It’s rare that I finish the scrap quilt before the main quilt, but there was something about the leftover triangles that were begging for my attention!
The quilt measures 20″ by 20″ and is made from the scraps left over from my Children at Play quilt.
I’m calling this little quilt, “Little Things” and not just because of the 252 one-inch HSTs! Seeing the image of the girl smelling a flower reminds me that oftentimes, it’s the little things in life that bring the most joy.
Today some of that joy came from a hug from my 1-year old and a silly joke told by my 4-year old. What little thing brought you joy today?

I absolutely LOVE this! I have a bunch of one in HSTs sitting on my table right now and I think this is what I want to do with them!
Really sweet Nicole. Laughing with a coworker brought joy today…
This is so cute – love all of the tiny HST's and the fabric in the centre!
Wow, this is so awesome, what itty bitty HST's! What brought me joy? Being ablt to catch up on my blog reading 🙂
I love it!!!!!
Love the generous white border and the balance it adds. Love your straight line quilting – how do you mark your lines?

Watching my boys "work" at the Krispy Kreme factory in the Children's Museum of Winston-Salem all morning! I love this little mini!
THIS brought me joy today. FANTASTIC! You have such a great eye! Love it.

Goodness gracious!…your little quilt is so pretty! Being able to sew a little bit each day brings me joy…and your quilt!
This is just precious, Nicole! What a great keepsake this quilt will be for your kids!
Oh, what a beauty! It is a treasure : )
I got to quilt and laugh in person with a great friend today as well as quilt while on the phone with another. Priceless! Can you share the joke?
Your quilt just did!!!
But, today, I smiled when the one year old was sitting on the lap of my 9 year old and rolling a ball to his 12 and 15 year old big brother.
Be still, my heart!
Great job – your mini is stunning!!

This is gorgeous!!
Stunning Nicole!!

Sweet and stunning!! Good, actually great work!!
Have a super great sewing and stitching day!
This quilt is too adorable! I love it.
I notice you seem to do a lot of minis. Are there any particular tips or tricks to doing such small quilts? I've not yet tried one, but am thinking about it…
Love the teeny triangles!
Hi The memory of the smile of a crush I had as a freshman in college made me smile. A song that was played on the radio made me think of him. I haven't seen him in almost 20 years. He only had eyes for tall,beautiful, Beyonce girls. He used to pat my head and say, "hi lady" I'm pretty sure he thought I was a puppy.

Very nice! I love the quilting. Amazing that you've finished it so quickly. :0)
Such a gorgeous quilt! How did you manage with those HSTs! =D
That mini is gorgeous – I do love the girl in the centre. The simple moments in life are often the most joy-filled and I think that is what your mini quilt seems to say.
SO cute : )
I really love your quilt. Where did you get the fabric with the little girl? I would love to get that to make for a little girl I have in mind.
This is adorable! I can't believe those tiny HST! Now you make me feel guilty for throwing my scraps away. The quilt is just darling!
It's beautiful. What patience!!
Love the way you quilted it.
Sewing brings me joy. (OK, now back to sewing.) 😀
I've been thinking of projects where I could fussy cut the little girls of color and make something for my girls (since this is about the only fabric line where that's even an option) and this is so amazingly sweet and perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
