Around the Square Mini

June 6, 2018

I get to show you my Around the Square mini quilt today. I’m pretty excited to show this cute quilt to you, because it’s a new pattern released by Sherry of Powered by Quilting.

Around the Square is a fun pattern to make. It’s fat quarter friendly, and would also be easy to make by shopping your stash. Sherry does a great job of simplifying the pattern so it goes together easily and quickly. There are so many color ways that could be done with this pattern too. Two colors, like mine, or multi-colored like the quilt on Sherry’s blog. It would be a fun design to use with batiks, ombre fabric, or plaids.

Isn’t it cute nestled in my little yew?

I used red fabric from my stash and paired it with Natalie Barnes’ Makers Home Tatami Gray fabric. I love the graphic look it brings to the quilt. There was enough red fabric for the backing and binding too.

My little mini quilt measures 16 inches square. I quilted it with my usual wavy lines using Aurifil gray 50 wt thread.

With the little triangles left over, I made this little mug mat too.

This photo shows the actual colors in the quilt a bit better than the photos taken outdoors. You can also see my wavy quilting a little more in this photo.

Can you see the blue ox on the drinking glass? That’s a Minnesota joke between BigJ and me — he’s my Paul Bunyan, and I’m his Babe. Haha. (Actually it just helps us know whose glass is whose.)

I hope you hop over to Powered by Quilting and take a peek at the full size colorful Around the Square quilt. It’s so cheerful and fun. While you’re there, snag a pattern and make yourself a quilt!

Linking up today with Susan at Quilt Fabrication and Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts.

Happy Stitching, friends!
