Monthly Mini Quilt For September 2018

This months mini is going much smaller with blocks (3 geese) at 1" x 1.5" finished.  
I am in love with flying geese lately and thought it appropriate with the fact that some birds will fly south soon. Oh no, not what we want to hear! 

​ This finished quilt measures only about 7" wide x 8.25" complete with sashing, borders and binding. It had to be paper pieced to be accurate.  Fun to do but a serious challenge, especially to get the sashing, borders and binding as even as possible.

 See the size of the block below, tiny in my hand.

Teeny tiny flying geese. Using up my stash? NOT!

I'm not done yet. This mini needs 16 of these flying geese units.

Phew the 16 flying geese units are done.

rows are sewn together

1/4" sashing is added- wow so tiny

It's complete with a tiny border and binding, kinda starting to look like September with the darker colours.

Helpful tools for this project?

The 6" add a quarter ruler

Bobbin fill fine thread for embroidery, I found it useful for tiny piecing as it creates less bulk.

I think I got mini flying geese out of my system,  at least for now LOL

Challenge yourself to a mini quilt this month!

Happy Wednesday and Happy September❤️
