Mini Quilts For Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative

Miniature quilts are a fun break from making larger quilts.  Near instant gratification!  And they are soooo cute! 

So when I heard about The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative I joined their Quilt-A-Month group.  It's a commitment to make and donate one mini quilt, or to purchase at one, per month for six months. Any guesses as to which I'll do?

Spring Trio was donated for February...

For March, After The Rain...

Fun. 

Done.

New Friends Mini Quilt

This is my quilt for the first round of the Flickr Mini Quilt Exchange.  The theme was New Friends.

I used neutral fabrics and Friendship blocks for the background.  And then two appliqued flowers that are the same but different.... kind of like friends who have interests in common but each brings something new to the friendship.

It needed a little more so I used floss to add bits of grass and added glass beads around the edges.

My new friends and I have at least two things in common.  We like quilts and I have a feeling we all have a tendency to procrastinate!
