. I think this will become another swap quilt. We'll see whether I get as addicted to the fish as I have to the circles and butterflies!

The little quilts are very cute. I'll be interested to see what you do with the fish, so will my husband, he just looked over my shoulder and asked what they were.
Shweet! Good to get a project done! I am thinking I might quilt up my little flowers, today. If I resist a nap! Love the butterfly quilty- great job, bet she loves it! And the fish are cool- masculine. Have a great weekend!

Yes I am sure the flowers would make a lovely quilt. You are an artist.
Just love that photo of all those bindings stacked up - you just gotta love biased stripe or check binding - reminds me of deckchairs at the seaside

I just noticed how those bindings look just like Fruit Stripe Gum...er, are you too young to remember that?
The little flower quilts are beautiful! They take my breath away. What a brilliant idea!
They are really lovely - i can understand why you might be a little tired of them for a while at least, but I think they were worth it!
