This was one of my goals for 2016, to do a mini swap. Anja of Anja Quilts offered to do a mini swap with me anytime, and we decided to do a mini mini. The criteria was to be around 4-5" a side. I wanted to do something modern for Anja, and it had to have orange in it, her favourite colour. I had a brainwave to do a mini mini plus quilt! Hence the name "Oxymoron"! Get it?!
English teacher hat on: an oxymoron is a figure of speech where two opposing ideas or words are side by side in a phrase, like "friendly fire" or "soft rock". When I thought of a Plus quilt, obviously the plus sign is what it is. However, think plus size, not just clothing but anything else. The opposite: mini, and you have "Oxymoron." :-)
