On page 30 of the latest AP&Q magazine is an awesome quilt called “Summer Salsa” designed by Kathie Holland. It just jumped right out and begged me to make it! (Maybe it’s all that sunshine yellow). But I already have a few too many unfinished quilts going at the moment and I don’t dare start another one. So, instead, I decided to shrink it down into a small project.
The original quilt is 77” x 85” with 6” blocks. My little quilt has 1 1/2” blocks and finished at 17” x 19.”
It was a fun thing to try!
(By the way, I’ve decided the skitty-wampus blocks together with the wavy lines could possibly make one a bit seasick, so I will be more careful with that from now on).
Oh, I like that...a lot! Wonderful use of color there.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I would love to make that one! and I actually like the wavey lines... it gives it a little pizzazz!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea...I'm excited to do the quilt along of Darlene's quilt too...and I'm going to do the smaller version for the same reason!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic Annette!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt, Annette. I just love the colors.
ReplyDeleteIs this going to join the others on your mini wall?
Perfect to have a quilt you love and get it finished in a reasonable amount time. Minis are so cute.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, so cute in the small size. You are tempting me.
ReplyDeleteI love your mini version of this quilt. The one in the magazine is calling my name very loudly. Today I pulled out fabrics to make this quilt even though I have numerous other projects I should work on first. Oh well the siren song of a quilt can not be ignored!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThose skitty wampus blocks don't bother me one bit -- I kinda like them. I love your little quilt -- the colors are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic as a doll quilt and what a great idea to get a quilt out of our system without the time a big one would take.
ReplyDeleteLOL! You are so clever!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea to make them in mini. You are tempting me again...

ReplyDeleteI just got myself a copy of APQ with Kathie's quilt in it and now seeing it in miniture wow! You meant 1/2" square for the nine patch? I might have to make one too, if you don't mind - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteSeasick I think not!! It's absolutely beautiful the way it is. Fantastic that you were able to shrink it down to a manageable sized project in order to complete it quickly.
ReplyDeleteAloha!
Way to go! That is so adorable! I feel like making little ones lots more than the big ones, and for the same reason! Plus, you see the whole darling design at a glance!

Love your mini version. Since I brought home that issue of AP&Q I keep opening that page and day dream about which fabrics I'll use to make that delicious quilt. I just love the idea of shrinking it down. You still satisfy the desire to play with fabrics!
