Teal Star Mini Quilt
Teal Star Mini Quilt
This beautiful teal star mini quilt can be used on a table or as a wall hanging. Lovely quilting detail is done by freemotion. This is a machine quilting technique where the design is created according to the whim and skill of the operator rather than by computer. It is accomplished by freely moving the machine around on the project to stitch out their vision.
All aspects of the quilt are done by myself, from fabric selection, to piecing, to quilting the final stitch. I value quality materials and workmanship. All items I create are made in small batches and are often one of a kind.
There are two of these teal minis available, sold individually. Will come packaged with easy care instructions.
Size is about 14 inches square (36cm).

Features
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.
