LOVE Mini Quilt

Hooray! A last-minute finish for Friday! 


My LOVE mini quilt is finished & hanging on our wall. I finished sewing the binding on tonight while watching an episode of Call the Midwife, then got it up on the wall right after that! 


I really debated about the binding. White was not my first thought - I was leaning toward a navy or grey print. But after auditioning a few, nothing struck me. And the walls of our room are a blue-grey, and the fabrics that I sort of liked for the quilt seemed to clash with the walls. So, white it is, and I'm hoping I don't regret it.


I followed the suggestion of the tutorial on Sew Mama Sew and hand quilted 1/4" from all of the letters, but I just used white perle cotton instead of a color to match each letter. It adds just a little texture.


Other than deliberating for a while over the binding fabric, this was a quick, fun project! I think we'll enjoy this new addition to our walls. Happy Friday!

  1. I think you made the right choice using a white binding. It really allows the letters to stand out and be center stage.

  4. The white binding and quilting were good choices, I think. They keep the attention on the colorful letters. I also quilt while watching Call the Midwife! Such a great show. :) www.quiltartbymegan.com
