February 11 ~ Quilt of the Day

House Mini Quilt
By Soph, stitch

This mini-quilt is A4 size and hand-pieced and hand-quilted with a turned/fused appliqué.

Soph writes, “The idea initially came from seeing a Japanese craft book that stuck in my mind (this one) and the specifics of the design came partly from the fabrics themselves and partly influenced by Alex at Moonstitches and Hillary Lang.” Soph adds that the finishing touches on the house were inspired by this artist. Learn more about Soph’s quilt on her stitch blog.

    Interesting. I have made small appliqued quilted wall-hangings before for myself and for gifts–nothing as small as this quilt shown however. I’m so glad you posted the link to Stitch; I’m enjoyed all her knitting posts as well.

    I love it! The fabric selection is perfect. I love that the shade is half-drawn in the window. And the little trees for the grass — so cute! Thanks for sharing this with us.

    Its all about the right fabric choice for the project. The tree print fabric that makes up the “ground” in this quilt is perfect. The quilting pattern helps give the ground a rolling hill feeling as well. The patterns on the fabric for the house and tree leaves are wonderful as well. I love it!

  14. Susan F. responds:
    Posted: February 11th, 2008 at 6:13 am →

    This may be a dumb question though I have to ask… what do you do with an A4 size quilt? Is that a doll quilt size?

    This is really a lovely mini-quilt. I usually prefer making small works, because I´m a person who loves details and mini-quilts are great for that, including using other techniques together, as embroidery and painting. The possibilities are endless!
