Mini happy dance :)

Some of you may know that Carol Doak has started a Yahoo group for paper
piecing. The group is quite active -- much more active than I can be!
G -- and Carol is very involved. She gives periodic challenges and
free patterns that we can choose to do (or not). One of the patterns she
gave us was for a miniature quilt, which I finished the other day. I'm
rather pleased with the way it turned out, since I haven't done that
much paper piecing, nor have I done more than one other mini. I've
posted a picture of it at
http://home.earthlink.net/%7Esfoster1/paperpieced.html. It's 12"
square, and I machine quilted it with a King Tut variegated thread in
reds and a little purple; I used my attempt at a "flame" motif.

I love the way you finished it. The flame quilting lines are just
wonderful. I saw the "before" when you posted that picture on Carol's
group and it was great even before the quilting, but the finished
project is super!

I just had to order more paper-piecing paper! I'm using an awful lot
of it just keeping up with the projects on Carol's group. Once I used
that paper I decided I would never go back to trying to make do with
just regular printer paper. The special paper makes it so much easier
to remove the bits and pieces.

I love the movement the quilting gave your miniature, Sandy. I have 7 of
the little blocks completed. I would have more done, but I had to stop and
finish cleaning a closet to send donations to the church rummage sale that's
happening this weekend.

I'm almost done with my second package of Carol's paper since joining her
group.

Oh my goodness, Sandy. That is just incredibly gorgeous. Takes my breath
away. May have to go find the portable oxygen. Wow. Polly

Wonderful! The quilting is great; you must be used to your BSR. :-)

If it's lonely, it can visit my mini quilts anytime.

What a great little quilt. It suits its name!
Now you know why I do the odd miniature g
It certainly does look hot; and your quilting is beautiful.
I hope you enjoyed it, and that it will be the first of many.

Another beautiful quilt, Sandy. It's hard to believe it's only 12" square -
maybe you should send it to me to be measured again!
