This mini quilt is my entry to the annual SAQA Spotlight Auction<\/a>. The auction will be an online event taking place during the 2024 SAQA Virtual Conference<\/a> (April 12- 20, 2024). It is an opportunity for all SAQA members to have their work showcased to a world-wide audience. All pieces will be 6 x 8 inches (portrait or landscape orientation). They will be displayed in mats with a 4.5″ x 6.5\u201dopening and placed in clear cellophane sleeves. The edges of the piece (.75″) will be hidden from view in the final presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how I found inspiration for this little piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was working in ‘Zesty, Bright and Spicy<\/strong>‘<\/a> in December, the trimmings from the circular shapes were piled on my white work table. I decided they were too pretty to be relegated to the recycle bin, so I took a photo and posted it on Instagram. Then I set the trimmings aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week ago I was looking for inspiration for my spotlight entry, and I remembered the trimmings and decided they would make a lovely little mini quilt. I fused the trimmings to black felt, then quilted an overall tilted grid with black thread. Ta-dah! I called it \u2018Trimmings<\/strong>‘. <\/p>\n\n\n
