Another Mini Circle Quilt

 Hi Quilty Friends!  Y'all had to know when you first saw this scallop quilt stand a few months ago that I would eventually make a mini quilt with my blog logo.  

Over the years my logo has been updated a couple of times, but the original logo was my favorite. 


I played around a bit with the design and how I would make the applique letters.  My thought was the bigger the letters the easier they would be to make.  Nope!


Plan B: print the letters of my logo onto the fabric with my inkjet printer, then applique the cherries. A quick dig in my spare parts applique tackle box produced everything I needed for the applique.  The pieces were different sizes but that's okay.


Next, I needed to make the background fabric larger because I printed "podunk pretties" from my home printer.  The printer only uses a standard sheet of paper, 8.5 x 11, and my circle needs to be 10 inches.  So, I added a 2.5" strip to each side.


Within no time the quilt sandwich was made and was ready to quilt.


I even quilted around every letter to try to make it look appliqued.


It took all week to get this little gal finished.  The binding was added Sunday afternoon.  Well worth all the trouble!  I love it!


The first circle quilt I made can be found here with information to create your own Mini Dresden quilt.
