Sentimental Stitches

I’m glad to be back to the scheduled posting of Midget Mania after a migraine induced pause. I won’t bore you with all the aggravating details because these Midget Blocks are much more fun. Having said that, this block was probably part of my migraine trigger!
The Midget Block quilt top is at home and I’m [...]

How about some easy rotary cutting and simple machine piecing? That’s what we’re doing with the 9th block. You’ll have this one stitched up in no time at all!
I’m not used to having what is usually my background fabric be an accent color in a block. With this one, pink is the background color with [...]

Block 100!
I never thought about the fact that we’d get to the 100th block while doing this Midget Mania. I imagined making a very careful selection for what would be block 100 but like most things in life, let go and let God. I’m thrilled with the little beauty that was next on my [...]

I always thought this block was called Railroad Crossing but sure enough according to Block Base and the handwriting on the antique sampler quilt it’s Rope & Anchor. Who am I to question authority?

Whatever you decide to call it it’s an easy block to cut and sew so enjoy! Say that ten times really fast

Well I can see I’m just not going to get to 24 blocks in 24 hours when we’re only on the 6th one!It was a great plan and I’m going to keep going until we get to 24. I have to tell you I’m loving my new EQ7. Great upgrade EQ team!

This block is a [...]

This is an interesting little block. I know it looks like there are lots of extra seams in there. That’s what I thought when I looked at it too but I drafted it exactly like the block in the antique quilt.
It’s not in either my EQ7 library or Block Base so I’m guessing it must [...]

There’s just no way you can have a quilt with 187 little blocks and not have a signature block! It’s too bad the quilter who stitched the original blocks didn’t put her signature on the one in her quilt. Because some of the embroidery of the block names isn’t finished I’m going to assume that [...]

Clutch and I got up bright and early. Well, I got up bright and early while Clutch was in no way ready to face the day even with the morning sun shining on him.

This block will take a bit of time to put together. I think I’ll hand piece mine. If you want a little [...]

Welcome to the crazy Midget Mania day!

Things have gotten extra crazy for me. My Electric Quilt 6 quilt design program has crashed no less than 20 times over the last day so it’s a good thing I had my new Electric Quilt 7 upgrade ready and waiting. I have no idea what happened to my [...]

It’s been a long, long, looong time since I’ve posted any Midget Blocks so I thought a little Midget Mania was in order. I’m going to try and stitch all 24 blocks tomorrow! Haha, who am I kidding?
I’ll put together as many as I can and you have the option to print, stitch or save. [...]
