I will do a catch up post soon but for now, before I run out of time, I'm entering the Modern Mini Quilt Contest over at Ellison Lane Quilts. By the skin of my teeth I might add, as the linky closes in less than an hour! Eeek! I had grand plans of a super-gorgeous-awe-inspiring quilt I would make using a block that I've redesigned but after much dithering, frustration and indecision I decided to take a step back and let it go. It just wasn't working, so that meant it was time for a new plan! I had a new idea that I was really happy with! Unfortunately by the time I had the good idea, I did not have enough time to make it :(
On to Plan C! I decided to enter my Mini DSQ. Plan C Finishes at 15½ " x 20".

Last year I joined in with the Dead Simple Quilt Along over at Lily's Quilts. You can read more about it here and here. While a bit late to the party as I was trying to finish this, I did put the top together in January(not pics yet sorry!). Then because I've decided to make a "Mini Quall of Fame" (more on that later!) and because I didn't have a big enough area to lay out the big quilt, I decided to make a little one to see how the colours played together and to try out a quilting idea.

I love this effect and will be doing it on the big DSQ too. It gives a plain back a nice pop.

I've missed your punctuation terribly!!! x
I love Plan C!! The quilting and the binding are a wonderful idea!!
Simple, yet elegant. Thanks for sharing!
The binding is perfect! What a sweet little quilt.
Love both of these - and the name for your Plan C is perfect!!!
Wow! I love the colors and the quilting. Hope to see the big one soon.
That looks so good, and I love the quilting. Also, the binding is so fun with little pops of colour. Great work!!
How did you do the back to allow for hanging? Ive never seen it that way before.
