Another Miniature Quilt - Winding Ways

The Winding Ways quilt pattern has always been a favorite.  I love the secondary patterns in it that you will see if you click on the quilt to enlarge it.  This was a kit, with the pieces already laser cut.  I don't think that I would have the patience to cut the tiny pieces used to create this mini.  I'm still having a problem with the bottom dark first border - there is a slight wow or bulge, and I've got to figure out how to fix it, but over all, I love the pattern and the colors.  Another UFO to click off as being half done.  Progress in the sewing room!

Storm at Sea Quilt

This is a miniature quilt - lots of fun putting it together. It isn't perfect, but the effect is okay. Sewing a miniature is so challenging - Little mistakes get magnified. I began this quilt in November, and put it away for a while. (Actually, I cheated and got a laser-cut kit from John Flynn in Billings, Montana, so I didn't have to cut out those tiny pieces.) Nice to have a project finished. I've heard quilts before saying "Better finished than perfect".
