Pattern: Linkety Split by Nancy Rink
Size: 12" X 18"
Batting: Quilters Dream Poly
Thread: Glide 60--Sterling
Quilting: Rondelle from Urban Elementz
Interesting Info: I cut the blocks down to half the original block size. The original quilt has 7 columns and 15 rows. My mini version has 4 columns and 6 rows.
For reference, here are the two quilt together:⤵️
I quilted "Rondelle" on Quilter Bonnie's Linkety Split, here. I love how hers looks and decided to quilt it on my own mini Linkety Split, in a highly shrunk down version: ⤴️⤵️
I pieced together all my leftover bits and strips to get this crazy back!?! Please don't tell me it would make a great quilt by itself, because it looks like a hot mess!!! But at least I was able to put to use all those leftover pieces.⤵️
I think this block should be renamed, "Oklahoma"!! What do you think?!
Now to figure out where to hang it...
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
Great little quilt, that quilting design gives the piece a lot of movement.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's Oklahoma to me! Love this mini and your quilting of course, yum! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteAs we say in Minnesota, oh fer cute! I'm not sure about why it should be called Oklahoma (it's early, and I'm still drinking my coffee, so a bit slow yet), but I do like this little mini!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were in MN, Wendy! Whereabouts? I grew up in Wayzata, outside Mpls. I'll bet you have fluffy white stuff outside for your quilt photos right now...
DeleteNancy, your blog is dangerous to my bank account. Yet another fabulous quilting design that I cannot live without! :-). Cha-ching! Love that little mini quilt. You know, shrinking down a larger pattern is a great idea. My local chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild is doing an ongoing outreach project making placemats for Friendship Trays (formerly Meals On Wheels) and 12 x 18 seems like about the right size. I need to check the guidelines in the guild newsletter again. Thanks for all of your quilty inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOklahoma for sure!!!! I love all the colors in these!
ReplyDeleteLove it! And yes, Oklahoma for sure!
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy seeing all your creations, and especially all the different quilting patterns that you use. They look so different from the 'screen' version to the real thing! Thanks for sharing with us! This little quilt is great.
ReplyDeleteLove the mini lickety split! I'd use it as a table topper here. Love the grunge colors and the quilting.
ReplyDeleteLinkety Split is so pretty and such pretty fabrics and quilting. Well done on these beauties.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that? I like it better than the big version!
ReplyDeleteLove the mini one!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful. I admire your patience with it.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Love all those prety
colors. Have a great day!
I love how the mini coordinates with the large quilt. Both are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable!!! I love how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I'm kind of with Wendy! Not sure why Oklahoma....but why not? Whatever you call it, it is super cute!
ReplyDeleteOK! OK! Now I see it! The blocks do look like OKLAHOMA!!! SEW SEW cute!
ReplyDeleteTOO cute, Nancy!! Mini? Now you are speaking my language. :o))
ReplyDeleteCute mini version, and I love the back too ;))
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable!!! I love the quilting motif you used. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteI love the mini and the quilting pattern you used! It looks so tiny on its bigger version. I really really love the back but I wouldn't tell you it should be a quilt top on its own. Oklahoma works!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love your quilts! Both of them - large and small.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a mini-me Linkety Split next to the mama! Both are so lovely with your choice of colors and fabrics. The quilting is awesome too!
ReplyDeleteNancy this is terrific! Years ago (actually the year 2000 - I remember because there were just shy of 2000 squares in the quilt) I made a Trip ARound the World. I saved all the leftover fabrics in a bag with the plan to make a mini of that quilt. Well....this reminded me of it. :-) Love the quilting motif too, and thanks for linking up with DrEAMi!
