All of the mini's here are adorable. Who would've thought to do a triangle??

I love the color...Love your orange mini plus quilt. I love the color orange. It is the color of sunshine and happiness, bright flowers, sweet drinks and juicy fruits. It is festive and auspicious. It is the color of rich curries and fatty salmon steaks. Purple is tricky to work with. I am not sure whether to lump it with the cool (blue-greens) or the warm (pink-fuchsias) colors. It works well with orange, though and a touch of green adds pizzaz. Binding tiny things can be tricky. I have used the backing (cut larger than the front) folded on to the front as a pseudo-binding. I also like Amanda Jean Nyberg's tutorial on binding tiny things - http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2014/12/how-to-bind-tiny-things.html<br />I am looking forward to your next post...as usual.<br />Hugs,<br />Preeti.<br />http://sewpreetiquilts.blogspot.comPreetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-65848444504939525802016-03-19T23:06:44.124-04:002016-03-19T23:06:44.124-04:00Beautiful Sandra!Beautiful Sandra!Connie Kresin Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522467890442085228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-50013617131371770702016-03-19T18:44:18.952-04:002016-03-19T18:44:18.952-04:00Gotta love a good oxymoron.

As soon as I saw the one you made, before I even read that it was for Anja, I thought of her. <br />Maybe you should gear your swapping to fit which country you are in at time of swap, LOL. The between country shipping can be pretty cuckoo at times.
