July Mini Mania Reveal

 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.

  1. 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.
    And what a fun pattern for next month! I LOVE paper piecing, I'm glad you picked a paper pieced pattern. Off to pick fabric!
