In keeping with the mini theme, here is my next little morsel of yummy goodness, Old Glory Itty Bitty. ๐
Again, this one stands up too, as if it has legs.
I believe it is around 10″ square. Itty Bitty is right! This is a super cool little quilt to make!!
It is so fun to see the transformation because it started out looking like this. I really didn’t want to cut it up. I loved it just like this!! I used 3 Candy packs of Old Glory (my new favorite fabric) and a little yardage from Seasonal Little Gatherings, both from Primitive Gatherings for Moda. I have plenty of little squares left over for something else. ๐ After using the Itty Bitty Primitive Pinwheel Template, the design comes together easily, like butter. ๐ The pattern/fabric layout is included with the template here.
It is amazing! Could even stand up on its own before quilting! LOL! I also quilted this on my longarm. It was quite the sight too!! LOL!! It took all of 5 minutes. A little stitch in the ditch and meandering. Batting is Hobbs 80/20. Pattern called for a single fold binding, which I DID do. I never use binding clips, but they were incredibly helpful in this case!
Until I have a few more minis completed (for my wall of smalls), I will decorate with them.
Fits in with all my patriotic decor! The heart bowl fillers are another wonderful creation from Denise of KKL Primitives. She is so creative!!
I went hunting for treasures again in my stash (basement storage) and came up with this antique library chair. It is one of those chairs that flips over and becomes a ladder. Another treasure from my grandma. It used to have green paint. Scott started refinishing it years ago, but never finished. I am so glad too. I love how it looks now!! Primitive and worn. Perfect!! I just cleaned it up. Above is a new pineapple sign.
Mary of The Gettysburg Mercantile did a beautiful job. Mary makes and sells gorgeous primitive goods!!!! Very talented!
Thank you for all the comments on Little Red! I hope some of you have also caught the mini bug!!
WOW it really IS amazing!!
Your home and quilts are amazing!! Just wonderful!

I did order that book you mentioned. Love this little quilt too. It is quite stunning both before and after quilting!
Love that chair. Oldies, but goodies!
Wow, what a beautiful little quilt and I cannot imagine all those little pieces. I love your decor and displays.
Debbie
Wow!! Kudos on such a terrific MINI. That is one super small twister project!
You know I've caught the bug, Linda! The only cure for it is to keep sewing – lolol! This one is so adorable and I had no idea there was a mini pinwheel tool!
Cheers!
The sheep is what caught my eye. The quilt, the sheep, the cabinet, etc. all go together well to make a great patriotic display.
I'm so completely drooling right now! The quilt and the other patriotic stuff are gorgeous!
Wow, so beautiful. I love this patriotic stuff.

Love it, Linda. I caught the mini quilt bug a few months ago. Some at still waiting to be quilted. Sigh! LOL
Another delightful vignette, Linda! I have that pattern and made the little quilt twice…now I will make it for the third time, using my patriotic scraps! Thanks for the inspiration ๐

That is fabulous; I love it! And the pineapple picture?? Love it!!
I love your little pinwheel quilt! I've made two twister quilts now and it's always so hard to make the first cut! I love how they come out though! :0)
I love that stool. I have always wanted one of those. I love your little pinwheel quilt. I have that tool and totally want to do one of these. Some day, I will actually do it! LOL
Linda,
I adore your little bitty quilts ๐ I have always loved little quilts and have many of the Miniature Quilt magazines that were published years ago. I love looking at them. Now you have inspired me to make one soon!
Hugs,
Donna

Those twister rulers are fun. I have a big one and a small one. That is the cutest little twister. If you make two they'll be Twisted Sisters. :o) I love that library chair. What a special treasure.
Oh, My! this little quilt is phenomenal. Love your red, white, and blue display too.
I love your color way! Very cute!!! Aren't these pinwheel quilts addictive?
I love it Linda. I've done one bigger, but that little one is just so cute. Love your photos!
My mom would have loved your home. =)

I love your itty bitty twister mat, they are just so much fun to make and they are useful too…Marg
