Mini Book Review and Giveaway
Starts TODAY!!
I am honored to be included in Moose on the Porch’s Book review and giveaway.
Konda has done it again with Simply Charming- Mini’s.
With fun quilt names like
Fire and Rain
Death by Triangles
Criss Cross Applesauce
In love with Minis ( Quilt not skirts!)
Flying around in Circles
and 12 more designs,
you will find a project to wet your quilting appetite.
Each of the quilts are shown in 2 color options to
encourage endless color layouts.
The directions are black and white with fairly big print
(my eyes aren’t what they use to be)
in step by step directions.
SO I GOT TO THINKING!
On Pinterest I saw this picture from greylustergirl.blogspot.com. She basically framed her thread rack.
I have always dreamed of a wall of pictures like this but that got me to thinking, what about a wall of mini quilts? How fun would that be? I guess this would cost a bit more than new wallpaper but it wouldn’t be near as fun as making a wall of Minis!

And then as the wall of minis grows, it could be a hallway of minis with studio lighting.
How great would that be?
Konda is kind enough to have offered a book for the giveaway. So leave a comment about what you could do with mini quilts and I will draw a winner at random on the 31st.
Today hop on over to Emily’s blog to read more.

DONT FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT.
I think a wall of mini quilts is a wonderful idea…maybe as your walking up the staircase. A new one revealed with each step! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like minis to make pillows – not too original but I like it!
I'd love to load my hallway up with minis! I only have the top half of the walls since the bottom half is wood.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the name of the quilts!
It looks like a wonderful book. I would also love a wall of photos! Thanks for the givewaway.
my collection of minis, many from swaps, are taking over my sewing room! I am thinking of hanging them around the top of the walls near the ceiling, like a wallpaper border…. looks like a great book!
I love mini quilts to put on a wall where you need just a little something! They add such a special touch! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like to hang minis on the wall or give them to friends!
Thanks for the giveaway – this looks such a great book!
I like to use minis as table runners or doilies. They perk up a room so nicely.
Recently, I've seen spots in my house that need some art. And wouldn't it be nice to have some minis to change out with the seasons?
We are hoping to build a new house next year and this is my plan to have hallways of little quilts
I just keep making them now and rotate my current wall of little quilts. VEry fun an great to use those charm packs 😉

Mini quilts could make great placemats or tabletoppers.
I have several minis that I have all along the top of the wall in my sewing room. I would like to have some that I can switch out in my living dining area.
Great ideas, thanks!
I have one hallway that has only one picture hanging on it. A wall of minis (I have six already) is a great idea! Must start painting that wall….:) Thanks for the giveaway!

Love the ideas – great use of charms.
I am really getting into making mini quilts and I am now making them to hang on my table top hanger. It will be fun to change them out.
thanks for a chance to win the book.
I have several "Simply Charming" books and would love to add the "Minis" to my collection. Thanks!
I would definitely have a wall of minis in my sewing room.
I am thinking about a little girl's room. All done up in pink, of course. I would use mini quilts in frames on one side of the rooms and then a wall made up of dolls. Just an idea. Thanks for the mini quilt review and a chance to win such a fantastic book.

Wow, walls of minis would be so fun. And of course giving them to family and friends.

I'm not ready to commit to a wall of minis, but a collage with a mini included is right up my alley!
It would be awesome to make a gallery wall of mini quilts. I have the perfect wall in mind!
I think a wall of mini quilts sounds great!!
I've been looking for the right piece to hang on the wall above my bed. I think some mini quilts may be the answer.
I've been making quite a few mini quilts this year and am looking forward to having a wall of minis in my home. 🙂
I'd really love to win this book. Thank you for the giveaway.
We have a standalone pantry (I plan to be buried in it, I love it so) in our kitchen; it would be so fun to hang them on the side walls or even the doors to make it a decorative element in addition to being a killer functional one.
If you use the right fabrics, mini-quilts are great for decorating for holidays.
My minis would cover the hall walls and a couple in each room, including the bathroom. I just love minis

I am thinking a wall of minis is a wonderful idea. That would be so cute. I hope I win this book. It sounds great.
I would love to do a wall of quilts everywhere in my house and this book would be just the thing to get me started. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
My mother and I have been thinking the same thing. We both love making minis, and since we live together, we are building quite a collection. A wall of minis! Fabulous! Thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity.

I do minis for swaps – my collection is a 'wall art' of sorts and I change it with the seasons. Also, make them for doll quilts for charity.
This looks like a great book. Thanks for the giveaway.
There is absolutely nothing hung on the walls of our spare bedroom. I think the mini's would be a welcoming addition hung there in a grid.
I think a wall of mini quilts would be perfect. I have many bare walls in my house although we've lived here 12 years. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the idea of a wall of mini quilts. You could actually change them out for the seasons (fall, Christmas, Spring, summer). Love the instant gratification of mini quilts 🙂
I would probably make them into pillows. Thanks for the giveaway.
I have a bucket list, I need to complete 2 quilts for my home and then onto mini quilts. I think they would make me very very happy.
I love making minis – I'm a weekend quilter so minis are perfect, I get to finish something in a weekend! I would love a wall of minis at the cottage – I have the perfect wall for it too!
For me, the fun of most mini's is the kind of instant gratification of a fun project that comes together fast.
Konda has great ideas and I would love a copy of the new book!
I just repainted my livingroom, and took everything off the walls, now wouldn't it look so much better with a wall full of mini quilts! I'm sure it would sound much better too, less echoing.
Would be a nice addition to the walls; thanks for chance to win! (EMAIL: marshudson at comcast dot net)
I like them as table toppers and gifts. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have been dreaming of a wall of mini quilts for months! I love the idea. This book sounds wonderful.
Pillows, table toppers hang in sewing room, gifts so many great ideas. Thanks for the chance to win…
I've already planned to make a wall of mini quilts in my spare room. I've participated in many mini/small quilt swaps over the years and thought it would be fun to put them all up so I could enjoy them.
I love mini because the are fast. I love when I finish a quilt. jillfroelich@yahoo.com
I think a wall of mini's is the perfect idea! I enjoyed your post!!
I love the wall of mini quilts idea! They are great table toppers and I like draping them over my mantle. I've never tried it, but they could make cute valances too!
