Happy Thursday! About this time last year I was wrapping up work on a mini project. It was literally a mini quilt! I'm happy to share that I have a quilt in the new book Fun-Size Quilts out this month from Martingale! I love making mini quilts, so contributing to this book was a no-brainer!
Imagine my surprise when I saw the cover for the first time, and my quilt on it? My Fox in a Box quilt is on the right!
What started as a tulip design quickly morphed into a fox! This was the first time I've ever used an embellishment on a quilt, but I think the whimsy the button eyes give the foxes is worth it!
I used Indian Summer by Sarah Watson and various Elements from Art Gallery Fabrics for this mini quilt! I kept the quilting minimal to let the design shine!
A few of my favorite mini quilts from the book:
Elongated Triangles by Missy Shepler.
White Stars by Julie Herman.
Perhaps by Thomas Knauer.
Martingale is offering one lucky reader a digital copy of Fun-Size Quilts! To enter, leave a comment letting me know your favorite mini from the book (you can see them all here). Giveaway will run until Wednesday, July 30th at 5pm CST. Stop by the Martingale blog for more chances to win!
I really enjoy the stalagstripe quilt. I think it looks fun and the name is fun too!
ReplyDelete#17 of the pictures is my favorite. The book looks very interesting; thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love starlight and perhaps
ReplyDeleteI love the Sew Sew Sew one, it would be great on the wall of my sewing space, thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteLove the pinwheel one!
ReplyDeleteLove the stars! White Star and Starlight- so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for pinwheels, so I'll have to say that is my favorite.
ReplyDeletemy bestie needs that hedgie mini -- it's adorable but I love all the patterns
ReplyDeleteI love perhaps. Very modern and great for a guys room too
ReplyDeleteThe hedgehogs, the hedgehogs...they're awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI like sew, sew,sew
ReplyDeletei like the cute little hedgehog quilt. i like yours a lot as well. thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! They are all delightful, but I love the hedgehogs!
ReplyDeleteI love anything with animals so I would have to say my favorites are "Fox in a Box" and " Hedgehog Heyday". Thank you for this great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think the Hedgehog Heyday looks so cute.
ReplyDeleteThey all are really nice, but my favorite has to be the one with hedgehogs;)
ReplyDeleteI love the hedgehog one. I see people putting names, but when I went to the link I only saw numbers with the quilts. I also really like 'Perhaps"
ReplyDeleteFox in a Box is so much fun and it is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love White Stars! I think I would enjoy making any of these quilts, though!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite mini is the Fox in a Box
ReplyDeleteI really like the Fox in a box but I also love the one with Hedgehogs on it! So cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Fox in a Box!
ReplyDeleteDo I have to only pick one? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Pinwheels and also the Fox quilt ( my 4 yr old grandson walks around singing "What does the Fox say?)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many great ones in this book. Your Fox in a Box is absolutely adorable, so it gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteI love Perhaps!
ReplyDeleteI love fox in the box, I've been looking some people making quilt with this pattern alot at IG - make me fall in love..
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance ..
Love your foxes...adorable! Also like Stalagstripes :)
ReplyDeleteI think White Stars is probably my favorite. I like how the white just pops out from the color. It'd be fun to play with other solids, such as black or yellow, to see how they look.
ReplyDeleteI really really love your foxes.
ReplyDeleteI always love foxes, but those hedgehogs are awfully darn cute!
ReplyDeleteThe Hedgehog is really so cute! What a fun book!
ReplyDeleteI like the White Stars and that adorably cute Hedgehog quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love your cute little foxes and the white star one. Thanks for a chance at a great prize:)
ReplyDeleteLove these quilts! The one that catches my eye today is "Elongated Triangles" because it is so different from anything I've made before.
ReplyDeleteThat hedgehog quilt is adorable! Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Julie Herman's White Stars.
ReplyDeleteI like Thomas's Perhaps !
ReplyDeleteI love those little hedgehogs. by CheriLeffler
ReplyDeleteFox in a Box is just so cute and I would love to make this mini for myself or maybe make this for my niece. She would just love this mini. Thank you for giving me the chance to win my own copy of this book to enjoy over and over again.

Oh, they are all wonderful! Perhaps would be at the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteYour foxes are captivating, and I really like the hedgehogs!
ReplyDeleteI want to figure out how to make a chicken to go with all the foxes...or lots of little chickens and then 1 fox!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere are several quilts I love. I do like your fox one. I have loved foxes before they became a trend! nridder@hurontel.on.ca
ReplyDeleteOh boy - I love Fox in a box and Woven Stars! vicnorm@Yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love your "Fox in the Box" as well as the "To-Do List". I tend to love the whimsical quilts the best. :)
ReplyDeleteit is between the fox and the hedgehog one...they are both so cute! thanks for the chance to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteI love your Fox in the Box....adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love Perhaps, thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteFox in the Box is too cute
ReplyDeleteI love the white stars quilt! I'd really like to make one :)
ReplyDeleteI could see myself making the Fox in A Box, the Yellow Pinwheels, or the Hedgehog. I like to make the smaller quilts for the walls or tabletops.
ReplyDeleteI like the fix one, the stars and to/do list :)
ReplyDeleteI like the polka dot flowers on page 12/20. It's adorable, love polka dots.
ReplyDeleteFox in a Box is my favorite, but I'm sure I'll make more than one from this darling book!
ReplyDeleteWell, of course, yours is my favorite. But the hedgehogs are a close second.
ReplyDeleteLove your fox and have friends with that last name so guess what they might get for Christmas???! pjrcontest@msn.com
ReplyDeleteAny of these quilts would look so cute in my daughter's nursery! Love your foxes and the pinwheels the best.
ReplyDelete(majesticjenkinsATgmailDOTcom)
I can't decide between the foxes and the hedgehogs . . .
ReplyDeleteI love the foxes
ReplyDeleteFox in the box is really cute. I think it would be great fun to make
ReplyDeletethose foxes are too cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for Stars.
ReplyDeleteThe book has an awesome collection of mini quilt patterns. The foxes and Perhaps really catch my eye.
ReplyDeletesuch a cute book! Congratulations Jeni!
ReplyDeleteQuilticious is one I plan on making. I think I already have some colors I can use.
ReplyDeleteLove the White Stars!
ReplyDeleteI love the foxes quilt!
ReplyDeleteTo choose just one is hard to do, so I would have to say that two of them just have to get made. The animal themed quilts are just too cute for words. Your foxes and Cheri Loefler's hedge hogs will be at the top of my 'to do' list.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Skyscapes. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would like to try elongated triangles - that would be a really cool quilt to make.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is on the cover, Fox in a Box. The second I saw it I knew I would have to make it. My other must makes are Sunshine and Woven Stars.
ReplyDeleteWhile they are all great looking quilts I think that PERHAPS is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThey all look fun, but I think I like White Stars best
ReplyDeleteI love them all! My grandkids would love the Fox in a Box.
ReplyDeleteYour foxes are too cute! Just saw a fox out in the front field, so I'm taking that as a good luck sign. ☺ Thanks a bunch for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletemy nana maree @ yahoo . com
To-Do List would look great on the wall in my sewing space!
ReplyDeleteI'd say White Stars since one usually sees white used for the background and colored or printed stars. kthurn@bektel.com
ReplyDeleteI love the foxes!! how fun and perfect for little boys!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Sunshine. Just love pinwheels
ReplyDeleteI really like the Sew, Sew, Sew quilt! I've seen similar designs in the past, but my studio doesn't have a lot of surplus wall space, so a mini would suit perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make all of them, but I just adore your Fox in a Box - he is so cute!!! Perfect for the grandbabies!!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but your fox in a box is stinkin cute!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your Fox in a Box mini!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the White Star quilt - maybe in Christmas prints. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteI like the one that looks like a bar chart - very simple but still effective!
ReplyDeleteI love the foxes! So cute! I just heard about your site last week and am so impressed with your creativity! Thanks for sharing some great things!
ReplyDeleteI actually really love your foxes! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but your quilt is the cutest. Thanks!

A tie...Fox in a Box and Hedgehog Heyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win this awesome book
Mine is the Hedgehog Heyday.
ReplyDeleteI think they are all quite nice but I would have to say "HI" is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI love "Perhaps," but "HI" also makes me smile because my son is in a phase where he says "hi" randomly to people and animals and objects and it is quite adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of "Perhaps", but I love the Foxes in Boxes best! So cute! I hope I win this book. If not, I will buy it soon! Yay for mini quilts!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so cute but my favorite is Sunshine.
ReplyDeleteWhata does the fox say!
ReplyDeleteLove the little foxes and then my second choice would be the hedgehogs.
ReplyDeleteI like Perhaps the best of all.
ReplyDeleteWhite Stars is my favorite! I love the white stars popping off the colorful backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI love your 'Fox in a Box' quilt, but I have to say my favourite is “Quiltalicious”
ReplyDeleteby Melissa Corry - I'm a sucker for pink and chevron design!
I really love you foxes but my favorite is 'Elongated Triangles'. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe hedgehogs are really cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the pinwheel one on the cover!
ReplyDeleteI do love your fox faces!!
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to White Stars.
ReplyDeleteJane @ Handiworking.com
Oh, the hedgehogs are my favorite, followed closely by your foxes.
ReplyDeleteLove The Fox in a Box quilt - my friends daughter had a baby boy today and she has named him Fox.
ReplyDeleteI love the mini pinwheels, and the gorgeous hedgehogs, white stars and your fabulous FOxes which my granddaughter will love.

I think all the mini's are great. I think the 1st one I want to make is the hedgehog. Next, your foxes. but eventually, all of them.
ReplyDeleteI love the sunshine quilt! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSunshine is one of my favorites, but there are SO many cute ones that I'd love to make!
ReplyDeleteThe hedgehogs quilt is SO ADORABLE!!! It made say "ahhhh" when I saw it.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt Jeni, those fox faces are so cute, and with that size little Jake and I can play I spy......
ReplyDeleteI love the mini stars quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuch adorable little quilts! I think my favorite is your Fox in a Box! Love the button eyes!
ReplyDeleteThe first one I make will be Elongated Triangles.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably choose the 4 Patch Shift to do first since scrappy looks come easier to me. It's hard for me to commit to just a few fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI really like the fresh look of Elongated Triangles , think I'll try that one
ReplyDeleteI completely LOVE the fox one. It is so cute!! Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite mini is the 'To-Do List'.

ReplyDeleteFoxy. I must make this for a daughter

Sunshine is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYour "Fox in a Box" made me smile and think of the song "What the fox say?"
ReplyDeleteLove the foxy!
ReplyDeletejchiagan at yahoo dot com
it is a toss up between the foxes and the hedgehogs. My grandson is an animal nut and would love either
ReplyDeleteI have three favorites: Elongated Triangles, Fox in a Box, and the pinwheel on the cover. Congratulations on being a cover girl!
ReplyDeleteThose fox blocks are too stinking cute! I want to make a thousand of those!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite mini-quilt is by Heather Valentine with the flower appliques! I love yours too, but the flowers are my passion!
ReplyDeleteLove, love those baby hedgehogs, your foxes and the stalactites and stalagmites.
ReplyDeleteI love those foxes. I really want to make a fox mini using Libety fabrics and white noses!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the hedgehog quilt best. I am really into hedgehogs ATM. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love the stars
ReplyDeleteLove perhaps
ReplyDeleteDon't make me choose! I love them all but the foxes are really cute.
ReplyDeleteA mini quilt is on my bucket list and I have to do Fox in a Box. They remind me of my Toy Pomeranian, KoKo. Sweet. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but would start with Perhaps
ReplyDeleteYours. I want to make 2 for my twin nieces.
ReplyDeleteYour "Fox in a Box" mini quilt is adorable! However, my favorite is the modern "Elongated Triangles" mini quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love white stars. It would look fabulous hand quilted.
ReplyDeleteI love Fox in a Box and Hedgehog Heyday. I guess I'm a sucker for cuteness!
ReplyDeletemy favorite is the fox quilt. hands down. Love the hedgehog quilt too.

ReplyDeleteI love the hedgehog quilt! sarah@forrussia.org
ReplyDeleteSo many cute designs in this book! My favorite is a toss up between your adorable foxes and Thomas Knauer's Perhaps.
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful... which to choose to stitch first!
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone not be enchanted by your Fox in a box. One of my sister's uni friends and now a big part of our family introduced me to that crazy song - What does the Fox say!!! Well ever since then I have been Fox obsessed. So naturally you can guess that a fox quilt is on top of my next quilt list.
ReplyDeleteYour fox quilt is just so lovely. We are living next to a forest in Switzerland, and we see the real ones quite often :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh. That's such a tough question. Your foxes, Julie's stars, the hedgehogs ... too many cute things to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI love white stars.
ReplyDeleteI am totally in love with Four Patch Shift!
ReplyDeleteI just a direct our Fox quilt, hope I won and thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletethere are so many great quilts in this book, it's hard to choose one. I'd start with Sunshine and To Do List
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to narrow it down, but I really love your fox quilt and a close second is the pinwheel. The book looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love the pinwheel quilt!

ReplyDeleteI really like Elongated Triangles.
ReplyDeleteFox in a box and the hedgehogs!
ReplyDeletei LOVE your Fox in a Box quilt!
ReplyDeleteI like so many of them I need a copy of the book at hand just to know all the names. There are at least six I want to make for myself, and more for friends, and with minis I could do that!
ReplyDeleteI like all of them! Your 'fox in a box' is the cutest ever! And I love this one
ReplyDelete“Quiltalicious”
White stars would be lovely to use with Dreamin Vintage! Your fox quilt is an eye catcher and you are right, the embellishment really adds so much. I think I will make this quilt too.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I can't pick just one. In my mind I have already chosen bits of fabric to make four or five. :)
ReplyDeleteLots of them! But I love the candy corn looking one, pinwheels, and the HST with steps.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Perhaps!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is perhaps!
ReplyDeleteI like yours, the white stars and the last one they showed on Martingale.
ReplyDeleteI love the 3rd one but the one with flowers w/rick rack stems is a close 2nd.

I like Skyline.
ReplyDeleteThe foxes are lovely, but my favourite is the "elongated triangles" quilt with improv
ReplyDeleteI can't pick one favorite, there are about a half dozen I'd love to make! Sew, sew, sew might motivate me! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteI think the foxes are my favorite. Or the pin wheels. Or the elongated triangles... Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteThe link to the site is not working at the moment I guess as I cant' get ther, but since I love working with stars, I love the White star you have posted here. I was gong to make on with white background and colored stars, but I like this way better. The stars kind of stand out better. And agreat way to use up scraps! Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult to decide: foxes, hedgehogs and stars, all are so cute. But I go for "Sunshine", cause I love pinwheels.

ReplyDeleteI think White Stars is my favorite. New take on a classic.
