For my next Modern Quilt Guild meeting, it was suggested to do an ornament swap. I looked around at quilted ornaments and considered some of my own ideas. I settled on a mini quilt on a sewing machine. First I sewed together red and green strips in a wonky style. Then I cut them up for a mini quilt and also a tree design. Each sewing machine was just cut free hand out of vinyl making each one unique.
After assembling the pieces, I sewed down the machine, then free motion quilted on the mini quilt. With right sides together I sewed the blue pieces together. The last step was more free motion quilting in mini spirals around the blue. My first attempt came out a little big, it is better as a mini wall hanging. I decided to make another one smaller and keep one for myself.
