I have owned this book, Little Quilts, for about ten years. I always love browsing through it, daydreaming about what to make next.

It was one of the first quilt books I ever bought, and a couple of my first quilt projects were these mini-quilts that have been on our nightstands for many years.

I loved the name of this little quilt so I just had to make it: “Stars in the Snow” I like to hang this one in my cubicle at work during the wintery season.

I recently bought this newer version of a small quilt projects, called Bits and Pieces, and I can’t wait to try a few quilts.

I want to make this one because it’s called Box of Chocolates-

I want to make this one because it reminds me of our garden, with the green grass and foliage dotted with splashes of color from the flowers. It’s called One Patch Garden.

I want to make this small quilt because it’s a great way to use up miscellaneous scraps. It’s called Waste Not, Want Not.

There are 18 patterns, organized by squares and rectangles, triangles, diamonds and curves. What another sweet book!

PS – The more I think about it, the more I realize these small quilt projects (average size is 16 x 20) would make great subject matter for a swap party. Anyone else interested?
