I have a confession to make...

I lied to you.  Remember this photo?

Well I told you that I was going to hand quilt one and machine quilt the other.  I didn't.  

I planned on it...but I didn't.
I planned on making two different, unique mini-quilts then letting the intended recipient choose one of them (and I would keep the other)...I'm not.

Truth is: I finished the first hand quilted mini and fell and love.  And the thought of having to part with it and being STUCK with a machine quilted version ..... well that was not an option.  So I hand quilted them both.

Can you forgive me?

I used up the larger left-over scraps to piece the backings on both quilts. And bound one in a solid, light green and the other in a citron/chartreuse print on white.

I am so incredibly pleased with how these both came out.  The hand quilting add just the right amount of texture to the quilts and scales down the "modern, wonky" factor.

And I used my favorite method for hanging mini-quilts, fast triangles sewn into the binding and a small dowel.   It's so easy to do.  Just grab a square piece of scrap fabric and press it in half, wrong-sides together.  Then after you've sewn on your binding, place the square into the corner and trace the binding stitching to sew it down.  To hang your piece, grab a dowel and cut to length.  Easy peasy.  

The best part about these quilts?  First one's I got to sign as Jennifer Fullerton.

Happy Quilting!
