Juliet Nice wrote a new post, Two Mini? or Not Two Mini?aka A Tale of Two Minis. 8 years ago
Last month I made these two mini quilts. They’re 20″ish square and made mostly of the same fabrics, but they look very different.
For four years now, we have run an annual Mini Swap through our Facebook…

I was going to give the autumn swap a miss but I think I’m hooked. As a swap virgin this time I’ve learnt a lot about how to stalk and be stalked and also discovered new techniques and fabrics that I’ve come to love. Bring it on ❤️❤️❤️

How true…make it at the same time or it never gets made. My liberty butterfly is still not made but it’s on my to do list
Obviously I’m not going to make a Trek quilt but so glad you love yours -
Beautiful quilts. I prefer the darker version as well but would happily live with either. I missed the swap this year due to bring overcommitted but have loved all the ones I have recieved. I too wish I’d made 2 of the ones I’ve sent out as I’ve never got around to making one for myself !
-
I love your quilts but prefer the darker one with the more defined outline. I wish I’d made myself the first mini I did . It was a butterfly by lillyella stitchery , you have inspired me to make it for myself
-
Lovely blog Juliet. I’ve done all four swaps, and made a few Angel minis, but each one has its own special memories. Each mini is a unique gift. We all appreciate the time and thoughtful that has gone into making what we receive.
