Allow me to introduce to you the mini quilt I made for the Instagram Cotton and Steel Mini Quilt Swap!
It’s made primarily from fabrics from the Mochi collection by Rashida Coleman-Hale, with a few prints from other Cotton and Steel collections and a few solids.
With only 9 Japanese X and + blocks, it came together quickly. For the tutorial I used from badskirt, click here.
I kept the quilting pretty simple with vertical, horizontal and diagonal straight lines. A cool secondary design emerged where the lines intersected.
I used the back as an opportunity to use up a few orphan blocks that were part of my design testing. It feels good to give those blocks a home.
The mini quilt arrived safely at its new home and is getting lots of love!
Linking to Finish It Up Friday!

Hello, just visiting through Amanda Jean's link up. Brilliant quilting on your quilt, I love the way the secondary squares pop out of the design. the straight lines quilting gives it such a modern look too. Congratulations on a lovely quilt.
Love it!!!!!L
I like the back as much as the front. Interesting how the quilting changes the look of things, even when you are keeping it simple. Nice finish.
I just love the variety of designs that come out of these themed swaps, beautiful finish!

I struggle sometimes with Cotton & Steel. I want to love all of it, but sometimes it just doesn't speak to me. Your mini, however, sings to me! All my fav prints in one lovely package. I've yet to jump onto one of these swaps, but the chance of getting something as lovely as this has one tempted!
