a new mini quilt....






I am making a new mini quilt in earth tones and I also want to share with all of you what I have learned, about doing these mini quilts.
I think it is important to have some tools, as those that you can see in the photos:
A marking pen with vanish ink
A metal rule
Very good pair of scissors just for cutting fabric
A quilting rule, the smaller the best
A card square with a square hole with the final dimensions of your tiny quilt squares, this is very important to have an idea of the final effect of your fabric (see images).
A Olfa circular cutter but this is opcional
First step
Cut squares in the choosing fabrics, with 3 cm side
Play with them, and make your final combination
Take a photo, very important! and if you want, this is important if you don´t have a studio where to leave everything for days (LOL)
Second step latter on....

Today I received the lovely Mediterranean salad that I won in the Anthoula Zampeli blog giveaway, http://a-miniature-life.blogspot.com/ and I love it. It is so tiny and perfect.
And, proving that the world is really small, she did won a gift from a Portuguese miniaturist , also in a blog giveaway. Another thing, Anthoula is coming to Lisbon....
