Here it is!!! My first mini quilt. I hand sewed the whole thing! I learned a lot in hand sewing this little quilt. I am so thankful for the lessons. I have decided that I like hand sewing. So I think I will always have one little quilt to be hand sewn going.. It is a nice project while watching tv.. and the nice thing about hand sewing is that I can walk away from it without forgetting what stitch I left off of- or what row..I have gotten tons of farm girl mail this week. Mostly fabric for swaps.. I was also gifted with a ton of quilting fabric from my friend Theresa. Not only did I get fabric but 4 completed mini quilt tops, 1 Christmas quilt top- completed, and enough squares to do about 4 more mini quilts! I am so excited.. 
On the rack are 4 mini quilts to be quilted, a Christmas quilt top, and the vintage quilt top I put together last week, and the sherbet quilt top I put together last summer.

This stack is mini quilts in various stages of progress.
Here is the fabric. all nice quality quilting fabric.. Even some hand dyed.. All so yummy. I feel very blessed.

Autumn, You are most welcome to link my blog to yours- I will do the same!
Thank you so very much..
Lea, thank you sweetie.. I feel very blessed with the fabric..
You have totally inspired me! I want to learn to quilt and to make some mini-quilts. I want to decorate my whole house with textiles. I just love what you are doing. My local community college offers classes in sewing (clothing, I think), quilting, and needlework (embroidery and tapestry work). I want to take them all but I am going to start with quilting, if I can. I have a simple sewing machine and some basic supplies to start.
Susan, I am so glad to have inspired you. Check the senior centers- they usually have a quilting group that will be happy to teach a younger newbie.
