Mini Nail Polish Quilt

 Recently Kimberly from

The Fat Quarter Shop 

designed a

Nail Polish Quilt

My friend Lori Holt (Bee In My Bonnet)

re-wrote the instructions for

a Mini version

and provided a 

Free Tutorial 

on her blog.

 The minute I saw it I knew I had to make it.

Yesterday was a good day to stay indoors and

just sew

It felt quite luxurious to take a day 

and focus on such a fun project.

 Our 4 year old grand daughter loves nail polish.

Special time is when she and mommy sit together

and paint their fingers and toes.

It's a "Girl Thang"

This little mini will be a gift for her room.

It really did work up fast.

 It was fun to pick out colors for the polish

using scraps from my stash.

 Lori always provides so many great tips 

in her tutorials.

For this one she suggested 

using the backside of the fabric 

for the shadow spot on the lid.

Great idea!

 Next, my little mini needs to be quilted.

Do I want to brave it, or should I let 

Pat Roche

who quilts all of my quilts

 work her magic?

And, I had such a good time making this Mini that I really want to make 

the original size from The Fat Quarter Shop next.
