If you want to make a hot pink and orange quilt you can without wasting a lot of time and money.

I'm also doing the little quilt a month, and hope to establish an album in the group very soon to put my photos in. I can't wait to see what you've picked for us next.

I don't really like a lot of quilting on my small quilts either but always feel I should do more. <br /><br />I display some of them on tables and a few on the walls but do not have a lot of wall space and so just switch them off every now and then. Most of them "rest" in a cupboard, unseen, until I take them out when I travel and show them off to guilds.Kathleen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793289458143493332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-87290688514341505482012-04-28T11:14:25.175-05:002012-04-28T11:14:25.175-05:00I think your quilt is lovely, as is the quilting. ...I think your quilt is lovely, as is the quilting. Personally, I don't like too much quilting on small quilts, and it's not because I'm lazy and don't want to do the quilting. I think the quilters at your workshop are missing out on not making some small quilts because they are so much fun, and a fast finish. Sometimes, people who only do large quilts don't know how to display small quilts. Of course, they are only limited by their imagination, but people do ask me what do I do with them. What do you do with yours?Heartsdesirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13046284753160269492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-17604860864887830662012-04-28T07:53:03.762-05:002012-04-28T07:53:03.762-05:00Hi Kathy, I think the reason we all like (Small) q...Hi Kathy, I think the reason we all like (Small) quilts so much is the same reason we all think all baby's are so cute, even animal baby's (Like a snake,skunk )I could just go on and on with the list of cute baby animals, right?<br />I have that book also and love it, and your quilt is very cute!!
