I was so close to finishing the top for this little quilt late last night that I stayed up stitching away till 1:00 a.m. I should know better than to work on details such as measuring and cutting sashing when I’m tired because I got it wrong and had to come back this morning to fix things. It made it very close for the sashing fabric…I started with less than a quarter yard scrap and after having to redo it, all I have leftover are crumbs… almost dust! I was holding my breath!
Now to quilt and bind it and then I’m going to display it in a ready made frame. The quilt is 18” x 24” and so it will fit just right.

Beautiful!
It is so beautiful. No wonder you stayed up so long to finish it.
18" x 24" of beauty. I get stupid sewing after 8 PM. Wishing you lots of finishes in 2011. Oh and lots of new starts too.
Wow, I'm amazed at the size of this finish, wonderful job Annette, I love it. The quilt fairies were smiling on you, I'm so happy you had just the right amount of sashing to finish this project.
It's adorable. At first glance, it looks like a full-size quilt. Your applique' looks wonderful.
It's just beautiful! I'm hoping to finish mine in 2011...but I only have 3 blocks done...need to get going! I'd love it if you do a post on your experience framing it!
Wow -- what a wonderful start to the year -- it's beautiful!
Simply gorgeous, Annette. I never would have guessed that it was a mini.
I can wait to see it framed. Do you quilt it if you are going to frame it?
Oh it is so pretty! What a great way to start the year!
