Making a Mini Quilt - Great Fun
Many of us do not have time to make a large bed quilt or we have an interest in quilting but we are not quite sure if we would like to do a large project. The quilts that you would like to make today can be traditional or made with new modern twists.
I enjoy the mini quilt because I can make one quilt block, finish it and feel that I have accomplished a completed project. And ideas abound as to what you can do with that block. That is what makes it so interesting and exciting.
To get started I ordered a free quilting pattern to be sure that I could do it. Well, I did. And you will never guess what I did with the finished quilt block. I will let you know towards the end of the article.
Here are lessons that I learned or suggestions that I have to offer if you have never made a quilt block.
- Understand the quilt pattern directions.
- Cut accurately.
- Label each piece.
- Sew as directed and press seams.
Helpful hints:
- Pin pieces together before stitching to be sure that the correct pieces are being joined.
- Match your pieces with the diagram to be sure correct pieces are being attached.
- Set aside the quilt templates that have been used. If an error is made it helps to have a point of reference.
- Do one step at a time, do not jump ahead or you will think that you are short on your cut pieces.
- With a mini quilt if you make an error, just cut another piece. It is easier and the piecing will be accurate.
Making a mini quilt or a one block designed quilt is like sewing a jigsaw puzzle together. If you enjoy puzzles you will enjoy learning how to quilt.
Here are some ideas for the center of a one block quilt:
- Leave the center plain or if you wish insert an embroidery design or an applique.
- Add ready made embellishments.
- Add a photo.
This is what I did with my free quilt pattern:
I used a ready made five petal flower and attached four of these flowers as an applique arranging them in an attractive manner strategically on the quilt block. In the middle or each flower I stitched a pearl bead. I then traced one of these flowers and superimposed this quick handmade applique pattern throughout the quilt and outlined stitched these flowers for the quilting.
A cotton stablizer was used to insure stability for holding the appliques and the pearls. A backing was fastened.
After you make your first block you will have many other ideas as to how these blocks can be used.
My block was a gift fo my mother-in-law. I made a pattern with matching fabric and finished this mini quilt into a lingerie bag with a zippered closure.
The reason for the quilting is that she has given me yards of quilting fabrics. The mini quilt satisfied her with my sewing and quilting abilities and the unexpected lingerie bag idea was a wonderful practical gift for her.

I enjoy pursuing many hobbies. Currently my interest is writing about both personal and money making or career hobbies and sharing this informtion with you.
What is the best needle for applique?
My mom is doing a quilt and was wondering what the best brand/size of needles are preferred?
She is hand stitching.
A long thin needle is generally preferred. A lot of people like a size 10 or 11 straw needle or a size 9 or 10 milliner's needle. Some people get good results with regular sharps, for me they fray the fabric on sharp points.
I personally have not found that 'brand' matters much but that 'type' is critical, and I just buy the right type at JoAnn's or WalMart. However, I know people who won't sew without their favorite imported English brand.
I recommend trying an inexpensive pack of assorted straw or milliner's needles on a sample block. If that works ok, you're good to go.
