The ever lovely Sarah Fielke released her latest book, Little Quilts back in September. She co-wrote this book along with Amy Lobsinger. The book includes 15 adorable mini quilts, perfect for swapping with your friends! And who doesn’t like a teeny tiny mini quilt? No one who is normal anyway, they are so cute!

As part of the book launch, Sarah hosted an international quilt swap through instagram – you can check out the hashtag #littlequiltsswap to see all the sweet quilts that have been made. I think the hexagons with the bee you see on the cover was the most popular quilt, there are so many buzzing around on the feed…

I was lucky enough to receive a lovely partner in Belinda, who is a fellow aussie and I know online through several social media. She is great value, so I wanted to give her something that was especially special. Because I am still twelve years old on the inside, I write my name on everything. So, I did the same for Miss Belle. I really enjoyed making this mini, with all it’s lovely improv trees and letters. The letters were great! I just went for it and am thrilled with how it came out. . Sarah actually teaches a very similar improv quilt in her Craftsy class, Big Techniques From Small Scraps, which is such a great class watch. I finished it off using the fast and easy hand binding tutorial, with my favourite magenta perle thread. And I may just have snuck some hand quilting in there too..

Dontcha think it’s adorable? Belle tells me she loves it too, which is the best part.
