First, I created a whimsical village mini quilt - fussy cutting the "Happy Home" print cottages for the centers of my Economy Quilt Blocks. Plus all of the redwork and cross stitch fabrics were fussy cut for print and direction. I foundation paper-pieced the blocks on StitchnSew EZ Print Quilt Block Sheets. This project doesn't have a pattern - it was just me playing around in my studio. My little cottage mini measures 20" x 20" and I added pink rick rack around the perimeter before binding. I thought this tiny quilt turned out super cute and showcases these darling prints perfectly! I added hanging tabs and used my favorite wrought iron flag hanger to display.
I also decided to make a super cute "Pretty Posies Pouch" - I created my mini charm zippered pouch with a boxed bottom and a wrist strap. With all the wonderful little details in each print, it was fun to fussy cut mini charm squares to focus on the special motifs in each fabric. This pattern is my own design and can be found in my Etsy Shop.
