Mini Quilt Month – day 2: online tutorials

In honour of my just released book Whip Up Mini Quilts, published by Chronicle books

I declare April to be Mini Quilt Month! Every day this month I will posting tutorials and features – all mini quilt related.

To kick start mini quilt month – I want to point to a whole bunch of free online tutorials to help you make your own mini quilt.

handmade by alissa – she made these placemats for a present – they are so cool – whipup featured a tutorial by weeks ringle a few years back [pt1 + pt2] on how to make something similar – but basically they are mini-quilts – love them.

Also try your hand at making this doll quilt – the tutorial is in a four parts at sew mama sew and this sew mama sew mini quilt uses an interesting method + Elizabeth’s advent calendar quilt was truly inspiring.

I really like this free-style mini quilt – lots of overlapping scraps and free-motion stitching.

Remember a few years ago we did whiplash challenges – Vintage ric rac made a tutorial for making her selvage mini quilt. And also as part of the mini quilt whiplash challenge Lady Harvatine’s confetti quilt tutorial (miss harvatine is also a contributor in the Whip Up Mini Quilt book).

I liked this embroidered alphabet quilt when we first featured in a while back. And this mini tree quilt from the Purl Bee last year had to have been my fave Christmas craft.

Mini quilts for dolls and doll houses are a must – here is a simple tutorial from crazy mom quilts. Here is a tutorial to use up leftover bits from a full size quilt to make a quick quilt for the dolls bed. And another very sweet dolls quilt using a pinwheel block. [see image above] And make sure you check out Amanda Jeans ticker tape quilt tutorial at sew mama sew. And at Moda Bake Shop another adorable doll quilt.
