This is one of my very smallest quilts, and it has the longest name of all! I love making tiny little quilts. They’re a terrific way of honing my piecing skills, without draining my budget. It isn't hard to pull all the required fabric from my own stash and still make the finished project look like it was deliberate. I can usually finish wall hangings, mug rugs, placemats and table toppers with my own machine, so I don’t have to pay someone with a long-arm quilter. The red, green and black here are Kim Diehl scraps for Henry Glass Fabrics. The background was leftover from a large quilt I made with Audra’s Iris Garden by Bannock and Patek for Moda Fabrics. Somehow, the colors all seem to get along. The pattern (and the long name) came from “The Civil War Sewing Circle: Quilts and Sewing Accessories Inspired by the Era” by Kathleen Tracy.
