Inspired by the mini quilt that I saw a while ago that Green Kitchen made, and also by the georgeous little quilts that Angry Chicken makes, I decided to make one of my own.. but in my style.
First I hand painted my image onto white fabric, then hand quilted/ stitched all the outlines and detail. I've never done any quilting before, so it was a new experience for me. I've really been getting into sewing lately. I can't stop playing with it now, like all cute blankets, cushions and other soft things, it just cries out to be touched.
Other than finishing this today I have been sitting at my desk staring blankly into space.. I have no inspiration, I think I just used it all up. Nothing is coming to me. Maybe its time to get my bookwork in order... uuurrrrgghhh.
UPDATE: This mini quilt is now in my etsy shop!

Hey Jules, that´s really nice, love it.
Wow! Your mini quilt looks great. The little x's in the moon are a nice touch. I can't express how much I *love* this. When I look at it, I just light up inside. The colors, the composition, just everything is wonderful.
Hey! This is so cool. Isn't it fun to do an illustration in fabric? I love how yours turned out. Did you use acrylics or something else? The mini quilt baton has been passed. I wonder who will pick it up next. Congratulations on your book. They look like very cool publishers. And, I've loving your fawns. They make me smile.
Wow, such nice comments :)
Yes, I used acrylics, but they were quite watered down.
I'm glad people are getting enjoyment out of looking at my stuff :) *thankyou for the sweet comments*
Love the mini quilt. The idea of painting and then sewing around makes it an amazing one-of-a-kind you should be proud of!
