Mini Wall Quilt Set with Scrappy Patchwork Pear Fruit
Mini Wall Quilt Set with Scrappy Patchwork Pear Fruit
Small scrap quilts are always so appealing! The intricate patchwork piecing and custom quilting make this a special set. You can use it in many ways but it is particularly suited as wall decor, with the eye catching quilting and bright fresh colors. A lovely focal point for your kitchen, office or wherever you need a little something extra.🌞
The colorful fabrics are cheerful and fun and the scrappy binding is a cute finishing touch. This was an improvisational project that I made from scraps from a larger project. For interests sake, the stem of the pear measures only 5mm across and the small squares are only 2 cm!
For hanging:
I will send along Command strips (two for each quilt plus a couple extras) for easy hanging. If you like, I can place them before I send them to you, just send me a note. I like this video tutorial for attaching the command strips to the back of the mini quilt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBmNGDHetbw&t=615s
(note: I often omit the paper step and simply press the Command strip to the corners of the mini quilt.)
Size of largest mini quilt is about 14 x 11 inches (36 x 28 cm).
Each of the smaller ones vary in size, with approximate measurements falling between 7 to 8 inches (18 to 20 cm). They are not identical sizes.
All fabrics are 100% Cotton.

I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.
