pack patch mini

Back in April, when Chase first talked about starting a pack patch mini quilt along, I knew I had to take part. Because I seriously love scrappy projects, and 1" finished tiny squares, and pretty much everything Chase makes.

Chase thought up a fun concept of different themes for each block (you can check them out here) which made making this mini extra fun and special. I must say though, as excited as I was about the quilt along, after just one week I fell off the wagon and could not catch up. I had two blocks finished when all twenty were supposed to be done :( That's as behind as one can get, right?

And then Chase posted pictures of her adorable mini. In that moment I dropped everything I was planning to do and spent my afternoon making all 18 blocks I still needed.

I used Kona Shadow for sashing and border and did some pretty dense straight line quilting. I'm still not sure if this was the best way to quilt it as the mini got extremely crinkly after washing. I do love it, though. Crinkles and all :) So, I'm definitely going to call it a success.

Thank you Chase, for coming up with such a fun quilt along.

In case you'd like to make a mini of your own, you can find the instructions here and Flickr group here.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. Svetlana
