After a long debate with myself I’ve decided to enter my ‘Starflower’ mini quilt into the Modern Mini Challenge<\/a> hosted by Ellison Lane Quilts<\/a>. This little quilt is 18″ x 18″ and was made for the Doll Quilt Swap Round 13.<\/p>\n

\"Starflower\"<\/a>I found a drawing of the ‘flower’ on the internet but couldn’t find either who had designed it nor a pattern for it so I sat down and started to draw out the pieces on a big piece of paper. The flower is English paper pieced and then appliqu\u00e9d onto the white linen background. I then quilted it with some Aurifil 50wt by echoing the shape on the background and the centre and some stitch in the ditch between the pink and purple shapes.<\/p>\n

The binding is slightly wider, finishing at about half an inch. I thought a border would be too distracting but liked the idea of using all the fabrics in the scrappy binding.<\/p>\n

This was the first EPP patten I ‘designed’ and it was quite a challenge to get all the pieces to fit together and lay flat. It was quite a steep learning curve but helped me a lot with designing my next EPP mini, Athea<\/a>. You could say this was the start to my obsession with designing EPP patterns. There’s another one in the works as I’m typing this.<\/p>\n

Edited to add: I found the pattern, Girih Tiles\u00a0by Endulzar, on Craftsy. If you would like to make this beautiful mini quilt you can buy the pattern here<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0for $1.95. Although I drew my own templates for this mini I have now bought the pattern as I do not want to cheat this talented designer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
