Grow - Magnificent Minis with Island Batik

Becoming an 
Island Batik Ambassador
is a chance for me
to grow both as a quilter and a blogger.

Every month,
Island Batik Ambassadors have a challenge in which a project is made and shared
and
this month's challenge
is
Magnificent Minis.

The challenge for February is to make a mini quilt that is smaller than 24" x 24".

I used the challenge to make a wall hanging to remind myself to 
grow from these challenges.

(In case I forget why I'm doing this...lol)
Actually, I picked out some of the fabrics I liked and I designed the wall hanging to add a little color to my sewing room and bring in a little spring.
Will winter ever end?

I received some 5" strips in my Island Batik box.

 I used some of those with  the 
basic grey and white that I received.

The fabrics are so bright and I love the designs.


I used Aurifil 50 wt in black to stitch down the fusible appliques
and
to stitch the "GROW" with a triple stitch on the flower pot.

I used Hobbs Thermore batting which is perfect for wall hangings.

The quilting is free-motion
 with Aurifil 50 wt on my domestic machine.
Minis are perfect for playing with quilting designs.

Finished size:  18" x 18"
