For the longest time I couldn't understand why people would make mini quilts. The idea just baffled me. And then I got the opportunity to design on for this book and I totally get it now. They are so fun, quick and easy and the design options are endless!
I am so fortunate to be among some of my favorite designers in this book.
My mini- "Skyline" -features fabrics from my stash as well as several prints from my Technicolor fabric collection for Michael Miller Fabrics.
Do you want to win an e-version of this fun book for your self? All you have to do is visit the Martingale blog and then hop along to the rest of the designers on the blog hop to have a look at their quilts (you can enter to win an ebook on each of their blogs). Then come on back here and leave a comment telling me which is your favorite (it doesn't have to be mine!)
It could be-
"Hedgehog Heyday" from Cheri Leffler
or "My Little Garden" by Jackie White
or "Fox in a Box" by Jeni Baker
or any of the others- there's 19 different fun-size quilts!
Can't wait to see which one you choose! Contest will run through July 30th.
HAPPY SEWING!

I have to say that all the mini quilts are wonderful. I think the hedgehog is my favorite, but I'm excited about making all of them.
I think my favorite is the elongated triangles, but there are several good ones.
There's such a great variety of styles! I really like Elongated Triangles.
Love your Skyline mini and also would like to make My Little Garden! ☺ Thanks a bunch for the chance to win!

It is hard to pick a favorite, but if I have to it would be Quiltalicious. Thanks!
Please click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
I love the hedgehog, but would love to make the patchwork one from JayBird Quilts, all those, teeny, tiny, bitty pieces..... What fun....
I love them all, but I have never made a hedgehog - how cute.
My favourite - it has been hard to choose there are 5 I love - I am mad about pinwheels right now so I guess Sunshine would be my #1 favourite - also love the hedgehog.

My favourite is the 'To-Do List' quilt.
I love several of them so I will just say Quiltalicious for now.
I'd like to make a bunch of these quilts! I'd start with the one with the improv triangles because it is different than anything I have done before.
That would be really hard to pick just one when I really fell in love with all of them. Thank you for giving me the chance to win a copy of Fun Size Quilts. I know that I will enjoy this book so much.

I like the sunshine quilt.
Hedgehog hayday - for my grandson for next to the gerbil cage.
I love your skyline mini !
My favorite is the Stalagstripes. Thanks for the giveaway!
Although I love your mini quilt, my favorite is Heather Valentine's with the applique flowers. I want to make one just like it!
Hedgehog Heyday is catching my attention. But I do have to say that when I saw your quilt, I immediately thought of skyscrapers. And then, you called it a skyline. I guess I'm not totally lacking in are perspectives.
They are all good. I'd like to make My Little Garden first though.
I like Fox in the Box, and I want to make yours, too. I have several vertical strip quilts pinned on Pinterest: that type of design always calls me. It never occurred to me to do one as a mini! I think it will work well, though, because then you can see the whole design as a complete piece, rather than rumpled and folded the way my bed quilts always end up.
I like the To Do List quilt. It's sew cute. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love them all but would make fox in a box first. Actually would make 2 as I have twin nieces.
I adore yours Emily!! Simple and colorful, just my style! This is a fun hop! >^,,^<
There are so many great ones! I think I would start with those cute hedgehogs.
All of the minis are great. I too had to get why quilters made minis. They are fun sample size quilts.
Faves: Fox in a Box, To Do List, Quiltalicious, White Stars, etc....

I love your Skyline mini, and the adorable foxes!
I love your Skyline! I want to make it! It's the best of the lot. Congratulations on designing such a beautiful fun-size quilt.
I don't have a favorite. There are too many inspiring quilts to choose just one.
There are at least six quilts in this book I'd like to make for myself, and others for friends. I think I'd start with white stars; I don't think I'd like it full size, but it looks so cute as a mini!
I love all of them, but I think “Quiltalicious” is such a bright, fun Mini!
The first two I would make are the "To Do List" for my sewing room, and Jeni Baker's foxes for my son.
I like Perhaps the most!
I love Sunshine, though i love those hedgehogs too!
I like Thomas's Perhaps
Skyline really is my favorite! I love how simple and geometric it is :) thanks for the chance to win!
I can see making any one of these quilts, but I would start with Julie Herman's White Star mini, thinking of using Christmas prints in the background and my white has white snowflakes on it. Thanks for the give away!
It's a toss up between the White Stars, the Fox in a Box, and the Woven Stars.
I love pinwheels, so I will have to go with Sunshine by Kimberly Jolly.
I like to make mug rugs. I have never made a mini quilt but am absolutely going to make the hedgehog quilt.
I'm liking the “Four-Patch Shift” by Jilie Herman and “Stalagstripes” by Pippa Eccles Armbrester along with your Skyline quilt. (I can never choose just one!)
Thank you for a chance to win!
Love Fox in a Box!
My favorite is "Fox in a Box"

This looks like such a great book! All the patterns are really fun, but I think my favorite is the 'To-Do List' quilt. Thanks for the chance to win :)
Foxes in Boxes is really cute but they all look interesting. Thanks! notwendy gmail
i love the foxes. I want to make that one first.
There are so many I've seen from this book that I just love. I am torn between three of them however in trying to choose a favorite. Those are My Little Garden, White Stars, and Sunshine.
Love love the hedgehogs!
It's a hard decision but Hedgehog Heyday is pretty cute! This is an awesome book--thanks for the giveaway!
I really like the Hedgehog Heyday mini quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
Starlight is my favorite.
All of the mini quilts are beautiful but I find the Hedgehog Heyday one to be totally adorable.
There are so many wonderful mini's, all for different reasons, and I think I love them all. I will be excited if I win one, because I want to make them all.
I love them all!!! The Foxes in the boxes one is adorable though!! Can't wait to get a copy of this book.

What do those foxes say? Love the small patterns!
I am torn but really like the Elongated Triangles--maybe it is the colors in part that grab me. I love the hedgehog too! pjrcontest@msn.com
I like Skyline and Perhaps just for fun.
I really like the mini quilt Skyline
Those foxes are adorable!
Your quilt would look great in a child's room! I am drawn to Melissa's zig zag quilt.
Hedgehog fan all the way Sorry
"Sunshine" is calling my name since it reminds me of my family reunions from when I was a young girl. My two cousins would play their accordions while the rest of the family members sang "You are my sunshine...."
Love all these mini quilts, but the one I want to make first is Sunshine.
I like yours, but the hedgehogs and sew sew sew are my favorites.
I like most of them... think that yours & "Perhaps" are my favorites
I like the sunshine mini!
emily@reznechek.com
I am leaning towards "perhaps" but think all of the quilts would be fun to try.
Maybe my favorite is the elongated triangles. It's really hard to choose one, and I keep changing my mind!
My favorite pattern is White Stars. Thank you for a chance to win.
I think your quilt is great! I also love the Fox in a Box, My little Garden, and White Stars!
They are all so cute!! :)
I'm a mini kick, great time for this book!
The whimsy of the hedgehogs is terrific, but Fox in a Box is calling my name! Great job everyone!
The whimsy of Fox in a Box is calling my name!
"Fox in a Box" is my favorite.
