blue cheese flimsy

this lounged around while i decided whether or not it should be bigger, finished off, etc.  it finally spoke to me and so i added these 2 narrow borders....now it's a flimsy!  i haven't given up making bed-size quilts, but it's quite fun making lots of little quilts.  i get to play with lots of color combinations, patterns and ideas without having a stack of unfinished big quilts.  and naturally, they get finished quicker too.  these little HSTs finish at 1" and it wasn't THAT long ago when i would NEVER have made anything that small.  but, bonnie hunter has made me see the light and the EZ angle ruler, which makes these little squares oh so easy!  **** it's stashbuster retreat weekend, so i'm off to get started!

  2. I love "Blue Cheese"! Good call on the borders.
    Like you, I never used to make mini quilts, but that all changed last year--and I owned the Easy Angle ruler but didn't really know how to make use of it, but Bonnie has converted me, too!
    Can't wait to see what you accomplish in your stashbuster weekend!

  3. It looks great, Grace. The HST border is just the right touch.
