I tried to go with the flow and do some improv piecing. I also went with an organic straight line quilting style, which I LOVE! It was so easy and fun to do, and I think it goes great with the piecing in this quilt.
For the back I used a large chunk of the only print that I had left, along with some solids.
Finished size is 20"x20"
Fabrics are Aviary 2 and Free Spirit solids
I think there are lots more minis in my future! In fact, I have a fabulous idea to incorporate some mini quilts into the photo wall that I'm creating in our dining room.
Oh, speaking of mini quilts, I was thinking of setting up a swap. Would anyone be interested in that? We can wait until after the rush of the holidays, if that works best. Leave me a comment if you'd be interested!

That is such a cute quilt! Yes, I would be interested in a swap, definitely after the holidays.
Very sweet! I love that line of fabric!
This is super cute! I love it, and that fabric is awesome.
This is so cute! Love the fabric and such a great way to use scraps. I'm about to try some organic straight line quilting on my Dead Simple quilt, I love the look of it!
Super cute mini! They're so satisfying, aren't they? Organic close quilting can be a pain on a larger project but it's perfect for one this size. Love love it!
p.s. I'm a "maybe" on the swap. Keep me posted....
Hi,
Please put my on your list for an after holidays swap. I'm a member of the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild just North of you in Abbotsford, BC. Check out our website: www.fvmodernquilt.com.
Mini quilt swap? Definitely! Sounds like fun. (I'm in Australia).
I'd love to participate in a swap for after the holidays. Your mini quilt is super cute. Great job. :)
I love it, it looks so great!!
Beautiful. I love the straight-line quilting -- it really goes well with the big prints. I'm still hoarding my Aviary 2, not sure what I want to do with it yet, but this is definitely inspirational.
Beautiful! I have only crumbs left of Aviary... but maybe I can find enough for something mini. You've inspired me.
I would be very interested in a mini-swap, if it's open internationally. I haven't made any minis yet, and after the rush of holiday sewing would be best. Would love to explore the world of minis!
