This is a tiny little auction piece, only 8 x 6.
I think it’s pretty successful. I made it for SAQA, which will be having a benefit auction with many such small quilts.
I didn’t think I’d have time to make an auction quilt this year, but the deadline was extended AND I had a quilt I wasn’t crazy about. Hmm. Things began to percolate in my brain.
See my previous post for the quilt I just made that wasn’t exciting me. (No worries, though, as you’ll see from the post.)
I knew that quilt could make a good start for an auction piece. So, I did this.
Yep, I cut out an 8 x 6 piece! It had an interesting composition, but I thought it needed some dots. I added them with paint and markers.
And what about some embroidered circles? I auditioned the idea in my computer.
Yes, I liked the idea! So, then I couched them on by hand.
I’m quite happy with it!
Maybe I should make some more tiny quilts with this larger quilt as my starting point. I have a series called Notes for a Friend. At only 7 x 5, I could get quite a few from this quilt.
Having fun and moving forward!
