Here’s my second entry to the Minimal Mini Challenge<\/a> by Curated Quilts.<\/a>\u00a0 You can see my first entry ‘Twist of Lime’ here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For this one, I used 3 of the colors in the palette – light gray, blue gray and black.\u00a0 I call it ‘Blue Stairs’.\u00a0 It’s 14 inches square.<\/p>\n

I used my favorite freezer paper (FP) piecing technique that I teach in my Circles workshop.<\/p>\n

Here’s a brief explanation of the technique, referring to the photos below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I draw my design on FP and cut the pieces apart on the lines.\u00a0 I press the FP pieces to the back of each fabric, and cut the fabric with a seam allowance.<\/li>\n
  2. Then I reassemble the pattern by overlapping the seam allowances. Working from the back, I stitch in the gap between the paper templates.<\/li>\n
  3. Then from the front, I trim each seam allowance very close to stitching. This leaves raw edges, which I covered with thin black bias tape.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m really enjoying this mini challenge, and I have a few more ideas, but I really need to tear myself away and work on another project that is due by the end of January.<\/p>\n

    Take a look at all the entries that have been submitted to the Minimal Mini Challenge<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m sure there will be a lot more added in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
