The end of another month bring the reveal of
Number 6
Mini Mania Challenge
We have used the
Mini Ferris Wheel tutorial that was posted some time ago on
SewScatterbrained blog
The pattern used 112 paper pieces - the squares measure 1"
This is Ann's bright and breezy piece
Sandy also had bright circles on a lovely taupe background
Becca over at
Macaron Quilts has
got sucked in joined us this month and has had fun and games with her hexi's. I love her dotty border
Dee of (Deeroo Designs)- who appears to be the rebel of the group - has inverted the background and has used her low volume fabrics in the circles.
Jo -So SewJo has some zingy colours and has appliquéd hers onto a spotty background
And Lynda has also appliquéd her piece, this time onto a dark background. I think that this makes the whole piece pop!
Now, I have gone for a more
sludgy subtle colour-way this month. I like the earthy tones and I have used the Moda Shirtings for my low volume background
This was another fun project but I maybe should not have left so much to do at the last minute!!
August's Mini Mania Challenge
will be a Paper Foundation Pieced block and will measure 12" finished.

It's fun to see them all lined up together! Everyone did such a great job and it's fun to see how they're different.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a fun pattern for next month! I LOVE paper piecing, I'm glad you picked a paper pieced pattern. Off to pick fabric!
Best bit of the month seeing all the minis together....and don't they look good? Love the August mini, do you know how big the block is?
ReplyDeleteI think we all had a lot of fun and we are all happy to see them together! Now, beautiful August is going to be a real challenge for me, let's see if I have the skills to put it together... I do love a challenge!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more time as I would love to join your group. Later, later, maybe.
