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.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is the elongated triangles, but there are several good ones.
ReplyDeleteThere's such a great variety of styles! I really like Elongated Triangles.
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeletePlease 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....
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I have never made a hedgehog - how cute.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteI love several of them so I will just say Quiltalicious for now.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteHedgehog hayday - for my grandson for next to the gerbil cage.
ReplyDeleteI love your skyline mini !
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Stalagstripes. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love your mini quilt, my favorite is Heather Valentine's with the applique flowers. I want to make one just like it!
ReplyDeleteHedgehog 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.
ReplyDeleteThey are all good. I'd like to make My Little Garden first though.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI like the To Do List quilt. It's sew cute. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but would make fox in a box first. Actually would make 2 as I have twin nieces.
ReplyDeleteI adore yours Emily!! Simple and colorful, just my style! This is a fun hop! >^,,^<
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great ones! I think I would start with those cute hedgehogs.
ReplyDeleteAll of the minis are great. I too had to get why quilters made minis. They are fun sample size quilts.

I love your Skyline mini, and the adorable foxes!
ReplyDeleteI love your Skyline! I want to make it! It's the best of the lot. Congratulations on designing such a beautiful fun-size quilt.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite. There are too many inspiring quilts to choose just one.
ReplyDeleteThere 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!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them, but I think “Quiltalicious” is such a bright, fun Mini!
ReplyDeleteThe first two I would make are the "To Do List" for my sewing room, and Jeni Baker's foxes for my son.
ReplyDeleteI like Perhaps the most!
ReplyDeleteI love Sunshine, though i love those hedgehogs too!
ReplyDeleteI like Thomas's Perhaps
ReplyDeleteSkyline really is my favorite! I love how simple and geometric it is :) thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss up between the White Stars, the Fox in a Box, and the Woven Stars.
ReplyDeleteI love pinwheels, so I will have to go with Sunshine by Kimberly Jolly.
ReplyDeleteI like to make mug rugs. I have never made a mini quilt but am absolutely going to make the hedgehog quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'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!)
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win!
Love Fox in a Box!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is "Fox in a Box"
ReplyDeleteHI,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 :)
ReplyDeleteFoxes in Boxes is really cute but they all look interesting. Thanks! notwendy gmail
ReplyDeletei love the foxes. I want to make that one first.
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
ReplyDeleteLove love the hedgehogs!
ReplyDeleteIt's a hard decision but Hedgehog Heyday is pretty cute! This is an awesome book--thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Hedgehog Heyday mini quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteStarlight is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteAll of the mini quilts are beautiful but I find the Hedgehog Heyday one to be totally adorable.
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!

ReplyDeleteYour quilt would look great in a child's room! I am drawn to Melissa's zig zag quilt.
ReplyDeleteHedgehog fan all the way Sorry
ReplyDelete"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...."
ReplyDeleteLove all these mini quilts, but the one I want to make first is Sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI like yours, but the hedgehogs and sew sew sew are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI like most of them... think that yours & "Perhaps" are my favorites
ReplyDeleteI like the sunshine mini!
ReplyDeleteemily@reznechek.com
I am leaning towards "perhaps" but think all of the quilts would be fun to try.
ReplyDeleteMaybe my favorite is the elongated triangles. It's really hard to choose one, and I keep changing my mind!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pattern is White Stars. Thank you for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI think your quilt is great! I also love the Fox in a Box, My little Garden, and White Stars!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute!! :)
I'm a mini kick, great time for this book!
ReplyDeleteThe whimsy of the hedgehogs is terrific, but Fox in a Box is calling my name! Great job everyone!
ReplyDeleteThe whimsy of Fox in a Box is calling my name!
ReplyDelete"Fox in a Box" is my favorite.
