Mini Quilt Mania!
Hi there! Paula here from over at The Sassy Quilter. Today I have a super fun and easy mini for you guys....
Isn't everything mini just cute!!! I have loved checking out all the fun mini's made by all the different guest bloggers here at FWFS. I don't know about you, but I want an entire wall of mini's for my sewing room:)

I used this yummy fabric bundle that Jodie helped pick out...She is the best at fabric pulling!!!
You will need only 1/4 yd cuts each of three coordinating oranges, yellows and blues. Then you will need 1/4 yd. of white.
Fat Quarters would work also.
Center Block
Cut (4) 1.5" x 9" strips of each of your nine colored fabrics.( 3 Yellows, 3 Oranges, 3 Blues.)
Take one of each of the fabrics and sew a strip set together.
Sub-cut into (4) 1.5" x 9" strips.
Cut (5) 1.5" x 9" strips of white fabric. I cut a few extras here.
Sew your center block together by alternating white strips and your cut strip sets.
Outer Border
Now to make the blocks for the outer border, you will make (3) Yellow strip sets, (3) Orange strip sets, (3) Blue strip sets.
Sub-cut each to yield (2) 3.5" squares.
The total number of 3.5" squares you will need: 6 Yellow, 5 Orange, 5 Blue.
Layout your top like this. Sew your top and bottom borders together and then your left and right.
Then attach top and bottom borders to the center and then add the left and right sides....
Yay! Your top is done!
I used my leftovers to piece together a cute backing....waste not, want not:)
I quilted it using straight lines and a walking foot. I used varying amounts of space between my quilting lines and didn't worry about keeping them straight....I like it a little wonky!
For my thread I used a light orange in Aurifil's 100% cotton 50wt. To wrap it up I machine bound it in white using 2.5" binding strips.
Just in case you missed them... here is the schedule for all the other fabulous mini's. I think I can fill my wall up pretty quick with these cuties!

I love the sassy colors you used on the mini.
That is one sassy mini quilt! Thanks for sharing!
And yes, everything mini *is* cute, especially to women. I read a book once that went into great detail about the reasons why, evolutionarily, women respond to small things with an, "Ahhhh...." response. Since then I have noticed my response to all sorts of mini things and it's true: I respond to tiny bottles of ketchup with a "oh, that's so sweet" as if it were a puppy. We are programmed to respond to small things as if they are helpless and need our nurturing...and quilts bring our the nurturer in all of us, so I'm fine with my immediate warm and loving response to all things "Mini Quilt". :)

Well, since the word sassy means, lively, bold, and full of spirit, the quilt is the personification of all these adjectives. I would very much like to make this quilt, especially using the same fabrics, since you went through the process of choosing them already. lol Sometimes I find this takes longer than anything! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
love the orange and blue fabric color choice.
It's so sassy, we're going to need more letters~ saaaasssssy
