Snowdrops Mini Quilt and Labels


First off, look at these nifty new labels! I ordered them from Custom Couture Label Co.. They do not ravel or fade. They look identical after one washing; I can vouch for that much so far. I am going to start using these when I make quilts and mini quilts. They have a 1/4" seam allowance so I can incorporate them into my bindings.

I just finished up another little mini quilt measuring 9" x 11 1/2." It is made out of 100% cotton and linen with cotton batting. I printed my snowdrop design in a tealish/green ink. I had a hard time photographing this one.

The colors are better in real life.

I put this quilt into my Etsy shop and thought it might be best to prewash it so that someone didn't buy it and later wash it and feel disappointed in the change of appearance. It has a crinkly look now which is also very appealing and the buyer can be confident in washing it because it has been through the ringer once already.

  3. question about the labels--what kind did you get?
    I've been looking for something similar for my quilts but I was using a twill tape style and the writing peels off so i wasn't too happy with them...

  4. This is adorable and I love the washed look but for a mini I wouldn't think that would be necessary?
    Love the label on it too!
