This adorable 8” square mini quilt would make a great addition to a baby’s or small child’s room. It would also make a great baby shower gift. The giraffe and heart are appliqued; the hair along the back of the neck is fringed, adding a bit of 3 D fun. The mini quilt can easily be made to look more girly by adding a tiny bow to the top of the head or tail and by placing crystals in the center of the small flowers. The background of the mini quilt is quilted in the hoop with a heart motif and the various borders get attached during the in the hoop process. There is a “sleeve” in the back that will make it easy to hang the mini quilt. No additional hand or sewing machine stitching is required.

This mini quilt can also easily become a quilt block in a larger project. Just skip applying the sleeve and the back, and you have a quilt block for making a pillow, crib size quilt, or larger wall hanging.

Also included with your purchase is a plain block (without the designs, but still with quilting stitches). This will allow you to insert a design or fabric of your own choice. It would be great for insertion of a large monogram.
