Tomte Mini Quilt Finish

July 27, 2018

I have a Tomte mini quilt finish to show you today. Since it’s been a little more than a week of Christmas blog hops, I’ve been having fun getting some Christmas projects completed.

Tomte Finish - A little mini quilt, using the foundation paper pieced patterns by Moss & Lotus - piecefulthoughts.com

I had so much fun making this little tomte scene last year. The designs are foundation paper pieced. They are available from Moss & Lotus in their Etsy shop. When I made the blocks last November, there was a fun Instagram sew along and it was so much fun to see all the creativity that went into each person’s blocks!

This quilt is a little nod to my mom and her love of anything Scandinavian. She was Swedish, and each year at Christmas, she would bring out all of her Swedish decor. The little gnomes or tomte, were some of her favorites.

The little mini is 6″ x 18″. The backing is a plain white fabric, and of course I had to find yet one more excuse to use that candy cane stripe binding. It was just what this little mini needed!

I had some fun with the quilting, too.

Just couldn’t let that beard go without some waves!

That wraps up my Christmas quilting for now, but I still have a couple of holiday items in my UFO stack, so we’ll see if I get them done before December!

This weekend I’ll be catching up on my Moda Blockheads blocks. I’ll show them to you on Monday. Until then, have a great weekend, everyone!
