Jaybird Quilts Miniatures

Last month I taught a miniatures class at my local quilt show.  Participants could choose from 3 Jaybird patterns.  Since I needed pieces for class I cut pieces for the Mini Lotus, and Mini Splash quilts.  The third quilt they could make was mini Tiny Dancer, but I have made that quilt 3 or 4 times and didn't want to make another, so I just cut sample pieces (that then went to my friend who loves scraps).

Of course when I did my FAL Q4 goals I knew I was teaching the class, but totally forgot to put the mini's on my goals list, so these don't count towards that drawing.  But I still wanted to get them done.

I also made these as shop samples in August at retreat, and apparently never blogged about them.  Mini Science Fair was supposed to be one for the class but I had issues with keeping the pieces from stretching, so I didn't want a beginner to pick that pattern and then get frustrated, so we removed it from the class options.  Not sure why I had so many issues with that one, as when I made the full sized version I didn't have those issues.

I had already made Mini Splash a couple years ago, so that became my class sample.

Q4 FAL finish - #4 Unicorn Mini Quilt

A couple weeks ago I finished a couple of miniatures.  One of them was Lisa the Unicorn which was goal number 4 for the 4th Quarter.  Now I just need to decide where to hang her.

Q4 FAL finish - #21 baby hats

More baby hats complete!

I have finished number 21 from my goals.  I made 3 three more baby hats to be donated to the University of Iowa Hospital.  I have been trying to make various sizes so that the volunteer department has different sizes to pick from when they hand them out.  They say they need over 2K hats per year.  That's a lot of newborn babies.
