I LOVED this idea of mini quilts as skill builders. I went for a basic log cabin since I was short on time, and did my first scrappy binding. I need to work on my bindings, for sure, but it came together all right and I got to use yet another decorative stitch to finish the binding.
One of my flickr/internet/invisible friends calls me the straight stitching beast and this mini is no exception - lots of straight lines and I actually measured them apart instead of going free form :)
Thanks for the inspiration to go for it, amylouwho!
I'm also linking this up to Celebrate Color, my favorite contest of the season ;)

Oooh, this is so pretty! Love the purples.
Love the straight stitches. How do you do your binding? I'm a newbie, so curious to learn!
That's great! I've recently delved into occasional free motion quilting, but I've been a "straight stitching beast" for years! Love it!
Darling quilt & I do love your straight lines! (love purple too!)
Cool, love those featured chairs
Hey! Thank you so much for the long and helpful comment on my blog. I'm going to try machine stitching, particularly that zig zag. I think it's really cute! And my fingers hurt from hand stitching ;) So glad you shared those links. Thanks!!
Totally LOVE the quilting!
