Made in Cherry Mini

So, I guess I missed the actual end of the quilt-a-long, but I did finish!

The star is various scraps, the solid is Kona Pomegranate, and the back is Joel Dewberry print (that I got on sale, yay!).

I echo quilted 1/2" lines on the pomegranate. Inside the star, I echo quilted at 1" intervals. That turned out to not be the best choice, as it shows every little piecing error (and there are plenty of not-quite-perfect intersections). Another case of live and learn. I seem to have a lot of those.

Final dimensions of this mini is 19 1/4 inches square. Though it isn't, ahem, perfectly square. The pieced squares are finished at 1".

    This is so perfect! I love the pomegranate! I feel like now I should make a mini-version of my regular size made in cherry. :) I almost like the mini better!
